Shishido Akari played a three-game League of Legends scrim on Wednesday alongside Kanae, Takamiya Rion and Asumi Sena of VSpo, then kept her stream going until it passed nine hours. The scrim, billed as the CC Next scrim and run under the #LTK hashtag, took up the first five hours or so, and all four streamed it from their own channels.

Before the first game the group went through how the three-game set would work, including who gets to choose sides after each game. The first game was lost, and the group spent the next stretch replaying fights on a shared screen. One participant said that when someone proposes taking Rift Herald, teammates need to say where the lanes stand first, so the call is made on the same information.

Near the end of the second game, participants agreed that a late team fight had gone especially well, and chat wrote that everyone played well. After the third game the group went over why a game they had led early, including the first dragon, slipped away after a misstep and a poor fight. They also worked out practice times and said they would meet again on the 17th.

The other three signed off at about the five-hour mark, but Kanae stayed with Akari for roughly another hour. He explained wave control: how to decide whether to push or hold a wave, what to give up when behind, and when it is safe to recall. Kanae closed his own stream by saying he had been unsure whether it was his place to teach this, but that talking it through had helped him sort out his own thinking.

Akari then kept asking about the game, including how each dragon changes the map and which items to build. Later she moved on to a run of Mayhem games, the mode in which players pick augments. She said she had used Morgana’s ultimate properly for the first time and closed by saying she would see viewers at the next stream, if there was one the next day.
