Gold Squad Member and actress Andrea Brillantes revealed her struggles in pulling off her first Gaming Live Stream.
In an interview for ABS-CBN Entertainment’s new series, Click Like Share, Brillantes shared how she struggled setting up the live stream.
“Sa totoo lang po, hindi po ako marunong sa mga techie na stuff po. Wala pa yung live stream hirap na po ako. Wala pa po yung live stream hirap na po akong magsetup ang daming kailangan i-download, ang daming kailangan i-set up, ang daming kailangan ayusin.”
Brillantes also admitted feeling nervous in setting up her first live stream because of the criticism online.
“Tapos ginawa ko na yung first live stream kabadong kabado po talaga ako. Kasi ayaw ko po talaga nag-lilive stream kasi bilang artista ang dami na agad mag-cocomment na artista lang ang pangit hindi marunong maglaro.”
Despite the struggles, the number of viewers on her live stream went beyond her expectations.
“Tapos ito po yung malala, inexpect ko lang po na aabot lang ng 20K-30K pinaka-highest na.”
“Tapos nung natapos na sabi ko, “hay tapos na.” Tapos pagtingin ko ng views umabot po ako ng 470 plus and sobrang thankful po ako.”
However, among the viewers and fans of her streams, she still received criticisms from her gameplay which made her cry and seek comfort from her mother.
“Tapos ang pagkakamali ko tumingin po ako sa comments, tapos ang dami nilang sinabi na mag regen ako, pero umuwi, basta ang dami. Tapos tumakbo po ako, tapos umiyak lang po ako sa mama ko. As in umiiyak ako the whole time. Sabi ko, “Ma, feeling ko napahiya talaga ako. Nahihiya talaga ako.”
When asked if she would do live streaming again, Brillantes said, “Malaking bayad po para mapa-oo ako. Ayaw ko na ulit, nahihiya po talaga ako.”
Just this May 22, Brillantes’ Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team faced off with gamer Ako Si Dogie’s team in 515 E-Party MLBB All-Star show match.
