In short, the statement was “It’s not me,” and when directly quoted it went, “I heard a picture is being passed around as me, but it’s not me.” This clarification broadcast followed.
Needless to say, the online community exploded.
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Is this some joke?]
[It’s obvious the context of the situation needs to be considered.
“If it’s not you,” then why are you denying it so abruptly?]
─[I said it’s not me, so why is that a problem?]
└[Do you really think this is a healthy way to communicate?]
└[Anonymous]
└[Are you C? Damn bastard.]
─[In any case, they said it’s not them~]
└[Wow, really?]
[Writer: Sol (Unspecified Gender)] [Title: Why does everyone think all of Legend’s Eye know this?]
[Maybe they genuinely didn’t know it wasn’t them and just went off saying it wasn’t.
Why is everyone so quick to conclude that Legend’s Eye orchestrated this whole thing?
Stop the witch hunt!]
─[From the way things are going, it’s 100% intentional.]
─[Damn, Legend is at it again.]
└[Just look at the username; you’ve got to be kidding me. Ha!]
─[There’s no way to trust them considering their history of fraud.]
└[They’re a prime suspect!]
─[This guy’s going to fall for the first romance scam that comes along.]
└[They’re practically a walking money pot. dddd]
[Writer: Sol (Unspecified Gender)] [Title: Think about it, has anyone ever seen Legend post anything on SNS?]
[They’re attacking Legend for having the same username yet get mad when they deny it. Why?]
─[Is this guy a fan or an anti-fan?]
└[Pretending to be a fan while secretly being an anti-fan, repeating endlessly.]
└[Do even the viewers look like streamers now?]
└[The audience follows the streamer’s tendencies.]
─[This whole “over-the-top rebuttal” by these guys is ridiculous. Aren’t they the ones who never admitted it was their picture?]
└[Then how about the part where they said they were ugly?]
└[They said they were ugly but never claimed it was their picture, right?]
└[Now that I think about it, that argument actually holds water.]
└[Don’t cowardly bring up facts; let’s stir the pot with lies and manipulation.]
└[Even the subtle rhetoric has been part of her plan!]
└[A typical ‘I didn’t lie’ tactic.]
└[Ha ha ha ha ha ha…]
─[Everyone is playing right into Sol’s hands.]
─[Their SNS account is undoubtedly theirs; I’m sure of it.]
└[The pictures might be stolen, though.]
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Does anyone think Sol looks good?]
[What’s the probability of her being a hideously handsome orc pretending to be ugly?]
─[Even standardized test problems aren’t twisted this much.]
─[What if all of this was part of a larger plan? What if getting caught was her cunning scheme?]
└[How are they controlling the game company’s reactions?]
└[Was Infinity also in on it?]
└[Are you insane? Conspiracy theorist nonsense.]
└[Oh my, that sounds exciting.]
└[The government is using Wi-Fi to control you. Destroy your smartphone immediately.]
└[After reading this, I destroyed my phone and survived government mind control. Thank you.]
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Just turn the stream back on, Legend ㅋㅋ]
[Here’s a dare: I’ll let you have it if you turn the stream back on. ㅋㅋ
A swarm of team gallery users is coming.
Are you prepared for the consequences of playing with us?]
─[Would the writer of this be held accountable if Legend actually shuts down their stream?]
─[Um… Do you even feel any belonging to the community? Ah, disgusting.]
└[Who are we? The best Teamfight Arena users in the world.
Who are we? The top-tier members of the Teama Gallery.]
└[That’s disgusting.]
└[Since joining Teama Gallery, my life has been completely transformed.]
─[Let’s see the stream, Legend.]
People were prepared for chaos.
When the stream comes back on, they were ready to set fires everywhere and cause havoc.
On an afternoon during Lunar New Year’s Day…
The stream actually resumed.
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Legend’s Stream is On]
[Recruitment Notice: Seeking protestors who will confront Sol in search of the truth.
Qualifications: Torches, a strong voice, and proficiency in ASCII art. Those with ASCII art will be preferred.]
─[What do we gain if this succeeds?]
└[Truth and honor.]
─[All we can really do is spam the chat; how useful is a loud voice?]
└[Obvious. It’s asking if you can flood the chat. You don’t just live IRL but online too!]
└[True. ㅋㅋ]
The people gathered at Sol’s stream, armed with ASCII banners and chat spam.
But instead of the expected shoddy local festival, they were greeted with a state-of-the-art holographic feast of the future.
[Writer: Sol (Unspecified Gender)] [Title: Legend’s Eye’s broadcast is lit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[ ChallengerKoreanKing lol lol lol I’ve been waiting for this, damn it!!!]
─[What do you mean? What tier are you at?]
└[Gold 1.]
└[Can you really be called ChallengerKing if you’re in Gold 1?]
└[They’re already fighting Diamond and Master players, looks like they might skip the promotion matches as well.]
└[Woah.]
└[Apparently, the general game’s MMR has started to influence placements.]
└[Then what happens to someone like Sol who was undefeated until level 30?]
└[It’s right above: they’re already fighting Diamonds and Masters.]
└[Ah, I see.]
─[Sol, you’re a hero!]
─[Absolutely living up to the name. “Sol” is indeed a legend.]
It was a rare spectacle.
A ChallengerKoreanKing originating from Gold.
It was also unprecedented.
That is, provided she succeeds.
If she succeeded…
“Can she even fail?”
People thought.
The woman who was acknowledged by Victor and bested Wild.
Could it be that the woman hailed as a rival to Victor is showing us something extraordinary?
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Could this be the world’s first female Challenger?]
[It seems so obvious that Sol will just achieve it effortlessly.]
─[Wouldn’t it be stranger if she didn’t make it? Not your ordinary Challenger but Victor’s acknowledged rival.]
└[When did Sol become Victor’s rival? Wasn’t it Lee Jun?]
└[You’re really dumb.]
└[Why are you hitting someone walking by?]
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: Where did all the vandals go who wanted to burn down Sol’s stream?]
[She turned the stream back on, but why is no one flooding it?
Were all the protestors silenced by her manager?
Then at least make some chaos with VPNs and alternate accounts. Do something.]
─[Why are you sitting idle?]
└[The vibe feels off.]
└[We came to wreak havoc but upon witnessing this opera performance, we’ve taken our seats.]
└[For once, I feel like a cultured citizen. Feels good.]
─[Witness this legend!]
─[The first-ever female ChallengerKoreanKing!]
└[Damn, she’s living up to the hype.]
The promised protestors arrived to find everyone mysteriously transformed into meek lambs, abandoning their torches and banners to become a part of the calm crowd.
You don’t ruin the atmosphere during a historic event like the first female ChallengerKoreanKing.
[Writer: Anonymous] [Title: People always say women can’t game, but what about Sol?]
[Women don’t play games as much, but there’s no reason they can’t be better than men if they try.
Since Sol came around, all those fake haters have been silenced.]
─[Is this your real opinion, or just for the act?]
─[Are you a team member? Want to play with me?]
└[Ah, funny. This is why Sol’s being framed as an attention-seeker.]
└[Creepy.]
─[Don’t fall for it. Sol’s actually a man pretending to be a woman.]
Victims, both men and women, have fallen for Sol’s charm.
Be wary of this streamer.
—
“Why are there so many people? Is it a New Year’s special effect?”
The life of a streamer runs backward.
Nothing complicated. While students and office workers grind their daily routine, streamers rest, and during the times those folks unwind, streamers work.
From 6 PM on weekdays until they turn in around 1 AM, and weekends afternoons are when streamers often broadcast.
You can’t watch streams while working, right?
…Though many of them somehow do. Salarymen.
Regardless, it’s true that streamers work during the commoner’s leisure hours.
But things are a bit different during the holidays.
Even streamers have families and relatives to visit.
Thus, established streamers often take holidays, leaving room for mid-tier ones to fill the void and try their luck at scoring big.
So when an unprecedented event like the first female ChallengerKoreanKing suddenly drops into the vacuum…
It’s bound to draw crowds, just like when a big-name tanghulu shop suddenly hits it big.
Currently, Sol has 22,000 viewers.
And what’s terrifying is that the number is still growing.
[promotion from Platinum 1 to Diamond 3 in one go]
[What? No promotion matches?]
[That’s how high her MMR must be.]
[She’s already facing Challengers, insane!]
[That was a Challenger game just now.]
[“What’s your tier?” “Legendary.” “Is that even a tier?” “Yes, I’m a Legend.”]
<sshut up ㅋㅋ>
[Where are those guys who were trashing Master players? Looks like even the Challenger heads are being crushed.]
[Will the long-awaited Victor vs. Sol match happen today?]
[Victor is also a champ but even champs need to rest, especially on New Year’s day.]
[But wait, why is Sol doing ranked matches? Playing with Challengers? Is this her rival?]
[Still early for her to face the top Challenger ranks.]
[But as a Challenger King, shouldn’t she encounter those ranks sooner? Perhaps today?]
[What if Victor queues up?]
[Oooh…]
[Is it coming?]
[Are you hyped?]
There are only 300 challengers, and very few players are actually online during the holiday.
Could the dream match happen today?
The crowd buzzes with excitement.
