Around 2: 30 in the afternoon in London, Sakura sat in front of the dressing table in her bedroom in her small apartment. She carefully put on some light makeup in front of the mirror and changed into a chiffon dress. She then carefully combed her hair and sat in front of the computer screen after completing all the preparations for the live broadcast.
She logged into DouYu TV's official website.
She entered her account password.
Sakura took a deep breath and patted her smooth and fair cheeks, revealing a smile.
Then, she started her live broadcast.
At this time, it was around nine o 'clock in the evening in Beijing. The stream had just started and there were about four to five hundred viewers. Basically, these were the die-hard fans that Luo Ying had accumulated over this period of time — — — — -
Half of them were players who were also ranked players in the European server, and the other half were fans who were attracted by Sakura's looks and temperament.
Small live broadcast rooms with four to five hundred fans could be seen everywhere on DouYu TV, a large live broadcast platform.
Basically, such a popularity result could be ranked in the bottom two echelons among the hundreds and thousands of live streamers on DouYu TV.
During the first month of live broadcasting, Sakura would feel depressed and disappointed because of such a dismal popularity. But now, she was used to it.
Even if her popularity was dismal, she could still do her live broadcast with all her heart.
This was also a healthy mentality that a live streamer should have.
First, she greeted the fans in the live broadcast room with a smile on her face to the camera lens. Then, Sakura logged into the European server and got ready to start her live broadcast of the European server's top ranked games.
With her connections and resources, it was impossible for her to get a friend's OB spot from the top Kings of the European server.
However, there was now a specialized OB tool on the Internet. As long as one had the specific ID of a King of the European server, one could directly search and start OB.
This was what Sakura had done before.
But this time, Sakura was a little disappointed. When she searched for the ID of cn 006, the King of the European server seemed to have not started ranking yet.
So, for the time being, she could only choose to OB some other Kings of the European server's ranking games.
The image on the live broadcast screen entered the OB progress bar.
Very soon, the live OB image of a Kings of the European server's ranking game appeared. Sakura also pulled herself together and began to do commentary and analysis work for her fans and viewers in her live broadcast room.
"Alright, what we're looking at now is a random ranking match of the European server's King Bracket!"
"Aiya, we're pretty lucky this round. The top laner on the purple side seems to be a pro player from the European LCS, Fen!"
"Everyone can feast their eyes on this!"
Luo Ying was also pleasantly surprised to find that her luck was pretty good tonight. In the first round, she randomly found a random European server's King of the Dead to be her OB, and she was matched against a European professional player.
Usually, OB matches with pro players or even top Gods would attract the attention of the viewers.
Therefore, she quickly changed the name of her live streaming room.
Very soon, more and more viewers were attracted to the live stream.
In just a few minutes, the number of viewers in Luo Ying's live broadcast increased from four to five hundred to more than two thousand. The number of comments also increased significantly.
Luo Ying couldn't help but feel excited at the momentum of this growth in popularity.
Tonight's rhythm was fine!
If she could maintain it, based on past experience, the number of live streamers would reach another peak in the wee hours of the morning. It was very likely that the number of live streamers would reach more than five to eight thousand.
Then, she would really be able to break the record of her highest popularity since she started streaming!
…
"F * ck, this Sword Girl is awesome!"
"It's possible! Fen himself plays as an adc in the LCS league, right? So he's really good at playing the top laner too! "
"Hahaha, this Vayne is a bit of a scammer, forcefully selling support."
The comments in the live stream flooded the screen. Some of Luo Ying's old fans and viewers watched the live stream excitedly.
They were more interested in the European server to begin with, so they would come here every night to watch the live stream.
Usually, the number of comments in the live stream was not high, but the chatting atmosphere was good. Sometimes, it would be very lively when people discussed the strategies of these European Kings and Gods. When they were sleepy late at night, they would quietly watch the OB without saying a word, listening to Luo Ying's pleasant voice as she continued to explain the live stream to them.
Today's rhythm was slightly different.
Today's comments were more lively.
But …
There would also be some discordant voices.
"Is the streamer streaming the European server?"
"King of Kings?"
"F * ck, is this the level of the European server's King of Kings? Are you kidding me? "
"It's been more than ten minutes and there are only so few people on both sides. This is so f * cking boring."
"I might as well watch OGN on the Korean server."
"Boring, let's go!"
Apart from the few die-hard fans in Luo Ying's live stream who liked to watch the live stream of the European server, many of the new viewers felt that it was the first time they watched the live stream of the European server's King of Kings. They found it boring, and the bullet screen was filled with such comments.
There were even some less well-mannered viewers or haters who began to post even more nasty comments.
There were also some malicious comments that directly attacked the streamer personally.
Luo Ying could not help but bite her lip hard.
Even a streamer with a good personality would not be able to help but be angry and annoyed by such a bullet screen.
For the time being, she could not learn to calmly ignore the haters like other experienced streamers, but at the same time, she was not willing to simply ban people.
This was because the popularity of her live stream was not high to begin with. If she continued to ban people, it would easily give a bad impression to the new viewers who were neutral, and these new fans would then be lost.
For Luo Ying, every little bit of popularity needed to be cherished and taken seriously.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing."
Luo Ying forced a bright smile at the camera and began to appease the viewers in her live stream.
"Those who like me and like watching the European server's King of Kings can just watch the OB quietly."
"It's not good to argue."
"New viewers, this is the room specially for the European server's live stream. If you like it, you can click and follow."
"The European server's ranking is usually slower like this. If you feel too bored, you can go to the live stream of the other Korean server or Taiwan server next door to take a look."
Luo Ying's good temper and attitude made some of the new viewers have a good impression of her.
"The streamer girl is not bad."
"That's a good attitude!"
"Alright, I'll follow you since you said so!"
Of course, there were still some haters who were unyielding and nitpicking.
"What do you mean by arguing?"
"This OB is really boring. You don't even let people talk?"
"Is this the attitude of a new streamer?"
Then, some viewers in the live stream could not stand it anymore and began to lecture her.
"Are you done with the haters?"
"Just say a few words. It's not easy for a new streamer girl to stream. If you really don't like watching the European server's OB, you can just change rooms. What's the point of making a fuss here?"
"Brothers, if you have fish balls, send a wave of attacks. Get rid of the brainless haters."
As soon as these few comments appeared on the bullet screen, it also led to the other old fans of Luo Ying to start reprimanding the haters. At the same time, they also sent fish balls and gifts, finally getting rid of the filthy bullet screen.
Luo Ying felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She was full of gratitude for the few kind-hearted viewers who spoke up for her first.
Taking a closer look, the IDs of the viewers were "White Dolphin", "Don't Disturb In Hibernation", and "Mango Ice".
There were two accounts with higher levels on DouYu, and they even looked a little familiar to her.
Then, Luo Ying vaguely remembered —
It seemed that these IDs had previously sent those 500 yuan large rocket gifts, which had appeared on DouYu's banners and push announcements several times. They could be considered small tycoons.
The streamer they sent the gifts to …
Who was it again?
It seemed to be the number one popular girl on DouYu's League of Legends section, "Night Snow of Su Hang"?
