In the same year, Bakugo opened a YouTube channel, and in 2016, he transformed into a game live host and founded a Twitch channel, where he broadcasted the content of his game play to the audience on the platform, because of his humorous style and wonderful gameplay. The performance quickly attracted the attention of many fans. Although Bakugo became the live broadcaster, he still did not forget his old line of work. This year, he launched the “RSLeague” event, hoping to give players who specialize in this project a stage to play.
