in contrast i think that was pretty sad, i hope this extremely fun content can remind people that there is no point in arguing which dps character is better or worse because those characters individual number means nothing when they go up against a bad matchup, himeko looks UNSURPRISINGLY Godly while kafka looks Understandably bad used in 2nd phase, it matters not what "tier" a carry is as long as the team built correctly and you put that team in the correct match up any carry can get u through moc 10.
@@FrozenCappuccino I won't dispute that any individual can get you though MOC 10 if they are well built enough with a well made team. But there certainly is a point in looking at who does it easier and faster in a pvp format. Himeko was absolutely a boss here, despite her atrocious rating power-wise. But that is mainly because she is the "only" fire dps at this stage of the games release. Once we get someone who can compete with her on a weakness type basis she will no longer be the pick in situations like this as a first choice at all. It's the nature of relative strength and size of niche decreasing.
WOW! Thanks again for having me!🥰 I worked on this tournament for 3 days straight, brainstorming various team compositions for the Moc10 and developing strategies for the ban&pick phase.🙈😅 But I had so much fun doing that. Props to the impressive runs by MrPokke, GachaSmack and TimaeuSS!👍👍💥💥
The creativity of this idea brought into fruition bringing the gacha community together is dope as hell. Volkin & Grimro W👏🏼👏🏻 S/O Timaeuss for organizing the tournament!
As a Himeko main, I was happy. That's why I always tell people to play their waifu/husbando, this is a single player game and you ain't gonna impress anyone.
if you don't play your main dps with good support, I am sorry to inform you that you are playing the game wrong. I got the same support myself(no bronya lc unfortunately) and i have been destroying Moc with Himeko since forever.@@UOHCUNY
also for a 4 stars friendly team, you can use asta instead of bronya and fire MC. You will still clear Moc to get the full loot. There is no excuse in this game.@@UOHCUNY
@@funnyanime368 Why I did it instead?? Because I spent all my Jades to pull Himeko in the Standard Banner lol But I got enough jades to pull Silver Wolf after 2 weeks
asta light cone ban seems like a really good ban pick, as it bans tingyun + jing yuan, bronya + blade or bronya + sampo, yukong + welt, and asta + himeko
I loooove this type of content! Congratulations!!! Great editing and reeeeally fun! Hope to see more videos like this and now I’m going back to the game to build my Himeko❤
I suggest you watch himeko guide build from ayadreamy. They have made plenty videos of 0cycles himeko there. Whats amazing is that no e6s5 characters (only some 4*s) there. Their 0cycles by far the most possible for us f2p to achieve in future
This was such an intense and interesting video. I was on the edge of my seat this entire time. I hope you upload more and do more of these type of things when you can, you were a very good caster. In the future would y’all give a minute to each team after picks and band just to hear their opinions about what their game plan is and such? I was really missing hearing the team players give any comment before and after their runs and Ect. I just think it’ll be closer to a real sports tournament like that. Just my opinion though.
This is sucha great idea for the community. Thank yall! I think somebody already mentioned it but a neutral account/s for the future would be amazing, we would see who picks what teams and how they play them, ideally tho it d be an account with all 5*s and 4*s so we can see as much versatility as possible. I dunno if that would be too far but also maybe a system that would balance out using 4*s could be interesting too(which d maybe inspire evne more versatility), I dont know what exactly, but either something that rewards you with better gear (e.g. under normal circumstances 5*LC would be banned but for each 4* character on team you are allowed to use one 5*s LC) or better time - so like every 4* on team means -1 MOC cycle. Either way this is an exciting project no matter where yall take it!
Damn this was a really great video. The idea of a PvP tournament was very creative. You did a great job Volkin in casting. I'm curious if you ever did something like this before? It must be a little anxiety inducing having to always know what to say next. A suggestion for the next video if there is another one of this is maybe get a little interview of the players before and after the match. I would love to hear the ideas and thought processes as they choose/ban their characters as well as how they plan on success with their teams.
great suggestion, already passed it on along with the idea of showing gear sets. As for casting, never done it before but not stressfull coz if i dont know what to say then i just ramble shit and try to sound intelligent 😂 Plus Grimro was great at it and he carried me hard in the casting
LOL rambling to sound intelligent I love it! Oh yeah he was a great shout casting buddy. He always threw you into the conversation with questions to get your thoughts running, very thoughtful of him@@VolkinYT
Dude, dude, dudeeee I LOVED THIS! THANK YOU all so much for making this happen. This type of content makes me even more hyped for this wonderful game. I know it must take a TON of effort, but plz I hope we get more of this and more often
This was amazing! I would love a quick overview of character builds nothing too crazy just seeing the lightcones equiped and their general relic/planar sets. I need to see that Himeko build❤
i really really really like the idea i loved it and i am glad to see my favorite creators show up and do their best for the win and also give some spotlight and love to some characters xDD ..and i discovered some new creators that look cool, good stuff, i wanna point out somthing tho since probably some ppl could get the wrong idea if we look at that from the farness point of view, the whole tournament idea is kinda not fair and not valid in these type of games to begin with, because a game like star rail wasn't made and not at all suitable for pvp torment, but the whole goal behind this idea is just having fun and having a good time solely for that reason alone for both the content creators for competing with each other and for us seeing this competition. .....and the outcome sometimes is soo good, making content creators think carefully on their choices and their situation while playing and learning from them while they do that, this alone is amazing, also discovering characters' true potential and their true niche and the most important thing between all of them is making the community more united and give some content creators more spotlight. ... if i wanna be strict i can rn make a big list that didn't have less than 50 unfairness/b2w sold points about that whole tournament but all of the ppl involved in that tournament are just involved for fun and for having a good time and new ppl to meet and they are ok for the tournament being like that and non of them take it seriously at all. so don't worry my friends everything is good here but i actually think if we let them do 2 bans at the beginning and then let the contestants pick their first 4 characters then the last ban .. like this i feel it will give players more choices and it will make it more fair.
Great idea but I feel like when there’s enough characters to do so the draft phase should just adopt league’s drafting system to allow more strategic drafting
Finally Himeko is getting love, she was my first five star and hard carried me back then, i always thought when people called her trash they've havent really tried properly.
Feels like the ban order is wrong. First pick should have to ban first, having last ban is super strong when paired with first pick, in addition to that it would feel much fairer to have to show a little bit of your Strat with your first ban.
I feel like team 2 will have greater control on drafting phase. Team 1 first ban is as random as you can get, there aren’t any information regarding the opposite team ban. Even when team 1 decide to not give a damn thing about team 2 ban and only ban a specific line up, let’s say, bailu and natasha, team 2 can react by banning gepard and immediately pick luocha. Making the other team to not have any sustain at all. Another example, team 1 ban bronya and tingyun. Team 2 can ban yukong and immediately pick SW or Asta. On the other hand, team 2 can ban a very specific line up (e.g: 2 harmony or 2 healers), even when team 1 react by banning another harmony/healer, team 2 will still have greater advantage since they can pick first (hence also banning team 1) Great video though.
I think Silver Wolf is such a staple unit that it almost feels as if she's a waste of a ban space. This probably won't happen, but if I were to vote for someone to be gentlemen's/legacy banned out of this tournament, it'd be her. But that's just my opinion.
MrPokke out here copying Dreamy's Himeko + Harmonies stratt. Though, well done! Imma try some variations of this as well in the future when my Himeko is built. Especially if they release characters that improve her followup's or breaks. Maybe even new relics.

Was Himeko running full break effect? That damage was incredible!!
Amazing commentary, thanks for having me! - this message was brought to you by the Winmeko gang.
Pokke you almost brought he cup home well done boy 😭😭❤❤
If this gets bigger I would love to see a neutral account that all competitors could share with the same gear/eidolons
without developer setup its impossible so its a longshot but would be epic

I honestly love this. Man I wish Gaccha could have gotten that 2 turn clear but I suspect that silverwolf ban really crippled him.
honestly just clearing with no heals or cleanse was an effort in itself
THIS BETTER BE SERIES!! IT'S SO GOOD WE NEED MORE SPONSORS!!

I was sleeping on Himeko holy hell that damage 💀
Why did i skip Jing yuan light cone
Having three support is always gonna boost like hell fr
The yr of himeko meta is here
it's a four characters team game, ofc anyone with a brain will use support for their main dps@@maejuse7601

Was a complete blast casting with you Volkin and really good job to all the contestants on the runs and teams!
Great video.. looking forward for more parts of this tournament with different creators and viewrs
Star Rail community shaping up to be one of the best! 💪
They have more tournaments like this..this game will be relevant for at least 5 years
Awesome vid ❤
see u next round mate 😉
This was amazing to watch! That healer ban was big brain haha
asta light cone ban seems like a really good ban pick, as it bans tingyun + jing yuan, bronya + blade or bronya + sampo, yukong + welt, and asta + himeko
I really enjoy watching these to see the creative options and potential possibilities units have
Any kind of pvp matchup that copies the CN Genshin Championship pick/ban phase is a huge W
Would love to see more competitions like this for HSR

@@Hydranox i just mean even a simple change where B1 doesn't ban last to dictate how many OPs are left and what they can first pick

solid idea
Holy shit this is so much fun to watch
The 5* character people said "the worst" somehow outdmg by blade dmg with bronya, nice
This was a fun watch, hope to see more
Yeah i’ma need to see a whole tournament asap!
That hyper carry himeko making me raise mine
Oh wow. Part 2 already? This is fun. I love it
yo yo yooo i respect your photo profile btw xDDDD
Bro these are so good i cant wait for more
this is sick!! more of this please!
Didn't know this is a thing, good community
Don't 👏 sleep 👏 on 👏 Himeko. I have her built (but still not fully) and she is an absolute beast, I managed to hit 100k+ in MoC.
This felt like the formula 1 of gatcha games, excellent comentary btw!
Such an cool video hope we get more 🙌
The league sound effect got me
love this idea, would love to see 1 or 2 of these every MoC cycle
Rly nice video. I was impressed by that himeko and the JY sub dps idea. Lol
You know it's been a while when Natasha is a number one ban lol
Keep making this tournament is so fun to watch!!!
Dang i wonder if the CC on bronya screwed up the himeko run on the last part
The General getting CC'd 🤣🤣🤣
That kicked so much ass and unexpected himeko wow!
These tournaments are incredible to watch.

I think Smack forgot that the DoT buff would be gone. That was the strongest weakest team
timaeuss tourna has been my favourite
"100%" VS "absolutely"
Though pokke's team still loses, I'm pretty sure TimauSS took 3 cycles to clear, not 2? So shouldn't their team's total count be 5 cycles?
That hyper Himeko was awesome.
sweet concept / video
Brother, I want in on the next one. This looks fun!
Is that a Shemira statue, fuck yeah! That was my first gacha.
haha yup
finally i can use e3 himeko from all those rate off
First time I seen phu not do 0 cycle clear
Wow amazing I’m so joining amazing ✌🏻😎
Take a shot every time volkin says a hundred percent
100%
big respect to Pokke. Pokke did great!
60k damage from 1 himeko follow up
Awesome video.
best video!! more please :D
mrpokke: the best defense is a crazy offense
I need to know the build on that Himeko lol but overall top tier idea it was fun to watch
