【I just watched Delbung’s stream for the first time, and silver hair is crazy cool ㄷㄷ】
[When Rydel was playing Logmaster and got absolutely destroyed by a sniper, I thought it was a comedy stream.
But then, that silver-haired person came out and cleaned up everything.
I couldn’t watch the Chain Roller stream, but they seem like a true gaming pro.]
Isn’t their level beyond just being a pro gamer?
It’s not just gaming skill; their physical ability is insane.
‘It’s like they’re not even human… they’re a beast……’
I thought they were a one-trick pony with crap games, but damn, they’re probably even better at VR.
Their playstyle is completely different.
Even when shooting, they dodge everything—how do they even win?
Yeah, they completely broke the balance by themselves, haha.
【But is it really that impressive to take out a sniper with Logmaster?】
[I know they’re good, but wasn’t that just a matchup thing?
If you get close and start stabbing, snipers usually get destroyed, so winning 1v1 is normal.
Especially with an assault rifle, the sniper can’t even shoot.]
Rydel lost five times in a row.
The sniper was so good that they couldn’t win.
Delbung is really high rank.
I guess the sniper was better.
Maybe Rydel hadn’t warmed up since it’s been a while since their last match?
Just watch the video.
The opponent was a pro.
You didn’t watch the stream?
At the end, they pulled out the knight and still lost.
Wait, silver-haired pulled out the knight?
No, silver-haired took out the knight and killed with Logmaster.
Damn, I’m going to watch it.
That’s insane… The knight didn’t even get a chance, haha.
【Who’s this Ragnarok person?】
[After watching the video, they seem like a pro-level player, right?]
Why is a pro stomping on Diamond players?
Oh, maybe it’s a smurf account doing some stomping.
[I think Ragnarok is a pro.]
[There’s a video from back in the day where pros did 1v1 matches with viewers as part of an event.
The pros would intentionally pick counter champions, and some decent players among the regular viewers would match up with them.
At that time, the pro ADC came up.
If you watch the video from back then, the situation was similar to now.
They took out the ADC and countered all the picks.
The counter is only meaningful if the skill level is somewhat similar, though.
If there’s a huge tier difference, it’s impossible to win.]
If they’re a pro ADC, they probably practiced a lot against snipers and Logmaster, so it’s strange they couldn’t handle it.
Isn’t it hard in a 1v1?
Even if you block with a gun, there’s no support to protect you.
If they retreat to the tower, that’s it.
So, what does that make silver-haired who took down Ragnarok?
Are they also a pro?
I don’t know either, they said it’s their first VR game.
Maybe it’s Rydel’s secret alt account, lol.
That’s nonsense.
I think they’ll probably start streaming soon.
The fact that it’s their first time in VR makes it even scarier.
Saying it’s their first time is probably a lie.
Does that even make sense?
[Silver-haired taking down the knight was really legendary.]
[I think Ragnarok was scared and pulled out the article, but silver-haired just took it out.
With snipers, you could say it was a counterpick and the performance helped them win, but taking down the knight was legit skill.
If you disagree, you’re wrong.]
From the beginning, even if it’s a counter, taking down the sniper shows skill.
Ragnarok was at a pro level.
[Didn’t Rydel get really excited about debuting silver-haired?]
[If the two of them do a collab, I think the chemistry would be good, but wouldn’t the unicorns go crazy?
No matter how much Delbung talks, it’s a female streamer, and doing a collab with a guy is a bit…]
It’s Delbung, but a collab with a guy feels a bit off.
Yeah, true.
[But if you want to see silver-haired start streaming, I’d totally support it, lol]
[Honestly, not streaming with that skill is a waste.
Rydel has experience streaming, but they’re probably not going to do something like a couple’s broadcast.
They’ll probably just play games together.]
Shouldn’t they be debuting as a pro instead of streaming?
A pro debut could be worth a try.
Isn’t being a pro gamer a bit too much?
[Silver-haired is good, but hasn’t all they’ve shown been in 1v1 matches?]
[I think they’d do well in solo rank.
They have the physical skill to crush the laning phase.
But being a pro is different.]
Of course, they’d dominate the pro scene too.
They’re the crazy type who blocks bullets with their teeth.
What do you mean by blocking bullets with their teeth?
This person hasn’t watched the stream.
[Isn’t silver-haired actually a woman?]
[If they’re a cute girl, I’d totally support a collab with Rydel, for real.]
There aren’t many girls who play League of Legends (Leanne & Ma).
Hyeji plays a lot.
The problem is there aren’t many good ones.
They only play support… a girl who’s good with assassins is really in the top 0.1%.
[If silver-haired is a woman, that’s the end for the Arctic bears.]
[Girl who’s good with assassins? That’s super sexy. That’s also why I love Rydel.]
You’re an idiot.
Arctic bears.
If you mess with me, you’ll die.
Stop daydreaming.
‘Honestly, I think it’s just some middle-aged guy with a beer belly… Is Rydel really that handsome?’
Don’t give them the red pill.

‘It seems like she’s thinking about starting an internet broadcast.’
Streamer Rydel, real name Kim Hayun.
Kim Hayun, who was looking around, turned on her smartphone.
The map app showed a message saying the destination was 5 minutes away by walking.
‘There are about 40 minutes left until the scheduled time.’
It was quite early, but arriving early is better than being late.
Thinking that, she adjusted her outfit.
‘Meeting in person is a little nerve-wracking.’
A message from silver-haired: “What should I do first to start streaming?”
To help with broadcasting setups and other things, meeting in person seemed like the best option.
Kim Hayun asked if they could meet offline, and silver-haired replied that it was fine to meet in an hour.
It seemed like it took quite a while for silver-haired to decide.
‘I should help her.’
As soon as she watched silver-haired’s gameplay yesterday, she made up her mind.
A genius.
How many gamers have been called a genius so far?
Most of them debuted as pros and showed performances that ordinary people could never match.
Rydel, Kim Hayun, also admired their plays.
By chance, she ended up making a career out of gaming.
She wasn’t at the level to become a pro gamer, but she had enough skill to hold the title of a skilled gaming broadcaster.
She had watched many games and analyzed gamers.
At least when it came to understanding games, she was confident that she far surpassed the average person.
‘I’ve never seen talent like that before.’
As the saying goes, “A tree that will grow tall is recognized from its sapling,” it’s common for pro gamers to show amazing performances from the very beginning of a game.
However, what silver-haired showed was something different.
That kind of talent was something she had never experienced before.
‘Winning against pro-level players in VR for the first time?’
Ragnarok.
She realized this after losing five times in a row.
That person was definitely pro level.
At least, they were clearly at the level of a trainee.
She didn’t know why someone like that was stomping on Diamond 1 tier, but regardless of the reason, their skill was the real deal.
It was a wall that seemed impossible to overcome.
And yet, silver-haired completely destroyed Ragnarok.
Whether it was intentional or not, she shattered them in every possible creative way.
‘Let’s give the sniper a hundred excuses, maybe it was a counter-pick.’
But she never expected to see a knight taken down by Logmaster.
She recalled the game from yesterday.
Ragnarok, who had been consistently taking out snipers, pulled a new card—Knight.
The Knight was a bruiser-type champion with both decent damage and tanking abilities.
The so-called “comfort food” champion.
Unlike the sniper, it wasn’t weak in terms of health,Since the Knight was a melee champion by nature, even if an assassin tried to engage, they wouldn’t gain any advantage.
Once they fought up close, it was obvious that the Knight, with its superior defense, would overpower Logmaster.
In other words, it was a counter-pick to Logmaster.
It wasn’t because Ragnarok couldn’t play Knight well that she picked it as a counter.
Ragnarok’s Knight play was better than her sniper play.
In fact, the sniper seemed more like a hobby, and Knight appeared to be her main character.
With precise swordsmanship and perfect shield usage, she showed gameplay that was like a textbook for Knights.
Add to that her excellent physical ability, and it seemed like she had mastered the concept of an impenetrable fortress.
And yet, silver-haired defeated that Knight with Logmaster.
What decided the match was the difference in swordplay.
After choosing the acceleration skill instead of the charge ability, silver-haired used assassination tactics to perfectly dismantle the heavy knight.
‘She pierced the shield.’
The reason Knight is a counter-pick.
The heavy shield.
The Knight’s shield was designed to block Logmaster’s dagger.
Normally, while Logmaster would be breaking the shield, the Knight’s sword should have been able to kill the low-health Logmaster.
But silver-haired blocked and avoided all of the Knight’s strikes.
The shield’s durability wasn’t infinite, and the dagger broke through the shield.
Before long, the Knight’s head hit the ground.
And then Ragnarok’s rage quit.
It seemed like Ragnarok was so shocked by losing, even after choosing a counter-pick, that she just left the room without saying anything.
Overwhelming skill.
Even though it was her first time, considering how well she performed, it was hard to imagine what kind of performance she would show once she got used to Raid and Master.
‘I can’t let such talent go to waste.’
The reaction when they streamed together was also good.
There was a sense of duty, almost like a mission, that she couldn’t let such a national-level talent go to waste.
‘Though streaming with a man does carry some risk…’
While walking, Kim Hayun let out a sigh.
Of course, there were fans who liked the idea of male-female collaborations, the so-called “couple-shippers,” but Rydel’s fandom was far from that.
Since her main content was solo game streaming, there hadn’t been any interactions with male streamers.
Most of her fans were also used to Rydel’s image, where there wasn’t much interaction with men.
‘I’ve never even had any dating experience.’
Single = age.
Spending all her time gaming in her room led to that.
It felt a bit pathetic.
But since she immersed herself in gaming, there had been no opportunities to meet anyone.
Furthermore, her status as a single person had somehow become an advantage as a streamer.
From the perspective of male fans, very few would welcome a streamer having a boyfriend.
This was the first time she had ever approached another man like this.
Silver-haired collaboration.
The stream had become a huge hit.
However, there would definitely be fans who felt uncomfortable with it.
“Well, it’s not like we’re dating.”
Silver-haired’s gaming skills were so exceptional that they made any risk seem negligible.
Her skills were so impressive that the word “overwhelming” didn’t even begin to cover it.
There was the calculation of a streamer that collaborating with her would be beneficial, and also the desire of a viewer who simply wanted to watch Silver-haired’s gameplay.
Before she knew it, Kim Hayun had arrived in front of Silver-haired’s house.
“This is the place.”
A one-room apartment near the university, right in front of the door.
Kim Hayun checked the address again.
It was definitely the same one she received when the VR equipment was delivered, so she was certain.
Was she a college student attending a nearby university?
It seemed like they were around the same age, so it might be easy to talk to her, which was a relief.
Kim Hayun rang the doorbell.
A moment later,
creak
The door opened with a slightly worn-out sound.
“Whoa.”
And there stood Silver-haired, holding a plate of spicy fried chicken in one hand.
The girl had a somewhat surprised expression on her face.
Kim Hayun’s pupils trembled.
