@danubeglory watching Dazzling Hundred Blossoms on stream

 

[A 30 second video clipped from Rhys’ stream. He is watching a vod of a Spitfire named CHAOS running a dungeon with a random party. The group approaches the main boss and a Cleric throws his weapon, starting the encounter before the rest of the party is ready. Rhys yells at the screen in second hand rage as incoherent speech bubbles appear over CHAOS’s avatar.]
   

 

Kylie Wang @KylieWang_en 11d

I interviewed Dazzling Hundred Blossoms after his arrival in Switzerland. We talked about playing on EU7, the current meta and who he’s most looking forward to meeting on the world stage.

 

[A minute-long preview of the interview. Both interviewer and interviewee are speaking Chinese. Subtitles are provided.

Translation:

Kylie: How are you enjoying the European Glory servers?

Zhang Jiale: It’s been an experience.

Kylie: How does it compare to playing in China?

Zhang Jiale: The style of play is very different, I don't usually spend too much time outside Heavenly Domain so this is quite different.

Kylie: I’ve seen that you’re struggling a bit with partying up with other people.

Zhang Jiale: There’s many very good players but they have very specific skills so it can be hard to play in a party.

Kylie: A very diplomatic answer.

Zhang Jiale: Ok, fine, you’re right, it’s been terrible. But generally the players are quite nice, even if I don’t understand their play.]

Evan @terranmain 10d

🤣🤣🤣

 

[A 40 second video clipped from Rhys’ stream. He is watching another vod featuring CHAOS. CHAOS is part of a party clearing a dungeon and, once again, his team seems determined to lose, running into enemies without a care in the world.

Transcript: Why isn’t anyone from his team playing with him? Immovable Rock is running dungeons with Life Extinguisher, Boundless Sea, Cloud Piercer and Crying Devil. They’re probably all sitting in a room together, laughing and sharing food and making heart eyes at each other while Dazzling Hundred Blossoms is slowly losing his mind playing with these incompetent idiots, finding parties by himself.]

That’s a 70% win rate over 116 matches in the last 7 days and he’s doing dungeons as well. Is he even sleeping?

Kylie Wang @KylieWang_en 7d

I was lucky enough to sit down with the head coach of the Chinese Glory team, Ye Xiu. We talked about his incredible final season in the GPA, what the unspecialized class means to him and how his transition to coaching has gone.

 

[A 30 second preview of the interview. Both interviewer and interviewee are speaking Chinese. Subtitles are provided.

Translation:

Kylie: How are you finding coaching players that you’ve played against in the past?

Ye Xiu: I’ve known many of the players on and off the stage for many years, so it has been quite a smooth transition. I’ve really enjoyed being able to work with the master tacticians rather than against them.]

Kylie Wang @KylieWang_en 7d

It has been a dream of mine for many years to be able to interview Ye Xiu. He’s truly been an incredibly important player for the development of the Glory esports scene in China and one of the greatest players to ever touch the game.

Notes:

Post-reveal notes!

 

I couldn't post notes before reveals because I have so many notes and I write really long ones....

 

This fic is based on the real, extended fanboy moment that European streamer, ex-pro and current caster Caedrel had before and during the 2021 League of Legends World Championship over Teddy, a Korean pro player (the (currently substitute) ADC on T1). It was an absolute joy to see it play out on Twitter and catch some of it on stream. I have a full, extremely long writeup of the full inspirations for this fic (with tweet references and reasons I thought I would get guessed) on blogspot.

 

During the live readings of this fic, I was RNG assigned to read this one. A recording of my read is is available as an MP3 (14m40s, with live sound effects).
