Therefore, in this article, I would like to look back on the basic knowledge, history, and charm of the tournament as an introductory edition. What kind of tournament is "CR Cup"? "CR Cup" is a general term for the tournament sponsored by the professional gaming team "Crazy Raccoon" (CR). The APEX tournament was held in August 2020, contributing to the development of e -sports in Japan. 60 people (20 teams) participated in the tournament and played five matches in match score. The closer to the champion in each game, the more "ranking points" are given, and the number of defeated opponents will be obtained. And the overall points will determine the winning team. In addition, as a unique system that is unique to the tournament, it is characterized by the factors set to competitors and points according to the "rank" in the game. Since the upper limit of 24 points per team is limited, the balance of the strength is appropriate, and every team has a chance to win. "CR Cup" here is interesting! So why are game fans attracted to the tournament? First of all, the big attraction is that the members who participate are gorgeous. For example, in this 8th tournament, the singer Mafumafu who was a singer who gained the tea room at the "72nd NHK Kouhaku Singing Battle" at the end of last year, a manga artist who is known for "Seniors are a junior story". Tan -san, popular cosplayer Moe Iori and others are named. In addition, top professionals who are active in the competition scene, popular streamer, VTuber, etc. are large gatherings. It's no surprise that celebrities of completely different genres will meet together. In the same tournament, it is customary for participants to form a team of three people in advance and face each other by distribution. From there, practice in the "Skrim" (practice game), which is held for a certain period of schedule, and start the production. It's like a "reality show" as people who have never had a point of contact form a team and deepen their bonds. The team, which started with an awkward interaction, became intimate over a few days and left results in the tournament. There is a drama without a scenario. Let's look back on what kind of players have attracted the topic in the previous "CR Cup" for participating players who have become representative and topic. For example, in the 3rd and 4th tournament, a singer -songwriter EVE, known for the opening song "Megumi Kitan" of the anime "Spelly Battle", participates. In particular, in the fourth, RAS, a professional gamer belonging to "CR", formed a team with a team "Mika Pikazo" with a famous illustrator, Mika Pikazo, and became a big topic. In the 7th tournament, Ryosuke Yamada of the popular idol "Hey! Say! JUMP" participated in the race. He formed a team "Dome Performance" with VTuber Haru Shibuya, who is familiar with the "APEX" tournament commentary, and VTuber, Kano, who belongs to "Nijisanji", and is in third place in the actual performance. What is impressive in the VTuber area is the fourth team "Kanachi Kuzu" (KCK).
