97 97 - Bots

When Aatrox entered the front of the camera lens and the viewers saw what his face looked like, the chat stopped instantly. Aatrox thought some problems would have happened, but he couldn't imagine what was going on in their heads.

Seeing the calm look, the long black hair, and a flat face like baby skin, "So you mean I've been looking so long for more videos about the swordsman, and actually he was God Aatrox all the time?" was what was going on in most of them' heads.

When Aatrox was about to test his internet connection, the chat that had completely stopped for a second surfaced again, now with many more messages. The broadcast was with 96 viewers at the time, and by the speed at which the chat was moving, it seemed that the 96 people were sending non-stop messages.

Aatrox knew that if it wasn't for being a Baron level grower, it would be impossible for him to read so many messages appearing and disappearing so quickly in the chat.

...

Meanwhile, inside Twitch's headquarters.

"Quick, I think we have a problem, or someone's using bots." Said a scared technician to the superior with a report he received from the site's security system.

The superior turned to the technician with his eyebrows frowned. It was very rare for anyone to be able to use bots or anything like that on their website. Hearing that the security system notified that someone was using, it was a matter that he could not take lightly because if something went wrong, all the responsibility would fall on him.

"Quick, show me the reports." The superior said as he approached the technician's computer monitor.

"Look at this, he started broadcasting a few minutes ago, until then it was normal, until suddenly, his comments that varied in an average of 100 comments per minute, something around 8 people commenting every 5 seconds, exploded to 700 comments per minute, something about 60 people commenting every 5 seconds. The coach said as he pointed to the chart.

"Maybe more people came into his live stream, he's some big, famous streamer?" The superior asked.

Hearing that, the coach swallowed it dry. "Actually, no, he's a rookie streamer. His live stream has been between 90 and 100 viewers all this time. It's almost 60% of his viewers texting the chat every 5 seconds... That doesn't make any sense." The technician said worriedly.

When the superior heard that, his distrust increased. He had been working on it for years and knew how hard it was to keep 20% of the audience during the main hours of the live stream. Keeping 60% of the public engaged was something they could only imagine in the most perfect graphics possible. "Before you do anything, open his live stream so we can have a look." He said.

But when the transmission charged and he could see what was happening on the screen. They were both surprised and scared. They knew who that person was, now it all made sense. Even if the technician and the superior were only analyzing, they also felt like commenting on the chat about the true identity of this God Aatrox.

"Damn it, that's a bigger deal than I expected. Keep an eye on this, I need to talk to my superior." The CO said as he ran out of the room.

"What do I do? Should I stop his transmission?" The coach asked without knowing what to do.

When the superior heard that, he turned angry and screamed. "Are you an idiot? Do you really think he's using bots? Look who he is... if he had told us this, we could have made a big event to let you know that the swordsman was broadcasting on our platform... you know how much audience he generates for youtube?" The superior came out of there cursing as he ran into his superior's office.

The coach was astonished but took advantage that his superior had him keep an eye on the transmission and sat comfortably in the chair, to find out what the famous swordsman was preparing to do on their platform.

[Random Viewer 25: My God!!!! It's the swordsman! I can't believe you're here!]

[TwoAowT: You... really are you!!!! Swordsman, get me pregnant!!!]

[Random Viewer 7: Send a hello to me, swordsman!]

...

As Aatrox read the comments, he got scared. 'Were these people like this just because I showed my face?' He thought.

Suddenly, Aatrox started looking at the numbers of people watching and saw that he was rising again after normalizing in 90. Now it was 110, 130, 150, 170... and it just kept going up.

[Random Viewer 111: My God!!! The swordsman is the swordsman!]

[Random Viewer 142: Please tell us what the third episode will be like!]

...

People started commenting more and more, Aatrox didn't know very well what to do, but he started answering some questions that he thought were interesting. Some questions about how he acted, if he had fun, if he was a friend of the waitress's actress... this kind of question seemed interesting to him and he kept answering until suddenly, a huge amount of similar messages were appearing in his chat.

[Random viewer 150: My God, @Limipy is watching your broadcast!]
