Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 105
37. Bubble gum (1)
“You’re a streamer, not a pro gamer. You need to make that clear first.”
That’s the first thing Joo-hyuk said at the meeting.
Of course, this is also the dilemma that talented streamers most often face.
Because they are entities that generate revenue at a certain level between professional gamers and streamers.
Even if you go to the talented group, communication with viewers is clearly important, and in fact, that is almost the main content. Viewers may feel that they are watching to see skill, but according to Joo-hyuk’s analysis, this is not the case.
The reason they watch the broadcast is actually because they like the streamer. In other words, they like him.
Gaming skills only lower the barrier to entry for that favor. Ultimately, being a streamer is a profession that competes on charm.
So, skilled streamers should not be satisfied with just being good at games, but should also pay attention to attractive elements such as communication with viewers and the fun of broadcasting.
You have to attract them with your skills and keep them with your charm.
“So, after achieving a certain level of achievement, it is important to focus on viewer communication rather than focusing on achievement. “It is also important to change the game at the right time.”
According to Joohyuk’s analysis, the streamers with the most stable income are ‘general game streamers’.
Just like bubble gum and acorn jelly, you play various games in turns.
Sanghyeon also accepted this and fully understood it.
Although he is a natural sportsman who loves competition, broadcasting has become a more precious part of his life, so after DIA, he has been ‘enjoying games’ as advised.
‘… … what.’
But my rank while playing the game was strange.
Before you know it, it is a promotion battle from Diamond Tier 5 to Diamond Tier 4.
‘Are you really going to go to Master?’
I thought I could go to master’s level.
But thinking back on what I had talked about with Joo-hyuk, it wasn’t a good choice.
“Today’s broadcast will end here. Tva!”
Fortunately, it was time for self-indulgence, and Almond’s broadcast ended without a promotion match.
-Wow, what is it, Master isn’t going!?
-Master, go!
-Ah ㅠㅠ
-Tba ㅠㅠ
-Abba ㅠㅠ
-Isn’t Almond Master going!? Aren’t you going to Almond Master!? Aren’t you going to Almond Master!? Aren’t you going to Almond Master!?
ping.
[Streaming has ended.]
After confirming the familiar message, the almond came out of the capsule.
Chi profit──
The lid is open and the almonds are drenched in sweat as usual.
“It was fine during the promotion match, but here we go again.”
Joo-hyuk, who was watching, says something.
“Ah… … It’s back to normal.”
Sanghyun also nodded after seeing his physical condition.
When I was fighting for promotion, I felt like I was boiling with an unknown power, but now I felt like a limp seaweed.
“Anyway, even if you play the game for fun, how can you come in first place?”
Joohyuk laughed heartily.
“That’s strange.”
“huh?”
Joo-hyuk was surprised when Almond, who had thought he would cheekily reply, ‘Because he’s a genius,’ suddenly said he was seriously strange.
“What’s strange?”
“Why does the game seem to have gotten easier?”
“Easier… …?”
Judging from his expression, he didn’t seem to be acting cocky, but rather seemed embarrassed because things had gotten easier.
“Uh. Something… … The physical strength of each player is definitely higher. But somehow the game itself is a bit easier.”
“hmm…….”
Joohyuk thought about it for a moment, then sat down in front of the computer.
And then, try searching the community using keywords like almond and sniper.
‘does not exist.’
Even after washing my eyes, there was no post recruiting sniper pods.
Why?
First of all, Almond has already broken the electromagnetic wave record, so the evil fans of electromagnetic waves no longer have a reason to snipe… … .
‘It’s because of MMR.’
This is because Almond’s current MMR value is too high.
You are queued with a master, and most masters are well-known streamers or professional gamers. Or a trainee preparing to become a professional.
There’s no way they’d snipe in a way that would make them look bad. If it became an issue, their future would be ruined.
As the cue moved to the top, it became a ‘clean game’.
Almond, who had to deal with numerous snipers all the time, felt that this game was easier.
“Hey. I think it’s because there’s no sniper.”
Joo Hyuk explained the situation to Almond.
“Wow… … Is that the extent of the difference?”
Heh heh. Almond laughed in vain.
Wasn’t it like you were playing a game with a few sandbags hanging on you?

“Anyway, I’m going to wash up.”
Almond headed to the bathroom, peeling off the sweaty t-shirt that was sticking to his body with his fingers.
Joohyuk checked the reactions while he was in the community.
* * *
[Is it true that I just played Almond and got through the Diamond Tier 5 section?]
[Wow, haha, it looks like you actually got better at Diamond-Master Q?]
[The number of snipers has greatly decreased now, so I guess I can’t do sniping.]
[Almond without a sniper… … This is strong.]
Most of the content was that Almond’s fun game was stronger than expected.
Some people realized that it was because of the absence of a sniper.
‘The firepower isn’t as strong as I thought.’
However, compared to the promotion match, there weren’t many mentions of almonds.
Other streamers were also eating up the issue posts.
1st place) Miho’s pictorial is out ㄷㄷㄷ
A post featuring still cuts from a pictorial by a streamer named Miho ranked first.
2nd place) Today’s bubble gum lol explosion
3rd) Bubble gum hell drive lol
.
.
.
7th) Collection of 5 bubble gum explosions haha
There were quite a few articles related to bubble gum in the rankings. The fact that Battle Raj had started again became a hot topic and seemed to be mentioned a lot.
As expected, it is a huge company with an average live viewership of 50,000, so it has strong firepower.
However, there was only one issue article about almonds.
10th) This guy is the only ultimate weapon I’ve ever seen that can kill Almond.
The article had this title.
I thought it would be something like a meme from the heyday of electromagnetic waves.
==== ====
That’s Duo’s bubble gum!
tomorrow!
Almond VS Bubble Gum!
Broadcasting Genius VS Gaming Genius!
A union of generations!
See! Start! Do! It!
==== ====
Along with this caption, a photo of Bubblegum holding a toy gun and aiming it was posted.
It was a photo that was not threatening at all.
‘I can’t believe that a person holding a gun and aiming can look so funny.’
Joo Hyuk was once again impressed by Bubble Gum’s ‘talent’.
It was truly a talent completely different from Almond’s.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋReally
-Oh, if it’s a bubble gum duo, it’s possible.
-LOL Why is everything VS ㅅㅂ LOL?
-We’re on the same team as Bubble Gum, but it’s funny how they’re competing against each other haha.
-No, you fooled me! It was an advertisement!?
-Wow, I destroyed all the diamonds while playing the Almond Shack game today. I thought he was crazy.
└ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Next to the DIA promotion match, it was amazing.
└Rather, it’s because of the snipers that Pla and Diamond Q were Hell ㅠㅠ
└Because I got the master cue, I was able to demonstrate my skills properly.
widely.
After seeing this, Joo Hyuk turned off the screen.
‘Certainly a large company is a large company.’
As soon as Bubblegum started Battle Large again, the community opinion was completely turned.
The slope became even steeper after the electronic record-breaking event, which was a particularly large-scale content, ended.
In fact, Almond’s broadcast, which barely exceeded 10,000 viewers when it was a special content, was not comparable to Bubble Gum, which averaged 50,000 viewers.
Perhaps, if Almond hadn’t prepared the content to merge with Bubble Gum this time, it would have been buried under the issues of large corporations.
‘I barely survived.’
This isn’t some kind of survival game, but it really is a moment where you can’t help but say, ‘I barely survived.’
I knew this industry would get more competitive the higher I went, but I didn’t think it would get to this level.
Joohyuk was feeling it.
Although it was very subtle, Baera 31’s interest in almonds was declining.
At least it wasn’t rising.
If you keep watching the same thing, it loses its initial freshness. It wasn’t anything serious.
It’s the same with any celebrity. Even politicians, if you see them too much, you get tired of them, and after the moment of popularity, only decline awaits them.
The skill lies in continuing to maintain it or making another change to make it popular once more.
Anyway, from here on out, it’s a battle of true skills.
‘Is now the right time…? … .’
Click.
Joohyuk clicked on a file with the mouse.
Here’s a list of what games you might want to play next.
Next to it, there was data analyzing the main viewer base, size, gender, and preferred time zone.
Among them, Sanghyun picked only three games.
“hmm.”
After putting those three up, Joohyuk thought for a moment.
‘Is there any way to transition this naturally?’
* * *
Sang-Hyeon had been inside the capsule 30 minutes before the appointed time.
“Phew.”
No matter how he was, he seemed nervous about meeting bubblegum.
In fact, we’re not even really meeting.
We will meet in the virtual space ‘This World’.
‘Bubble gum.’
Still, what makes Almond tremble is probably because he really liked the streamer named Bubblegum.
Because the presence of that streamer was truly comforting.
[Connecting to This World.]
[All avatars in This World are basically real, based on body code.]
[If you refuse, please terminate in advance.]
A warning that wasn’t really a warning from This World came to mind.
Sang-Hyeon naturally pressed ‘Yes’.
Phew──
Then, in an instant, the scenery around him changed, and Sang-Hyeon’s body was sucked into somewhere.
[Please choose clothes.]
The avatar, which looked exactly like Sanghyun’s real life, was striking an awkward pose wearing only underwear.
Sang-Hyeon unconsciously chose something like office casual, but when he realized that they were all gathered to play a game, he changed into something else.
There were many cash items sponsored by luxury brands, but of course, Sang-Hyeon had no intention of using cash.
[Gaming Hoodie]
[Natural Gin]
He was wearing a hoodie and simple jeans that looked like something a game character would wear.
[Connect to This World channel.]
Ugh… … !
Once again the surroundings became brightly lit, and countless stars appeared in the field of vision.
Sang-Hyeon’s body was floating as if it was floating in space.
I could swim near the stars.
‘and…….’
But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a star.
There were people inside. People were gathered and talking. In some places, houses were built like a village. I could see people talking while eating a warm-looking stew at the village restaurant.
If you go to another star, the scenery is different. You can also see a city that is reminiscent of cyberpunk.
‘Where do I go?’
Most channels were ‘locked’. Only a small part of the village and city could be seen, and outsiders could not enter.
Floating among countless stars and even more people, Sang-Hyeon felt a strange emptiness.
Among these many places, there is nowhere for me to go.
For some reason, I felt a sense of familiarity.
Tiring.
[Bubble Gum: Oh. You’re here early! Hello!]
Then Bubblegum spoke to me with a message from This World.
fantasy,
