Syusetsu Kohaku Says 10 Hours of Sleep Made Enemies Easier to See in Apex

REJECT — Syusetsu Kohaku of REJECT spent most of a nearly five-hour Apex stream on Wednesday making one argument: that a full night’s sleep had improved her play. The stream was titled for the fact that she had slept too much.

She opened by waking up on camera and saying she had overslept, then settled into matches. About 14 minutes in, she said she could see enemies better than she had a few days earlier, and that her fingers moved better than during her last stream, which she said followed almost two nights without sleep. Later she told viewers she had slept more than 10 hours that day.

She returned to the point several times, telling viewers to get some sleep, and again after the game announced a champion squad. She also played as Bangalore for much of the session, saying she wanted to use characters other than her usual pick, Wraith. Not every fight went her way: she lost one with the Mozambique shotgun and said she would never use it again, and later complained that the Alternator submachine gun was weak.

Between matches the talk drifted. She and viewers compared how they hold chopsticks, with Kohaku saying she did not see anything wrong with holding them crossed, and she explained how she rolls the mouse wheel with her middle finger. She also talked about foods she cannot eat, scents she likes and a fried chicken meal that left her too full to touch the hamburger she had ordered with it.

Near the end she thanked viewers for coming, said she had played a lot of Apex and invited people to watch the archive. She said the contrast with her previous all-nighter had been obvious and ended the stream with a goodbye until the next day.
