Overall Information

Date - Saturday, April 15, 2023, Best of 5, Map - World's End.

Average is calculated from all games without kill limits. P/K stands for Place/Kill, as in the ratio between points earned from placement and points earned from kills. There are other sources if you want the first 5 games only, or with kill caps or something.

TSN - TSN - Kanae / Lauren Iroas / Yuuhi Riri

Coach - ChaNRiyo, Landing - Countdown, Average Pts - 9.15, P/K - 0.90

They got this TSN gimmick from the beginning, and apparently this worked as they are at the top of the leaderboards. Lauren is probably at the top of his game, and this is a well-greased team… but I wouldn’t say they are far and above the others. This is a tight game.

MNBD - めーぷるなっつばにーだよ [Maple Nuts Bunny-dayo] - Kurumi Noah / Higuchi Kaede / Tosaki Mimi

Coach - M1ko_d4yo, Landing - Harvester, Average Pts - 8.89, P/K - 0.84

Once again, the team to beat. I guess just having the name Kurumi Noah will tip you on that part. Has been relatively strong, Noah still cried though, that’s how tough the competition is out there. Deron has ascended and Mimi is one of the better point scams here.

DK - 脱☆カスタム番長～約束の楽園～ [DatsuKasu] - Pakael / Rikkaroid / Kuga Leo

Coach - Eden, Landing - Staging, Average Pts - 8.47, P/K - 0.91

Perhaps the team to beat, although Pakael has a tendency to fall face-front during the main match regardless of the team, but Pakael truly has one of best teams out there. Leo was a good ‘scam’ play and Rikka has been rather stellar, so maybe this would be the one for him.

AQF - 英吸不滅 [Ei Kyuu Fumetsu] - Kuzuha / Ex Albio / Fuwa Minato

Coach - DizzyTrickstar, Landing - Lava Siphon, Average Pts - 7.62, P/K - 0.80

At some points, it almost felt unfair and they really deserve to bump up, but you know that Kuzuha gets all the views, so corruption, yadda, yadda, you know the drill. (Astel?) Definitely a contender, but people have kept an eye on them, so they might not do well.

GUN - (株)ゴリラ運輸 [Gorilla Unyu] - Virtual Gorilla / Yozuna Niu / Kaga Nazuna

Coach - Dexyuku, Landing - Climatizer, Average Pts - 7.32, P/K - 0.86

Did very well in the beginning but as more teams became more wary, started to falter… but they are the one of the fun teams to watch, just by the virtue of the two girls. Niu, whose gotten a second wind and renegade on graduating, and Nazuna… just being Nazuna, really.

EMA - エピセンだ道を開けろ [Epicenter Michi o Akero] - Kaga Sumire / Yuki Chihiro /

La+ Darknesss

Coach - dtto, Landing - The Epicenter, Average Pts - 6.32, P/K - 1.00

Surprising doing well, considering everyone’s dark wishes. La+ is learning very well, courtesy of coach dtto, who has been especially doting on her. And Su-chan and Chii-chan have the expertise and skill, and their placement isn’t half-bad, honestly.

PBR - ピンクブレイン [Pink Brain] - Hanabusa Lisa / Fura Kanato / Makaino Ririmu

Coach - YuFuNa, Landing - Overlook, Average Pts - 6.15, P/K - 1.32

Unusually strong and Lisa really works well with these two. Not a favorite, but certainly a contender to be in at the first half, at least, if not placing overall.

TSB - Team Snake Bite - Axel Syrios / Selen Tatsuki / Regis Altare

Coach - Nocturnal, Landing - Fragment East, Average Pts - 6.11, P/K - 1.03

Yes, there is the enormous ping. But their BIG BRAIN moves mostly paid off and they have placed well several times, and won a couple, I think? Not a winner, but still pretty good.

SDM - sadame gaming - Ichinose Uruha / Komori Met / Ibrahim

Coach - Uruca, Landing - Skyhook West, Average Pts - 6.10, P/K - 1.21

Are people watching this team? I guess they are, but they aren’t saying much. I guess this is such a typical team that no one thinks they are worth really commentating, so there.

DKQ - デカに9 [Dekani9] - Shinomiya Runa / Kaminari Qpi / Hizaki Gamma

Coach - Rinshan, Landing - Lava City, Average Pts - 5.95, P/K - 0.73

They are the outside moves, so when they do well, they do well, when they don’t… well… so, in aggregate they stand right near the middle. They aren’t bad, it’s just the rest is too good.

JWB - Jewel Box - Nekota Tsuna / Tokoyami Towa / Yakumo Beni

Coach - Cpt, Landing - Thermal Station, Average Pts - 5.86, P/K - 0.79

Relatively strong, but rarely if ever gets first place. They are 90% of the way there, but there is always something missing. Hey, they did win the derby though, so there’s that.

SRD - StarReiDogs - Shirayuki Reid / Hoshikawa Sara / Aruse Inu

Coach - BobSappAim, Landing - The Geyser, Average Pts - 4.95, P/K - 1.02

Definitely middle of the pack as far as fighting goes. Hasn’t excelled, but hasn’t faltered either.

ITL - INUTOLION - Shishigami Leona / Inui Shinichiro / Hira Hikari

Coach - AhnuG, Landing - Landslide, Average Pts - 4.68, P/K - 0.83

Had a rough start, being a team that is not familiar with the competitive scene, but they have managed to position themselves better. They won’t be last now, although placing? We’ll see.

PAM - ぴんくあらもーど [Pink a la Mode] - Ha Yun / Yang Nari / Minase

Coach - H1yaA, Landing - Big Maude, Average Pts - 4.60, P/K - 1.74

After a very public fallout, Laeria was replaced with Minase, and boy did they do better. Unfortunately they peaked a bit too early, but they aren’t doing bad. Nari is doing okay, considering everything and they have pretty good teamwork. Fun team to watch.

NJD - NJDestroy - Ratna Petit / Naraka / Naruse Naru

Coach - Alelu, Landing - The Tree, Average Pts - 4.10, P/K - 1.37

Kind of struggling after changing some Legends due to the new meta and all, and they never really popped off, although I guess this is not a team that will pop off anyways.

SSM - ☆Starry Sky Magic☆ - Astel Leda / Asumi Sena / Ars Almal

Coach - Sumomo, Landing - Launch Site, Average Pts - 3.81, P/K - 0.79

Welp… has this team gone under fire. Both Astel and Ars have big heads… well, for Ars, it’s more physical, but you know… anyway there were a ton of arguments throughout the scrims and while they have made up for the most part, it’s still a very rocky team.

KGH - 関西元気保安協会 [Kansai Genki Hoan Kyoukai] - Honma Himawari / Shiina Yuika /

Utai Meika

Coach - Mukai, Landing - Survey Camp, Average Pts - 3.65, P/K - 1.86

Welcome to the bottom of the barrel, people. Meika is just not good enough to compete with these monster teams, but they have surprised the crowd at times, so maybe?

KTG - 花鳥牛月 [Katyougetsu] - Tachibana Hinano / Watanari Hibari / Uzuki Kou

Coach - Mondo, Landing - Fragment West, Average Pts - 2.95, P/K - 1.05

Okay, maybe Hinano wasn’t a 9pt, and they literally changed their IGL at the last moment, because Kou has been on better teams before… or something like that.

MSA - まゆみ堂しろあんせっと [Mayumi-do Shiroan Set] - Yukishiro Mahiro / Seto Miyako /

And Uge

Coach - Tsubaki, Landing - Skyhook East, Average Pts - 2.93, P/K - 1.93

They kind of missed several games, including the entire first day, and they never really did much, although they are kind of going up as the time goes on, so who knows???

SSK - 三清傑 [Sanseiketsu] - Natsuiro Matsuri / Elu the Elf / Aizawa Ema

Coach - rpr, Landing - Lava Fissure, Average Pts - 2.82, P/K - 0.88

Look, they are seiso. They can’t be all killing people. They are squeezed by two of the most powerful teams and they never get off. One time they did, they won, so… you know. They are good, Matsuri is one of the best IGL out there, just… they are in a bad place right now.

March 16, 2023

Since the sixty members of the current teams have been announced, I will write the brief summary for the teams. I will do this again, once they receive their landmarks.

Team 1 - Shirayuki Reid / Hoshikawa Sara / Aruse Inu

Shibuya Hal’s bias is clearly shown as the team consists of Hal’s best friend, Hal’s Not Girlfriend, and one of best NeoPorte members with a point discount. Certainly a capable team, but as Hal himself comments, there are other strong teams on this tourney.

Team 2 - Nekota Tsuna / Tokoyami Towa / Yakumo Beni

Kind of expected, a return of the dynamic duo that is Tsuna and Towa with Beni on two. First of four teams where two strong members are accompanied by a Valorant leaning player. The trick is to make sure that the third person actually gets good and doesn't mess up.

Team 3 - Honma Himawari / Shiina Yuika / Utai Meika

The Kansai Team. Meika is gonna have to carry the team, because the other two are the closest to Hololive Gamers as Nijisanji Gamers gets, if you know what I mean.

Team 4 - Hanabusa Lisa / Fura Kanato / Makaino Ririmu

The hinge is going to be Ririmu here. Going to be a fun team to watch with the combined energy of Lisa and Kanato juxtaposed with Rirmu’s quiet but improving soul.

Team 5 - Ichinose Uruha / Komori Met / Ibrahim

As Hal himself puts it, a really well-balanced team. With a good placement, they could probably place in the podium. And the banter between the three will be fantastic as well.

Team 6 - Virtual Gorilla / Yozuna Niu / Kaga Nazuna

Gorilla has much less of a struggle here, considering he has much more capable teammates this time around. Of course, who knows where Nazuna will pop off, but yeah.

Team 7 - Astel Leda / Asumi Sena / Ars Almal

Astel the troublemaker is back again, free from his self-imposed restraints, but the big problem for them is if Marumaru can keep up with the pace of the tournament.

Team 8 - Shishigami Leona / Inui Shinichiro / Hira Hikari

Off the beaten path, but I’m well versed in these parts, so the team itself is going to do fine. Didn’t know that Hikari was good at APEX though, although I heard after the announcement. These three are very good - Leona and Hikari are good at singing as well.

Team 9 - Pakael / Rikkaroid / Kuga Leo

An interesting mix. Rikkaroid is about halfway between a surefire win and a disaster. Kuga Leo getting measly 4 pt even though he teaches Valorant is one of the largest scams here.

Team 10 - Tachibana Hinano / Watanari Hibari / Uzuki Kou

This team basically is the leftover kind of cobble together. Apparently Inu (the NeoPorte guy) put Hibari on this team at his insistence. Well, it’s not going to be a mess, they are all capable.

Team 11 - Kurumi Noah / Higuchi Kaede / Tosaki Mimi

Another pretty solid lineup. Noah is the best that 9pt can give you, Deron always seems to pop off during opportune moments, and Mimi is a dependable member as well.

Team 12 - Shinomiya Runa / Kaminari Qpi / Hizaki Gamma

A surprising third, not that I mind. UPROAR is fantastic, although I think Gamma is the best out of the four (maybe except Uyu?). Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see the interaction here.

Team 13 - Natsuiro Matsuri / Elu the Elf / Aizawa Ema

The self-proclaimed Seiso team. Another well balanced team. Matsuri shines her best during tournaments due to her fantastic observation skills and Elu grinds APEX every afternoon.

Team 14 - Axel Syrios / Selen Tatsuki / Regis Altare

Selen was almost barred due to her past, but she deservingly received that 10 points. An all-English team, meaning ping is going to be terrible, but they are used to the disadvantage and their skills are absolutely enough to overcome that disadvantage. Will win a scrim or two.

Team 15 - Kaga Sumire / Yuki Chihiro / La+ Darknesss

Another two strong and a Valo player build. Sumire has put herself in very dark waters as she has put two of the best known kusogaki together in a high-stake competition.

Team 16 - Kanae / Lauren Iroas / Yuuhi Riri

All the players need one extra point. Absolute one of the stronger teams, all Nijisanji, all very much capable, long time competitors and so on. A team to watch, for sure.

Team 17 - Ha Yun / Yang Nari / Hijirime Laeria

Two NijiKR and Laeria, which is a surprising but a good choice. Definitely gets into the spirit of new but well-welcomed players here. Let’s see Nari can conquer World’s Edge as well.

Team 18 - Yukishiro Mahiro / Seto Miyako / And Uge

Kind of an aunt club, honestly. Not that they aren’t terrible players, Miyako has been playing APEX since the start and Uge is known to shine… and Mahimahi is the leader.

Team 19 - Ratna Petit / Naraka / Naruse Naru

Putechi’s team feels like your most prototypical VSaikyo team, if I were to be honest. Obviously three pretty strong players, if the mental doesn’t break, definitely could place at podium.

Team 20 - Kuzuha / Ex Albio / Fuwa Minato

Return of the AQF from Season 2. Looking at Fuwa’s previous team, I’m a bit worried at Ebio is going to leave the company soon, but whatever… let’s see if they can get serious.
