Kasukano Utsuro Chases Platinum in Overwatch Ranked and Sees Her First Push Draw

NEO-PORTE — Kasukano Utsuro, a virtual streamer with Neo-Porte’s third generation, spent a lunchtime stream on Friday playing Overwatch’s competitive mode in pursuit of Platinum rank, and watched a Push match end in a draw, something she said she had never seen in that mode. The two teams’ scores matched to the decimal.

She said at the outset that she had been sitting around Gold 1 to 3 for a long time. Playing support, she moved through Kiriko, Mizuki and Illari, and talked through hero bans and which supports suit which team compositions. Early on, a round ended just as she thought a comeback was starting, and she joked about pulling the plug on her monitor.

The stream was billed as a lunch session, and she asked viewers what they had eaten. She said she had eaten an American dog, or *ame-do*, that morning, and joked that her own lunch was rice. Viewers answered with rice emoji, onigiri and instant ramen, which led to a detour on tonkotsu versus Yokohama-style ramen. Another detour covered the manga and anime Hunter x Hunter, where she said she had not yet watched the Dark Continent arc, though she owns the manga.

Chat also pointed her to a new Kiriko skin in the in-game shop, along with one of the stream’s 2 Super Chats, which she thanked on air. Near the end, with teammates dropping out of a late match, she tried a cat hero and held for the objective until the match closed.

She ended the stream, saying she had little time that day. An evening stream was possible, she said, but unlikely if sleepiness won out. She signed off with her usual *Otsuron*.
