@@mad0813 gura didn't do bad last EN tournament but she was sick I recall and never practiced. I know she didn't make that excuse but that was just a fact. The B placement motivated her to practice and she did very well.

I just realized how consistent Miko was throughout the finals lol I remember when she explained what being elite is all about. You keep trying and trying and giving it your best until you make it. Mikochi did really well this year. Ikuzo 35P!
To me this is the big Dark Horse of the entire tournament that's flying completely under the radar. I mean no disrespect but I'd consider her bottom tier or lower tier for Mario Kart when you look at her past performances. She didn't train hardcore like Watame or Gura and she didn't have a reputation like Pekora where she's viewed as some "wild card" that can excel even when the game isn't exactly her forte. Miko legitimately just came out of friggin' nowhere and did *waaaaaaaaaaaay* better than expected. Only 4 people in the entire tournament placed higher than her when she used to be one of the players ranking amongst the bottom four. Miko's tournament performance compared to her standard is an absolutely insane difference.
a true elite character development I guess all those races, lost, frustration became her stepping stone to be better, she may not be best at gaming but she is becoming better
Watame hardwork was paid off she finally get 1st place one Elite Miko practices shows a lot of result in consistency Gura the prontagonist background story for the next tournament Okayu OP skill even with her "i am taking it easy but full of focus tehe" Suisei the actual final boss everyone has to take but actually a long and painful arc of training Man if you watch everyone's arc it feels like a sport anime
Congrats for Okayu as a hoshiyomi we are sad but like Suichan said, the tournament was fun. there are a lot of unexpected event and darkhorses. hope we can see next year tournament with a lot of newcomer too.
Wow, that's a nailbiter situation right before round 4. You had Okayu and Suisei in a tug-of-war for first place and a VERY hot seat for third between Towa, Miko, Marine, Gura, and Watame. Props to Gura and Marine for bringing it back the way they did in the final round.
Well, Gura mostly first before other surpass Her at last second from finish after getting bonk by many Item 🗿🗿🗿 Okayu really unexpected but She also strong so... 👀👀
@@zir456 You obviously don't watch Okayu if you thought she was "unexpected." Okayu was 3rd in 2019 & 4th in 2020. She was always a threat, Aqua considered her the biggest threat with Suisei as the wildcard. Gura didn't even place first in any race in the Finals. She did good but by the time of the 4th race, she was only really fighting for 3rd at best.
Man, Gura though, many doubted her, didnt expect she will get far, even herself wasnt feeling very confident, but she proved everyone wrong, she is now one of the strong candidates for the hololive mariokart throne by finishing 4th overall in this winners cup
@@KurniadiAvicena9119 Well.. sure. If Suisei didn't get bad RNG she would have won the Cup too. If Reine didn't get mushrooms 99% at the time, she could have done better. Everyone can make a lot of excuses as why they lost in Mario Kart. But it is what it is.
@@Cosmoman78 lol... the duality of Reine and Suisei... Reine got mushroom most of the time, even when she is dead last... meanwhile Suisei, needed mushroom so bad in order to sliding through the shortcut...
HoloID with Reine, Myth and Council with Gura and Kronii, the generations and branches were well represented through the entire tournament. It was heated match after match, and it makes me really proud seeing Miko fighting side by side with Suichan sensei, she worked really hard too. Thank you for the amazing compilation as always.
I love how miko was consistently on 4th to 5th place range throughout the winners Cup. She was really great throughout the tourney with clutch chases on final lap throughout all races. I wanna believe she can reach top 3 next year. Lezgoooooo!!!
I just realized, last year Aqua cried as well after getting 2nd place just like Suisei did this year, and they're both champions of the previous year's tournaments. I guess they really do take holding the title seriously.
In this tournament Miko did very well, taking fifth place, even though she hasn't been able to train much recently as she was busy for half of last month moving into her new house and then had to organize the Mikorone 24h, in this tournament there were many members that trained a lot so it was even more important to get this place
I'm glad that we got a new winner this time around. Don't get me wrong I like Suisei, but I also like it, when the golden trophy is passed to someone else.
The problem with susei is her 1st race and the last race get her into 8th place, if he stay consistent on the podium she probably win it, especially both her and okayu got two 1st place each.
@@jon-unicorn-doxxer you could say the same about anyone else in the top 5 tbh, if they stayed consistent any could've been 1st place not only suisei, but that's the magic of Mario Kart, you are going to have bad races

Okayu’s attitude for this race was amazing, I think her level headedness and her optimism lead a key factor in her getting first place. It’s really satisfying seeing her get that golden trophy after last years RNGesus decided to smite her, preventing her from reaching the podium
Okayu really kept it cool and chill throughout the tournament. Even big misses and hiccups that could have easily cost her dearly didn't really bother her that much and she recovered almost instantly. She really deserve the win! Congrats to Okayu! This was an amazing tournament. So much comedy, drama, supports, struggles, tears and joy and amazing gameplay from all the girls!
I mean, duh... xD Thats just how Okayu rolls. She never gets upset about things like that, neither in MK nor in any other game (apart from maybe Slither.io xD). But that's also not surprising, as I said, thats just how she always is.
What I noticed in this year's tournament is how training arc really affect everyone. I watched Gura's MK stream one time and her driving is really stable compared to before. Honestly I'm not that surprised seeing her in B group's 3rd place, that's well-earned. Subaru, with all her screaming on Subaoka's collab, actually managed to hold her ground and put up a good race during prelims. Her number one weakness is over-reacting for every little things but she managed to control herself and stay calm this time. I didn't manage to catch Watame's MK stream but I remember catching a glimpse where she's trying to remember the course and shortcuts, and her joining upper bracket is well-deserved. Imma watch her POV later. I might not watched everyone's effort but I can say this year's result is satisfying and no hard feeling at all. Looking forward to next year's tournament!
@@AC2k14GOD I mean that was the last 2 times if you wanted to see Aqua at peak form. She won and placed 2nd the last 2 years but it is a curse that the past champion always places 2nd the next year.
@@AC2k14GOD I wouldn't say that she had a poor showing though. She played extremely well in multiple maps. She lost a lot on strategy as she had two races where she was in the lead for pretty much the entire race (one of which she ended up in 9/10th place by getting hit by items right at the end). I'd say that she was pretty unlucky and didn't have the best strategy but Mario Kart do be like that.
the first round really made suisei chances smaller, but she is a monster and gave okayu a good fight finishing second, congrats to all the girls, they all got so much better, it was by far the best tournament to date.
2019 Aqua won first tournament, while suisei not make it to the main tournament 2021 Suisei won the second tournament, while aqua second place 2022 Aqua not make it to the main tournament, while Suisei second place Damn the cycle
Okayu finally getting that W after being mistreated by RNGsus last year is well deserved. Suisei did really really well as expected and the easygoing pirate did well to keep her spot from last year lol. Our lovely stinky orca did exceptionally well in the qualifiers but choked really hard in the finals. She accidentally enabled gyro controls so that must've been the reason why she was having such a hard time controlling the buggy but it is what it is. She and the others were clearly having fun and that's what matters most.
It was like 2:45 a.m and i was kinda high so when Okayu won and suddenly let out a scream I really got scared but then I realized that our neko had won so I screamed with her and woke up every member of this family. Anyways, congratulations to our Okayu and everyone for their efforts.
Watching the Mario Kart Tournaments makes me feel like watching MotoGP or F1 races, or off road races. They are unexpected, but its not all just luck, it also requires skill the most.
Okayu was far too laid back the whole time. She got to the end and suddenly realized she has to make a speech and only then did she start showing any signs of nervousness.
Watching Reine's POV the whole time of the final, it was hilarious and I can feel her pain and sufferings, especially because of the Mushrooms, in total I believe she got like 100+ mushrooms. I appreciated her efforts the whole tournament, she really was training hard even though the whole training arc already giving her the red flag about the mushrooms 😂
im really happy for gura, she trained so hard for the tourney and seemed down because of the powerhouses in B block, not many people thought she would do as well as she did. im glad she got third place in b block and fourth in finals
She was also heavily sleep deprived at that moment. When she got 3rd place that earned her a spot in last tournament, she was "Wait, did I got it?! But I'm so sleepy... T_T" Yet despite it all, she managed to pull 4th in majors. Sasuga hydrodinamic!
She was always a threat to begin with first cup she's in 3rd second cup she tied for 4th place Suisei and aqua always said in their practice stream the one they gotta watch out is none other than the chill catto herself
Everyone did great though, I hate seeing fans make excuses for the members bc the members had fun and didn't make excuses so please know the members were all good sports. Even those that just barely missed podium in each race had such a good attitude.
Exactly, lve been hiding my support for gura for this reason. It’s been demoralizing as a fan to see a small but loud percent of the young shrimps acting like stuck up snobs and hating on other mems just to idolize gura and give invalid excuses as to why she wasn’t on podium. But I guess that’s the price of fame, once those numbers started going past that of pekora these kinds of fans are kinda just a given unfortunately
@@silverlux7266 Honestly, I think Gura stands out because she got Mario Karted hard in the 4th race in the finals. Everyone noticed her going 1st and 2nd for most of it, and then plummeting to dead last. That's a stand out thing to happen no matter the player.
@@Recidivous yeah I was frustrated when I saw that in reine’s POV too, but I think we still shouldn’t overstate this incident as a fanbase because in the end of the day this kind of rng is to be expected. Not saying you shouldn’t feel emotions, just that instead of constantly calling this one incident out we should be proud of how far gura has come instead, and cheer on the other holo mems too because they also put in a lot of training and strategy into their crafts
@@silverlux7266 I think we all know that. Still, it's pretty frustrating that other fans don't let us have a single line of complaint just because they think every Shrimp is bad. Other than that instance of poor luck, the entire tournament was a lot of fun to watch. I watched everyone that was streaming and cheered for everyone.
@@Recidivous now that I’m reading all the comments of the other fanbases I realize your arguments validity. I retract my previous statement, why tf is the community going so harsh on us?
Senchou and 3rd can't never forget each other lol... Anyway thumbs up to Gura, Kronii and Reine for represent their division very well in the winners cup.
So sad for Aqutan who can't manage it this time, she's been working hard and playing well too. GG 🤝 Also as for Sui-chan I've been cheering her from the first match till final but sadly she can't get the winner right now, but that is a lot of fun watching this tourney. A lot of unexpected moment's happen in this tourney. Also Gura really break the doubt if she can get to final, really proud to her actually, I don't expect her can go this far. Her training really pay full here 👏👏 And for Okayu, she's really doing better this time compared to last year tourney. Good job and congrats for the win, she deserve it.
Okayu is always being a contender to win since the 1st tourney and Suisei is the dark horse on the 2nd tourney. I recall both of them training together last year and this year though. Also, Subaru and Miko who trains under Okayu and Suisei made it into the finals is a feat.
A-chan: OF ALL THE DRAMA, OF ALL THE CONTROVERSY, OF ALL THE MAGIC MOMENTS, IN MARIO KART IN 2022 IT HAS COME DOWN TO THIS AND AS OF THIS MOMENT IT IS GOING THE WAY OF NEKOMATA OKAYU, GEN 0 NOT HAPPY, GAMERS WILL BE DELIGHTED THEY HACE SHARED A BRILLIANT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE BUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP CAN ONLY BE WON BY ONE AND IT'S GOING GAMERS IN 2022, NEKOMATA OKAYU FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!! HOSHIMACHI SUISEI COMES IN 2ND PLACE AFTER LEADING FOR SO SO LONG Mio: OH MY LORD OKAYU!!!!!
It was a very intense tournament with Okayu winning with 69 points Lol Gura was the dark horse, I actually wrote her off till I watched her stream. Honestly so proud of everyone for practicing so much, there is always next year if anyone wants a sweet revenge.
I think everyone who hasn't watched Gura thought that she'd have no chance lol and even her active viewers didn't see that much because she practiced off stream most of the time. I always believed in her, but the end result really surprised me. After she made it into the finals, I expected her to reach 5-7
@@anhh1723 i think she was too tired to talk and wanted to focus on the races more. She could've made a mute stream, but i guess she thought that a mute stream isn't worth it. I would've loved to see her live reaction at the end though.
Kinda bummed that Aqua didn’t make it this year but it’s totally understandable with what else she’s got going on in her life. But still good luck to the rest
Sad Sui-chan is crushing my heart. She's always so cool and energetic, but she really felt that second place. The worst part is that even if she could have gotten the third place in the last race, I don't think Sui-chan could have won anyways :/ GG Ogayu, sasuga gamer catto.
Would have depending on okayu's placement but as close as she was i don't see there any light. Okayu was too far away/ too close up to her for Suisei to get her but still sad to Suisei tearing up from that
I watched everyones from Towa stream since she was the one organizing it and had all of the POV. As soon as i see Okayu and Suisei getting on part until the last 2 races , i knew it will be only down to whoever get a better podium on the last race. Even with Marine's win (who give her the 3rd placement), if Suisei crossed the line 3rd she would be the winner of the cup, but cat's luck on that last strech (when Suisei was struck twice before the finish line) and Okayu manage to cross it before Suisei and Suisei end up 8th. That last race keep me at the edge of the seat, but noneless i was betting for both Okayu and Suisei as the best options and i wasn't wrong. ALSO, Okayu's points... NICE!
Suisei is so close to becoming the returning champion for the tournament. Okayu is the winner for the tournament. She end up relinquish the championship to Okayu. Great effort Suisei. She came in 2nd
4:37 Okayu is so chill. That 'baga' is so cute!!! I like that Okayu won, because this year's Suisei is like last year's Aqua. Also very proud how well Miko did, she practice a lot, and surprise a lot of people.
Congratulations to Okayu! As expected of Hololive Gamer! Last year I was rooting for Aqua. It hurt seeing her sad to get second by one point. It was also where I learned about Suisei and became a Suisei fan. This year I was rooting for Suisei...maybe I'm bringing bad luck to the ones I'm supporting.
wow what a game! suisei, the princess of games got 2nd in a hard fought event. the sencho also showed her skills as well. and lastly, congratulations okayu!
Man, that last few seconds on the last round was very unlucky for Sui-chan. She got hit by a shell and is very near the finish line. 3rd place to 8th in an instant. Come back stronger next year Sui-chan!
I like that Okayu won without choosing the Waluigi and wiggler combo that was predominant in the tournament. Hopefully it went to show that there is no real "optimal" setup, unless you're going for world records, and that track and item knowledge are way more important that picking the right vehicle combos. I'll even go further and say that Irys actually wound up performing a bit worse due to swapping to the meta at the last second instead of just sticking to what she was already comfortable with.
This year had to have been the best year for this tournament. Everybody has improved so much and it was so much fun to watch from start to finish. I'm proud of everyone who participated, so many twists and turns and my expectations basically shat on. I'm looking forward to next year.
well she is STRONG and she takes PRIDE on it, she does her BEST and that is why she is FRUSTRATED about it, but EVERYONE does their BEST some in their own way like OKAYU, but this time it was not her moment
Reine; 3:02 Okayu; 3:07 Blue Shell exist 4:15 Suisei; *NOPE!* As expected from the pro gamer cat Okayu and as for Suisei, really happy to see she still having fun even though she "lost" (really shows how competitive she is).
@@jakubgrzybek6181 She's pretty much exhausted and depended on energy drinks. Still proud of her, getting out of the hellish qualifier alive, and snatched 4th place against seasoned veterans and defending champion.
This was such an intense game lmao. I was watching from Watame’s POV and her track knowledge and item play were absolutely insane. She basically dominated group C but it was unfortunate how unlucky she got in the finals. Senchou and Gura did amazingly as well, honestly kind of thought the nerves would have gotten to Gura in the end but she managed to keep it together. Really proud of the Shork
It was a really intense final race. The way the points distributed are quite well-rounded, meaning that the positions easily change between the front and the back. Suisei truly had to work very hard this year. I can't get enough on how vicious Gura is in this. She's basically making her presence as the apex predator, unfazed by the champion and the other strong players. She seems rather sleepy though, so she probably end up losing focus in the end.
This show why Susei and Okayu are the best, they did few mistakes than the others. For example Marine did so many misatkes in 4 track and why she got close to Okayu in the 5 track, when Okayu has that green shell. Too bad Mio got disconnected, she and watame showed they were the best player of C group. Since I watched that Ina x Gura collab 2 week ago, I knew Gura could be a dark horse. She should practice some shortcuts and Take some corners better for the next tournament. Still Salty than Senchou did took 1st place but Happy we have a need champion. PD: Senchou taking those shortcuts in bigblue was very great.
Vibing and making lewd noises to victory. That is how the Okayu do.
And she won with 69 points.

nah still kinda disappointing that Aqua wasn’t in her best form
it would have been a blast watching Aqua in the Champions Cup in her peak
@@AC2k14GOD I mean that was the last 2 times if you wanted to see Aqua at peak form. She won and placed 2nd the last 2 years but it is a curse that the past champion always places 2nd the next year.
@@remforrest rusty Aqua did not practice that much hence the tournament got robbed of a very great champions cup
@@AC2k14GOD I wouldn't say that she had a poor showing though. She played extremely well in multiple maps. She lost a lot on strategy as she had two races where she was in the lead for pretty much the entire race (one of which she ended up in 9/10th place by getting hit by items right at the end). I'd say that she was pretty unlucky and didn't have the best strategy but Mario Kart do be like that.
The main protagonist of this anime episode of course was introduced first
the first round really made suisei chances smaller, but she is a monster and gave okayu a good fight finishing second, congrats to all the girls, they all got so much better, it was by far the best tournament to date.

@@RizzerixLP Damn now that's an even more fitting concidence
@@xuanhuy6735 and marine still 3rd
Okayu finally getting that W after being mistreated by RNGsus last year is well deserved. Suisei did really really well as expected and the easygoing pirate did well to keep her spot from last year lol.
Our lovely stinky orca did exceptionally well in the qualifiers but choked really hard in the finals. She accidentally enabled gyro controls so that must've been the reason why she was having such a hard time controlling the buggy but it is what it is. She and the others were clearly having fun and that's what matters most.
Congratulations on the Top 3!!! Okazu, Bushimachi and Boomer on winning!! ❤️
It was like 2:45 a.m and i was kinda high so when Okayu won and suddenly let out a scream I really got scared but then I realized that our neko had won so I screamed with her and woke up every member of this family. Anyways, congratulations to our Okayu and everyone for their efforts.
I can imagine Okayu selling onigiri with that outfit
Senchou is the gatekeeper.
3rd place.
And EoSD 3stage boss the Gatekeeper of SDM. Seems acurate
Senchou queen of back to back 3rd place..still Podium is podium tho,,, no trophy on 4th place.
And Okayu's a sneaky catto
Watching the Mario Kart Tournaments makes me feel like watching MotoGP or F1 races, or off road races. They are unexpected, but its not all just luck, it also requires skill the most.
Meanwhile Reine during final "You f*ckken mushroom!! "
Okayu was far too laid back the whole time. She got to the end and suddenly realized she has to make a speech and only then did she start showing any signs of nervousness.
Watching Reine's POV the whole time of the final, it was hilarious and I can feel her pain and sufferings, especially because of the Mushrooms, in total I believe she got like 100+ mushrooms. I appreciated her efforts the whole tournament, she really was training hard even though the whole training arc already giving her the red flag about the mushrooms 😂
im really happy for gura, she trained so hard for the tourney and seemed down because of the powerhouses in B block, not many people thought she would do as well as she did. im glad she got third place in b block and fourth in finals
As part of the Aqua crew I'm happy that the disciple did so well!
She was also heavily sleep deprived at that moment.
When she got 3rd place that earned her a spot in last tournament, she was "Wait, did I got it?! But I'm so sleepy... T_T"
Yet despite it all, she managed to pull 4th in majors.
Sasuga hydrodinamic!
@@NotASummoner aqua has upcoming solo concert this January, so yeah lack of practice for the onion.
The game is already heated, but Okayu random ecchi noise just make it -worse- better for my heart
Suisei got Aqua'd at the end
That is the last year champion curse... Will we see Okayu like this in the next year tournament?? See you guys at 2023
omg dude don´t bring me back those feelings , i cry like a baby that time
Okayu: "My desktop wallpaper is Gura"
Same here 😂
I see what you are doing here fellow takodachi…
Same desu
Same here lol
I thought Suisei was dangerous watching Group B but Okayu is a Beast in the winning Cup.
She was always a threat to begin with first cup she's in 3rd second cup she tied for 4th place
Suisei and aqua always said in their practice stream the one they gotta watch out is none other than the chill catto herself
@@gravls2128 clip or stream?
Everyone did great though, I hate seeing fans make excuses for the members bc the members had fun and didn't make excuses so please know the members were all good sports. Even those that just barely missed podium in each race had such a good attitude.
Exactly, lve been hiding my support for gura for this reason. It’s been demoralizing as a fan to see a small but loud percent of the young shrimps acting like stuck up snobs and hating on other mems just to idolize gura and give invalid excuses as to why she wasn’t on podium. But I guess that’s the price of fame, once those numbers started going past that of pekora these kinds of fans are kinda just a given unfortunately
@@silverlux7266 Honestly, I think Gura stands out because she got Mario Karted hard in the 4th race in the finals. Everyone noticed her going 1st and 2nd for most of it, and then plummeting to dead last. That's a stand out thing to happen no matter the player.
@@Recidivous yeah I was frustrated when I saw that in reine’s POV too, but I think we still shouldn’t overstate this incident as a fanbase because in the end of the day this kind of rng is to be expected. Not saying you shouldn’t feel emotions, just that instead of constantly calling this one incident out we should be proud of how far gura has come instead, and cheer on the other holo mems too because they also put in a lot of training and strategy into their crafts
@@silverlux7266 I think we all know that. Still, it's pretty frustrating that other fans don't let us have a single line of complaint just because they think every Shrimp is bad. Other than that instance of poor luck, the entire tournament was a lot of fun to watch. I watched everyone that was streaming and cheered for everyone.
@@Recidivous now that I’m reading all the comments of the other fanbases I realize your arguments validity. I retract my previous statement, why tf is the community going so harsh on us?
Okayu out there releasing her yabai lewd power and finishing at 69
Senchou and 3rd can't never forget each other lol...
Anyway thumbs up to Gura, Kronii and Reine for represent their division very well in the winners cup.
Its Impressing seeing Okayu & Suisei how both of them can really calm all the time 😅 meanwhile the others was so Chaotic
8:10
Look Lis, you can pinpoint the exact moment where her heart breaks in half.
So sad for Aqutan who can't manage it this time, she's been working hard and playing well too. GG 🤝
Also as for Sui-chan I've been cheering her from the first match till final but sadly she can't get the winner right now, but that is a lot of fun watching this tourney. A lot of unexpected moment's happen in this tourney.
Also Gura really break the doubt if she can get to final, really proud to her actually, I don't expect her can go this far. Her training really pay full here 👏👏
And for Okayu, she's really doing better this time compared to last year tourney. Good job and congrats for the win, she deserve it.
so proud of Watame!
And so TeTe, that Watame took 1st Place on the Dragon Course Map! - 5:29
Yeah, it's always in my opinion that Dragon Road gives buff to 4th gen.
Marine staying on 3rd place is the true champion in my eyes
It's silly how proud I got when Marine came in first.
Okayu is always being a contender to win since the 1st tourney and Suisei is the dark horse on the 2nd tourney. I recall both of them training together last year and this year though. Also, Subaru and Miko who trains under Okayu and Suisei made it into the finals is a feat.
It's really the year of tiger, okayu really did well, she really deserved it
A-chan: OF ALL THE DRAMA, OF ALL THE CONTROVERSY, OF ALL THE MAGIC MOMENTS, IN MARIO KART IN 2022 IT HAS COME DOWN TO THIS AND AS OF THIS MOMENT IT IS GOING THE WAY OF NEKOMATA OKAYU, GEN 0 NOT HAPPY, GAMERS WILL BE DELIGHTED THEY HACE SHARED A BRILLIANT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE BUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP CAN ONLY BE WON BY ONE AND IT'S GOING GAMERS IN 2022, NEKOMATA OKAYU FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!!
HOSHIMACHI SUISEI COMES IN 2ND PLACE AFTER LEADING FOR SO SO LONG
Mio: OH MY LORD OKAYU!!!!!
It was a very intense tournament with Okayu winning with 69 points Lol
Gura was the dark horse, I actually wrote her off till I watched her stream.
Honestly so proud of everyone for practicing so much, there is always next year if anyone wants a sweet revenge.
I think everyone who hasn't watched Gura thought that she'd have no chance lol and even her active viewers didn't see that much because she practiced off stream most of the time. I always believed in her, but the end result really surprised me. After she made it into the finals, I expected her to reach 5-7
@@bwabbel yea, wish she would had streamed but it was 4am for her Lol
@@anhh1723 i think she was too tired to talk and wanted to focus on the races more. She could've made a mute stream, but i guess she thought that a mute stream isn't worth it. I would've loved to see her live reaction at the end though.
She did members MK stream and we seen how much she improved and the public stream with Fauna she did really well also. She was just going on no sleepm
Kinda bummed that Aqua didn’t make it this year but it’s totally understandable with what else she’s got going on in her life. But still good luck to the rest
Aqua was flawless she just got "mario kart'd"
When you get hit by everything and get no good drops
Okayu used lewd voice strategy.. And won with 69 NICE
People arguing in the comments when we should be just letting it all slide and realize how fun this was for the girls smh
Sad Sui-chan is crushing my heart. She's always so cool and energetic, but she really felt that second place. The worst part is that even if she could have gotten the third place in the last race, I don't think Sui-chan could have won anyways :/
GG Ogayu, sasuga gamer catto.
Would have depending on okayu's placement but as close as she was i don't see there any light. Okayu was too far away/ too close up to her for Suisei to get her but still sad to Suisei tearing up from that
I watched everyones from Towa stream since she was the one organizing it and had all of the POV. As soon as i see Okayu and Suisei getting on part until the last 2 races , i knew it will be only down to whoever get a better podium on the last race. Even with Marine's win (who give her the 3rd placement), if Suisei crossed the line 3rd she would be the winner of the cup, but cat's luck on that last strech (when Suisei was struck twice before the finish line) and Okayu manage to cross it before Suisei and Suisei end up 8th. That last race keep me at the edge of the seat, but noneless i was betting for both Okayu and Suisei as the best options and i wasn't wrong.
ALSO, Okayu's points... NICE!
I believe Suisei will be back in the finals next year... And it will be much more more fun next year, everyone is getting better
Suisei is so close to becoming the returning champion for the tournament. Okayu is the winner for the tournament. She end up relinquish the championship to Okayu. Great effort Suisei. She came in 2nd
Thank you always noises V san,
U always make long translations,
ありがとうございます
Okayu be like 'bananas!', 'all you can eat banana', 'ah, my ass', 'itadakimasu'.
4:37 Okayu is so chill. That 'baga' is so cute!!!
I like that Okayu won, because this year's Suisei is like last year's Aqua.
Also very proud how well Miko did, she practice a lot, and surprise a lot of people.
Reine got mushrooms festival
God when Watame got 1st place i was screaming even im at my workplace
Reine surely loved by mushroom xd
Don't worry Sui-chan. Sui-chan wa kyou mo kakkoii!!
Reine didnt have talent as a racer but expert as a farmer with lots of mushroom
Tags: mindbreak, mushrooms
a farmer life suits her more than driver
@@cemanz car engine laugh supremacy
Okayu is just super chill the entire time. Doing GAMERS proud.
Congratulations to Okayu! As expected of Hololive Gamer!
Last year I was rooting for Aqua. It hurt seeing her sad to get second by one point. It was also where I learned about Suisei and became a Suisei fan. This year I was rooting for Suisei...maybe I'm bringing bad luck to the ones I'm supporting.
Please don't root for Suisei next year...
I'm so proud of Gura. I didn't really expect her to make it that far, but I knew that she has a chance. I'm so happy for her!
Okayu giving little sharkie so much praise. Gura better watch out, someone might be coming for your yubis soon.
Gura and Kronii actually taking the cup seriously got pretty far. Hope they win next time!
This tournament was great. Who knew hearing Okayu and Mio's lewd noises would make me like them any more!
wow what a game!
suisei, the princess of games got 2nd in a hard fought event.
the sencho also showed her skills as well.
and lastly, congratulations okayu!
GO FOR THE NEXT YEAR FIRST PLACE , MY COMET SUISEI!!!!
Man, that last few seconds on the last round was very unlucky for Sui-chan. She got hit by a shell and is very near the finish line. 3rd place to 8th in an instant. Come back stronger next year Sui-chan!
Gura got screwed over even harder in the second-last race; due to a series of shells, she went from 1st to 12th in the latter half of the third lap
Thats mario kart, anything can happen
@@FirstLast-uj9ud but that is normal in mk, if you stay at the front everybody right behind you will have you as target, it is a dangerous place.
I like that Okayu won without choosing the Waluigi and wiggler combo that was predominant in the tournament. Hopefully it went to show that there is no real "optimal" setup, unless you're going for world records, and that track and item knowledge are way more important that picking the right vehicle combos.
I'll even go further and say that Irys actually wound up performing a bit worse due to swapping to the meta at the last second instead of just sticking to what she was already comfortable with.
If the game had Chunky Kong, she will main Chunky Kong
Deja vu right here. The end was just like Aqua last year.
This year had to have been the best year for this tournament. Everybody has improved so much and it was so much fun to watch from start to finish. I'm proud of everyone who participated, so many twists and turns and my expectations basically shat on. I'm looking forward to next year.
you can feel Suityan is so competitive
well she is STRONG and she takes PRIDE on it, she does her BEST and that is why she is FRUSTRATED about it, but EVERYONE does their BEST some in their own way like OKAYU, but this time it was not her moment
So proud of Gura. All that hard work has paid off 😢
Good Job Reine. we know what happend to you in practice tournament and now you get rank 9 in Final Group, Congratulations
Reine; 3:02
Okayu; 3:07
Blue Shell exist
4:15 Suisei; *NOPE!*
As expected from the pro gamer cat Okayu and as for Suisei, really happy to see she still having fun even though she "lost" (really shows how competitive she is).
Okayu saying baka~ baka~ wasn’t something I realized I needed until now
Suisei was hit by so many lol, really thought she'll take the title again this year
Next year she'll definitely reclaim it
It is the champion curse, they always take 2nd the next year
Gura: I wanna go to bed.
Also Gura: Snatched podium at qualifier, made her can't go to bed.
I blame the fatigue for the loss in finals. She streamed for members and then did practice for last hour before tournament.
@@jakubgrzybek6181 She's pretty much exhausted and depended on energy drinks. Still proud of her, getting out of the hellish qualifier alive, and snatched 4th place against seasoned veterans and defending champion.
@@jakubgrzybek6181 Aqua was the one hit by exhaustion and busy sched the most
@@AC2k14GOD Gura lives in East Coast, she did this tournament at around 3 am. She was definitely tired, while it was only noon at JP.
@@AC2k14GOD but yeah aqua is busier in terms of schedule
Didn't have time to watch the stream and hasn't watch any clips , thank you for the clip Noises !
Now you guys see that this shark is not only strong in a fanfiction/animation
Okayu NICE. Happy to see Gura do so well!
This was such an intense game lmao. I was watching from Watame’s POV and her track knowledge and item play were absolutely insane. She basically dominated group C but it was unfortunate how unlucky she got in the finals. Senchou and Gura did amazingly as well, honestly kind of thought the nerves would have gotten to Gura in the end but she managed to keep it together. Really proud of the Shork
I hope gura keeps grinding that mario kart. So much potential.
I cant seeing suisei crying, i just cant, i immediately pause the clip
Marine getting 3rd again is really impressive.
Marine got 3rd place again lol. It was such a good tournament, they all showed how much they trained for it.
"you want your ride back? Youre going to have to work your way up the blacklist"
The blacklist:
It was a really intense final race. The way the points distributed are quite well-rounded, meaning that the positions easily change between the front and the back. Suisei truly had to work very hard this year. I can't get enough on how vicious Gura is in this. She's basically making her presence as the apex predator, unfazed by the champion and the other strong players. She seems rather sleepy though, so she probably end up losing focus in the end.
Honestly I really miss the high competitive spirit Aqua but I'm also glad that she had a good time enjoying the match
Marine able to defend her position ... Lol.. Congrats Ogayu & Suichan ...calm & consistent performance 👏
Choco also able to defend her position 😂
I see Reine POV she always got Mushroom in item
🍄 cursed for reine (F)
thanks for clip🏅
Everyone panicking while okayu here just making lewd noises and kalm
Hologamer Okayu overthrowed previous Cham[ion Suisei... Great match from all the members
This show why Susei and Okayu are the best, they did few mistakes than the others. For example Marine did so many misatkes in 4 track and why she got close to Okayu in the 5 track, when Okayu has that green shell.
Too bad Mio got disconnected, she and watame showed they were the best player of C group.
Since I watched that Ina x Gura collab 2 week ago, I knew Gura could be a dark horse. She should practice some shortcuts and Take some corners better for the next tournament.
Still Salty than Senchou did took 1st place but Happy we have a need champion.
PD: Senchou taking those shortcuts in bigblue was very great.
