Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast-Chapter 119: Suicide Squad

Since the teams were formed arbitrarily, I can understand mixing people around to create a fun dynamic.

But still, there are boundaries between people.

If there’s any sense of decency, I would say this team formation shouldn’t have happened.

“...This is really ridiculous.”

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: How did this team even get formed like this?]

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: It really looks like it was rigged, haha.]

[Well, Harin did adjust it herself...]

[Harin made the teams, so this is how they turned out, haha.]

[This is basically a suicide squad, haha.]

[Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god.]

[Look at how Rimaldo’s fanbase is showing up, lol.]

[But why does everyone dislike this? Didn’t Dama like these people?]

[It’s not that I like them, but we’re on good terms.]

Of course, there are people I know.

I’ve actually talked to a few of them.

But—

“Knowing someone from greeting them is one thing, but being on the same team is a completely different situation...”

sigh

I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

It wasn’t just anyone, but Rimaldo and Kang Hoomin that I had to be on the same team with.

It was honestly hard to believe even as I thought about it, so I quietly picked up my phone and messaged Harin.

[Me: Seriously.]

[Me: Do you want to die?]

[Me: What the hell is this team formation?]

[Me: Fix this right now.]

[Me: This is ridiculous.]

After a while, I got a reply.

[Harin: This was the most fun team I could make.]

[Harin: Why should I change it? haha.]

[Harin: Just try to bear with it.]

Harin’s response made no sense at all.

She said she made the team to create a fun dynamic.

“Sigh...”

I sighed again as I read it.

Alright, now that everyone’s checked their teams, let’s make a Discord and take some time to greet each other!

The directive came to gather everyone who had just been called into a Discord channel.

Honestly, I wanted to just throw everything away and go do some solo ranked matches, but... What could I do?

I had already signed up for the tournament.

Since I was in, I had to do it properly.

“Ugh... First, I guess I should invite Kang Hoomin.”

I figured I should invite someone I knew first.

I had met Rimaldo once in a past tournament, but I didn’t have any way to contact him.

So, the priority was to invite Kang Hoomin.

Ring-.

After a brief connection tone,

Ah, hello?

A familiar voice answered.

“Ah, Hoomin. We ended up on the same team for the tournament.”

Yeah. By the way, Dama is in the tournament too.

“I mean... I don’t really have anything else to do.”

Same here.

An awkward silence passed between us after that.

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Damn, this is suffocating.]

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Can someone at least act like they know each other, damn.]

[Didn’t we at least exchange greetings last time? Why is everyone being so formal?]

[Kang Hoomin: Yeah, people like us who are considered “nerds” don’t keep regular contact once we’ve said hello once.]

[Kang Hoomin: It’s a natural thing.]

[LOL, what the hell.]

[This totally undermines the point of us talking last time, haha.]

[If you’ve made any kind of connection, you should stay in touch. Why isn’t anyone doing that?]

I wanted to stay in touch more too.

But it was hard for me.

I wasn’t the type to easily approach people and chat with them in a friendly manner.

‘Even if I try to be thoughtful and reach out, it just feels awkward.’

Personally, I couldn’t help but feel awkward.

If I was a little more smooth-talking, I would have kept in touch more, but I wasn’t, so there wasn’t much I could do.

With that in mind, I spoke up.

“Anyway, that’s that. Since the team’s set, let’s gather the other members. Do you know anyone else?”

I wasn’t expecting much from Kang Hoomin, but I still had a little bit of hope.

I had heard rumors that he had some close people on Twitch.

As I was thinking that, I got another response from Kang Hoomin.

Ah... I really don’t know anyone.

The shocking reply from Kang Hoomin.

There was nothing.

How is it that two people who are supposedly famous on Twitch couldn’t contact even one person out of the other three?

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: How is it that the two most popular ones have no connections?]

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Are they complete nerds, lol.]

[These guys are such nerds, seriously.]

[They should at least be able to contact Rimaldo, right?]

[Didn’t Dama and Rimaldo meet at the tournament last time?]

[Kang Hoomin: It’s hard to shake off that nerdy vibe.]

[This is hilarious, lol.]

[Hoomin, seriously... make some friends.]

[Hwanhee: This is like the Galapagos Islands, seriously.]

I was dumbfounded by the comments.

Alright, let’s try reaching out to them. I’ll go to Haton, and Dama, you go to Rimaldo.

“...What?”

With that, Kang Hoomin left the chat room.

I guess he went straight to Haton.

“What am I supposed to do with this notice?”

[LOL.]

[Rimaldo avoidance game is insane.]

[Rimaldo is difficult to deal with...]

[He’s like an isolated island, literally.]

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Rimaldo doesn’t really have many people he knows,]

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: You’ll probably have to ask him directly on his stream.]

[Kang Hoomin: That jerk should take the initiative to reach out if he signed up for the tournament, damn.]

[He just sits there waiting for others to approach him. I hate it.]

[But what can you do, haha.]

Since Kang Hoomin had given the orders, I had no choice but to go to Rimaldo.

“Ugh, this is nerve-wracking.”

As someone who had watched Rimaldo’s streams a lot in the past, it wasn’t easy for me to approach him with a friendly tone.

To me, it felt a bit awkward.

‘Well, I guess... I have no choice but to contact him.’

What else could I do?

Since the team was already set, I had to contact him quickly.

Thinking that, I entered Rimaldo’s stream.

Ugh, I’m so hungry. Any snack recommendations?

I saw Rimaldo asking for snack recommendations as I entered his stream.

“Seriously, why is he asking for snacks when he’s in a tournament?”

I almost said it out loud, but I barely held back.

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: LOL.]

[Why is he asking for snacks when he signed up for the tournament?]

[Rimaldo, just leave, seriously.]

[Seriously, leave, leave, leave, leave.]

[This is so frustrating.]

[Kang Hoomin: That guy is always like this... Don’t bother getting mad.]

[Kang Hoomin: You’ll understand once you watch his stream for a month.]

I barely calmed down and typed in the chat.

[DuGong: Rimaldo,]

[DuGong: Did you see the team announcement for the tournament?]

[DuGong: Did you not check?]

I typed that and waited a moment.

So, what should I eat? Ugh, this is annoying.

Rimaldo was still talking nonsense.

“Hmm...”

I managed to hold back my anger and sent a donation message.

[DuGong has donated 1,000 won!]

Rimaldo, did you hear about the tournament hosted by Harin? You haven’t checked your team, have you?

I made sure to use lots of question marks to grab his attention.

After a moment, I got a reply.

Oh, right.

Finally, Rimaldo noticed the message.

I knew he was the type to forget, but I couldn’t help but still feel frustrated.

‘It’s annoying, but I guess it’s part of Rimaldo’s charm.’

I thought that, and with some finality, sent another donation.

[DuGong has donated 1,000 won!]

If you send me your Discord info, I’ll invite you to our team’s Discord. Just send it via DM.

I said it like that, hoping he wouldn’t forget.

I knew Rimaldo was forgetful, but after I said it this much, he shouldn’t forget, right?

I thought as I exited his stream.

Then, shortly after...

Ding-!

I received a DM from Rimaldo with his Discord.

I immediately accepted the invitation.

Then, a moment later...

Ah, hello.

Rimaldo’s weak voice came through the headphones.

[🗡️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Ugh, this is draining.]

[How can someone’s voice sound so slimy?]

[Kang Hoomin: Just hearing his voice makes me want to punch something...]

[At least we got Rimaldo on the team easily, haha.]

[It’s usually hard to get him to join.]

As I was relieved that Rimaldo joined easily,

Hello!!!!

A voice so loud it felt like it could tear my eardrums apart filled the space.

“Ugh.”

Then, shortly after...

I’m Parsley, the new streamer!!!

The new streamer’s greeting began.
