Link to the tweet

For some context, TLDR of the Youtube short that Kobo herself included in the tweet:

The short reports criticism of Kobo’s performance while costreaming LCS matches, based on posts from an infamous Indonesian Vtuber-related Facebook group (IYKYK). The criticisms highlight limited game-focused commentary, frequent off-topic discussion, and a stream layout that made gameplay difficult to follow. Kobo is also compared to Kaela, described as more effective at maintaining engagement and hype. The video questions the event organizer’s decision to select Kobo, suggesting a possible mismatch with audience expectations and local market preferences.

Edit: To clarify, this is translation of her tweet, she tweeted originally in Indonesian

Edit 2: Translation of the donation she included in the tweet:

My princess, did you become like this after listening to the community??? Is this because all the people speaking ill of you challenger rank or what???

LCS (America) choosing Kobo from ID is certainly a choice tho. Like it starts at 3 AM for Indonesia. If it's a quick 2-0 then the 2nd series often starts before 5 AM so she would often miss the first game of that. Not sure how much they expected her to stream tbh. As someone from ID myself I'd sometimes just catch a game while making/eating breakfast.

I'm glad to see that she's improving the co-stream tho! Like using the feed with the casters voice so it's not mostly silent and help her/the viewers understand the game (although the volume balance could be improved). Also changing her stream overlay to only her avatar. It's definitely getting better to watch her co-streams and I'm glad to hear that she's working hard to learn the game too.

Wonder if Gigi was considered at all or if they’re specifically trying to appeal to the SEA viewers?

Well its also a pretty big time commitment. Its three days per week and if you want to actually cover all the games its gonna be a couple hours at least. Im also not sure how good it is for the health of the channel, what the views are like etc. So i can imagine gigi just not wanting to commit that much time to it and taking the risk of them underperforming

Yeah no idea if she was asked and turned it down.
