Kohaku Uru Practices League of Legends for Over Five Hours Ahead of a Tournament
Between matches the group reviewed replays, and a lineup built around Malphite earned a win.
ULTRALMTM — Kohaku Uru of UltraLMTM spent more than five and a half hours practicing League of Legends with teammates in a single stream, working through practice matches, replay reviews and a few lighter games ahead of a tournament.
The group opened by saying it wanted to work on handling Nocturne, a champion that came up again and again over the course of the session. While the lobby filled, talk drifted to fast food, restaurants and sweets, and the first practice game began about half an hour in.
Between games, the participants went back over footage of their matches, with one of them leading the feedback. They discussed who should hold control of the lane, when to teleport, where to place wards, and the need to call out when an enemy has spotted a teammate. Games against Nocturne and Aurora were hard for the group, but a game built around Malphite ended in a win. Chat reacted to how sturdy the champion was, and participants said the three-tank lineup had held up well.
Once the main practice block wound down, the participants confirmed they would gather at 4 p.m. and reminded one another to download the game client. They then turned to one-on-one lane practice before moving to Mayhem, a game mode in which players pick cards as they go. That match ended in a win, and one participant remarked that it had been a while since the group had won in the mode.
As the session closed, one participant said the goal was to take a point in the tournament, and others agreed. Uru told viewers the stream would return at 4 p.m. and asked them to cheer the group on.
