Chapter Title: Jeon Jeonseol Teardown Analysis Room
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm checking the emails myself.
It'd be great if only proper business emails came, true to the name.
But weird ones keep flooding in at a way higher rate than actual business stuff.
Like, "I'm in such a dire situation—if you just help me out once, I swear I won't forget the favor."
They're not asking for money, just viewers. Bowing their heads with pleas like "Please save me this one time," begging for a host slot or a collab stream.
Or essays lecturing me on what's wrong with my broadcast and how to fix it.
Even cyber terrorism in the form of attaching ribbons to pics of their own worms and sending them over.
...Why the hell do they add ribbons?
Those don't scare me.
The broadcast advice crap annoys me way more.
Men who could actually lay hands on me? Terrifying. But weirdos on the other side of the monitor? Just mildly gross.
Once I filter out those landmines, the real business emails I need to read are tucked away in the gaps.
Even collab requests carry different vibes depending on who's sending them.
If it's desperate pleas from fans trying to leech off my fame for a popularity boost, a solid offer from a big corporation hits different—like a genuine win-win.
One name caught my eye amid the pile.
Someone I'd crossed paths with a few times in ranked games.
When I go live and play, viewers spam explanations about who's who and their deal, so it doesn't matter if stream names differ from in-game nicks.
'Once'—a corporate streamer in the top 10 of Challenger rankings, pulling nearly 20,000 viewers. Same platform as me. In the streaming world, that makes us coworkers, right?
But I had zero plans for a collab anytime soon.
Unless Wild calls in that favor from last time, I doubt any pro gamer would hit me up.
Streaming with strangers just doesn't mesh with my personality.
Probably won't happen until I feel like my channel desperately needs some fresh energy or a vibe shake-up.
Maybe never.
So, regretfully, my answer was a no.
Replying to every single email is impossible.
I expressed my refusal by straight-up ignoring Once's "master's seat" invite.
Then the second email landed.
This time, it was an ask to appear in some lecture content.
Ignoring it twice in a row started feeling kinda off.
But replying one by one would never end.
The third email that followed? Total curveball I never saw coming.
Didn't need to go live—just teach him Teamfight Arena.
Since I never accept friend requests in-game, email was the only option.
Like some wuxia novel ronin getting begged by a wanderer to teach him the sword. Bowing deep on first meet.
Email-style, anyway.
'Teaching the game isn't that hard.'
I pondered it here.
Whatever he wanted to learn, it was just a game—nothing I couldn't teach.
If the disciple doesn't get it, that's not on me, right?
But I'm in the middle of my #1 climb.
That has to wrap first.
So I politely dodged, saying I'd think about it after the #1 run ended.
Then the fourth email dropped.
Even Yu Bei made three visits for Zhuge Liang—this guy's on visit four.
Email-style, still.
The fourth was asking if he could do analysis content on stream.
Like, could he analyze my ranked games live?
Analysis? What the hell did that even mean?
Curiosity piqued, I shot back a permission reply.
What was this guy really up to?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Three guys planted side by side in front of their computers.
Their jacked upper bodies made cramming into one camera frame a real squeeze.
Fun visual for a game stream—chat was buzzing right from the jump.

"This the gym gallery meetup, right?"
<Straight to 3-rep sets> <Why sit and lose gains? Do air chairs> <Which muscle group we destroying today?>

"What analysis from three strength mains? Need brainiacs for that."
<3rep squad? (how many reps y'all hit)> <Bring the plates!> <Three wild boars lined up> <This really game stream visuals?> <Fight club content?> <Who's the guest?>
To clue in the clueless viewers, host Once introduced the guests.
"This is Vulcan, X6 coach. And this is Scraper, X6 player."
"Hello. Vulcan here."
"Hello. Scraper here."
<Pro player + coach booking ㄷㄷ> <Connections OP> <No Victory booking?>

"Three met at the gym? School lunch vibes."
"Didn't meet at the gym. Coach and I climbed ranks together in Season 1. Talked games a ton."
After some light banter, Once revealed the collab's true purpose.
"This collab's goal is Jeon Jeonseol Teardown Analysis Room. Diving into the win-rate secrets of rank supernova Jeon Jeonseol. Got her permission."
<Collab?> <Voice chat incoming ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ> <Hype train> <Jeon Jeonseol joins = genre shift> <Civilian washed up on gym island> <Gym a deserted island now?> <Or beast tamer + three bears>
"Sadly, no collab. Just analysis permission."

"Phew, my heart's unicorn almost turned black into a bihorn lol."
<Worried for Once's purity, right?> <Obviously lol> <Who is Jeon Jeonseol anyway> <Not giving Once to anyone> <Once gyms with us forever!>
The chat buzzed with nonsense like "Not giving Once away to anyone," despite no one actually thinking that.
In that chill vibe, the real analysis kicked off.
"Most memorable recent game. Check it—enemy racks up four kills early. Not a trade; pure stomp. How'd she turn it around? Tons to learn from her macro."
A god-tier player had emerged in the scene.
I'd watched her replays to steal her tricks.
Yet folks slapped endless fanfic onto a two-line summary.
All because the two players were different genders?
"Don't be rude to Jeon Jeonseol—no forced narratives."

"You're the obsessed one here, you freak lol."
"Banning this guy."
<Paid ban lol> <Why Koreans so obsessed with shipping?> <Romance nation ㄷㄷ>
"Focus on the gameplay."
It was a game where Jeon Jeonseol's favorite—and signature—Illusionist got banned.
A culture had formed: no Jeon Jeonseol on your team? Ban Illusionist first. Her pick was getting rare in solo queue.
But soon enough, everyone would realize.
Jeon Jeonseol wasn't some disaster you could ban away with one or two picks.
Anyway, her champ this game: Wolf Rider.
Not pure DPS or tank—a bruiser with killer mobility, obvious from the wolf mount.
No Illusionist-level burst, though.
How'd she play it?
The muscle trio at the analysis desk started combing through the replay slow and steady.
X6 coach Vulcan let out an admiring whistle.
"Damn, nuts. Why not go pro?"
X6 player Scraper felt the same.
"Plays too clean. Regressor or something?"
"Regress just to win one game?"
"Moves like she sees the future, though."
Agreed. Once nodded hard.
Her playstyle didn't feel like it shared the same timeline as mere mortals.
