Dokibird Wraps Four-Day Deadlock Tournament, Vows to Reach Eternus on Rem

INDEPENDENT — Dokibird finished the fourth and final day of the Deadlock creator tournament Manhattan Mayhem and used the rest of her stream to say she plans to keep climbing the game’s ranked ladder to its Eternus rank, playing the character Rem.

She spent the day in a team voice call with a group of fellow creators, drafting and playing through a string of matches. The team lost early on and spent part of the afternoon talking through where it had given up ground, including when to contest the mid boss and the Rift objective, and how to fight earlier. Between games the group joked about drafts and a coach’s picks, and talked about simply having fun. Later the team closed out a game, which set chat off with cheers, and the day ended with the players trading good-game wishes in the lobby.

“I will be the Rem terrorist in Eternus. That’s going to be me.” — Dokibird, on her ranked goal after the tournament

During a long wait between matches, the stream turned to the news that T1 had been knocked out of the League of Legends World Championship. Dokibird said she had bought tickets to the final in New York mainly to see Faker, and she later called it the saddest thing that happened that day and said she was unsure whether she still wanted to go.

Afterward, speaking on her own, she said she had grown as a player and had changed her mindset on the last day to treat the event as something to learn from. She said she would not join another creator tournament of this format unless it ran for fewer days or carried prize money, so that every team entered with the same level of seriousness, and that she would keep up coaching sessions with Obie and Scout after the event. When chat doubted she could reach Eternus, she answered that she would do it out of spite, and when viewers urged her to switch to Baba to get there faster, she said she wanted to get there as a Rem player.

Viewers sent 19 Super Chats, several of them joking about a wager on whether she would reach the rank. She said she might hold a bonus stream later that night, then signed off by telling viewers to stay hydrated and get some sleep.
