It would probably be better if you thought of something else that you would express yourself with." And so I went back to the drawing board and thought really aggressively on it. And when I went to a company with it, they're like, "This is actually really oversaturated in this market. So it's just like me directly as a Vtuber. Which is what hair I had at the time when I was streaming-and then obviously there was some cute little cat ears. So I was going for a puma-style esports regular-looking girl with light blue hair. So originally I went in with this plan that I would make it generally appealing to my current audience and not go too far into it. I had to consider how my content would look like.Īnd also, like what my Vtuber would look like. But I thought, 'Am I alienating my current fan base who doesn't really care about this sort of thing and just wants to watch League?" Or "Will I just be playing League of Legends?" Because the question was do Vtubing fans like League of Legends.
I wasn't a huge streamer-I was 100-150 viewers I think and I was a Twitch Partner. There were a lot of considerations that I had to make when I started. What have been some of the most noticeable adjustments you’ve had to make as a streamer when making the transition to Vtuber? I don't feel comfortable caring about how I look when I'm laughing or when I'm uncomfortable or eating or anything like that I can literally just be me. And I feel like I can be myself, 5000x myself. I feel more comfortable streaming than I have ever in my entire life. So it was to solve a personal issue, and helped me feel comfortable creating, which I think it totally succeeded. I thought, "This is everything that I wanted." And I wanted to be able to express myself in a way that I'm comfortable. But a couple of Vtubers had recently debuted that I thought was so cool. And I wasn't having a lot of fun either.īefore I became a Vtuber, I don't know too much about it. And I think that no-cam League gameplay isn't always the best market. And obviously, as a streamer, you got to think about what's affecting your growth. So I ended up just streaming without cam most of the time. And I had a really cheap Vtuber around two years ago that I tried out and it was okay, I felt comfortable. And I actually had learned about Vtubing four years ago.
I wasn't uncomfortable with my appearance, or my persona. It was really hard to take games seriously or play ranked.Īnd I also just felt generally uncomfortable. I found it was like really conflicting with how I felt I needed to look on stream.

If you're a girl, there are appearance standards that you'd adhere to like wearing like fake eyelashes, full face of makeup and stuff like that. You have a key light shining bright into your eyeballs. And it can be really distracting to stream with facecam while trying to take the game seriously. I was mostly a League streamer and the community can be pretty judgmental and toxic on how you play, especially if you're marketing yourself as a skilled player. I didn't enjoy streaming as much as I had expected-there are a couple of reasons for that. You were already a skilled player, a cosplayer, you already were with a big organization like Cloud9. Unlike many Vtubers that started completely in that world, you’re someone that already had an established audience as a traditional streamer. That odd type of content might be gamechanging. Gaining her perspective on Vtubing showed me it was so much more than I initially thought. She became Head of Coaching and Coach Operations at Training Grounds before departing in March 2021 to pursue streaming, Vtubing and other opportunities, taking a hiatus from League of Legends. She has also worked as staff with Cloud9 to create their flagship youth program, Training Grounds.
#C9 VIENNA VTUBER PROFESSIONAL#
Vienna is a streamer and content creator, first signed to her organization as a professional League streamer dedicated to educational content as a masters ADC player. When I talked with Cloud9 Vienna, my opinion changed. However, there was no chance it'd be anything more than a passing fad. I could see a certain ironic appeal to it, or even it being a fun novelty. Though I've been a fan of anime for most of my life, something about people masquerading as virtual characters just wasn't my fancy. Vtubing has always been a bit too weird for me.
