Greatest Streamer System

Setting aside viewers who were here to joke around, the game theorist began to share and post the announcement Flexy posted on his Strike.

[Scrimmage, the idea we abandoned a long time ago!]

[Will Scrim be effective for professional players, or will it only reveal their weaknesses?]

[First Scrim after a long time. The concept is the same, but the name is different! Will Flexy prove its effectiveness?]

[No one was willing to hold a practice match, which cost money, to benefit other teams. This is a bold move from Flexy and his team!]

They were skeptical of the result. Most people who had followed the gaming world for so long knew that such an event was already held in the past.

Practice matches against other teams had been tested only to reveal one's weakness to the other teams. However, these practice matches in the past were for an individual fighting game, which needed one to hide their fighting style.

On the opposite of these theorists was the opportunist. They could see the differences between this time's practice match with the one in the past.

[Roach Planet is a team game where 10 teams are competing at once. This Scrim will help a team know their weaknesses better than other teams, and they can use that to do focus training and fix it before the competition day arrives.]

[I believe Scrim will be useful for a game where many teams are put in a map, such as battle royale, and will have the opposite result in a game where two teams went against each other directly. Let's see how it's going tomorrow.]

[No one has tried to hold a practice match since the Ground Fighter IV famous failure where the previous champion was defeated in round 1 after he returned from the practice match. However, I am curious about the result with this Scrim. I will interview one of the team after they finish to find out.]

The internet was divided into two almost immediately. No, into three. The first group was skeptical about the Scrim result, saying that it would only expose the team's weaknesses to the others. The second group was curious about the Scrim result and the change it brought to the competition.

And the third group was those who didn't even think this Scrim would be useful at all.

[Scrim is useless and we are better off playing against other players in a ranked match. We will only practice with other professional teams on the training joint a day before the match.]

[I believe our team has pretty good teamwork and just needs to work on our strategy. Thus, we don't join the Scrim this time and focus on our inner work instead.]

[We are in a wait-and-see situation. Our team will strive to improve and focus on ranked matches to sharpen our skills and strategies.]

Most of the posts on Strike were shared many times, making the word 'Scrim' spread like wildfire. No matter what their opinions were, the focus was still on the Scrim. Those who didn't even play Roach Planet were also interested in the result.

The group discussed it with delight. Max and Flexy, two streamers who knew what this signify, celebrated it by ordering more food. This would lead new people to their streams, and hopefully, they would like them enough to stay as regular viewers.

Just from this alone, both have already profited greatly. Flexy also didn't feel like the money he promised Max would be a waste just from his idea alone. Their goals weren't to win the competition but to get more recognition.

Of course, winning would be preferred as it could also boost their name further. Hence, they proceeded to the next step.

They ended their livestream and proceeded to the strategy meeting. Flexy shared the file he prepared, filled with the strategies he could think of, including the ones that had been practiced in their training session.

The orange-haired streamer also used his privilege of knowing which team joined the Scrim to share what he knew about them. It sounded like he abused his authority, but it wasn't like that at all.

Holding a Scrim cost him money—he would make that money worth it by getting information about his opponents. The other parties definitely also understood this, so sharing it among his teammates wasn't wrong.

The meeting went on for around 2 hours. At 9 PM, Flexy exhaled a long sigh and closed all floating screens on the table.

"That's all. We finished for the day. Let's gather near the Blue Eden Hall at 12 PM tomorrow to prepare for the Scrim. I have informed all teams to gather around that time too."

"Fuu! It's over!" Ferin exclaimed as she stretched her arms up.

Among five people on the OrangeSquash team, she was the one who looked so bored in the meeting earlier. She probably also didn't listen at all as she played around with her smartwatch. But…

"At, tell me the simple version of the strategy later, 'kay? I may be smart, but you're smarter than me. Hehehe."

"You're always like this," Atlas said as he sighed. "I will explain the simple version at home later."

"Hehehe, you're the best!" Ferin exclaimed and hugged Atlas.

Both of them stood up, preparing to leave. But before they walked away, Atlas turned to Lily.

"We will return to our home after this. What about you, Lily? We are responsible for escorting you until StoneSword picks you up."

"I am staying with Max," Lily answered without missing a beat.

"Oh?" Ferin's lips curled into an amused grin.

She eyed Max, who nodded softly at her. That meant he would take responsibility for Lily's safety.

"Well, well. If that's what she wanted, let's go home first, At." She said, tugging Atlas' sleeve and pulling him to leave.

Seeing the sign, the orange-haired streamer also stood up.

"I also need to return home now, or Lisa will kill me." Flexy said, "I have reserved a Biozone Hotel for you, the suite, for 3 days. Use it and enjoy your time!" He gave Max a thumbs up and ran out of the café.

Only Max and Lily were left around the table filled with empty glasses and plates. They looked at each other briefly and Max asked.

"Shall we go to another place?"

"Un."

They stood up at the same time. And as if it was natural, Lily's hand sought Max's and held it. He looked pretty surprised but calmed down when he saw her smile. He smiled back at her.

"Let's go, then. I have a place that I want to show you."

And thus, they walked out of the café together.
