Hanabusa Lisa, Reid and Uruha Play Apex Legends for Hours, Then Break Before Valorant

Kurumi Noah joined the opening stretch, and Shirayuki Reid and Ichinose Uruha came in for the rest, each streaming on their own channel.

Hanabusa Lisa of VSpo teamed up with Neo-Porte’s Shirayuki Reid and VSpo’s Ichinose Uruha for a long session of Apex Legends on Tuesday. The three closed it out by agreeing to take a ten-minute break, restart their streams and move on to VALORANT.

Lisa’s stream began with Kurumi Noah of VSpo. After the two had played for about an hour and a half, Lisa put out a call for a full three-person squad.

“Then let’s play today.” — Hanabusa Lisa, Shirayuki Reid and Ichinose Uruha, on playing Valorant together

While Lisa stepped away briefly, Reid and Uruha each started a stream of their own, and the three were together once Lisa returned. Their chatter before the first match wandered from heaters to oden to apartment hunting. Talk then turned to VALORANT: the group said it did not feel as though they had played it together, and as the first match began the answer came: “Then let’s play today.”

In the matches that followed, the squad compared weapons such as the Hemlock and the Nemesis and talked about how strong Crypto had become, with one participant predicting the character would be nerfed. They closed out one match as the Champion squad, and chat filled with “nice” messages. A later match ended in the final ring when a Kraber shot caught the squad, a result they called a near miss.

After the last match of the evening, the three agreed to pause for ten minutes, set up their streams again and play VALORANT, with a game update to install first.
