She did an oopsie by adressing the trolls, like people here were saying getting carried this season is no bragging right and she should've moved on from this after hitting pred but it seems we're in for another round of shitposting

On one hand I can see why this would be upsetting. Just a personal rrat so don't go treating it as gospel like every /vt/ post apparently, but I wouldn't be surprised if she became more desperate to prove herself as having potential after how poorly VSaikyo went compared to how well she did in scrums. Additionally, if she pulls her weight, who gives a shit if she's queueing with pros? Pred is top 750 players, do people expect her to soloQ that shit? Who's on that pred-level in the English Vtuber sphere that she could queue with instead? Most of that tier either doesn't know English, or knows it to some extent but might have issues with comms. Legitimately the only person I can think of ATM is Dtto/Qu-chan. In addition, these kinds of collabs are an opportunity to expand her connections in the Western pro scene, which could be extremely crucial in a potential scenario where she'd want to do what Shibuya Hal does in the west (pretty sure she already mentioned wanting to host customs).
On the other hand, the way this is written does make it feel like she's treating this more seriously than she should; I get she really wants to see that pred again, but I hope she's at least aware that people aren't gonna hold the one this season with as much respect, especially with how absolutely disastrous the launch was. That and, you know, don't encourage people to keep going by falling for bait and giving them attention.
One exception is his mate beatMARIO
Related clip of beatMARIO making a surprise appearance at a Lazulight karaoke stream as a late birthday gift to Pomu:
Watch the full stream, it's really entertaining and wholesome. In case you don't know who's beatMARIO, he was
extremely influencial at the peak of Touhou's fandom/indie circle popularity, making Touhou remixes as COOL&CREATE/part of IOSYS.
Also, from what I've seen from Ito Life, he seems like a chill dude. Translations/clips have some coomer content, but clips/translations usually cherrypick that kinda thing since people click on those. He is known for NSFW doujins though, so I guess watch out for that.
