Chat Autopsy and Overwatch Collab
Oh. I was so shocked. A whole bunch of insults came flooding in… I was genuinely startled. Really… it was scary. Suddenly, bam! The curses surged up… I got chills. These people are terrifying. I was so surprised my spine went cold.
“Uh… um…” I couldn’t even speak properly. The sense of betrayal was no joke. Were these the same people? Wow… I really have no words. Can a person flip 180 degrees like that? Seriously.
“Wow…”
“They really don’t bite?” These people… they just tried to bite me. They barked so viciously… they barked!!
“You were growling at me.” You were literally growling just now. You charged at me like you wanted to bite. You even raised your tail and glared. The chat did that just now. Did you think I wouldn’t notice?
“No!!” They’re starting up again over one slip of the tongue. These terrifying people… I’m sweating bullets down my back right now. They’re enjoying this, aren’t they?
“You made it so scary and now… right now…” I have no words. It feels like I stepped outside in minus-ten-degree winter and came back in. My mouth is frozen, just mumbling… But these devils don’t miss a beat.
“No… what did you say? Sir.” That one actually scratched me. What? The kitchen? I… didn’t go to the kitchen. It’s because you guys made things hard for me. This person. Seriously. I’ve had enough… I’m getting scared too!!
“Because I’m a girl… kitchen? What is this?” I immediately started the autopsy. Wow… this is too much. Someone with +999 chat messages is typing this? I was so hurt I read every single chat one by one.
“Is this person about to possess the game?? They’re just staring at the minimap? Hehe…” Are they messing with me right now? Right? Let’s see one more.
“This person would’ve been an ace if they went to the military, they know the map so well kiki ki.” What’s map knowledge? I’m a public service veteran too… I don’t know… Ugh… It hurts my pride, but I checked. The way to understand by looking at the map… Got it. They’re totally messing with me.
“You’re messing with me, right? Right? Say it.” I really can’t believe this. Did you think I wouldn’t notice this much? Hey!! Speak up, you criminal!!
“Answer me right now!”
“No…” Why is the apology so fast? It’s really annoying. Now I look like the bad guy. Like I’m bullying an innocent viewer. Are they really going to keep this up? Wow, how can they be so annoying? I was genuinely speechless. Should I let it slide or not?
“Are you really sorry? How sorry? Tell me once.”
“How is this guy still not banned…” Reading good chats is also a streamer’s skill. I picked the best chat in this situation. Think about it. I can’t read the insults, right?
“Send him…” I scrolled up and autopsied the chat history in more detail. If there was a viewer using bad language, I was ready to catch them on something and ban them… But this viewer was a psychopath who only did roasting and praising. Like a crazy person who thinks anything that isn’t praise is evil. When praising, they hit exactly what I want, showering me with compliments… but when roasting, they do it in the most annoying way possible. This kind of viewer… I ran both hands through my hair. This is dizzying. I never expected this kind of trial. I have to play with Moteok soon. Phew… Ugh, just this once. I can’t get distracted by this nonsense right now.
“Sir… you’re lucky… I’ll let it slide. Next time, chat prettily.” Right now, having fun playing with Moteok is the priority. If it had been that chat, I might’ve really agonized and banned them. But this guy’s lucky.
“Hoo… lucky. If it wasn’t for the collab… I would’ve kept autopsying.” There shouldn’t be a single victim. That’s my caution. That’s why bans have to be done carefully. Only for people who really deserve it. That was my belief.
“Let’s do the collab first.” I connected to Discord. Moteok-nim hadn’t joined yet. Yes…! I’m first this time. I entered the room first and waited. After about three minutes, Moteok-nim joined.
“Ah~ Sorry. My game ended late. Ah, I could’ve come earlier. How long did you wait?”
“I just got here too.”
“Thank goodness. Thank goodness. Shall we start right away? What character are you playing, Sena-nim?”
“I’m playing Ena.” The character that shoots cannons was named Ena. When I said Ena, Moteok-nim asked hesitantly.
“Ah… anything else?”
“I’m an Ena one-trick.”
“Uh… Aha! You’re not thinking of playing anything else?”
“No.”
“Heh heh heh…” I scratched my forehead and said, “One-track life. I’ll show you everything I’ve learned.”
“Oh! Where’s that confidence coming from! Ready to go?”
“Go go.” I confidently picked Ena. And so we played Overwatch together for over four hours. Sometimes when someone took Ena, I dodged and queued again. We did randoms, got sniped, all sorts of things happened. After the last game ended… Moteok-nim spoke first.
“That was fun… Good work, Sena-nim.” Fun, huh… It probably wasn’t, right? Honestly, I didn’t have fun…?
Will the win rate go over 20%? Probably not. We just kept losing. We lost very helplessly. The frontline couldn’t hold and kept getting pushed, so we couldn’t even fight properly. The one who shouted “one-track life” ended up equipping a healer. And still lost. So I went back to Ena. But lost again. Kept losing. Then after getting carried once, we won. Very reluctantly… So Moteok-nim cursed. “F*cking bastards.” Moteok-nim seems to have strong gamer pride too… But… honestly, I was happy we won. I was happy we got carried… Of course, since Moteok-nim was cursing, I stayed quiet. Then, really luckily, we won one more. And after three straight losses, four hours had passed. That’s the summary of today’s 13 games.
“Um… Yep. Good work!”
“Yeees…” Moteok-nim must’ve been tired and left right away. It made sense she was tired. She was giving orders… I didn’t say a word. On the contrary, I still had energy left.
“I… I’m not leaving yet. I’ve still got tons of energy!” I immediately queued up. I have to practice. Practice is the only way. The tournament is coming soon… If I want to show a cool side, I have to practice every day. That’s the only way… Right?
A week and three more days passed. Of course, the tournament schedule was announced. I didn’t expect it to happen this fast. It felt like it started right after I was scouted? They must’ve prepared, right? I had my doubts. Anyway, today we’re doing something called an evaluation match. I’ve never done it before so I don’t know… From what I heard, it’s where everyone who can gather gets together and does a “knock down” to lower expectations… Anyway, I’m participating too. But the really vicious part is that there are tiers from A to F, and F-tier is the team leader… who picks A-tier players by draft. So I’m F-tier. I have to pick one of the A-tiers. I’ve been given this heavy responsibility. Rumor has it… I’m the most avoided F-tier. Well, that makes sense. I’m a one-trick… I’m used to it. Being the odd one out is familiar. But… more than that.
“Oof… this is gonna be hard to get into, isn’t it?” There were so many people in the voice channel. It’s suffocating trying to join. Thirteen people in room 1 is way too many. Whoa… this really won’t work. I frantically went to room 2… a room with four people… but they might be friends, so I escaped to room 3 with one person. In this room, someone named Rupik had their mic and voice turned off.
“Rupik? Guys. Rupik-nim… who was that?” Rupik? I’ve heard that name a lot somewhere. What was it? It feels like it’s on the tip of my tongue. I think I’ve seen it somewhere. Is it my imagination?
“Ah!! That’s right!” Right. Right. I remembered. Were they on our side? That… no. That person was Kosu-nim…
“I forgot.” Suddenly I can’t remember. The problem is I’m bad at remembering people.
“What? Hi.” I was startled by the sudden voice.
“It’s Geunja. Geunja.” Oops. I accidentally said Geunja.
“Oh~ It’s Koja, Koja. Why’d you come, sir?”
“Weren’t you underwater? If you were, this seat would’ve been mine.”
“I wasn’t underwater. This is my room.”
“Sorry… It was your seat…” I coolly left and entered room 4. I didn’t know there was an owner. I thought it was an empty loner room since no one was there. I had no bad intentions. When I went to room 4, Rupik-nim followed.
“No, if you leave like that, I’ll look like the weird one.”
“Huh? Why? I just changed channels because it was your seat.” They suddenly came and said something strange.
“Ah, right. But Sena-nim. You’re the Ena one-trick, right? The rumors are everywhere.” Me? There are rumors? Hehe. Nice?
“Rupik-nim, hehe. What rank are you among the A-tiers? Hehe.”
“Me? I’m probably last place.”
“Oho… Same situation as me?”
“If we get matched, we’ll get destroyed, so let’s stay away?”
“Got it… This is my room, so Rupik-nim has to leave. Seat.” This is my seat. I claimed room 4. You go to room 3.
“I’m gonna force overlap.”
“What?”
“Report me. Water ball.”
“No…” Wow… what’s with this person? So shameless? Then I have no choice.
“Yep…!” I have to do a battle of wills. I have no choice but to do a battle of wills. I’m not good at it, but when I have to, I have to. If I keep yielding, it was obvious they’d keep taking it. Before starting the battle of wills, I muted Rupik-nim like blocking whispers. Then—
Suddenly the crying angels. What? Why? I really don’t know. Anyway, I started the battle of wills. About ten minutes passed? The operator came and sent me to room 1. In a daze, all the participants gathered. They were forming teams and asked if I wanted to participate, so I said yes. After doing two games and waiting one, my evaluation was almost confirmed.
“Sena-nim. I’m the worst among the A-tiers. Really, I’m the worst.” One of the A-tiers said. Then the A-tier next to them also claimed they were the worst. Am I that bad? Am I that avoided? They’re trying so hard to stay away from me. This is too much. If they keep this up, I’ll turn dark? Even if I’m bad, they should say “you’re good~ you’re good~” so I get motivated. Wanna die together?
“I-I’ll pick the person who doesn’t compliment me.” I dropped this bombshell in room 1. After that, the A-tiers complimented me so much that I played happily. I’m serious. I’m going to pick the person who complimented me the least. Among the current A-tiers, who didn’t compliment me? Rupik. This person hasn’t complimented me from the start? Ah! Right! I had them muted. I forgot. When I unmuted Rupik-nim, they spoke like a robot.
“The. Great. Se. Na. Has. Gone. Crazy. This. Is. Ruined.” They’re doing this in the waiting room? We’re in the middle of a game, sir. You’re watching another team’s scrim, aren’t you? Is this a compliment? No, you’re roasting me! Hmph, I’ve grown a lot too, so I can tell the difference between compliments and roasts. Not all of them, but the easy ones. Hehe. If that’s how you’re gonna be, I have no choice either. I’ll pick you tomorrow and make sure you don’t win? Compliment me sincerely even now. It’s not like only the best get attention! Even a bottom-feeder like me can get attention, right? Hehe. Nice? Ack! What if I end up doing well? I’ll get all the attention, right? Hehe. Good. I like it. I’ll practice more and show you! I hope tomorrow comes quickly.
“The. Great. Se. Na. Is. Here? This. Angle?” Even though I’m F-tier, I kept getting nonstop “you’re the best, you’re the best” compliments from A-tiers for five games straight, and before I knew it, I got excited. Hehe. Look forward to the real Sena. The Sena who practiced intensely for ten days and will practice even more. The cheetah runs. Even if Sena was bad at FPS, this game is different. Click, click—I’ll turn everyone into mush with cannon fire. Cheetah, or maybe lion or tiger Sena is coming. Wait for me, herbivores and lowly carnivores! Mwahahahaha!
