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. 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.
