Chapter 104: Goddess of the Workshop

“…That’s how it happened.”

The man on the phone was explaining the circumstances that led to the commentary offer.

I roughly understood the situation, but I didn’t know the aftermath would be this big.

Like a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the earth affects the other side, I never thought that something that started with me would affect the league.

I feel like I’ve become some kind of influencer.

“…Do you have any thoughts on this?”

The man, who introduced himself as being from the league’s direct sales department, spoke cautiously, as if not to upset me in the slightest.

I get more uncomfortable when you’re so careful.

On the other hand, I thought it was understandable.

I also heard that there was no one like me to revive the league at this time with so little time left.

But he didn’t have to be so anxious.

It took a long time to hear the story, but the decision was quick.

“I’ll do it. Commentary.”

“Ah, thank you. Would you be available tomorrow? We’d like to invite you to our association.”

The reason I accepted the offer.

It was for one reason only.

It wasn’t because I felt sorry for these people, or for the eSports fans, or because the pay was high.

It’s just that… I really didn’t like the fact that our league was being pushed back on a global scale.

I wouldn’t say I have any particular patriotism, but I can confidently say that I have game pride.

This game pride also applied to international competitions.

I, who dreamed of becoming a pro, had affection for the league itself, so I wanted our players to perform well on the international stage.

That wish seemed to come true, for a while.

It was relatively recently that we started to be pushed back. But the thought that this inferiority might continue made me frustrated.

Since when has our country, called the nation of games, been ignored like this?

Perhaps because the number of viewers of the broadcast has increased, foreigners sometimes come to my channel when I’m playing AoW.

When I translated the phrases that they had plastered with dozens of lines in their language using a translator, that’s what it said.

Like, ‘ㅋㅋ 3rd-tier level, is this Challenger?’

As a gamer, it was a very, very infuriating thing to say.

In the end, even if I flew and crawled and achieved 1st place on the Korean server, wouldn’t I be unable to shake off the stigma of being a 3rd-tier league?

That was the biggest reason, and another reason was that I was thinking of increasing my external activities a bit.

I thought that if I showed my face in various places, I might get used to camera broadcasting.

It was an acceptance mixed with several complex reasons.

“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yes. Good work.”

After finishing the call, I thought.

Hmm, but can I do commentary on a broadcast watched by tens of thousands of people?

I’d be lucky if I didn’t tremble. I should just quietly watch and only say what’s necessary.

That person said that too. He said they don’t expect anything great from me.

With a trembling heart, I lay down on the bed.

Did the AoW Spring Opening Match come out?

Looks like it’s from the 20th for 3 months ㅇㅇ League schedule below

(League schedule link.)

ㅇㅇ : Yeah~ I’m not watching the 망 league
ㅇㅇ : Tickets were originally hard to get, but this time you could get them the day before yesterday. It seems like people aren’t going to see it?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : I’m just sick of the league ㅋㅋ I don’t think anyone but the die-hard fans will watch it
ㅇㅇ : I hate that they ruined the debut of the pro gamer with the nice voice, celebrity-like looks, and huge mommy milkers
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Park Kyung-Tae you fcking son of a btch
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : ㄹㅇ What’s so pretty about watching d*ckheads play games ㅋㅋ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : You’re being harsh

The returning AoW Opening Match will be with a special guest! (Guest: Streamer Mollru.) <<< What’s this?

Calling Mollru as a commentator??? AoW League knows what’s up ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㅇㅇ : This is real? This is real? This is real?
ㅇㅇ : I came to swear, but it’s official ㄷㄷ
ㅇㅇ : How did you recruit Mollru ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She wouldn’t even want to associate with the league
ㅇㅇ : Just Moll—-Hwang
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Mollhwang’s tolerance;;
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : Mollhwang with a big heart…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : (Majestic Emoticon)
ㄴ ㅇㅇ : (Don’t go against Mollhwang Emoticon)

If you’re going to be a commentator, you have to say you want to do it

It feels like a lie and I’m anxious

ㅇㅇ : Be grateful that she left a notice for the break
ㅇㅇ : It’s true if the break day and the tournament day overlap
ㅇㅇ : You’re asking for too much ㅋㅋ Just be grateful if Mollhwang tells you, and if not, just stay still?
ㅇㅇ : Just Moll—-Hwang

“Hello, Mollru-nim.”

“We’ve met before… well, not really, we did a competition together, right? Haha.”

The two people shaking hands.

Caster Bang Hyung-Jae and Kang Sung-Hoon, whom I met at the Switch AoW Streamer Battle.

“Hello. Please take care of me today.”

“You’re much better in person.”

“Thank you…”

I never get used to compliments about my face, no matter how many times I hear them.

Will that day ever come?

I shook the outstretched hand and thought that the world was a small place.

We looked around the stadium together while talking to get to know each other.

“The commentary box is this way, Mollru-nim is in the center.”

“…Why am I in the center?”

“Haha, you know why. It looks better that way, right.”

Usually, the caster is in the center and the commentators are on either side.

Today, I, who am not a formal commentator but only a guest commentator, was in the middle.

When I turned my gaze to the sales department person who accompanied me, he cleared his throat and avoided my eyes.

Ugh, okay. It’s not your fault. It must have been ordered from above.

I got paid a lot, so I’ll let it slide.

Contrary to my expectations, the contract conditions were very good for me.

Only the number of appearances is fixed, and there is no separate date or cycle.

Just a few times during the season. And if I tell them in advance the day I want to come out.

Also, the pay was quite… generous, contrary to my expectations.

Shi-Young, who is an expert in these matters, guaranteed that our conditions were good, so it was certain.

When I asked why the conditions were so good, he said that the newly appointed officer was very fond of the league.

I wanted to ask if the previous person wasn’t fond of it, but it would be a bit psycho to ask that here.

They must have been secretly pocketing money, as most high-ranking people do.

Anyway, it was a good thing for me.

“First of all, Mollru-nim doesn’t have any experience, so just respond appropriately to what we say, okay?”

“Yes. Is there a script or something?”

“There is no script, you just need to know that you say this kind of thing at this timing. And we tend to improvise a bit depending on the atmosphere. Mollru-nim can do it in between if you want.”

Improvisation. There’s no way I could do something like that.

That’s all I thought.

“Yes, today we will be watching the match between YDE and S#3. Caster Bang Hyung-Jae, and next to me is the familiar face, commentator Kang Sung-Hoon.”

“A familiar face… I guess I am.”

“The reason why I used the expression ‘familiar face’ is that some of you may have heard the news in advance, but we have a very special guest commentator today.”

“Hello, this is streamer Mollru.”

Waaaah-!

A huge roar, which had not been heard when Bang Hyung-Jae and Kang Sung-Hoon introduced themselves, instantly filled the stadium.

“Wow… I expected it, but it’s a really great enthusiasm. Don’t you think so? Commentator Kang Sung-Hoon.”

“It’s understandable. Mollru, who came out today, is the prettiest of the guest commentators who have come out so far.”

“I hope everyone remembers that all the guest commentators so far have been men.”

The screen is being broadcast live to various broadcasting platforms that have acquired the broadcasting rights, as well as on site.

People were listing their reactions to the newly appeared new face.

?? Is she an announcer? Who is that person

She’s a streamer ㅋㅋ Are your ears blocked?

You don’t know Mollru? She’s the one who wiped out the entire league

Nuna… Heueung…

So f*cking pretty ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She’s celebrity-level

Is she a cam girl?

You don’t know Mollru, the Switch Emperor?

Just Moll—-Hwang

Her body is also amazing;

ㄴㄴ Challenger 15th

?

No ㅋㅋ Challenger 15th with that face? What are the pros doing?

It’s a 빈집 now, but it’s still high ㅋㅋㅋ

She’ll be better at watching the game than Joon-Goo, who came out last time as a former pro

Overall, positive reviews.

The AoW League official broadcast is famous for its dirty chat window.

People who are serious about the game, people who just watch because they have nothing to do, people who are angry for no reason, etc.

The scale itself is huge, so it is impossible to sanction as strictly as in other broadcasters’ rooms.

If you don’t like the appearance, you attack the appearance, if you don’t like the remarks, you attack the remarks, if you don’t like the skills, you attack the skills.

Mollru has achieved a great feat of being recognized in a room where she is torn apart for various reasons.

Only call guest commentator Mollru from now on ㅇㅇ I won’t say much

Ah ㅋㅋ It’s fun to watch the broadcast

Nuna, say something!

“Guest commentator Mollru is Challenger 15th in AoW, so she must have met a lot of the players who are preparing for the game in ranked games. Was there any player that you remember separately?”

“Hmm… I remember YDE’s Jin-Seok and S#3’s Min-Soo. When I met both of them as a team, the game was generally easy.”

“I see, wow. Each team has a powerhouse recognized by Mollru! I have this feeling. We can watch the game more interestingly.”

The men recognized by Mollru ㄷㄷ

So rewarding;

I should have become a pro gamer

This might be a bit envious;;

Wow, now you’re even milking the gravy in the official broadcast

Mollru’s commentary debut was successfully achieved, earning her the title of Workshop goddess.
