The tournament was being run by a large number of players at the venue. The staff is also very busy.

Chikurin, the leading contender for the championship, also participated from Nagasaki! He also made a courtesy visit to the Governor of Nagasaki Prefecture.

The two players who made it to the Grand Final were ZETA DIVISION's double (@double4646 ) and THY's Chikurin (@chikurintut )! double has only lost one game so far! He is the winner of the final. Chikurin lost to @Niigata e-spopia, with whom he had a fierce battle at the "CELLPRO SINGLES" in May 2024, to advance to the Loosers, but he returned to the finals with a straight win without losing a single game. The match is about to get underway!

The back-and-forth battle continues, but Chicklin's first player, with a slight edge in reading, takes the first three games! They advance to the Grand Final Reset and it is the final showdown...!

Rich is the enemy!

The casters also had to pay attention to their character choices. Double chose Lowe here. The Grand Final Reset begins with a change of sides!

The first game is Chicklin's

A heated battle that goes into the final round from the first game. However, the momentum of Chikurin, who has come back from the Loosers to this point, is unstoppable.

Both players are also getting excited about their operations

The second game also went to the final round! It's double who takes it back in a tight contest. It is now 1-1!

Chicklin
Saiga NAK

Chicklin's expression hardly changed during the match. Double also showed his hearty persistence, but in the end, Chikurin won three consecutive rounds to end the match!

Both fighters have given their all
Saiga NAK

The reactions of both fighters, freed from their extreme concentration, were synchronized. Chikurin, who had not been able to produce good results recently, showed us his finished form before the summer.

VARREL | Pinya
Saiga NAK

- We are now in 3rd place!

Pinya: I've been playing only Raven since the update, but I felt good about it and was confident. I was confident, but despite that, I was knocked out 6-0 in the winner's final... I finished 3rd, but I'm really frustrated.


- What are your plans for future tournaments?

Pinya: Most recently EVO.


- Will you continue to play Raven?

Pinya: I used to finish Kuma for a while, but since the update, Raven has become stronger. I think Raven is what I am best known for, and even overseas, if I play another character, I get a scene... (laughs)!


2nd double player

Saiga NAK

- We are pleased to announce that we came in 2nd place. Congratulations!

double: Thank you very much! I am still very disappointed.


- Was there anyone other than Chikurin that you felt was tough?

double: In the first game, Ko had lost to me personally at the Kawasaki tournament, so it was a big win for me.


- I think today was the first time for Shaheen to play in the tournament, how did you feel?

double: I used Shaheen about 75% of the time in today's tournament, and I felt a good response. I really wanted to use Shaheen for the Grand Final Reset, but I didn't have enough skill and I kept making command errors, so I used Lowe's. But Chickling was very good at it. But Chickling was very good. It was a complete defeat.


- What are your plans for future tournaments?

double: I will not be participating in the EVO, but will be playing in "The MIXUP 2024," which will be the Esports World Cup. I also want to take a break from the EVO Japan 2024, as I have been playing in a series of tournaments every week since then.


1st place: Chikurin


Chiklin
Saiga NAK

- How did you feel after the tournament?

Chiklin: I think I was able to concentrate today while thinking about various routines in my mind. However, I used all the stuff like the stuff for Saudi Arabia (laughs).



- Were there any particularly tough matches throughout the day?

Chiklin: All the games were tough, but in the second game against Umashika, I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. There were a lot of really tough matches.


- I also saw some combo errors in the winners' game.

Chiklin: I just felt like I was saying to myself, "Concentrate! I would say to myself, "Concentrate! I tried to concentrate especially when I was trying to hit the target.


- Your next large-scale tournament is EVO 2024.

Chikurin: "EVO" is one of the titles I have been aiming for, so I will do my best to win!
