I don't know how a competitive single-player tower defense game had me this invested, but keep them coming. That ending had me on the edge of my seat with how close it was

Its kinda surreal to see almost all big Arknights content creators participating in such an event. This is just insane

GG to team MZK and GG to Spiply and Tskami, Mizuki fangirls are the strongest types of doctors in Arknights, who knew

GGs to all the participants! Had so much fun casting this match!

Spiply’s Ebenholz kill on 14:04 made me want to invest in one holy moly. That one shot was godly

Holy shit, Spiply with the potato-ass computer and slow loading times, but pure skill wins it out in the end, absolute GG.

I did not expect e-sports AK, a game with no multiplayer modes at all, to work so well. I need more of this!

Super happy to have been a part of this while bringing home the win for MZK! GGs to Tskami and everyone else! Just ignore the accidental Schwarz pick in map three and look at the funny Mandra kill.

Watching this live at 2 AM after betting channel points on Spiply was a goddamn *experience.*

did no one noticed that Spiply used Schwarz when she was banned in R8-11*?

if spiply won round 3 her title would've been revoked so good for her that she lost that tight match (used schwarz when she was banned). what a great event to throw I'm definitely interested in challengers #2 when that comes around next month. I actually enjoyed these 2 announcers the most out of all the ones vifer had on. they had good banter, commentary, knowledge and hype. kudos to everyone!

Shoutout to the casters! the hype's great Edit - The final map being MN-EX-8 is also so poetic. Ending with a kazimierz map, a map of PvP tournament theme story. *Chef kiss

Congratz to MZK for winning the tournament, absolutely fun to watch But be prepare, IRS will return for that win, the golden age will return

This was a fun event to watch, the ban feature was a great thing to add so people can see operator that isn't OP/meta being used and see their potentials if they're being used right. Loking forward for Arknights Challengers 2 in the future

Watching this live yesterday was so hype. Can't wait to watch the next event!

hope there's more content like this, loved it

Its so close, its so much fun, please hope it become official

holy that was so close big props to both!

GGs to all the participants of this tournament.

Well done Vifer! Great exciting community event !!

Now this is the qual;ity content I susbcribed for, I never thought i'd see AK become competitive but you madlads pulled it off

I need more of this S tier content. Never thought I would see competitive AK :D

LETS GO MIZUKI FANCLUB!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone notice that scwartz ban? spiply still using it

This was amazing to watch!

Such a fun idea. Ty for hosting & organizing! :D

Man this is so awesome !

Nice content keep it up man ❤

dayum what a fight kudos to the peeps behind this, to the competitors, and the commentators as well this fight got me hanging on the edge of my seat 😘👌

Holy shit, this is insane!

Ebenholz is slept on, one of the most effective boss killers if you use him properly and with his Y module he's also a budget AOE caster, best boyyy

Pretty hype actually!

That final match was soooo goooooooood!!!!

Pozy clutching as always

love the arknights pvp content! Is there somewhere I can watch some of the other matches?

Damn you actually manage to make arknight pvp and it works

Arknights PVP is my new favourite sport lol. Spiply's last game was crazy.

Would love to see a post win interview. Would be cool

I never expected that a tower defence eSports will be so exciting 🤩🤩 Every second of the tournament was so thrilling and I never knew eben do so much damage even though I have him. I hope HG makes this an official thing. It will be history in the making. And if the do we all will know where they got the inspiration from ❤❤

WOW this legit gave me goosebumps my heart is racing right now. This event was truly amazing and I really didn't expect spiply to win.

This was amazing! I can't wait to see more of this in the future! Although them picking Schwarz in r3 even though it was banned was kindaaaa eh.

This tournament is very entertaining to watch. Great job for putting this together. Is there a way to leave a tip$? I don't see it as an option in comment.

19:04 isn't Schwarz was banned? Why Spiply were usuing her and no one even noticed?🤨

I love this community.

i wonder if knockout draft where banned ops can't be picked again would be interesting

omg that was an absolute blast to watch through. does anyone know if the other matches are still available to watch?

just my two cents, but would it be fair if both players pick their operators and run the stages the at the same time? because most of the time there is a higher chance the person who goes to the stage first wins due to their stage running first than the other player.

THERE IS PVP IN AK NOW?? now i want to download again the game

Please next time upload the full VOD first, I like to watch the whole thing without spoilers but can't watch live

LET'S GO MIZUKI FANCLUB!!! LET'S GO TSKAMI MI AMADA!!!

What the fuck why was this so intense 😮

Ebenholz carrying is something unexpected

9:27 MZK Tskami Wins ( with 7 Ops quick start and she win ) [ 7-18 ] 16:14 MZK Spiply Wins ( Ebenholz the boss killer ) [ 9-19 ] 22:10 MZK Tskami Wins ( for a couple of seconds WOW ) [ R8-11 ] 29:04 MZK Spiply Wins ( fast picks ) [ WR - EX 8 ] 35:02 MZK Spiply Wins ( WHAT A MUCH BROOOOO GG ) [ MN - EX 8 ] FINAL SCORE: 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 all the game she was behind but she never gave and that's the resaults well done for both of these players it was a magnificent match I think everyone of us enjoyed it ❤

Crazy how in the first round despite killing Patriot first, Spiply ended up losing

Ask some questions…. why ban Highmore? If talking about hold lane La pluma is more useful, Highmore is kind of healing elemental tho?

wait a sec, on j-11 didnt one of them use schwarz, which was a banned op?

Got Kukki on this

I am pretty sure on third map swarts was banned yet spi did use her

why ban those ops if you can ban kyostin in participating this competition?

OMG THIS IS SO COOL

Spiply deleting Mandragora is so satisfying. She was the boss I had the hardest time with

Awesome to see there are such skillfull female Dokutahs out there saving Terra

Lol everyone thinking it's Carnelian when it's actually her sister Beeswax! Also that Schwarz ban mistake could have changed the tides of this match despite Spiply being the better player in the end

Eyja the G.O.A.T. Caster after all these years

wait what? arknights tournament?

How did they not notice on third game R8-11 spiply used Swartz that was banned

dayuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

I still think 1-7 should be one of the maps.

In the R8-11 scenario Spiply used Schwarz while being banned, there was no serious problem since I did not win in that scenario, but if I had won it would affect too much :/

Ayo ❤

that ending so good to watch thanks to spiply comeback XD XD XD

Must be because i never watch football but this gives me more anticipation than a normal football match

Damn, i was not follow this event, but it's working like a Moba eSport games

I wonder how this will be if all 6 stars were banned

MIZUKI FANCLUB!!!!!!! YEAHHHH

I think 7-18 should be replaced with h7-4

21:52 SHEESH

Довольно интересно, но если начать думать над условиями, то появляется много вопросов. Начиная с начала. довольно интересно что выбор операторов тоже является частью, на которое уходит время, однако это буквально душит игроков, у которых более слабое устройство. Таких игроков душит ещё и переход между менюшками, и загрузка в уровень, что было заметно на 3 этапе, где Spiply стартанул раньше, однако за счёт мощности устройства, Tskami зашёл в операцию намного раньше. Уже это просто нечестно. Сама игра довольно завязана на определенных ивентах. Враги появляются волнами, каждая волна появляется с момента убийства последнего врага предыдущей волны. Относительно одной волны, враги появляются по времени, в большинстве случаев. Суть в том, что если убивать противников примерно одновременно, или просто быстрее таймеров внутриигровых, то по сути выигрывает тот, кто быстрее зашёл в операцию, а это, как описано во 2 абзаце, довольно несправедливо получается. В общем, как по мне, соревнования не слишком справедливые. Посмотреть на спидран уровней под напряжением времени и с ограничениями операторов можно, что довольно интересно даже, но не более

imagine kyo is participate in this contest

there should be option for 1-7 lol

19:57 spiply used schwarz (she is banned) nobody seemed to notice dx

GIGACHAD SPIPLY !!!!!

Tsukami really threw that fight against Mandragora bro

in game 3 spliply brought banned schwartz

i'd want ak challengers to be an anime.

my friend and I having ban/pick operator for certain stage, and HE ALWAYS F**** BAN BLUE POISON and Hoshiguma

Is no one going to point out that Spiply used Schwarz even though she was banned?

7-18 was a free win for Penance

Hypergryph shud make ak as official challenger tournament fr

They should make it so people with potato wifi or pc will not be at a huge disadvantage. It's kind of like playing with high ping

What was Tskami even cooking on the last map? She had no boss killers set up to kill the top knight, was she expecting Rosmontis to solo him, or was she not even planning to spawn kill the bosses? Also the greed on Spiply activating Schwarz's skill too early. Thank god there was a backup eyja.

mans called beeswax carnelian. smh

now that Typhon comes up everybody will ban her including Schwarz, Pozy, Fartooth hahahaha

Suggestion for future tournaments: 1) All tournament participants choose an operator to perma-ban throughout the entire tournament. 2) Banned operators should remain banned for this match. 3) Operator used by one player could not be used for that player for the rest of the match. This way can see more ban potential and unique strategy which up the difficulty.

I clicked this so fast it's disgusting

Spiply used banned schwarz on game 3

CAN we BEAT genshin

why doing tournament on a pve gacha game?even if you win it doesn t mean shit
