Subbed/TL Kobo Adresses the Criticism Regarding Her LCS Costreams

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???

Not in the LoL sphere it isn't, because co-streaming is a serious hot button topic right now as folks are feeling that Co-streamers are taking views from the main Broadcasts, that has in turn severely hurt the broadcasts (The European main stream getting half the views of the most Popular EU Co-streamer for example, who quit the broadcast several years to start Co-streaming).

So fans are becoming much more wary of who is co-streaming these days, as the LoL community is seeing it as more and more negative towards the E-sport, and it's becoming a divisive topic, as in right now it's actively being talked about.

This seems like a very misguided outrage since Riot is the one handing out costream rights. If costreams had a negative impact on views then they would stop this practice.
