Game 1 (Winners Semifinal)
Saiga NAKThe first match is between Framework (Zita) and gamera (Zoe). Framework was the only foreign player to advance to the finals, but he was defeated by gamera's relentless onslaught.
Game 2 (Winners Semifinals)
Saiga NAKThe second match was played between Emujima (Belial) and Tororo (Percival). The match went down to the last round of the final set, but Emujima won by a narrow margin.
Game 3 (Routers Semifinals)
Saiga NAKThe third match was played between KSI (Zoe) and Ren (Sisu). The third game started with a perfect move by Ren. Len won the match with his superior moves.
Game 4 (Routers Semifinal)
Saiga NAKThe fourth game was Kunio (Felli) vs Potaku (Metella). Both players are good at long-range attacks, so a tense pause ensues. It was 1-1 in the final set, but Potaku won by a slight margin.
Grand Final
Saiga NAKThe Grand Final is gamera player (Catalina) vs Tororo player (Percival).
Water for Fire? Against Tororo's Percival, gamera chose Katarina. Both characters fight with swords and rapiers, and some people commented that they looked like "Samurai Spirits," perhaps because gamera won the "Samurai Spirits" tournament at EVO Japan 2020.
Saiga NAKThe two players have a history of fighting each other, having competed in the grand finals of EVO 2022 and Cygames Cup Special 2023. Gamera won EVO 2022 and Tororo won the Cygames Cup Special 2023, but this time...?
Saiga NAKThe audience sometimes cheered and sometimes watched with bated breath.
Saiga NAKThe two fighters fought a breathtaking battle as they kept their distance from each other. Tororo wins the first game and brings the game to reset, but is one step short.
The winner is gamera! Congratulations!
The winner of EVO Japan 2023 "GBVS" was gamera!
Saiga NAKAfter the match, gamera and Tororo were talking and smiling.
