Suzuna Tsuzuri Plays Her First Hololive Full Party in VALORANT With Four Senior Talents

HOLOLIVE — Suzuna Tsuzuri of Hololive’s ASOBI★MAWARI-TAI! played VALORANT in her first full party, a premade five-player squad, with four senior Hololive talents on Tuesday: Momosuzu Nene, Natsuiro Matsuri, Kazama Iroha and La+ Darknesss. All five streamed it from their own channels over roughly an hour and a half.

After a pause to balance voice and game volume, the five took turns introducing themselves. Nene called herself everyone’s energy drink, Matsuri billed herself as Hololive’s demure one, and Laplus gave her name and stopped there, to laughter. Tsuzuri said the plan was one team deathmatch, then a match or two. For Nene it was the first time meeting Tsuzuri, and the seniors spent the opening minutes teasing and encouraging her in equal measure, with chat calling out that the newest member had been handed the in-game leader role.

“It was the most fun. I’m so happy I got to talk with all of my senpai.” — Suzuna Tsuzuri, closing her stream

Tsuzuri held her own against the more experienced players. In one round she took an ace, and the others remarked that she seemed to do so as a matter of course. The group won a match, and the seniors, tallying their own numbers, said even their kills, deaths and assists added together did not reach her 36 kills. Tsuzuri credited her seniors for covering her so she could shoot with confidence.

The seniors also pushed her to tease Laplus about loose aim, and she admitted she was more nervous about it than she had been at her debut stream. After she asked whether Laplus’s aim had been shaky, the room dissolved into laughter and chat declared it had turned into a reward. Later, Nene scored a three-kill round with a Guardian rifle, drawing praise from the others, and Matsuri rallied the team in a late round against opponents who were all carrying Operator sniper rifles. Laplus was the first to sign off, and Tsuzuri remarked on how fast she had gone.

Closing out, Tsuzuri said she had been tense but was delighted to play a full party within Hololive, a different kind of fun from the solo ranked grind she is working through, and thanked each senior by name. Iroha, who had reinstalled the game for the occasion, said she had prepared questions for Tsuzuri about when she started VALORANT and which agent she likes, but could not talk while fighting. Nene said she hoped viewers enjoyed watching them have fun, and Matsuri said she had another stream coming at 10 p.m. Japan time.
