Aqua COMPLETELY DOMINATES THE CUSTOM until a TRAGIC ENDING -  

at 5:28 Towa says the entrance is burning, not that there is a wraith there.

the way she apologize when she accidentally shoot her wingman, that would cause the enemy to think that shes taunting them is too cute

Aqua: I don't think there's anyone here Also Aqua: _proceeds to get 7 kills inside/around said building_ lmao

Damn Towa's dome is really good , Suichan's scan too Aqua playing Valk is so satisfying lol

That one arc star at 8:46 completely messed them up. Aqua had to move away from it forcing them out of position for Valk ult.

for those whose wondering why Aqua saying Sorry at 6:47 and shakes her screen bc she accidentally shot the death box, shooting the death box has the same meaning as teabagging thus why she apologized bc she didnt meant to shoot it

4:32 - 6:47 *Sheeeesh!!* The Mad Dog Aqua was unleashed! man i never thought Aqua as Valk would be very strong! She's compatible with it, as mobility is one of her greatest strengths and Valk literally lets you fly around. In this round she freaking *deleted* enemy after enemy but they miscalculated the timing of that ult and the circle leading to defeat lol xD

I love how Aqua constantly get third partied because she's always fighting, but then she killed them all xD 7:53 The dodges wow

3:36 This is amazing!! 7:54 Wow just wow

I love the decision to put Suisei on bloodhound because their kit is so simplistic she wouldn’t have to worry about managing abilities that much. Also it fits her role in the team as the back line anchor as bloodhound is best in the back relaying the important fighting information because she’s the least experienced and she’s on the same team as the mad dog.

They miscalculated the dome, but they were destroying enemies like ants!

Aqua: They're up there Towa: I can't get up there Aqua: Fine, I'll do it myself Double Kill

All those death boxes in one building... mad dog

In terms of fighting potential, they're ready. They're one of the top teams in that area imo. All that's left for them is ironing out the mistakes in decision making. If they can do that, they're guaranteed to place high.

The timing between ring, valk ult, and arc star just mind blowing. Watching them playing with new composition brings more intense situations.

That whole entire time - There was more than 3/4ths of the teams left - Aqua's team eliminated almost every team that died - Aqua herself killed half of the people that were dead Jesus Christ dude

i went away for a while and i came back to the stream and aqua had 7 kills with 16 teams left remaining wtf💀

their communication between each other is super good to bad about the ring tho ^^

So far, I feel like although Aqua’s impressive mechanical skill is carrying her through alot of these fights eventually her overzealousness/aggressiveness always catches up to her. Because after 4 won fights later and 7 kills or so, she eventually overextends, puts herself into too hectic of a situation and/or get third-partied and lose and you look up and notice they sometimes barely make top 15. It’s definitely the solo player habits in her but the biggest thing she has to overcome is playing less for kills and instead more conservatively for placement.

Watching this live was amazing. Literally held my breath at 3:00

Real talk right here, Aqua is the only aggression makes this team so fun to watch, and overall the team in this tournament. And also they even die at 10-15th place but they already secure score that same place to 4-6th places. If you check the score board.. Aqua is seriously a killer in this tournament.

First, Holoyume-chan! Finally more Aqua clips yatta ~

that was fun to watch, they make a very good unit

I love them all and they're doing really well given its Aqua's and Suisei's 1st tourney, but I feel that this team still has so much potential though, cuz their playstyles are irregularly unsynced. Aqua is definitely on the hyphy and bloodthirsty side, and she makes real risky pushes at times, but when your team has one of the top 5 entry fraggers in the lobby, then to utilise her fully, your team must be ready to cover and back up the entry fragger much quicker than they do now. No flak against Suisei and Towa especially, cuz Towa is a more calculated and slower paced player but because of this half the fights I see Aqua go in with a good health chunk or advantage on her peeks, she ends up having to 1v2 or 1v3 for 5 seconds or so before her teammates can reach the fight and back her up, making this a 50/50. In the fights where both Suisei and Towa are in position, they literally demolish teams. Only a handful of teams have enough mechanically skilled players to contest them in a proper 1v1 with Aqua, like Pakael, Hinano, Gorilla, Chihiro, KanaKuzu, Reid, Noah, but I'll probably take Aqua over most of them in a straight up 1v1. IMO if they sync playstyles to either they will more consistently get higher placements with real solid kp.

Damnnn aqua so good man

aqua, the mad dog of hololive doing her thing! good stuff!!

i got too used of watching Aqua using Wraith to the point I was wondering why she flying XDD that was my bad

I love how much they’re responding with “okay”

Lmao that was quite the ending. That was relatable in some ways. I got left behind several times by Valk and got killed by the ring in solo q lol.

8:45 man that was painful. i tuned into the live stream during that time and didn't know they were doing so well just before that frick

Her target tracking is so satisfying to watch.

Theyre finally getting an answer for these wattson/crypto comps uuuugh

Around 200 rounds of Devotion and nearly a full Spitfire were spent to kill 3 squads consecutively.

valkrie air strafe!! aqutan ninja movement !! nice!!

"Valkyrie is cracked." And so is Aqua. That calm under pressure plus the mechanics is just great to watch.

the comps change was amazing. I wonder if aqua decided to use horizon in the end or stick with this. edit: she did it, she used Horizon.

i think if suisei play caustic they gonna have easier time to defend their spot because suisei it self its not a shooter yet but i hope startend enjoy the match and be happy no matter what the result are.

Aqua: assasin/dmg dealer Towa: tank/support Suisei:support

I love Apex's Japanese dub, but I wouldn't understand squat, which defeats the purpose. Also, what a beast is this onion.

That arc star moved them to the ring. Lol GG nevertheless.

It's sad they got downed because of the ring, they were doing pretty good during that round.

Damn they were on fire that game. Too bad about the Valk ult, but it's a good lesson learned in scrims lol

3:35 that freaking shot came from way over the mountain lol does anyone knew who that was shooter?

the next game only 15 team get to 2nd ring cuz she beamed them all by herself

lol got sandwiched when about to attack and forgot about the circle when about to fly

the problem with aqua is she plays too agresively and sometime lack of communication but she play solo like towa said she is mad dog

Tht Valk mid air dodging tho

Strafe Aqua + Valk is so good

the match where every one did think they will get champ until...the zone get them...................well...that really wtf moment of that night.

If there was local chat hearing Aqua say "Okay okay" would make everyone wish they were playing the famous tactical retreat Pathfinder/Octane/Ash comp...

dammit sorry i laughed when they died on valk ult, but damn bro that's a wild play for sure, aqua nailed it everytime

🤣 what an ending. Knocked by no one but ring.

so they knew there were some teams around and in the building and still went for another team in the open space?

Astel and Aqua have really been doing yagoo proud in these scrims. By the way, could anyone here tell me what each of their highest ranks were? I assume noone in the tournament was pred right?

Her movement is crazy. I feel like a freaking turtle in comparison :S

Well,just like shibuya hal said,since it's a BR the win rate is not 100%,but daamn they played really2 good there,they wiped almost all of the team that died LOL

Wow. Seeing their plays, are they really idol? More like eSport pros.

Man, they could've won if Aqua didn't mess up the valk ult timing. Their synergy was on point this game.

Aqua and Turbocharger Devotion, name a more iconic duo

dang how can she move like wraith when she's using valk .

Why are there always so many teams on so small circles left in her games

"They have a charge rifle" Me, as someone who doesn't play Apex: *Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at TV meme*

what does it mean when they say someone is "cracked"? sorry I don't play Apex or any FPS so I don't know the terminology

7:54 Onion ultra instict mode

There's no such thing as Tragic ending, it's just a rare daily events and perks for -comedians- entertainers-idols.

What's Neo porte placement this round?

How many points did Startend get in the 1st day?

Aqua op

07:55 strafe mid air damn

15th place w/ 9 kills, lul

i just got valk yesterday and didn't know how to play her but after seeing aqua play i might copy her play style a bit

So Wattson was an Apex character? I thought they were fighting Amelia this whole time 😝😝

So what happened? They failed to advance to the final?

Why did aqua quit playing apex

My lord, 16 teams by round 4? and it's pubs, what? is it something unique to the JP servers?

They team fight is already good but always get 3rd party. And nice improve for suichan.

Pro-tip: If you see a Valk running with a devo/wingman loadout, just run the opposite direction.

Oof Towa should've domed earlier and Aqua should've decided to Valk Ult earlier as soon as the zone started closing. Maybe Suisei should've scanned before pushing to reveal that they're surrounded so that Aqua could've decided to Valk Ult earlier? Other than that, idk what else they could've done lol, I'm only gold Feel free to reply, I wanna learn

Watching Nijisanji's Selen play Apex, I sometimes wonder who is better, her or Aqua. Watching these Aqua clips, now there is no dout in my mind of Aqua's superior skills.

A.

I think other teams are already aware of this, but StartEnd is not very good when against multiple parties. while they're fighting against one party and another party suddenly jumps in, they got wiped out in many cases. if that happens, maybe it's better if Towa and Suichan "cut the leash" to run away and let Aqutan run wild while giving support from safe place.

They like fighting too much, this may have lead to them dying too early. Like this match, they are out of zone, they could have rotated quietly, but they want to fight 3v3 another team and miscalculated and getting 3rd party sandwiched which lead to another miscalculation and died in the ring. In the scrim match, because the other teams are very good(unlike previous customs with fans), it is harder to fight and win consecutively without getting 3rd partied or flat out just lose the fight(Reid, Noah team both got them on 3v3 head on fights). The main focus of the tourney matches is survival first, even pro teams avoid unnecessary fights

i think she better use that wingman and rifle than wingman and shotgun
