And here, to our surprise, Mr. Seto's name (asusjp009) appears in the kill log in the upper right corner of the screen! It seems that he and Mr. Sakura and Mr. Seguchi were all killed shortly after the match started.

In the middle of the game, quite a few people were eliminated. TIE Ru took a position on the high ground, which was advantageous in terms of terrain.
