[ Finding Cup ]

“Hmm.”

It was a proposal for a competition called the Finding Cup.

There’s a big streamer named ‘Fine’ who dominates Twice, and it was a competition hosted by him.

‘It’s okay.’

I checked the date and reason for the Finding Cup, and it was a pretty good tournament for me.

First of all, the competition is basically held as a 1-on-1 game, not a 5-on-5 game.

And by randomly selecting champions.

For someone like me who specializes in playing games by randomly selecting champions, there has never been a better opportunity than this.

‘The picks are random, there’s no need to think about your teammates, and the prize money is good…’

There was no reason not to do it.

The prize money was a whopping ten million won.

If you participate just to kill time and win, wouldn’t that be a huge gain?

It also helps with living expenses.

“I guess I should try it.”

By the way, if someone like me gets an invitation like this, it seems like they’re inviting a lot of different streamers.

It’s very common for streamers to have around 200 viewers.

With that thought in mind, I began to read the rules carefully.

[ Finding Cup ]

1. You must not be late to the competition. If you are even slightly late, your participation will be forfeited.

2. No complaints about the picks. They are completely random and cannot be manipulated.

3. Participants must prove that they are the person playing the game.

“The third clause is a bit annoying.”

Third clause.

You must prove your identity.

Maybe I should reveal my face for that.

‘..I don’t want to reveal it to the viewers.’

I don’t want it to be known to the viewers, but I would understand if it was disclosed to the relevant parties for identification purposes.

Who likes to sell their face?

That’s why I wrote an email right then and there.

[ My name is Tama (aka Dugong) and I have been offered the ‘Finding Cup’ broadcast on Twiss. The thing is, to compete in the Finding Cup, I need to prove my identity, but since I am broadcasting without revealing my face, is there a way to prove my identity? ]

forwarding.

Woof-.

While the email was being sent, I was lost in thought for a moment.

“I think there are a lot of people like me.”

There are all kinds of people on Twice, so there are even people who broadcast without showing their faces.

So it seems like there might be countermeasures prepared for those people.

I wonder what will happen.

At that time, I was worrying.

Tiring-!

A new email has arrived.

I immediately clicked on the email and checked the contents.

[ I have checked the email you sent. The Finding Cup is not a competition held by a game company, so we do not have to make it strict. However, since identification is an unavoidable element, you can record it separately so that it does not appear on the broadcast and send it to us, or ask a streamer you are acquainted with to vouch for it. Then, goodbye. ]

That’s how the email ended.

So what this means is-

“Guarantee… ”

This means that you should talk to a famous streamer you know and ask them to vouch for you.

At that time, I was thinking that since I didn’t feel like it, I might as well record a video and send it to you.

Tiring-!

The cell phone that had been left on the corner of the desk vibrated.

Looks like a text message has arrived.

I picked up my phone and checked the text message I just received.

[Jeong Gyul-woo: Yaya]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: Did you get the Finding Cup email?]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: I was just watching the broadcast, and Mang-ming came too.]

“..I guess it was sent all at once.”

It would be easier to work that way.

I replied with that thought in mind.

[Me: Yeah]

[Me: I came but this]

[Me: I heard that I need to get a guarantee from a streamer nearby or install a separate cam to prove that I am you]

It was a text sent without much thought.

But after a while.

[Jeong Gyul-woo: I got the guarantee]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: I think it would be okay to just send a message saying that you are participating? They already sent me an email guaranteeing it.]

“Eng.”

[Me: No]

[Me: I never asked for that]

[Me:Why then]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: Didn’t you ask me to do it?]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: She said it herself]

hmm.

There is certainly some truth to that.

Because I definitely brought it up.

From Jeong Gyul-woo’s perspective, it would feel like – ‘I feel burdened to talk, so you, as the manager, should speak instead.’

[Me: Oh, I see

[Me: Sorry I misunderstood]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: Anyway, hurry up and apply.]

[Jeong Gyul-woo: I have received the guarantee]

[Me: Who guaranteed it?]

[Jeong Gyeo-ul: The person who vouched for me asked me to keep it a secret?]

[me:?]

[Me: Okay for now]

We can always find out who gave the guarantee later.

If you search the community, you will find information about it.

It means that there is no need to pressure Jeong Gyeo-ul and find out right now.

I sent the email with that thought in mind.

[ I heard that someone vouched for me, and although I don’t know the details, I’m applying for the contest because I thought the information would have already been delivered. ]

And after a while.

[Your application has been submitted. We will inform you of the detailed schedule later.]

The application was actually accepted.

It’s so easy to apply.

‘I’ll have to look up who it is after the broadcast ends.’

Even if you search for it now, it won’t come up well.

With that thought in mind, I prepared to turn on the broadcast.

After fiddling around with my computer settings a bit like I saw on the Internet last time, I was ready to start broadcasting.

And after a while.

[The broadcast has started!]

The broadcast began with a notification that the broadcast had begun.

Then, viewers started coming in.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: The man invited to the ‘Finding Cup’ enters.]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Welcome everyone]

[chchchchchchchchchchchchchchchch]

[Finding Cup Invitation chchchchchchch]

[Not anything else, just a finding cup]

[Finding Cup What cup is it in soccer terms? League? Champions?]

[It’s the Audi Cup]

[omg]

[Hey hey]

[stop..]

“What, the rumor has already spread.”

It seems like Cthulhu is the one who started the rumor.

Otherwise, the rumor wouldn’t have spread so quickly.

[The talents produced by Pgal are all great]

nYou have been temporarily dismissed!

[Hemp]

[I’ve been watching since I had 190 viewers, but I really didn’t know it would grow this much]

[Didn’t I just see it yesterday?]

[Originally, the time is divided into daily order, so yeah..]

“So I’m participating in the Founding Cup this time. Are there any streamers who have officially announced that they’re participating? I’d like to know the list.”

I wanted to know which streamers were participating.

Of course, even if you listen, you probably won’t understand it properly, but it’s better to listen than not to listen.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: First, join Harin]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Sarok, Mangming, etc. are participating]

[Wow, this is really a war of stars]

[Star (Red Giant)]

[Anyway, it’s shining, let’s have a drink]

[It’s destined to burn like fire and then disappear]

A lot of people are participating.

This makes the competition a little more intense.

At that time, I was thinking that it would be good to resign voluntarily as soon as possible.

[Oh, who is that? I heard Rimaldo is participating too.]

I got some interesting information.

Not another streamer, but Rimaldorani.

“Remaldo? The same Rimaldo that I used to play in the past?”

That’s why I asked again.

Then-

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Oh right, Rimaldo is also participating]

[🗡️Cthulhu the Omnipotent: I thought he was dead, but he’s alive]

[Big horse]

[Rimaldo is a god now lol]

[Long time no see, that name is real]

[Isn’t that guy a one-tool strategy game?]

[If you look at it, LeoRedo is a strategy game]

By the way, it was amazing.

Rimaldo doesn’t really do Leore, but he’s participating.

Is there something going on?

‘I can look it up later.’

I guess I could look up the story about Rimaldo later.

Anyway, the places where we could talk about Rimaldo were limited.

With that in mind, I’ve roughly summarized the participants appearing in this year’s Pounding Cup.

Then-

“So about 50 people?”

The number came out to be 50 people.

I didn’t know there would be this many.

Of course, I expected there to be a lot of participants because the prize money was high, but I didn’t expect there to be this many.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: There are a lot of them]

[There may be some people who just participated to raise awareness]

[Most of the participants are at least Leore Diamond level, lol]

[Rimaldo is a bit of a special case]

[Hwanhee: What’s even more surprising is that there are still people who haven’t seen this email…]

I wonder how many people will ultimately participate.

I started playing the game again today with the expectation in mind.

“I have to go to Diamond 3 today.”

Shouldn’t we at least make it so that viewers don’t feel ashamed of the tier of the streamers they watch?

With that determination, I turned the cue.

I was thinking that I should try practicing the finding cup.
