Having prepared all the material, Flexy clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. He had already started his own livestream while Max and Lily flirted in their own world, forgetting the other's presence.
"Cough! Breeze, let's announce that to our viewers first before we continue."
Max snapped out from his stupor, which he didn't even realize, and looked at Flexy, "Ah, you're right. We need to announce it and have a meeting."
He had been ignoring both his viewers and the group altogether since Lily arrived. Self-reflection... What kind of self-reflection when he almost repeated his mistake again? He needed to get a grip on this.
— Wtf Flexy! We are enjoying their conversation!
— That orange hair! I will boil him down into orange juice for sure!
— Au Café, is it? I am close. Am I allowed to kidnap him when they leave? (I am joking)
— Count me in. I just returned from BROTHEL (I am not joking)
— Lolol, Breeze is falling so hard that he forgot about the world.
— Your interaction with Lily is just so cute that I clipped all of it hehehe. It's a blessing
When he looked at the chat, he saw the viewers were mocking and teasing him as usual. Some were threatening Flexy in a joking manner. That relieved Max slightly.
"Don't kidnap Flexy, guys. He hasn't paid me for joining his team yet." He said to his viewers as he set the camera so it showed all five members surrounding the table.
— That's right
— Breeze hasn't gotten his money yet. Don't kidnap Flexy yet
— Nothing beats money!
— Tsk, and here I have my rope ready
— Damn, I had rented a van already.
— Plan failed, I guess. Let's just have a van party
That escalated quickly. He knew they were joking, though, so he continued.
"Anyway, I will announce the stuff I have been keeping secret from this morning. Afterward, I will have a meeting, so the stream will end at this point, I guess." He paused and turned to Flexy, "Leader, I will give you the honor."
— You just showed your cards to your opponent.
— Wait, a mock tournament. Isn't that better than the joint or playing ranked tournaments? Screw strategy.
— No, if we think about this again... Isn't today 19th? The tournament is still 10 days away. Even if their strategy is countered, they can just create a new one!
— Thus, the teams will have multiple strategies, and it will only benefit them. It makes other teams wary too, especially those who don't join this Scrim.
"Exactly!"
Not all viewers were dumb or liked to joke around. There were also those who loved games more than anyone and had deeper research even compared to some professional gamers. They immediately knew the pros and cons of this Scrim.
"And thus, I worked hard, inviting many teams. Unfortunately, among 40 teams I extended my invitation to, only 19 teams agreed to join the Scrim. We will separate them into two groups and imitate the preliminaries, with the 20th team composed of our reserved members who were interested in playing.
"This Scrim will be hosted by me tomorrow at 4 PM. The details will be announced tomorrow. Twenty teams, composed of professional players, will compete in training. Isn't that exciting? We will try many strategies you have never seen before, so make sure to watch the stream!"
"You will also be able to see beautiful me defeating the evil roaches. So please watch and send many donations!" Ferin added and winked at the camera.
The destructiveness of the world-class model was instantly apparent.
— I WILL!
— Even if I got into an accident, I will definitely watch the stream!
— You can take over Flexy's stream! I will definitely donate
— Ferin in Flexy's stream, huh? Interesting
Of course, the channel's owner could only smile wryly. Fortunately, Max's viewers were different from Flexy's.
— Well, we love seeing Breeze and Lily already
— So are they going to play together? I am looking forward to it
— Breeze x Lily vs army of roaches! They will decimate them!
— The Breezy pair is now gone, but BreeLy will stand strong!
Indeed, they loved the pair more than Ferin.
