Some of you might remember I made a post a couple months back where I calculated her frequency of Apex streams from the past 3 months, where it ended up with about a 35% frequency, and 20% if not counting tournament weeks (i.e normal schedule)
Well, I did it again just now since the past 3 months have felt like hell honestly speaking. Last time I made the post I didn't mind Apex streams but I can't stand them anymore. I guess it's all the schedule hell on top that really made me despise Apex streams, as she will never ever second doubt streaming Apex, the moment she feels like Apex stream then it is 100% Apex stream but if it's literally anything else, she is hesitant and second guesses herself to the point of delaying and cancelling streams indefinitely.
Personal feelings aside, I was surprised to find we're still at around a 36% frequency. Weird, because it feels like much more than that.
Then I remembered that in every tournament from this time, she's skipped streaming scrim days at least one or two days each tournament, she also kept popping up in Aim's stream, fucking her sleep schedule and potential streams as well. Then there's the few days she said she would stream but ended up doing radio silence and posting Apex clips at 4AM. One example off the top of my head is one of the mengens she delayed for a whopping 4 days straight.
Take it as you will, but technically speaking this would easily increase the frequency of Apex streams, or Apex blocking possible activities to 40%. If not more. We're closing in to half Apex now, with essentially no guarantee of anything else without going through the schedule grinder.
There's a rising trend, and I'm not so sure anymore I want to stay and watch it. I kept lying to myself for the past months saying that she'll get back to form and we'll go back to the glory days with great variety in content, solid delivery and working hard to bring great entertainment to fans. Remember the times around Fes2 and Bloom? It was really good. The frequency of Apex was fairly high for sure, but it wasn't anything ridiculous. There was a little something for everyone. Little to no risk of getting baited, shit was good.
I think it's time to accept that Matsuri has changed. For the better or worse? Depends on the viewer I guess. But she clearly has new goals and different priorities in mind now, as well as a completely different work ethic. It's not the same Matsuri I fell in love with way back. I hope she meets her newfound goals of course, but I'm quickly losing interest in watching it play out.
