132 Being Remembered
Just like now, a wall of posts filled her vision.
[ Why isn’t the jungle doing more? The opposing jungle and mage are suppressing him! ]
As soon as this comment appeared, another group chose to hurl ridicule.
[ True. Streamer, your support is too slow. They aren’t doing enough. ]
[ It’s not just the skill difference. The jungle is to blame. He lost all composure after dying at the hands of the enemy jungle twice in a row. How many kills has he missed this game? If he can’t pull his weight, you should invite me instead! Even I play better than he does. ]
Although unhappy, she still had to keep up appearances since everything was being streamed live. Smiling, she said, “The jungle isn’t that bad; our opponents are too strong. I’m trying out a champion, so I’m not playing very well, either.”
Many people watching her live stream began echoing her.
[ Ya… The enemy is too strong. Our dear streamer is still learning the ropes, so it isn’t strange she is having trouble. ]
[ I started a game in high spirits, but after watching that mage score a Penta-kill, I feel like I should quit. ]
[ Haha! It’s good you know how to face reality. ]
The discussion caused a wave of laughter to erupt in the chat.
[ That mage is pretty good. I never noticed them until they got that Penta-kill. I had to watch a replay to see what happened. Look at how they timed that entrance! Those dodges were sublime. I haven’t seen such incredible skills before. ]
[ +1 above. I watched the replay too. The more I watch the mage, the more it feels like they are the team’s support. The mage took skill shots for the team and even funnelled kills their way. ]
[ The previous post says it all. I thought something was off when I checked the replay… Everything makes sense if the mage is playing like a support champion. If I had such godly support for a teammate, I’d have wings to fly! ]
Countless posts discussed the opposing mage’s ability, drawing attention away from the female streamer. It left her dissatisfied, but she went along with the flow dutifully.
At this moment, a post caught her eye.
[ Has anyone played during the game’s open beta? I feel like the mage is very similar to a certain big shot. ]
Perhaps the comment would have passed unnoticed in other circumstances, but on this occasion, it did not. Eventually, someone responded.
[ You’re referring to ‘Don’t Hit Mage’, aren’t you? The mage’s playstyle does resemble that character; even the overly protective supporting manoeuvres are similar! ] A hardcore streamer noticed, adding his penny’s worth to the conversation.
[ Overly protective? What do you mean? ] Another asked.
An individual with the username ‘Hardcore Fan’ explained, “For all those newbies out there, let me give you a history lesson! Don’t Hit Mage was a legend in Glory’s open beta. If you want to know more, you can visit Glory’s forum page. They were nicknamed ‘Boss’ because of an individual they used to play with called ‘Find the Jungle’. Find the Jungle enjoyed playing as a mage, but she was not very good. However, she had Don’t Hit Mage by her side. Anytime a player killed Find the Jungle, Don’t Hit Mage would PK that person tenfold – which was considered a relatively low number of deaths.”
[ Why would Don’t Hit Mage pamper Find the Jungle so much? ]
Although it was phrased as a question, everyone could tell there was a great deal of surprise behind it.
[ There’s no doubt about it! I witnessed it firsthand since I was the subject of their pursuit. I still remember that figure stalking in the shadows… that game was a nightmare! ]
Several lines of laughter filled the screen. Although the female streamer tried to concentrate on her game, her attention constantly wandered to the comments section.
[ Hey, Shroud! Do you think that jungle earlier was ‘Find the Jungle’? They looked like they had great synergy. ] Someone else chimed in.
[ I doubt it. Find the Jungle was a girl who only played female mage champions. ] The die-hard fan replied.
[ She’s too spoiled! The envy! I want that mage as my friend to share in the love she receives! ]
The words were typed with a feminine flourish, which spoke to the female streamer’s heart.
Earlier, she had been jealous that all the comments were on the mage’s side. However, a new thought came to mind now that a chord had been struck within her.
[ It’s just a guess. It’d be embarrassing if we got the wrong person! Besides, it looks like the mage already has a partner. It wouldn’t be nice to come between them. ] Those who were still rational tried to sway him.
Nonetheless, the disclaimer was enough to put a damper on several hot-headed girls posting in the stream’s comments section. Soon, the comments section calmed down.
