Chapter 151
Winning the pre-tournament MVP vote was certainly a good thing for Magia personally.
Her name spread quickly across various platforms. Although she had appeared a few times before, her name stayed at the top of the Tree Wiki search rankings for longer, which marked an exceptional opportunity to make herself known.
However, from the perspective of Parallel as a whole, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
At least for Magia, who served as the operations team leader, it felt a bit like poison.
The reason? It was the viewers who were only interested in her gaming skills, the so-called merit-based viewers who were curious simply because Magia was good at the game. These viewers were like a cancer to the esports scene.

About half of these viewers were only interested in Magia’s skills, and they were also the type of viewers considered toxic in esports. They were highly sensitive to skill and wouldn’t hesitate to make harsh comments if things didn’t go well.
— Those two people next to her are such dead weight.
— So, this is why they picked her as an MVP candidate, huh? lol
— They’re such baggage, seriously. lol
— Why did Parallel make the team like this? Don’t they want to win?
These people appeared even in the official broadcast chat, constantly criticizing both the opposing team and their own team’s players.
