You guys are delusional holy shit
>>16021625>The "hardcore gamer" thing was something she picked up to stand out from other Holos as she thought she had nothing of her own early on, so she decided to really practice some difficult games in order to get good at them in order to stand out. Source: your ass
>>16021653>Now let me ask you back, if you promised someone you will visit them at a certain date next year, then the day before the promised day you are involved in an accident and needed to spent weeks in the ICU, are you now just a shell of what you had been?How is it a good comparison to what happened here?
Miko had Mikorone 24h a few days before the tournament and placed 5th, better than Aqua.

>>16025228 said, she ran away from the competition. Want a better comparison? There's a Dota 2 player called Ame. He was 2nd place during the World of Dota 2 in 2018. He came back in 2019 and placed 3rd. Then in 2021 he finally won.
>But Aqua isn't an esport player, she's an idolSui-chan was in the Zako cup in the first Mario Kart tournament and was so frustrated she trained and won the tournament in 2021. She remembered her frustration from the previous year. Aqua could've done the same, but no she forgot her frustration and ran away instead.
It doesn't fucking matter that her dream is become an idol if she doesn't do it the right way. It's like starting a company. It's not about the idea, but the execution. Aqua had a big fanbase who started watching her because of her gaming stream, myself included. I used to make fun of AKBfag and idolfag in general but I went full idolfag on her first Sololive for the first time in my life.
Juggling between streaming and training/making idol content is important because the origin of her fanbase is gaming. Hololive wasn't even an idol agency when she debuted.
The only reason Sui-chan, Subaru and others can do both streaming and idol activities is because Aqua is weak and doesn't realize what she needs to do to reach her dream. She went from one of the most popular Hololive idol (if not the most popular) in 2020 to whatever she is right now.
Her recent original song has less views than Aquairo Palette last year in the same timeframe, her 3D live from November has less views than Kanata's, Marine made fun of her because she played Resident Evil Village in easy, Akukin Kensetsu was renamed Nenekin Kensetsu and yesterday she didn't qualify for the Winner Cup in the Mario Kart tournament.
She's objectively at a worse position to become an idol compared to last year and you don't need a doctorate in marketing to know that streaming less is the reason.
