Tatsumaki Chise Ends a Hard Solo-Queue Session With a Win Before Leaving for a Meeting

VSPO — Tatsumaki Chise of VSpo closed a League of Legends solo-queue stream on Friday with a win in her last ranked game, shortly before she had to leave for a meeting. The stream ran about three and a half hours.

She opened after a day off, saying she had rested and felt well, and thanked viewers who had written to say their birthday goods had arrived. Her first game of the day ended in a loss, and she went over what had gone wrong with chat, saying she had thought she was pushing the lane slowly.

“I only took Lucian at the very end. I died a lot, though.” — Tatsumaki Chise, after the win

Much of the middle of the stream was talk. She said she could not always tell when a compliment was a veiled jab,. Chat teased her over it, and she turned a discussion of being reported in solo queue into a mock trial with herself as the defendant, then declared the verdict “not guilty.” A game ended in a win while she was mid-conversation. When viewers picked up on her saying she was good at “putting on a cat” (*neko o kaburu*, Japanese for keeping up a meek front), chat answered with cat jokes.

A later game went badly. She said at one point that she had lost every lane, and after it ended she told viewers not every match was like that and that the next one would surely be better. She picked Xayah next. Around that time she also thanked viewers who asked about her hand-signed postcards, saying she had finished writing them and that the faces she drew changed from one to the next, which she called part of their charm.

The win came after a long game in which she said she had died a great deal. Chat said she had effectively decided the match. She then told viewers she had to leave for a meeting and played one Mayhem game, taking Vayne and following chat’s advice on which augments to pick, before thanking the viewers who had sent nine Super Chats.

Before signing off she mentioned she had a runny nose, joked about allergy tests, and urged viewers to keep warm. She said she might stream again in the evening if she could.
