In recent months, ASMR has become quite a popular term on international streaming platforms, especially Twitch.tv. Its rise to fame is largely due to the severe backlash it has received from the streaming community and viewers, facing multiple boycotts and criticism on Twitch.tv.
Despite facing backlash and boycotts in the gaming and streaming community, G2 Esports recently launched its product combining League of Legends and ASMR.
Some believe that the goal of the “jester of the LEC” is to share the changes in the latest patch of League of Legends in a more “pleasant to hear and see” way. However, it remains to be seen how much attention the community pays to the update, as interaction seems to center around the ASMR audio.
Contrary to the intense reactions and boycotts on Twitch.tv, G2 Esports’ ASMR content has received quite a bit of support and encouragement from another segment of gamers. Many are even curious about when G2 Esports will release the ASMR version of “Giang Văn Cốt” – Jankos.
The main character, whose voice created this “ASMR League of Legends” is G2 Yuli – a female streamer from G2 Esports. She became well-known in the LEC community for her humorous reactions after Jankos’ “blind” turret dive. When joining G2 Esports, her image was still quite “innocent,” but with these ASMR contents, the community has had a different perspective on G2 Yuli.
