Bban Ye's Brother and Rookie Take Over the National Team Stream
└The uniform event suddenly adding Lucas Cruydt screams yes
└But you could just ask a teammate for some signatures, right?
└She's straight-up calling Ban Yeager "Rookie," who else could it be?
└lolololololololololololololololol
└He's dual UK/Korea citizen from the start, right?
└So he could play for the Korean national team??
└He'd have to ditch England NT, but would you wanna play under Hong Young-bo? lolol
└Yeah dual citizen makes sense, but his Korean is insanely fluent whoa. He must've lived in the UK forever
└Ban Yeager joined Man U and they've been chatting in Korean since. The 13-year-old duo
└"Ahem, this is Ban Ye and Rookie."
└Wtf does that mean, weeb? lololol We only know Ban Yeager and Lucas Cruydt!
└All the male Vtubers who collabed with Bban Ye to grow got cut! lololol
└There were guys like that???
└Bban Ye ignored them hard so they faded, but yeah they popped up in chat sometimes lol
└Straw-grabbers are legends fr;;
With Bban Ye's "real brother" identity 99% confirmed as Ban Yeager, it was only natural for viewers to predict his friend was also a Manchester United footballer.
In that context, the stream kicked off with an announcement of a new event prize: a signed Lucas Cruydt jersey added to the lineup.
Plus, when introducing the match lineup, the "brother's friend" referred to himself as "Rookie" in slightly awkward Korean.
"Rookie" was the affectionate nickname Ban Yeager and his Manchester United teammates used for Lucas Cruydt, so familiar that they stuck with it on stream.
Ban Yerin's little time with Lucas Cruydt during preseason in Korea made it smooth for the siblings to broadcast together without awkwardness.
Thus, amid South Korea's dismal national team performance and the smash-hit mouth commentary from Bban Ye, Ban Ye, and Rookie, halftime arrived.
During those 15 minutes while the players prepped for the second half, Bban Ye's stream had more content lined up.
- Bban Ye's first ad incomingggg

- Yeah, after snagging Ban Yeager and Lucas Cruydt, she gotta milk it

The stream started for South Korea vs Canada, but most viewers were too busy spamming chat hoping Ban Yeager or Lucas Cruydt would read theirs to watch the match.
After the game ended, those who watched all 90 minutes envied the ones who didn't.
Shouldn't have watched, just pissed me off ffs;; Shoulda just chatted on Bban Ye's stream lololol... Sigh...
└Ffs does spamming chat boost odds?
└Nah lolol probably just picks from unique IDs
└So jealous;; And it's signed by players
└Dude Lucas Cruydt might be rarer cuz no one wants him go go
└Nah wrong lolol Ban Yeager all the way!!!
└Man U vs Birmingham, any Ban Ye or Rookie starters?
└lolololololol Rookie still injured so just Ban Ye
└Yeah Galaxy ad too lolol They're promo models and Man U sponsors
└Man U Korea visit in a few years fr ffs lolololololololol
└O-Seong working overtime fr
Unlike the South Korean national team's friendlies, Bban Ye's stream wrapped up triumphantly.
Its buzz drew in crowds who skipped NT games and weren't even Man U fans.
Of course, pumped by news of Ban Yeager and Lucas Cruydt appearing, but before the hype died, Manchester United vs Birmingham City kicked off.
Well-rested from NT break, Ban Yeager headlined the starting XI, carrying the excitement from new Man U fans and Bban Ye fans hooked by her "brother."
