Kuri Eita Wins the Last Match of a Six-Hour Apex Session, Leaving 300 Points to Go
On day 16 of his solo Master challenge, the Nijisanji streamer had slept about two hours before going live.
NIJISANJI — Kuri Eita took a Champion finish in the final match of day 16 of his Apex Legends solo Master challenge on Sunday, then said 300 points still remained and went to bed. The Nijisanji streamer said he would rest and play a final last round later.
He opened the morning stream saying he had slept only about two hours and that his play was at its best yet. He recalled gaining 1,200 points the previous day, said 900 would be enough to reach Master this time, and said he planned to get there. His first match went badly, with a down early on that cost points, but the second ended in second place for a gain of 180, which he said erased the opening loss.
“That was a soul play, that last one. I was doing it without thinking.” — Kuri Eita, after the final win
Around the 45-minute mark, viewers told him his voice and picture had slipped out of sync. He restarted his PC and the problem cleared, which chat welcomed with messages of thanks. Matchmaking then stalled at a dozen or so players, and he switched to another server for a stretch before play returned to normal.
Between matches he talked about his school days, including acting that made him self-conscious. By the third hour he had a third-place finish and said he was 400 points up with 600 to go. Fatigue set in later: in the fifth hour he said his concentration was not lasting, and shortly before 5:43 he said his eyes, hands, head and mouth were asleep.
The last match changed that. He won it from the closing stages and reached 694, saying the win had woken him up, with 300 left. Chat urged him to sleep, and he agreed to stop there, thanking viewers for watching.
