Having prepared all the material, Flexy pped 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.


    — n failed, I guess. Let''s just have a van party


    That escted 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."


    "As you should be." Flexy nodded with a serious expression. He had put up the act for his stream already, unlike earlier.


    "I will now tell you what we have been hiding. And yes, Makarel62… It''s not about LilyPixel joining our team. There is a n for tomorrow, and it''s a big-scale program I have been nning for a long time after hearing an idea from Breeze. Credit goes to him."


    The long time, in this case, was only a week. The orange-haired streamer lied through his teeth as easy as breathing. It was a quality all streamers needed to have if they wanted to seed.


    — A big-scale program that Breeze''s proposed?


    — This gotta be interesting


    — I wonder what is it? Is it something ridiculous or something serious?


    The interest was caught. Flexy grinned for a second before continuing.


    "I believe all of you are familiar with how gamepetition works. All teams who entered preliminaries would train by themselves in a ranked match using the system of ''High MMR'' matchmaking." He said, raising his finger. "It''s the most effective method they know that works while improving their skill."


    Everyone agreed with Flexy''s words. His and Max''s viewers said the matchmaking would work to increase their teamwork and skill by ying as many matches as possible.


    "A day before apetition started, a joint would be held. It''s an effective way to know your skill among your enemies in preliminaries and to develop a strategy against them. Isn''t that so?" Flexy snapped his fingers.


    — Right


    — I always watched the joint streamed by those pros because it''s so interesting


    — They try all kinds of strategies and make the game interesting, indeed. But… It''s too fast paced


    — Yeah, the realpetition feels slowpared to the joints


    — Not only that, the joint is just a joint. It''s a ranked match but with pros instead of normal yers


    "Indeed." Flexy nodded in agreement as he read the chat.


    "Joint only ''imitated'' thepetition, and the rule is still that of a ranked match. The yers also didn''t use their real strategies, so it became fast-paced. However, ranked matchmaking is usually very easy and ineffective for some teams. Knowing this problem, Breeze proposed something."


    Flexy pointed at Max with a big grin.


    "Why don''t we hold a Scrim, he said. At first, I wondered what it was, but he exined. We will hold a mockpetition with other teams using realpetition rules in a custom game. That brings me to a question. Won''t the other know our strategy and try to counter it? Isn''t this just shooting our legs?"


    — That''s right


    — You just showed your cards to your opponent.


    — Wait, a mock tournament. Isn''t that better than the joint or ying 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 evenpared 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 teamposed of our reserved members who were interested in ying.


    "This Scrim will be hosted by me tomorrow at 4 PM. The details will be announced tomorrow. Twenty teams,posed of professional yers, willpete 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-ss model was instantly apparent.


    — I WILL!


    — Even if I got into an ident, 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 y 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.
