I did wish Startend just flat out pulled out the win, but you know, lots of factors lead to the wildest results, and there were actually quite a few teams that were extremely good in scrims that basically ran into horrible ring RNG and just badly fought fights (which happens to anyone) in the actual match. Pakael's team won the most during scrims and ended up 13th for example. Kuzuha's team was really good so not surprising they ended up winning. That Abrahim guy is also way better than his rank and mostly does tourneys instead of ranked, same for Kuzuha who should honestly be Master by this point if he cared

But the whole win thing esp for Suisei is really just to prove the haters wrong. There were a lot of people who kept badgering Suisei to keep doing her music stuff or Micomet stuff etc., which this tourney resulted in quite a few really touching Micomet moments as well as a cover between 3 of the most accomplished singers in Holo. I don't see as a real fan how they would be disappointed

Suisei improved dramatically and looked like a non-newcomer in a lot of the scrims, but as the video suggest, VSaikyo is ultimately for the fun of it and to improve relations.

I feel like we literally saw the real Aqua for the first time, breaking out of her shell. We saw Suisei on a more vulnerable sphere where she isn't just effortlessly dispatching people, but she's also scarily approaching competitive levels. Everybody rooted for this team and kept helping them out just out of the kindness of their heart. Regardless of the result, this was probably my favorite VSaikyo for a lot of reasons, and I feel like despite what they initially believed, this isn't the end to Startend. I'm sure they'll also do collabs

But this kinda stuff is why I love Vtubers for sure
