She is, she got into the game recently, Aqua was also talking about how good she was, how she asked for tips to get better then went hard at work to improve herself.
@@doob626 this felt like a repeat of the mario kart tournament. where Suisei got insanely good in such a short time. i think whenever there's a tournament of some sorts Suisei just goes absolute all out with practice and then ends up become top tier in a short time frame. such drive is very admirable
Man, I think everyone is going to upgrade themselves. I don't mean they were weak before, but after seeing Aqua's plays and feeling the scrim atmosphere when she's there, they're so motivated to catch her. Of course, other higher level players like vgori, astel, hinano, chiichan, pakael, kana kuzu, and noah have an impact on player motivation as well. Vsaikyo this time is hype 🔥
yea i hope aqua's presence in the event will like boost everyone's skills and i also hope that aqua gets friends after the event like how most of the participants there met each other
Thats what im saying before too lol....some of this vtubers are first time fore to see....guess there are good and bad effects of aqua joining this time.Its like they somewhat have collab with aqua....hope hololive fans be respectful in their chats
@@princepyre she'll got one, although it's not a friend yet, but she reacted to clip of ichinose uruha said that she's strafing so hard, its in this clip too the kanae's team vs aqua, and I hope from that point she reaches out other vtuber agency, I know she had friends in Nijisanji, but I haven't heard Vspo with her probably i just didn't know. But still it makes me happy for them
@@kuackw currently we have matsuri, towa, and winning son who have collaborated with vspo on apex, so there is a chance, let's hope she overcome her fear of joining tournaments or playing apex with others
@@kuackw Even if she doesn't reach out directly, Towa and Uruha are pretty close friends so Towa could easily be a nice middle cushion and the primary inviter for them to trio play apex without it being too much for Aqua too.
When StartEnd announced the team I randomly thought "Wouldn't it be funny if they decided not to turn on comms during the game to make it feel like random lobby lmao" But if they do that they might get shredded immediately because everyone else is on comms XD
This is the stuff I enjoy as a fan of customs and apex. A literal perfect team for Aqua to feel comfortable and allow her to adapt at her own pace and than show her crazy mechanics. Let her build her confidence on the first few days playing with Towa as IGL so she doesn't feel overwhelmed and distracted. Now that she has some experience and the confidence of playing so well that she is main IGL with Towa secondary calling. You absolutely love to see it.
Actually what I heard in Towa and Aqua stream, Towa is still more like the igl because she's commanding Suisei and Aqua too.. Aqua also said that sometime she's didnt realize that she's playing too aggressive and going too far from the team, so Towa always called her and put her back. But I hope she's built that confidence and become good igl, with a little help from Towa of course 😏🔥
It's not about Aqua being not confident or being too overwhelmed/distracted. Aqua admitted to sometimes just doing what she feels to be doing before relaying to her teammates about it, that's why she passed the IGL to Towa.
No wonder for someone who got 10pt with Master rank, her skill is no joke. Glad she decided to participate in the tournament. At first I thought it was a risk to participate without a coach, but now I know what she meant. Like ShibuyaHAL said, she must be awesome to be in Master without a coach at all. She know how to learn and of course, the game sense.
@@madeupalias1667 I don't think so. If there had been a coach, I think she would have improved a lot more than she does now. At least she can talk to strangers when she's in the game, lol. I guess her desire to win led her to play by herself, so she used her main, Wraith. If there was a coach, she probably would have picked a different character, but her aim and character control was already at the best state, so it doesn't matter. Perhaps the problem is there is no time to learn in short period to maximize the skills of the character she would choose other than now, so the decision to choose Wraith is the right one. Just imagine if she left her Wraith, or unlocked another secret skill that she didn't know before from training arc with the coach. A new monster would be born.
@@arcza1311 If she switches out of Wraith, I’d probably be Ash since her Ash play is just as good as her Wraith. Most of the coaching honestly would’ve gone to Suisei to get her up to speed and have her pick a good champion for her (it seems she has settled on Valkyrie). TBH - the coach wouldn’t help them much other then help them craft a tournament-specific strategy (choosing landing spot, rotation timings for certain bubbles, counter-play when knowing who you are facing, etc.) for their team and help Suisei in game sense, since I feel her mechanical skill is decent as her FPS play from other games helps her out. That said, I think the big reason there is no coach is because this will be Aqua’s only APEX tournament appearance ever. And it’s doubtful Suisei may play in another tournament as well (she’s only on the team because of Aqua.) So it makes it hard for a coach to come in for only a 2-3 week period. Oh, and these are all things that Towa can do on her own already as the experienced tournament player of the three.
@@arcza1311 having someone to determine the method you are playing is the exact opposite of solo master. From being solo to have a coach to synergize the team will definitely make her concious about everything, and it will definitely affect her performance. The fact that until this point Aqua didnt want to participate in any tourney is saying something about her being hard solo player.
there's so many expectations, i hope they won't get pressured too much, for the fans please be mindful of your behavior on other streamer live chat, let's just support them n let them have fun cause this will be their first n last tournament thank u for your hard work on translating n clipping these streams 💞
@@Satan-xm4cg Aqua & Suisei have said it will be their first & last tournament (though Aqua has also said she may change her mind in the future, but for now it's gonna be the last one)
@@Satan-xm4cg Well both of them are really not the type to play in tournament. Like aqua i know she want to try but you know its aqua right? She is not the type that can play with other than holomem. And suisei is the type of girl that love challenge but too lazy to this kind of thing lol😂.
They will get pressured no matter no what, by: -Haters -Backseaters -The teams/watchers who will judge their gameplay. -teams who will improve because they got inspired by them. They can't evade these. It is a matter of how will they handle such pressure.
I don’t know what’s more impressive, them winning twice in a row or Suichan getting kill Master during the second round (ノ°ο°)ノ She’s becoming a force to be reckoned with in such a short amount of time xD
Sometimes ago she said that she actually practice looting a lot, so that people will not be bored with her looting slowly 😂 Guess that one really worked for her.
Real got chills watching them, there is also one moment before kanae clip, where aqua hits 2 people with kraber Hicuchi Kaede POV's ua-cam.com/video/ZkOwJ2CMnSA/v-deo.html
I really have to agree with Matsuri that Suisei is the most impressive bc she can keep up with a tourney veteran Dia (Towa), and a Master player. She's improving at a crazy pace. And Aqua's strafing was genuinely crazy. Everyone is so hyped, and feeling competitive which is gonna make this V-Saikyo amazing. Can't wait for it!
Kanae shoots wraith and it strafes too dodge Kanae: “help me here plz” I wonder what Kanae thought as soon as he saw aqua strafe and almost dodged his whole R99 clip bcuz he called for help/back up immediately
8:06 Hahaha man I love it ! When you're tap straffing so hard that it need two people (experienced apex player fyi) to take you down, WITH A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT. Now that some pure skill right there. All those time she spent grinding on ranked.... Man, aqua really has became so much stronger...
It's ironic to hear kanae say that's what happens when you spend 1k hrs on the game lmao. I don't think there are that many strafers at that level. I watch Timothy(a pred) and his sense is also quite different even in pred. It really says a lot about the level between pred and master too. Sometimes non existant and sometimes so far apart
It's actually more than 2 people. At that moment, Aqua was fleeing from other squads too. She was alone running around (and even got a down with point blank kraber lol) with other 4 squads battling each other.
Aqua just did short stream, I think it is mainly to inform her fans to not be rude in other vtuber streams. Please do not mention Aqua name or Hololive team if it is not mentioned by the streamers. Edit: I think Uruha at the end said "ten thousand hours", not one million
@@hydraulicpress439 yeah chat are sometimes rude asf they always forgetting the etiquette, if they want to support other team they can silently watch and not comment.
Towa: "hey guys im bring new team for this tournament" Suisei & Aqua: "Its our first time, nice to meet you" Everyone: "so this time bring new player" After match: Everyone: "did she really new?" "Really its first time?" "I think they too strong"
She hates losing (especially when there are teammates relying on her), so she definitely was grinding either matches or aim practice to get ready for the tourney
I really hope they win the tournament, partially because they’re hololive and I’m a huge fan, and mainly because they have truly been working so hard behind the scenes
It's gonna be difficult but maybe hololive and be like love live and have plot armor. We all can dream right. But let's get to the truth. There are a lot of good players. V gorilla himself can take on 2 players easily by himself. Aqua might be able to but she isnt as good as v gorilla in the times she routed against him thus far.
It is nice if they win. But other team also have their fans and they also work hard 😅. Let's just enjoy the show, it is a big festival with 60 vtubers+1
Minato Aqua vs Virtual Gorilla were fun to watch. She mentioned that she wasn't good in using wingman. Now, she improves so much with it. Aqua gets stronger again. She is becoming more scary than Soloq Master rank grind.
Aqua’s tap strafe at 8:04 was so good. I don’t know how many times tap strafing like that has saved my ass or atleast prologned the fight to where my team could back me up. Seriously its super useful.
Out of curiosity.. what's that about her strafing? Strafing was pretty common on CS when I played it a long time ago (not sure about it now).. is there anything different with it in Apex that warrants such high praise?
@@sorahow287 normal strafing is moving left and right. But tap strafing in apex involved multiple inputs while jump sliding to change directions without delay. Its pretty hard to master in high level play even though u can do it properly in the firing range or during downtime. It takes a lot of muscles memory and mechanical skill to pull movement techs like tap strafing while in a actual tourney fight. If u want more details or see what it looks like u can look up apex tap strafing guides.
@@sorahow287 unlike normal air strafing, tap strafing basically enables you to change directions almost immediately & also without losing momentum (unlike air strafing where if you turn too fast or too much it will slow you down). This enables you to turn 90° or even 180° mid air without losing speed, making it very hard to hit you. Tap strafing in itself isn't hard, but utilising it in a way that its beneficial in a fight is, especially in a high pressure situation where you would probably focus on your aim and the enemy rather than your movement or how hard to hit you are.
@@sorahow287 it should be noted that a settup you can do to tap strafe, is to set a free spinning scroll wheel to w. It does single forward inputs rapidly, to the point that you can do a full jump slide off a ledge, do a 360 tap strafe, and land back on the ledge you jumped off, while losing no momentum.
Man, you're so frickin good. Collecting all these reaction in rather split it out. Hope you put some neoporte too, its also interesting reaction from them. But, thank you Zoro! hope you can still cover all these unofficial scrim man! cheers!
Man Startend really strong! So good to see aqua get praised so much, but you really need to give it to gorilla thou he almost 1v3 them, sasuga predator
Well not really. Gorilla at most could down Sui-chan after Towa, and Aqua is still fresh full armor and hp. Still amazing though, he still managed to down Towa and almost kill Sui-chan in 1 vs 3 situation.
@@leandroiuki4337 Not with Aqua around. There's a reason Astel compared her to Gorilla. And Aqua too can be a predator if she has the time and she's not busy idoling.
@@prajnadeva He DID down Suisei and also hit Aqua with a headshot with the wingman so she was not full. His best bet would've been to kill Aqua first but there was no way for him to know.
@@Grimmiq That, and all 3 of them weren't in best form to stream because of busy schedule and stuff, so they decided to just focus on the scrims, never thought that they would be highlighted as much as now
I know she said she doesn't plan to play any other tournaments... But I REALLY wanna see Aqua play the CR Cup when it rolls around again. I really wanna see how she does at that level.
Yeah Suisei was definitely at Dia IV level and Towa higher than Dia IV. I think right now if Hal scores them it would be Aqua-10 pts, Towa-6 pts and Suisei-5 pts.
Towa is worth 7 now, Suisei is currently worth 4. Towa probably won't hit Master even though her Gibby play is definitely at that level just because she's generally too busy to grind high level ranked play. Suisei has a high likelyhood of hitting Diamond though.
This makes me so proud. Towa sama, suisei and aqua are a scary team. I actually cried at seeing their reactions. Is this what parents feel like when their child succeeds? All these people did great as well though but back to back wins in this competition of strong opponents? Impressive!
The hype is real, Aqua finally able to showcase her skill in an actual tournament. Also Gorilla needs to chill, he managed to down both Towa and Suisei in that dome fight damn(also clean headshot flick at 2:46). *Couldn't agree more when Matsuri said "this Hoshimachi point is scam point", I thought Aqua's team was fair at first since Suisei's gold but her skill level is definitely above that LOL.
@@Artemuscldye He took down Towa and Suisei also did 76 damage to Aqua. Look at his POV damage before he goes down. It's at 1899 but his damage in the score screen is 1952 meaning he did the last 53 of Suisei's hp right as he went down with a headshot. Theres a reason why Meika said he took 2 down with him. You can argue whether that's close to 1v3ing but he still did extremely goodl while getting shot at by Aqua of all people.
StartEnd built like those underdog teams in E-sport documentaries complete with the returning legend (Aqua), the tournament mainstay (Towa) and the Rookie (Suisei) characters
I haven't played any FPS games for like 10 years, so I don't know shit about Apex... but seeing Aqua at 5:36 pull off a cold-blooded move like that is very satisfying.
Well what else to do? It was final ring, he is alone, final 2 teams, his ammo and supply is low, and it is just practice anyway. Best bet is to go in while they haven't fully recover from fighting Mesher team.
suisei is good but what is best is how much she hates to lose, she doesn't want to be the weak link in the team and trained probably like crazy within the little time she have I have 300 hours on apex, on a casual note still I'd say suisei is probably close to if not better at shooting than me, her rampage shots are impressive, I'm still afraid of that weapon because of how inconsistent it gets against high level movements it's good that towa and aqua is such good callers and hoshimati can just go wild with her guns and do what she can best, killing.
Poor Gorilla-san bullied by the Onee-san... Love how winning son called them Onee-san team. Why is he in Matsuri's team VC anyway? xD Scam point lol. Sasuga Suicopath! She's killin' it 😆
@@Jeezo yeah both Selen and Aqua are really good and commendable. Though if i had to judge, Aqua is definitely better. Their Aim and reaction time is about the same skill level, but if in terms of movement techs, Aqua dominates by a lot, and she can maintain her great aim while doing her movement tricks. Also, they both have quite different playstyles, in serious matches like rank, Selen is quite a defensive/passive type of player, while Aqua is the aggressive type. Being aggressive is risky but she makes up for it with her good decision making skills and reaction time.
Suisei got a strong impulse for the "kill" ; Sasuga Psychopathic Suisei Some people from FPS/PVP called it "Berserker" type of players, like he/she risk and "All in" for the kill. But the disadvantages are they way too defense less and exposed, Good thing it's a 3 man team, Towa and Aqua can cover her weaknesses but that weaknesses can be a "Yabai" for the team in real tournament comes.
The way Ichinose described Aqua in confrontation at her Wraith. Is like she's describing a monster trying to reach her prey, and she's there, a guard in time to shoot without saying anything to not let one of her group die on a sudden kill rush.

Minato Aqua vs Virtual Gorilla were fun to watch.
She mentioned that she wasn't good in using wingman. Now, she improves so much with it.
Aqua gets stronger again. She is becoming more scary than Soloq Master rank grind.
Aqua’s tap strafe at 8:04 was so good. I don’t know how many times tap strafing like that has saved my ass or atleast prologned the fight to where my team could back me up. Seriously its super useful.
Out of curiosity.. what's that about her strafing? Strafing was pretty common on CS when I played it a long time ago (not sure about it now).. is there anything different with it in Apex that warrants such high praise?
@@sorahow287 normal strafing is moving left and right. But tap strafing in apex involved multiple inputs while jump sliding to change directions without delay. Its pretty hard to master in high level play even though u can do it properly in the firing range or during downtime. It takes a lot of muscles memory and mechanical skill to pull movement techs like tap strafing while in a actual tourney fight. If u want more details or see what it looks like u can look up apex tap strafing guides.
@@sorahow287 unlike normal air strafing, tap strafing basically enables you to change directions almost immediately & also without losing momentum (unlike air strafing where if you turn too fast or too much it will slow you down). This enables you to turn 90° or even 180° mid air without losing speed, making it very hard to hit you.
Tap strafing in itself isn't hard, but utilising it in a way that its beneficial in a fight is, especially in a high pressure situation where you would probably focus on your aim and the enemy rather than your movement or how hard to hit you are.
Thanks for the two answers~
@@sorahow287 it should be noted that a settup you can do to tap strafe, is to set a free spinning scroll wheel to w. It does single forward inputs rapidly, to the point that you can do a full jump slide off a ledge, do a 360 tap strafe, and land back on the ledge you jumped off, while losing no momentum.
Man, you're so frickin good. Collecting all these reaction in rather split it out. Hope you put some neoporte too, its also interesting reaction from them.
But, thank you Zoro! hope you can still cover all these unofficial scrim man! cheers!
Basically, Aqua Suisei Towa are always 'killin' in singing and concert.
Killing in APEX just their hobby.
Man Startend really strong! So good to see aqua get praised so much, but you really need to give it to gorilla thou he almost 1v3 them, sasuga predator
Well not really. Gorilla at most could down Sui-chan after Towa, and Aqua is still fresh full armor and hp.
Still amazing though, he still managed to down Towa and almost kill Sui-chan in 1 vs 3 situation.
For those who don't know, Vgorilla is predator rank. He can wipe a entire team.
@@leandroiuki4337 Not with Aqua around. There's a reason Astel compared her to Gorilla. And Aqua too can be a predator if she has the time and she's not busy idoling.
@@prajnadeva He DID down Suisei and also hit Aqua with a headshot with the wingman so she was not full. His best bet would've been to kill Aqua first but there was no way for him to know.
huge difference between knocking 2 in a 1v3 and almost winning it
a bit sad that they arent streaming the customs but its nice to see other vtuber's reaction to the team's performance
i see this as a strategy. so they wont know how StartEnd team comms
@@qb4097 I think they just don't want to stress Aqua out by having her be IGL in front of 20k+ viewers this early
@@Grimmiq That, and all 3 of them weren't in best form to stream because of busy schedule and stuff, so they decided to just focus on the scrims, never thought that they would be highlighted as much as now
i see no wrong in my point. its a strategy.
@@Grimmiq Towa mentioned that was just bcuz she wasn't feeling well
This team skill improvement are no joke at all. Specially Comet.
Just proud that our little Aqua, Towa-sama and Suisei got champion and everyone praised them.
切り抜きあざっす！
I just realized every team has a couch meanwhile startend doesn't have one
StartEnd getting recognition is so heartwarming
i really did not expect Sui-chan catching up to towa and akutan in terms of skill
i always got goosebump everytime i saw aqukin play apex.
I know she said she doesn't plan to play any other tournaments... But I REALLY wanna see Aqua play the CR Cup when it rolls around again. I really wanna see how she does at that level.
Thr first step people should behave in the chat and do not go to.other persons chat
That first champion was so good..
Yeah Suisei was definitely at Dia IV level and Towa higher than Dia IV.
I think right now if Hal scores them it would be Aqua-10 pts, Towa-6 pts and Suisei-5 pts.
Towa is worth 7 now, Suisei is currently worth 4. Towa probably won't hit Master even though her Gibby play is definitely at that level just because she's generally too busy to grind high level ranked play. Suisei has a high likelyhood of hitting Diamond though.
I just wanna say "They're my girl"
Towa : God dome
Aqua : 10pt
Suisei : her improvement is insane
This makes me so proud. Towa sama, suisei and aqua are a scary team. I actually cried at seeing their reactions. Is this what parents feel like when their child succeeds? All these people did great as well though but back to back wins in this competition of strong opponents? Impressive!
It's amazing how Suisei just started playing Apex a little more serious and she's already catching up .. 👌
星街、GTAの時と同じkill数稼いでて草
This is really pushing me to go back to watching tournaments bro
The hype is real, Aqua finally able to showcase her skill in an actual tournament. Also Gorilla needs to chill, he managed to down both Towa and Suisei in that dome fight damn(also clean headshot flick at 2:46).
*Couldn't agree more when Matsuri said "this Hoshimachi point is scam point", I thought Aqua's team was fair at first since Suisei's gold but her skill level is definitely above that LOL.
Gorilla is scary, but I am happy Startend could in the end take him down
God dam Gorilla almost won 1 v 3
Not even close. He only took down Towa after getting the jump on them after the fight.
@@Artemuscldye He took down Towa and Suisei also did 76 damage to Aqua. Look at his POV damage before he goes down. It's at 1899 but his damage in the score screen is 1952 meaning he did the last 53 of Suisei's hp right as he went down with a headshot. Theres a reason why Meika said he took 2 down with him. You can argue whether that's close to 1v3ing but he still did extremely goodl while getting shot at by Aqua of all people.
i hope all this hype they are getting doesn't get them targeted by all the other teams on future scrims and especially the tourney
now master wont be there in all apex collabs 😢
Aqua really plays like a Predator when using Ash or Wraith, also Suisei is really underank for her level
Rev? She barely even use that legend. She mostly uses Wraith, Ash and Horizon, which shes a beast at when using them.
StartEnd built like those underdog teams in E-sport documentaries complete with the returning legend (Aqua), the tournament mainstay (Towa) and the Rookie (Suisei) characters
The literal mighty ducks of vtuber ALGS
Ah yes 2018 OG
@@kizunarin2795 Ceb and Ana = Aqua, Notail and Jerax = Towa and Topson = Suisei
@@MidTechiesEnjoyer OG reference nice
I didn't expect sui chan that so good man 😂
I think if fairys-san can keep up with kanae and uruha their team will be as strong as aqua team
I haven't played any FPS games for like 10 years, so I don't know shit about Apex... but seeing Aqua at 5:36 pull off a cold-blooded move like that is very satisfying.
I kinda wanna play Apex man...
Maybe during my Year 1 semester break I will jump into the game
That last Valk was such a chad lmao. Using missile whilst flying away
All valks use missle and fly backwards though...
Much more of a Chad move if they used missle and then yeeted themselves towards the enemy
@@markaeresmanlangit9727 no shit, Sherlock.
guess what , i forgot entirely about this tournament ,and remember about it just today 🤦
gorilla is also the real deal going for a kill in a 3 vs 1
Fear the Gorilla that has nothing to lose LOL
Well what else to do? It was final ring, he is alone, final 2 teams, his ammo and supply is low, and it is just practice anyway. Best bet is to go in while they haven't fully recover from fighting Mesher team.
@@prajnadeva i see you don't understand my message, it's a compliment of how he do so well in a 3 vs 1
suisei is good but what is best is how much she hates to lose, she doesn't want to be the weak link in the team and trained probably like crazy within the little time she have
I have 300 hours on apex, on a casual note still I'd say suisei is probably close to if not better at shooting than me, her rampage shots are impressive, I'm still afraid of that weapon because of how inconsistent it gets against high level movements
it's good that towa and aqua is such good callers and hoshimati can just go wild with her guns and do what she can best, killing.
Ahhh this is almost perfect compilation.. neo porte got some good pov too...nevertheless arigathanks for the clips
Poor Gorilla-san bullied by the Onee-san...
Love how winning son called them Onee-san team. Why is he in Matsuri's team VC anyway? xD
Scam point lol. Sasuga Suicopath! She's killin' it 😆
They were missing a person and he's alone XD
I think Hoshikawa must leave early, and Roberu is alone.
Winning son solo scrim xd, sasuga he keep winning
Matsuri invited him midstream since hoshikawa ended her stream and went to sleep.
The gorilla fears the comet
The tetris master raining T-Spin level accurate rampage shots, sugoi 💙
Rewatching Aqutan's trophies...
AQUAAAAAA!! saikou
I love when people praise the gaming onion. She has and will always be my favorite gamer to watch
hoo..it's nice to see a purple dragoon (off-stream) team vs StartEnd. Will be a legend match between two titans.
Excuse me? Where can I watch this?
Which team was selen on? Any POV of her? I wanna watch
selen wasnt in this tourney though
@@Jeezo wasn't she a Predator before?
@@Jeezo yeah both Selen and Aqua are really good and commendable. Though if i had to judge, Aqua is definitely better. Their Aim and reaction time is about the same skill level, but if in terms of movement techs, Aqua dominates by a lot, and she can maintain her great aim while doing her movement tricks. Also, they both have quite different playstyles, in serious matches like rank, Selen is quite a defensive/passive type of player, while Aqua is the aggressive type. Being aggressive is risky but she makes up for it with her good decision making skills and reaction time.
プレイへの解説や感想面白い(^^)d
Suisei is really a jack of all trades.
gorilla trying to solo them tho, could also down suisei if aqua wasnt there
he actually did down Suisei but Aqua killed him right after
I think gorilla needs to down Aqua first because of her strafing and she is really good at reading the situation.
Suisei sure is competitive, she started Apex much later and is pretty good. Probably with time and experience she probably be better than aqua
Zorozaki are you gonna clip the champion highlight from these unofficial scrims? would be an interesting materials to watch
Sheeeeshhhhh
Truly sheeeeeeeesh
Played apex 1 millions hours lmaoo..
すいちゃんの成長速度おかしいでしょ笑
最近までゴールドだとは思えないわ
gorilla was actually nut in the first game, a 3v1 and he manage to knock towa and suisei
I wonder if anything interesting happened for the other three games they didn't take champ on.
エクスアルビオの反応がほんとに好き
普段こういう大会にホロメンでないから褒められてるのすごい嬉しい
Ok when is the tournament?? I need to clear my schedule for this
Official Scrims start at April 11-16 then actual tournament is at April 17
man seeing Aqua's movements from the enemies POV is crazy
i wanna emphasize that Kanae's IGL skill is so high. i cant even understand how he thinks like that. (ive been watching him lately)
Yeah
And his yesterday IGL is stone cold but in precision calls
Kanae is perfect for crypto
@@racaphrandomshitpost9788 hes got calm, precise and clear calls last night
tap strafe last fight strong!!!
Not gonna lie Gorilla's play in the first round in amazing, he put up a fight against a team of 3
Sasuga maid gamer and debiru
Ooohh…deron called suisui as suichan huh
Even with that 2 slot CAR still hard to take down the Tap Strafe Onion
People finally realizing Aqua is cracked makes me tear up.
aqutan without stream snipers? too op
SUISEI GOT 6 KILLS HOLY SHIT
Suisei got a strong impulse for the "kill" ;
Sasuga Psychopathic Suisei
Some people from FPS/PVP called it "Berserker" type of players, like he/she risk and "All in" for the kill. But the disadvantages are they way too defense less and exposed, Good thing it's a 3 man team, Towa and Aqua can cover her weaknesses but that weaknesses can be a "Yabai" for the team in real tournament comes.
Deron calls Suisei "Sui-chan" and chooses to watch from Suisei's POV. I didn't know they were such good friends.
8:32 yeah seriously i think that movement really omg, i rewatch that part many time like omg.
sasuga wraithakukin.
Yeah Kanae shooting 2 full mags aren't even enough to kill Aqua and had Nose to shoot as well.
@@leechking3884 true lol I was like wow she haven’t got kill with that 2 full mags lol really love to watch when she dodge bullet very satisfy 🙏
@@leechking3884 aqua didn't even have full shields lol
The way Ichinose described Aqua in confrontation at her Wraith. Is like she's describing a monster trying to reach her prey, and she's there, a guard in time to shoot without saying anything to not let one of her group die on a sudden kill rush.
watching StartEnd gimme ego boost lol
Aqua towa and sui lost the third clip
8:06 Aqua movement actually good
