Orisaki Moshu’s Team B Wins REJECT’s Monster Strike Seven-Day Cup, 3,571 to 3,121

REJECT — Team B, made up of Orisaki Moshu, Syusetsu Kohaku, Karasuba Sora and Capla Libras, beat Team A by 3,571 points to 3,121 on Sunday to win the REJECT HOUR Monster Strike Seven-Day Cup, a week-long team tournament in Monster Strike among eight talents from the virtual agency REJECT. Team A included Rosec_pin, Hanamae Haru and Mikami Kon. Each member of the winning team receives 300 grams of Chateaubriand beef, the prize several talents had named as their goal during the week.

The teams had spent six days collecting points through missions: clearing set high-difficulty quests as a full team, earning 10 points for every maxed-luck monster (*unkyoku*) beyond the fifth, and one point for every multiplayer match. The last day added a time attack on two high-difficulty quests, each with a 30-minute limit, with the fastest clear among a team’s four members counting. The first quest, Yamato Takeru, was worth 200 points and the second, Daikokuten, 250.

“There are people in REJECT who, once they decide to do nothing but this for ten hours today, actually do it.” — Orisaki Moshu, after the results

Team A won the first quest. Team B said afterward that chatting had used up 20 minutes of the half-hour limit. Team B took the second, and with it the tournament. Moshu said on his own channel that the result showed what REJECT’s members could do once they committed to a game. Earlier in the evening, Haru, who played Monster Strike for the first time this week, had said her index finger had taken the shape of the game’s pull-and-release shot.

The tally of the week’s work was read out on the shared call. Kon, on Team A, logged 669 multiplayer matches and 81 maxed-luck monsters, the most of the eight. Libras logged 551 matches and 47 monsters, and Kohaku 427 matches and 65. Kohaku, who had nine at the start of the final day, built hers during a stream of about 11 hours, and Libras said that without that climb the rest of Team B could not have caught up. Moshu spent the first stretch of his stream farming Dark Dragons in rooms hosted by listeners, ahead of the 7:30 p.m. deadline for the week’s tally. He finished with 43, one run short of the 44 he had been aiming for, and thanked the listeners who opened rooms and lent items.

After the results, the talents said they would be allowed to keep the Monster Strike accounts they had used, and several said they planned to keep playing. Moshu said he would like to do a New Year gacha stream if the agency permits it, and asked viewers to share their own pulls. Libras said he would play in spare moments rather than for hours each day.
