Ch.1919 – Return Broadcast

# [HyeBam Returns Like a Dog After Just One Month lol]

“What’s this six-month reflection period nonsense? One month is plenty!”

-Doesn’t she care about public opinion? So shameless

↳??? She didn’t do anything wrong in the first place. Are you even aware of the facts before running your mouth? lol

↳Randoms are a science, aren’t they?

↳Being blacklisted for collabing once or twice with “those members” was a bit of an overreaction tbh lol

↳FACT) The people here were the ones who tried hardest to bury her

-She got burned by collabs and her first comeback stream is another collab?

↳Her mental is forged by countless wildebeests

# [If HyeBam is Making a Comeback, Does That Mean Fyodor and Yi Mir Will Return Soon Too?]

I don’t know about Yi Mir, but Fyodor… lol

-Honestly, Fyodor was too obvious about being close with Bebegood

↳Whoa

↳Holy moly

↳Please refrain from using forbidden words

“Alright, public opinion looks good.”

Sia was browsing various community sites to gauge the reaction to her streaming comeback announcement.

When she was caught up in the cancellation wave, she was so upset she could barely sleep, but spending a month focusing on her main job as a college student without the stress was also refreshing.

She made thorough preparations for her return to streaming after such a long break.

Though Sia had been streaming for less than three years, she really made a name for herself after appearing on “Docu 4 Days.”

She gained even more fame than “Retro,” the professional first-string player who was technically the main subject of “Docu 4 Days (Legacy of Legend edition),” largely because she was the only female player in the highest tier.

It also helped that on Twissy, where most streamers use avatars and voice modulators making it hard to tell their gender, she was the one who most clearly confirmed hers.

Just to be safe, she checked the comments on her announcement post again to see if there were any strange reactions.

[Twissy Streamer HyeBam here. Returning with a surprise collab with someone who’ll shock you]

-Is it Bebegood?

↳He’s in jail right now

↳Do you really have to crawl in here and stir up drama?

-A comeback stream AND a collab? So exciting~

-If you’re late for today’s stream, I’ll find you, rip out your ponytail, and turn it into twintails

↳That’s scarier than someone threatening to come with a knife lol

“Ready? Should we start the stream?”

“Do I really have to wear this?”

The cat ear headband felt extremely cumbersome.

But since this weird headband was apparently the voice-sharing microphone for the collab, she couldn’t just throw it away.

“It’s cute! Don’t worry, you’ll barely notice it once we start playing. Starting in 5 seconds.”

The countdown begins.

If you asked if I was nervous, I’d say yes. Very.

I’ve never been the type to enjoy being in front of people.

My relationships have always been few but deep.

One might question now whether they were truly deep, but they were certainly few.

The lights suddenly illuminate Sia’s waiting room, which is chaotically decorated with colorful posters and wallpaper.

[Stream Starting: 0:00:01 – HyeBam]

“Bamha~ Hello hello!”

-Bamha

-BamhaBamhaBamhaBamhaBamha

-Bamha

-Bro why are you so awkward lol Is it because it’s been a while?

-Congrats on the comeback

-BamhaBamha

Only Sia was visible on camera at first.

She showed her professional broadcasting skills by expertly adjusting the camera angle and lighting.

“It’s been so long since I streamed, I’m nervous! During my month-long vacation… I mean reflection period, I was so bored I thought I’d die.”

[‘DubuOneBlock’ donated ₩10,000!]

-Here’s some tofu for you

“Thank you DubuOneBlock for the 10,000 won donation! Anyway, I’ve been safely released. That’s how it is!”

-Who voluntarily goes to jail?

-lolololol

-Where did you go?

“Where would a loner like me go? At first I tried to get ahead on schoolwork, but I gave up and just played ranked games during preseason.”

[‘Delete’ donated ₩50,000!]

-You don’t need to explain, we all know lol Happy comeback HyeBam

“When you say it like that, it makes me feel weird, Delete oppa? It’s been a while since we talked, show some affection. Anyway, thanks for the 50,000.”

-I saw this person playing at least ten ranked games every day

-Sis, I won’t judge, but please go outside…

-Take a shower too

-Clean your room

-And stop ordering delivery food for every meal

“I told you I can handle myself! And I shower every day! Are you all my mom or something?”

Her emotional tone shifts several times in a short period. Is this what compressed live streaming is?

Sia continued greeting viewers while receiving various welcome donations.

After summarizing the situation, she readjusted the screen ratio. The camera pulled back, making the screen feel emptier than before.

“Alright, as announced, I’d like to introduce today’s collab content. Why didn’t I reveal who I’m collabing with or what we’re doing? There’s a good reason. It’s a properly prepared surprise.”

[‘Levranto’ donated ₩2,000!]

-For something so well-prepared, you posted the announcement rather hastily this morning. Was this collab decided suddenly?

“Well, that’s not entirely wrong, but I’ve actually been planning this concept for years.”

-What are you talking about lol

-Night Talk ON

-Busted already? I can smell the disaster coming

“Before introducing my partner, today’s content—or rather, this week’s content—will be ranked climbing to celebrate the new season that started today. Ta-da!”

-That’s what you always do

-Going for a losing streak?

“But! Just playing normally would be boring! I thought we’d try the newly revived duo queue this season. They originally removed it due to fairness issues, but I guess they brought it back because the game was lacking fun elements?”

Sia’s lips curl into a smile. She proudly displayed her rank from last season in the game info window.

“Can you see it? The gap between you all and me?”

[IfSunnyFallsThenNightComes Challenger / Ladder Ranking 186 / Top 0.00239%]

“And the person I’ll be duoing with is… I’ll show you their stats first since revealing them right away wouldn’t be fun.”

[■■■■■■ Bronze III / Ladder Ranking 6,880,996 / Top 88.71%]

She deliberately hid the nickname. It was her strategy to keep viewers curious until the game started.

After all, you can’t identify one of the world’s countless users by avatar alone.

“Come on out!”

As Sia gestured, I approached her side. The viewer count behind the camera had just passed 3,000.

“Hello.”

-Who is this…?

-That avatar is really kawaii

-Nice to meet you

The reaction was lukewarm. That was understandable given Sia’s insufficient explanation and my unremarkable girl avatar.

Viewers kept sending question marks in the chat.

“This person is reeeeeally famous in the League scene! But actually, today is the first time I’m talking with them like this, so we’ll get to know each other through this collab.”

-Famous but I don’t know who they are (literally what you just said)

-Did you just bring in some random fan?

-So basically this is a Bronze and Challenger duo queue content?

After that, she set up the donation conditions commonly used on Twissy when reaching certain tiers.

However, this time she modified the conditions as follows:

“How about we aim to reach Master within a week? I’m not sure exactly how skilled this person is, but I don’t think they’re terrible.”

[Mission – Reach Master within 70 games]

* * *

Master.

A term used to describe someone who has mastered something.

Swordmaster is one example.

But in modern times, there are too many masters. So many that the prestige has faded.

In League overall, their number is estimated at around 10,000, but proportionally they were beings you wouldn’t commonly encounter.

That’s why viewers were skeptical.

Even for a Challenger, carrying a Bronze player to Master seemed impossible.

But just as breaking such limitations makes for a more moving story, viewers placed their bets on Sia’s mission.

Saying you’ll definitely fail, but if you succeed, you’ll have shown me something more valuable than the money I wagered.

“What do you think? That I’ll fail? Are you all so sure?”

Six alphabet letters appear above my avatar’s figure.

The nickname that has now become my name.

“Hello again. I look forward to working with you. I’m NoName.”

It’s time to announce myself to the world.
