Aogiri Eito Returns From a Fever With a Three-Hour Valorant Stream

NEO-PORTE — Aogiri Eito, a streamer with Neo-Porte, came back on Tuesday from a bout of fever with a Valorant stream that ran just over three hours, and said he finished it feeling better than when he started.

He opened by telling viewers about the scare. He woke up feeling hot, found he had a fever, and threw everything at it at once: fever and stomach medicine, a herbal remedy, and a bowl of seaweed, tofu, natto, soba and egg that he described as the healthiest thing Japan has to offer. The fever, he said, was gone quickly, though his stomach was still unwell despite his diet of fermented foods. He had wanted to stream in the daytime but was still sluggish, so he waited for the evening.

The matches themselves were uneven. Early on he joked that he would blame his poor shooting on being sick, and a stretch of losses followed while lag troubled him. Midway through the stream he mused that when you are unwell, playing a shooter helps, because dopamine and adrenaline make you stop noticing the pain. A match around the hour-and-a-half mark turned out to be the one he enjoyed most; afterward he called it a great game and said it had worn him out.

His last match ended in a loss, but he finished it with 12 kills, 16 deaths and 7 assists, which made him the team’s MVP, and he noted that he had planted the spike eight times. He said he would turn in early because a new agent was due the next day, and closed by saying the stomach pain had gone away.

In chat, viewers greeted him through the first minutes, filled the screen with emotes of him cheering and saying good game during the matches he won and lost, and sent well wishes as he signed off.
