Big game programs, especially those held by a publisher, always had giveaways and redeem codes in exchange for rewards. It invited many people even before the program started, and they used the chat room to communicate with each other.
— Oooh! Can't wait!
— Three pairs with different plans and game styles. Who will win?!
— Fort Siege speedrun program. Biozone Entertainment is really giving it their all, huh?
— I believe StoneSword and LilyPixel will win. They are the current world record holder, after all
— I am not sure whether they will break the world record here, but I believe StoneSword will win
— Lillyyy!!! So cute! I am your fans!!
— RoninKnight is also a good player. Only Flexy is rather... skilled. Of course, he's better than me, but his skill is meh
— I wonder who the new Synchronization Test record holder is. So curious!
Unlike Max's viewers, they were more neutral and weren't as chaotic, although some of the chat were about Lily's cuteness, as she was the only girl participant in this program.
With the bait Biozone Entertainment threw in their announcement, namely the new record holder, everyone began to focus on that part.
— I believe MadLad is the new record holder
— LilyPixel is the new record holder, for sure! She's really good. Just look at the current Fort Siege's world video
— LilyPixel's movement is so smooth and skilled. It's not strange if she can break Puppeteer's record
— Naaahhhh, you guys are delusional. It's clear that Breeze is the new record holder
— True true. The wall run man is the new record holder, for sure
— What did you say?! MadLad can beat that guy blindfolded
— Kekw. Keep your delusion. Breeze can split his head with his axe in less than a second!
Fans began to fight each other, and the situation soon turned chaotic. No one backed away as they wanted to support their streamer's side.
Surprisingly, the worst of them all was Lily's fans. Even if they were low in number compared to Max and MadLad, they were enthusiastic about defending her and truly believed she was the new synchronization test record holder.
Not only normal viewers but some newbie streamers began to appear in chat. Jealousy was apparent in their words.
Some celebrations, words of encouragement, and curses began to fly one after another, nearing the start of the program.
Currently, the viewer count has broken 200K. No one could control the chat anymore, not even with 10 moderators who tried their best to make the chat civil again.
Only when the livestream started was the chat filled with 'Finally!' or 'I've been waiting!'
[Livestream Start!]
— There it is, BreezeSucker! He even donated 2,000 diamonds just to make his chat appear larger than the others!
— How rich.
"It seems that one of your fans is giving you some words of love." Evelyn giggled and looked at Max.
"Haha, I am blessed to have a fan like him."
There was no need to add more words. BloodSucker could be ignored for now. If there was one thing that was regrettable, it was the fact that the donations would be divided by 6 after Biozone Entertainment took 40% of it.
'He should've just donated to my stream.' Max thought in his head.
Overall, the reactions to his and Flexy's introduction seemed nice. All the haters in the waiting room earlier couldn't be seen as the chat moved fast, with viewers praising either his friendship with Flexy or his look.
Some compared him to StoneSword, but many ladies had fallen for just his look alone.
Max could understand why. He sat between a cute girl and a rough-looking guy. So, his handsome features were more highlighted than usual.
Evelyn continued to ask MadLad and RoninKnight questions. The former was so energetic and ended up shouting, making him perfectly fit his look. RoninKnight handled it quietly, as serene as a lake. In short, he mumbled.
After she finished asking the question, she clapped her hands happily.
"It seems that everyone is certain that they will win. Will we see a new world record for Fort Siege today?!"
This question was directed to the viewers as she faced the camera. Answers came almost immediately.
— Yes!
— Breeze will easily break the world record!
— Ah, world record. I am curious about who broke the synchronization test world record
— Tell us! Don't keep us in suspense!
— lololol, no way we can break the world record easily! Especially in a program like this!
Evelyn raised her eyebrows as if some of the chat became a cue. She acted as if she forgot about it and knocked her head softly.
"Oh, right!" She exclaimed, as if forgetting something, "Talking about breaking a world record, we have yet to announce the player who achieved 1st in synchronization test WR, no? I am such a klutz!"
— Hehe, but you're so cute
— Klutz Evelyn, how precious!
— This is why we love you!
— Show us! SHOW US!!
"Alright! Because the audience seems to be curious. Let us watch the footage of their synchronization tests!"
