the meta has shifted a lot from the last vsaikyo, maybe we will see something new this time

​@@thefurmidablecatlucky3 With Alter around, perhaps Astel will become the drill instead.

@@thefurmidablecatlucky3Astel fuse seems likely.

With meta shift fuse is much more stronger than mad Maggie and it's strong to claim space, but with open space map like Olympus and most team might run rampant or new castle mad Maggie have good run.

Kuzuha also said that he’s team is locked in and based on what Towa is saying on this clip I would presume that a majority already has a team

She's a 7 pointer. But Her Gib is not a 7-pointer Gib, that's Her eternal issue with Vsaikyo's point system lol.

Towa barely plays apex these days, only recently she did 3 streams during last two weeks or so. I would say everything she said about Aki applies to herself as well at this point. And also I think the "good support" angle is overstated. It's Apex, not overwatch, there's just 3 players on the team, and everyone should be able to contribute to a fight. She's good at placing dome and using her ult, yes, but placing dome isn't all there is to playing gibby.

@@HaibaneKuu You really just compared Towa, who may be a bit rusty, to Aki who has barely played the game at all? Not to mention that multiple Pros & Ex-Pros have praised Towa for her Gib/support. And I think their opinion may weigh a bit more than some random commenters on KZfaq

@@Nachtflutyeahh i agree with this. No matter what. There is always a difference between a newbie and an old veteran. Towa prolly has raw aim better and better game sense to be way more functional in the game.

@@HaibaneKuu looking at the last 2 Vsai stats when her team is always bottom 5, you might have a point, CR cup and Vsai are different thing since in CR cup you still could get Pros or ex-pros as teammate, but in Vsai it's only for Vtuber with almost equal rank and skills.

Yeah, Aki now is in the same position as Laplus from previous VSai, but as Towa said Aki will need to really TRY HARD especially that FPS is not really one of her strengths when it comes to gaming, unlike Laplus that has a lot of experience on FPS because of Valorant. I only know Aki played so much Splatoon, but Apex is just really too different from Splatoon.

@justawanderingvegetable4847 gaming isn't a strength in general so her focus is basically a self imposed challenge But Aki needs to put in some serious time as she isn't OP like Suisei

She definitely need to grind and have some game sense for FPS and maybe she can just chunk two press to carry her lol

Arya Can't Get Invited Because Her Ping In JP Lobby will be too high

​@@karinaa5558haven't you heard the Rest in Ping TSB?

​@@karinaa5558more like language barrier issue than ping issue.

@@Ginochii no info but soon

I think I've heard it will be towards the end of July

nah, Axel is pretty busy currently, Altare only joined for last time, but he already said he doesn't want to do any other tournies, and doki is also really busy rn

I heard there's an unofficial rule that you can't have the same teammates again hence why you don't see repeat teams. Noct will probably also have his hands full with the ongoing ALGS.

Has she been recruiting? Though I don’t think she’s gonna have trouble finding people to work with lol

Her team has to be stacked to reach the 17 to 24 pt range requirement. Shes bronze which only gives 3 pts afaik.

@@siekensou77 Could be Virtual Gorilla, Someone like that.

Se needs Yufuna on her team or she's done bro

@HyperShane Vgorilla has his own team

@@HyperShane Gorilla got the invitation as well so nope. I don't know much about other vtuber who got pred rank, but I think Dtto can join her.

Twitter, from Shibuya Hal himself. But so far the captains are revealing themselves by posting their invitations. There's like 4 still unknown. The full teams will be announced later this month.

Maybe Aki could invite her!

She got a captain invite same as Aki

yeah,i think like that too. maybe with albio

Her highest was Dia3, if I remember correct.

Vsaikyo is the annual vtuber apex tourney that run by Shibuya Hal, tho I doubt there will be another one next year given Apex popularity. In terms of viewership Vsaikyo usually has more viewers than ALCS because many popular vtubers, like last year's with Aqua participating, she had like 100k people watching her stream alone.

Akirose, technically Sakura Aoi who is a reincarnation of Chihiro, and Kohaku who was kind of too strong in the past

@@pgf2940 So the new new timer is just aki?

​@@siekensou77Aki was at a PUBG one long ago

@@siekensou77 new apex player its just aki

So noah, towa, and cpt then? Looks promising

But Noah and Towa both got leader invitations, so that's impossible. Not to mention cpt can't participate because VTuber tournament.

you know this is vsaikyo right? non-vtuber cant & wont play.

cpt isn't vtuber

Cr cup isn't vsai 😅

I doubt it, unless there was an invited member that can speak english and also knows some of the new VSPO EN members. None of them speaks Japanese and I'm pretty sure only Arya really plays Apex.

They debuted too late for that I think. Plus since she doesn't speak Japanese she'll have to be on a team with someone who speaks both language like Axel or Dtto ( wonder if she'll get to participate)

@@dabilaroali1037 yeah thats the thing is that most of these people that speak both JP and EN are too high in ranks, Axel is Master and Dtto is Pred. These 2 cannot be put on the same team as Arya since shes also a Master rank x13 and has also touched the Pred rank. I kinda have a feeling Dtto might get invited for Akirose's team since shes only Bronze. I think the only candidate for this is Kuga Leo from Neo-Porte, since hes only platinum and speaks JP and EN. but yeah still, the VSPO EN debuted very late, its very unlikely that they will be joining this VSai ....unless ....

@@justawanderingvegetable4847 you actually bring up a good point, Leo from NeoPorte can speak english, so the chance Arya joining is not immposible but also very unlikely.

@justawanderingvegetable4847 I was thinking about Leo too but he might wanna run it back with Pakael and Rikka lol. They won an Apex festival so maybe they are satisfied but I wouldn't be surprised.

IGL is In Game Leader. I think what Towa sama means here, even though she is chosen as team leader, she will not take IGL role, which is taking command in game.

knowing that VSai invited many vtubers, including Niji, it's hard to imagine

Problem is points. (Well that and ping, considering Doki and Altare would have to play from NA to JP.) The only reason TSB was able to play together was because Altare was plat ranked in the previous one, meaning they could accommodate Doki's 10 points. Now he's considered higher and a whole TSB squad would be over the limit.

​@@earthadeptthat was also a huge ask that axel made. There's more talents these days and if axel didn't get a leader invite tsb isn't gonna happen.

​@@earthadeptthe limit for points was increased but so far we don't know if Axel was invited. TSB or something close is unlikely.

Doki is doing her own thing this year which is really good. I think it's way better for the EN scene to have people step up rather than rely on JP to include them into their stuff.

Considering she said Startend would be her first and last time participating, chances are very low (she said she may change her mind someday, but I wouldn't expect her to join)
