Tsumugi Kokage’s Pre-Birthday Valorant Session Ends on a 3-Kill, 17-Death Game

VSPO — Tsumugi Kokage of VSpo ended a VALORANT stream on Monday with a game she called the most outrageous score she had posted in about two years: three kills against 17 deaths. She said she would stay away from the game for three weeks, and that the stream’s title, which staked her mood for her birthday broadcast on the session, had turned out to be a jinx.

The stream began in a rush. Tsumugi said she had done almost no preparation for the birthday stream that was to follow, including merchandise and the results of a viewer survey, and that she still had to buy drinks and a snack for it. She ate a pumpkin potage on air before starting to play. She also said that many viewers had called her new birthday artwork cool, which surprised her, since she saw its frilly design as cute.

“The title turned out to be a jinx.” — Tsumugi Kokage, after the final match

She said the previous day’s games had gone well, and the session started in that vein. Around the one-hour-21-minute mark she guessed correctly that the opposing team would push the middle of the map, rushed the B site instead and won the round, saying it felt very good when a read landed. When a match ended with time to spare, she called it a pretty good place to stop, then decided to play one more.

That match went the other way. Tsumugi said her shots had stopped landing and counted her deaths aloud, from 15 to 16 to 17, while stuck on three kills. “The title was a jinx,” she said, adding that she wished she had stopped after the earlier match. She said she was quitting VALORANT for three weeks, kept talking to shake off the mood, and signed off by saying she would go to space and be back at 6 p.m.

Chat answered with “Three weeks?!” and a sarcastic “There’s no way you could have had a better ending than that.” The stream drew two Super Chats.
