Tatsumaki Chise Voted MVP as CC CORE Rally Past Laurel Regalia Core in LTK Finale
Chise said it was her first time taking the award, and teammates credited her calls with steadying the team after a shaky start.
VSPO — Tatsumaki Chise of VSpo was voted MVP of the match on Friday after her team, CC CORE, beat Laurel Regalia Core on Day 3 of the regular stage of the LTK Season Finale, a League of Legends league. The win earned CC CORE three points, and Chise said it was the first time she had taken the award.
The stream opened with a 2v2 scrim session with teammates ahead of the evening’s broadcast. In the match itself, CC CORE had a rough early game. Chise played Kai’Sa. The group steadied itself, won the team fights that followed and closed out the game.
“Yay. Good. It’s my first time taking it. Thank you.” — Tatsumaki Chise, on the MVP result
In the post-match interview, a teammate said the team had thought it was finished early on, and that the message in voice chat was simply to calm down. The teammate said Chise had been acting like a mother, telling everyone it was fine. Chise said she did not remember making many calls herself. She said she had farmed steadily in the early game, and that once her power spike arrived the others gave her calls that made the game easier to play. Konkon Aria, who also played on the team, said Chise had spoken up on her behalf at moments such as when she recalled to base. Aria said Chise used to feel like her daughter, and that she had grown, adding that she is usually the one who plays the mother.
When the MVP result came in, chat filled with congratulations, and viewers sent 67 Super Chats and stickers over the course of the stream. Afterward the team went back over the game with its coach, concentrating on lining up positions before fights. In the interview, the coach said the team had plenty of tactics it had not yet shown and hoped to reveal them in the second half of the regular stage.
