Kuzuha Takes Blame as CC Core Loses Day 2 League of Legends Match

NIJISANJI — Kuzuha and his team, CC Core, lost their Day 2 match in the LTK League of Legends tournament on Monday, and the streamer spent the rest of a roughly five-and-a-half-hour broadcast taking responsibility for it. After the game he called the opposition strong and his own play bad, and said he had made too many mistakes, mainly early on.

The stream opened with a practice match, or scrim, ahead of the main game, which Kuzuha said was planned for around 9 p.m. He told viewers he had forgotten to put the word scrim in the stream title and asked them to type it in chat. Much of the captioned audio after that is the event’s broadcast of other teams’ matches, with Kuzuha and his teammates chatting between games.

“Somehow all I feel is that we can win. We know exactly what we’re missing now, so we just fill it in from here.” — Kuzuha, closing the stream

Before the main game the team agreed on a risky early jungle invade that it called “poison” (doku), and shared how it would move. Kuzuha played Ryze. The team fell behind in gold early, towers fell through the middle of the game, and the players raised the idea of a last fight over Baron, but the opponents’ lead held.

Kuzuha later said that returning to base at one point would have kept the damage to a minimum. Replaying the opening with teammates, the group saw opposing wards on two jungle camps, the red buff and the bird camp, and agreed the invade had been spotted. They then spent a stretch of the review on widening the champions each player can use.

The team was said to be sitting third, and its next opponent is LR on Day 3, which Kuzuha put on the 23rd; the group worked out when to fit in practice before then. He said he was going straight on to Overwatch practice. Chat answered with encouragement, peaking at 915 messages in a single minute as he wrapped up.
