Tsumugi Kokage Gets Her Blood Pressure Up in a VALORANT Deathmatch Before Competitive

VSPO — Tsumugi Kokage of VSpo spent the first stretch of a VALORANT stream on Sunday getting more and more irritated with an opponent in a deathmatch, then moved on to competitive matches with the mood still hanging over her.

She opened with background music running to cover mic noise, and chatted about shopping for a new microphone and audio interface after asking ChatGPT for recommendations. Once the deathmatch got going, an opponent who kept using flashes from the same spot wore her down. “I’m thinking about nothing except getting over there,” she said, and called it the most irritated she had been in a deathmatch.

“That was close. I was about to start cursing.” — Tsumugi Kokage, after the deathmatch round

She said her blood pressure was climbing, then, after the round, “That was close. I was about to start cursing.” She sang for a while to settle herself. Some of the irritation lingered: she said the previous match was still stuck in her head as she played on, and she told viewers she was short on time because she had Apex Legends planned for 8 p.m.

Around the 47-minute mark she added a stream delay and switched to competitive play. She picked Vyse, pleased each time a move felt “very Vyse,” and later switched to Killjoy. Partway through she remembered that her win rate on the map Haven was only about 14 percent and quickly changed her pick. After one match she noted it had earned just 16 points.

Chat answered the deathmatch ire with teasing and cheered her stronger rounds in the competitive games. She thanked viewers for membership gifts and for one Super Chat, then signed off to prepare for the evening’s Apex session with two people she said she had not played with in a while.
