Sendo Yuuhi and Her Duo Partner Climb Back Into Master Tier in Ranked League Stream

VSPO — Sendo Yuuhi of VSpo finished a seven-hour League of Legends ranked stream on Wednesday back in Master tier, saying that she and her duo partner had both made it back.

About two and a half hours in, a quick win drew congratulations from chat. Just past the three-hour mark she won a game that paid double LP, the ladder points that decide rank, and said she was finally back. She later recalled that she had once reached Master, lost five games in a row and dropped out, and said that streak had simply been bad luck.

“We won a lot of games today through communication. Communication might matter more than I thought.” — Sendo Yuuhi, after the final win

The middle of the night went to a technical problem. Around the 3:50 mark, clicking the minimap kept sending her character walking, and she said a game she lost would not have been lost without that mistake. She searched the settings, considered moving the minimap to the lower left of the screen and rejected it as too uncomfortable, then settled on pressing Alt+M, which she said stops the minimap from taking clicks, before team fights. She said the problem shows up most on long-range champions such as Seraphine and Lux, and that members of her team had told her to work on her aim and camera control.

Late in the stream, after a loss she filed reports on teammates and said she wanted to finish with a win. In the last game a teammate had taken the pair for players throwing the match; she said they were playing seriously and had only been losing, kept talking with the team in chat, and won. She said the stream’s wins also came with a theory: at Master level the evening hours bring more serious players, so she would rather play ranked in prime time.

She closed by saying the night had gone well: a winning streak, a lead on the minimap problem and a return to Master for both of them. Team practice was set for 3 p.m. the next day, she said, with the main event on the 23rd.
