In any competitive game, your rank might not perfectly reflect your skill, but it’s one of the main ways other players judge your ability. Not everyone in a low rank is a bad player, but negative stereotypes definitely stick around. The term “noob” actually comes from the lowest rank in the game Gunbound. Recently, a beautiful streamer learned this lesson the hard way after dropping to Bronze rank in League of Legends and facing harsh criticism from her own fans who are also Bronze.
The main figure here is Seo Sae-bom, a well-known streamer on AfreecaTV. She’s stunningly beautiful with a fresh, schoolgirl vibe, but surprisingly she’s already 30 years old. In fact, Seo Sae-bom has even revealed she’s married. Despite her age, her fans haven’t turned their backs on her because she’s still passionate about gaming. She especially loves playing League of Legends and streams it with great energy. But it’s this very game that recently caused her some trouble.
Naturally, with her age, Seo Sae-bom’s reflexes and skills aren’t what they used to be. So it’s no surprise she’s been dropping ranks in League of Legends, recently falling all the way to Bronze. While this isn’t unusual, the community was shocked when a post appeared on a popular forum. Along with a screenshot of her rank, a Bronze-ranked player wrote, “It’s disgusting to think she’s on the same level as us now. I don’t want to be judged to have the same skill as Seo Sae-bom.”
This post sparked a heated debate online. Many defended Seo Sae-bom, while others insisted that rank says it all and a Bronze player is just a Bronze player, so there’s no point in comparing or competing over it.
