>>20076603nta, but gaming skill or the lack thereof is clearly not a hard selection criteria for Cover, given that most of the girls in general are quite subpar at actual gameplay.
And every small corpo talent or indie says they love their mates and their comfy community and their slow chat and whatever else copexcuses you can think of. And what else would they say? "I hate you guys, my genmates are worthless, my corpo is ngmi, and I'm just here to build experience in case my Holo application finally gets accepted"? Of course they can't say that (while most of them will still try to apply for Hololive behind the backs, as long as that is still the premiere venue and golden ticket in vtubing).
Don't know about Nene, she certainly has the skillset and quality to get in (tbf I was not impressed by HoloEN's second gen, and Nene would be an improvement over their slacking hiring standards), she may say she likes her "smaller" community, but I've seen enough sudden graduations of seemingly happy people ditching their previous gigs to not believe anything unequivocally, and if she got in she can mourn the loss of her slow chat by feasting on the $50k+ monthly income she could surely score in HoloEN which may change her mind
