Explanation of the Matchup

対戦の解説

Round 1 Diamond league

xsuilx VS hametaro

I think Hametaro in the first game put ARKEMIS THE BEAR with Forcefield and Protect at the tail end to counter SAND WORM, but this countermeasure was too much. 12-cost monsters not being able to participate in the attack feels risky.

Xsuilx concentrates their attacks with Taunt, and then fends them off well with Reflection Shield. Moreover, Snipe and Explosive Weaponry work well together: Hametaro can only damage one monster, while Xsuilx can damage three. The difference is huge.

For the rest of the match, Xsuilx's use of restorative abilities is very helpful, and anyone challenging the Diamond reague would do well to take a look at him!

初戦のHametaroはSAND WORM対策にForcefieldとProtectのあるARKEMIS THE BEARを最後尾に置いたのだと思うが、この対策は過剰すぎた。12コストのモンスターが攻撃に参加できないのはリスクが大きいと感じる。

XsuilxはTauntで相手の攻撃を集中させ、Reflection Shieldで上手にいなしている。しかもSnipeとExplosive Weaponryは相性がいい。Hametaroがダメージを与えられるのは1体だが、Xsuilxは3体だ。その差は大きい。

残りの試合はXsuilxの回復系アビリティの使い方が非常に参考になる。Diamond reagueに挑戦する人は彼を参考にするといいだろう！

Round 2 Silver league

kira1995 VS zombie569

When I saw the rules for the first round, I thought I would team up with ZAKU to take advantage of LAVA SPIDER and FIRE BEETLE's Snipe. That strategy would probably be the most stable. I'm sure everyone else thinks so too.

However, everyone gets nervous when they have to take on the responsibility of team competition. I was also confused in my own games! Perhaps Kira1995 forgot that this fight is at Reverse Speed. And Zombie569 may have known this, but he left out the possibility that his opponent would choose ZAKU.

This tournament is also a battle against my own nervousness and panic.

KIRA, back on form, defeated MYLOR CROWLING's team in the third round under the Up Close and Personal rule. A brilliant VRUZ strengthened the DRAGON JUMPER to give them more chances to attack.

If I were to team up for the third round under the Up Close and Personal rule, I would have gone with ZAKU. In that case, I would have lost to Zombie569. However, his predictions did not mesh well this time, and he was eliminated.
The U.S. team was already out of reach and about to finish off the Japanese team!

初戦のルールを見たとき、ぼくならZAKUでLAVA SPIDERとFIRE BEETLEのSnipeを活かすようなチームを組むと思った。多分その作戦が一番安定するはずだ。みんなもそう思うだろう？

だけど、チーム戦の責任を背負って戦うとみんな緊張してしまう。ぼくも自分の試合は混乱したものだ！恐らくKira1995はこの戦いがReverse Speedであることを忘れている。そしてZombie569はわかっていたかもしれないが相手がZAKUを選ぶ可能性を捨てている。

この大会は緊張してパニックになってしまう自分との闘いでもあるんだ。

調子を取り戻したKIRAは3戦目、Up Close and PersonalルールでMYLOR CROWLINGのチームに勝利。見事VRUZがDRAGON JUMPERを強化して攻撃のチャンスを増やした。

もし僕が3戦目のルールでチームを組むならZAKUにしていただろう。その場合、ぼくはZombie569に負けていた。しかし彼は今回予測がうまく嚙み合わず、そのまま敗退。
早くもアメリカチームは勝負に大手をかけたのだ。

Round 3 league Random

dtoughstuff VS schnapoon(azipoon)

①Gold②Bronze③Silver④Diamond⑤Silver

Let me start off by saying. It's my game, so the explanation will be long. Sorry.

For me, this was a revenge match for Splinterfest 2022. I never thought it would come true like this.
Moreover, if I lost, it would be the end for the Japanese team. I was on the edge of a cliff, and my spirits were running high.

The League Random format is a roulette game in which each time you play against a player, you choose the league you will play in.

In the first game, Gold was on the defensive, but was crushed by a strong offensive.
Frankly, I was quite impatient.

For the second game, Bronze, I threw in the first configuration that I thought was the only one for this team. I thought about playing Sneak, but I am very glad I didn't. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. My head wasn't in the game anymore, but I was able to win one game and lose one game. I felt a little more relaxed.

The third game was Silver. I decided that normally I would pick the ZAKU team; Target Practice and Blast go well together.

So I chose LIR to compete with ZAKU. Of course, I considered the possibility of VALNAMOR, but since TINDERLOCK had Silence, I thought that a VALNAMOR team without Legend could not beat ZAKU.

However, my prediction was wrong. Dtough at this time must have been wary of VALNAMOR. The order of the teams was uncomfortable because I could not read his intention. Maybe he was in a hurry too. He managed to win. One more win to go!

In the fourth game, I was in a hurry. At first I was thinking about VALNAMOR, but suddenly I felt that ZAKU was stronger and IMMORTALIS scared me. I also thought that the LIR team would be wary of each other since I had just played them, and that they would not play me. But this is a Silver League feeling. I should not have brought it into the diamond league. I had only 20 seconds left, but it was already too late for me to start teaming up with ZAKU.
The half-hearted ZAKU team lost miserably. 2-2 now.

In the fifth round of roulette, I was stuck in the Silver League, my best league. No matter how much I cried and screamed, this was the last time. When I saw the rules, I knew this was the only way. If they countermeasure this, I could honestly give up. I was convinced that this was the team to beat.

If you have been watching my project "Defeat azipoon" on SPLTV, you know me well. It's the Martyr operation of the LAMA team that everyone loves!

Thanks to everyone who challenged me on streaming, I won. Thank you so much.

まず始めに言っておく。自分の試合なので説明が長くなります。ごめん。

ぼくにとってこれはSplinterfest2022のリベンジマッチだった。まさかこんな形で実現するとは思わなかった。
しかも、日本チームはぼくが負けたらもう終わり、その時は敗北確定。崖っぷちで気持ちは高ぶっていた。

ちなみにリーグランダムは、対戦するたびにルーレットで戦うリーグを選ぶ形式だ。

初戦のゴールドは守りに徹したが、強気な攻めに崩されてしまった。
正直、かなり焦った。

2戦目のブロンズはこのチームしかないと最初に思いついた構成をそのまま放り込んだ。裏をかいてSneakすることも考えたが、そうしなくて本当に良かったと思う。もう頭が働いていなかったが、これで1勝1敗。少し落ち着きを取り戻した。

3戦目はシルバー。普通ならZAKUチームを選ぶと判断した。Target PracticeとBlastの相性はいい。

だからZAKUに対抗するためにLIRを選んだ。もちろんVALNAMORの可能性も考えたが、TINDERLOCKがSilenceを持っているため、レジェンドのいないVALNAMORチームはZAKUに勝てないと思った。

しかし、予想は外れた。この時のDtoughはVALNAMORを警戒したのだろう。並び順は意図が読み取れず違和感を感じる。彼も焦っていたのかもしれない。何とか勝つことができた。あと1勝だ！

4戦目はぼくが焦った。最初VALNAMORを考えていたが、急にZAKUのほうが強い気がしてきたり、IMMORTALISの存在におびえてしまったんだ。そしてLIRチームはさっきぼくが出したので警戒しあっているから出されることはないと思った。しかし、これはシルバーリーグの感覚だ。ダイヤリーグに持ち込むべきではなかった。残り20秒なのに急にZAKUでチームを組みだしたぼくはすでに手遅れだった。
中途半端なZAKUチームは惨敗。2-2、お互いあとがない。

5戦目のルーレットは一番得意なシルバーリーグに止まった。泣いても叫んでもこれが最後。ルールを見てこれしかないと思った。もしこれを対策されてたら素直に諦められる。そういう納得のいくチームだった。

SPLTVでぼくがやっている企画「Defeat azipoon」を見てくれている人ならよく知っていると思う。みんな大好きなLAMAチームのMartyr作戦だ！

配信でぼくに挑戦してくれるみんなのおかげで勝てた。本当にありがとう。

Round 4 Gold league

byzantinist VS hellslash

The Japanese team was able to pull through and pass the baton from me to Hellslash. The Japanese team was no longer hopeless, but to be honest, this was the moment of truth. Everyone believes ueyuey is going to win. He had the power to make the whole team believe it.

But what about Hellslash? He is great enough. But he was up against Byzantinist! We all watched this match with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.

The winner of the first match was Hell!
The combo of Dodge and Blind worked well.

In the second game, Byz did exactly the same thing to Hell! Hell seemed to be quite wary of Opportunity, but unfortunately missed the prediction.

In the third game, Byz simply chose the ability that matched the rules, and the game went to Byz. I also think Byz was more calm in his placement of VENARI MARKSRAT.
There was no time left for Hell. The Japanese team was once again on the edge of a cliff.

The fourth game was one of the most unusual and good plays of the tournament! I was so excited that he chose RULER OF THE SEAS under the counterspell rule.
But he was playing with the confidence that he could pull it off. I was amazed that he could make such an adventurous play at this cliffhanger.

The last play, as soon as everyone saw the sumoner already, they would have thought Byz had won.
When you look at the team, you even sigh and feel that they lost. In fact, the Byz team has a higher winning percentage.

But I don't know why, but Hell won. At first glance, it looked like Byz was making better use of Aim True, but it was CHAIN GOLEM that made the most use of it, and the timing of MAGNOR's Trample activation was perfect. Luck was on our side.

I was able to entrust the final game to the Japanese ace Ueyuey....

日本チームは首の皮一枚つながり、なんとかぼくからHellslashへバトンをつないだ。日本チームは絶望こそなくなったが、正直、ここが正念場だった。みんなueyueyは勝つと信じている。彼にはチーム全員にそれを信じさせるパワーがあったからだ。

しかしHellslashはどうだ？彼も十分すごい。しかし相手はあのByzantinistだ！！期待と不安が半々に入り混じったこの試合をみんなで見守った。

初戦を制したのがHell!
DodgeとBlindのコンボがうまくハマった。

2戦目はなんとHellがByzに同じことをそっくりそのままやり返された！！HellはかなりOpportunityを警戒したようだが、残念ながら予測を外してしまった。

3戦目は単純にルールに合ったアビリティを選択したByzに軍配があがった。あとByzのほうがVENARI MARKSRATの配置を冷静に決められていたと思う。
Hellはあとがない。日本チームはまたもや崖っぷちに立たされた。

4戦目は今大会屈指の珍＆好プレー！！CounterspellルールでRULER OF THE SEASを選択するという暴挙に出たと思ってぼくは頭を抱えた。
しかし、これが成功すると彼は確信をもってプレーしていたんだ。この崖っぷちでこんな冒険的プレイングができるなんて、恐るべし。

ラストプレーはもうサモナーを見た瞬間、誰もがByzが勝ったと思っただろう。
チームを見たら溜息すら出るほどに負けたと感じる。実際勝率もByzのチームが高い。

しかし、なぜかわからないがHellが勝ったんだ。一見ByzのほうがAim Trueをうまく活用しているように見えたが、一番活用していたのはCHAIN GOLEMだった。MAGNORのTrample発動タイミングも完璧だった。幸運の女神が味方した。

日本のエースUeyueyに最終戦を託すことができた・・・。

Round 5 Bronze league

mondroid(clove71) VS ueyuey

The Japanese team came from rock bottom to catch up at the last minute and connect with ace ueyuey. The momentum should be with the Japanese team!

The first game was just barely won by ueyuey, which chose a team that could deal with some long-range attacks to the front while predicting the magic team.

Bronze has few abilities, so not much can be done to counter them. Therefore, the key to victory is choosing what to counter and what to give up.

I think the theory summoner of this game is JACEK or LIR. However, if that theory was used by mondroid, ueyuey would have lost. His choice looks very risky, but I can't help but be amazed at his competitive instinct to succeed in it.

I am sure mondroid would not have been happy with his choice of VALNAMOR, which he dared to go against the theory!

Next up were Equaliser, Wand Out, and Noxious Fumes, all of which were quite peculiar. This was another close match where one different placement on either side could change the outcome.

CABALIST is a rare card that allows Amplify to be used even in Bronze. This time, the winner was ueyuey who used this card well.

ueyuey reached first.
The third game was played with 43 mana in Close Range. This was a simple rule that changed from the previous games.

I thought PRINCE RENNYN would win this game. Perhaps mondroid thought so, too, which is why he did not add MUSHROOM SEER with Silence to his team, thinking it would be PRINCE RENNYN's mirror.

I would do the same. In my case, I would have chosen MYCELIC INFANTRY instead of UNICORN MUSTANG.

I think it is because ueyuey knows the Silver and Bronze leagues so well that he could have believed without hesitation that VALNAMOR would win.

He is too good at researching the opponent's main reague and favorite teams and identifying their handiwork.
I am really glad that we are not enemies.

So, the Japanese team won!
Good Games, U.S. team!

A big thank you to everyone who enjoyed this game and cheered us on, to the U.S. team who played against us, to our sponsor azircon, and to everyone else involved.

The next match will be scheduled in three months, European team vs. Japanese team.

We would like to continue to organize this event to make it even more exciting in the future.

Thanks for your support!

日本チームはどん底から最後の最後で追いつき、エースueyueyに繋げた。勢いは日本チームがあるはずだ！

1戦目は魔法チームを予測しつつ、正面への遠距離攻撃にもある程度対応できるチームを選んだueyueyがギリギリ勝利した。

ブロンズはアビリティが少ないため、あまり多くは対策できない。だから何を対策して、何を諦めるかの選択が勝利のカギとなる。

このゲームのセオリーはJACEKかLIRだと思う。しかし、そのセオリーをmondroidに使われたらueyueyは負けていた。彼の選択はとてもリスキーに見えるがそれを成功させた彼の勝負勘に驚きを隠せない。

mondroidもあえてセオリーを外して選んだVALNAMORが対策されてしまいたまったもんじゃないだろう！

次はEqualiser、Wand Out、Noxious Fumesとかなりクセの強いルールだ。これもギリギリで、どちらかの配置が一つ違うだけで勝敗が変わるような試合だった。

CABALISTはブロンズでもAmplifyが使える珍しいカード。今回はこのカードをうまく使ったueyueyに軍配があがった。

ueyueyは先にリーチをかけた。
3戦目は43マナのClose Rangeルール。今までと打って変わってシンプルなルールだ。

この試合で日本の勝利が決まったのだが、ぼくはPRINCE RENNYNが勝つと思った。恐らくmondroidもそう思ったからPRINCE RENNYNミラーになると思ってSilenceを持つMUSHROOM SEERをチームに加えなかったのだろう。

ぼくもそうする。ぼくの場合はタンクをUNICORN MUSTANGではなくMYCELIC INFANTRYにしていただろう。

Silver、Bronzeリーグを知り尽くしているueyueyだからこそ迷いなくVALNAMORが勝つと信じることができたのだろう。

相手の主戦場や好きなチームを調べて、手癖を見極める能力が高すぎる。
つくづく敵ではなくてよかったと思う。

ということで日本チームが勝利！！
アメリカチーム、Good Games！！！

この試合を楽しみにしてくれて、応援してくれたみなさん、対戦してくれたアメリカチームのみなさん、スポンサーのazircon、関係者全員に多大なる感謝を。

次回は2～3か月後、ヨーロッパチームVS日本チームを予定している。

このような緊迫した状況の戦いは本当に白熱する。
ぜひ今後とももっと盛り上がるように運営していきたい。

応援よろしく！
