Botan keeps living up to the "retired badass living a peaceful life" trope.

[@1stThumbnails]

in Apex Legends, she's like Ballistic xD

[@dkosmari]

She is, but that's forbidden knowledge.

[@sansnom5269]

@@dkosmari not really, she commented that on stream. She said she used to participate in competitive tournaments, but she saw a side of herself she didn't like,so she decided to stop.

[@dkosmari]

@@sansnom5269 What part of that is "not really"? You just confirmed it. She was on an esports team even.

[@kanzaki2672]

​@@dkosmarinot really forbidden knowledge as Botan already said it herself

[@monica_g456]

The way the Pro's eyes widened with Botan's declaration of 15 hours is funny. I keep replaying it XD

[@indrahaseo]

yeah I saw it too, I can understand how she feels when hears about 15 hours and got lost to botan-chan as Pro players

[@Absolute__Zero]

Botan has that true gamer blood flowing in her, when you’re in the zone not even sleep or hungry will affect you during those 15 hours xD

[@nattobaby]

my online buddy & i used to do this 18hr grind in league, was fun while it lasted. rip slymgyms

[@tronus1539]

[@Acranify]

oh, totally. that said when you get off that high, you tend to crash hard xD

I had similar experience although it's just a JRPG. The pain is real when the zone is over though lmao

[@CandraNephamily]

Bot

[@LegengaryOak]

"I got called in to commentate, so I spent 15 hours getting to Platinum to prepare" is one of the strongest casual flexes I've ever heard that actually held weight.

[@satousuzuki8997]

Botan is a Lioness of determination, passion, and sheer fckn will

[@TheSilentsama]

I once saw her kill 3 player with a feather! With a fucking feather

[@alienboy149]

we called her, Botayaga

[@lowkey_gamer4298]

Botan really done her "research" to Valo but casually playing it for 15 hours and reached PLATINUM by that time... The pro gamer mentality is still there!

[@venkaramon]

It never left her she just decided it's not fun to be sweaty all the time. That 15h casual Valo to plat isn't even her trying to be sweaty

[@mathewgagnier9432]

@@venkaramon I'm sure if she actually tried to be sweaty and go beyond, she'd be way past plat in those fifteen hours she did lol.

[@Ma-G4]

​@@mathewgagnier9432 yep, and she would overtake shion/ayame's rank in 2-3days if she decided to be sweaty.

[@pepperbreath35]

Is that really surprising, shroud ex csgo pro try new FPS and dominates. FPS transfer easier to each other

[@delutshark_ch]

Botan : "I aim for Platinum, Now I am platinum" Me: "I aim to rank up to silver, i'm now iron"

[@eidrag]

i-iron, i-iron....

[@GabrielRojasAhumada]

I aimed for diamond, went from gold to platinum then to gold like 3 times everytime I was 5 points from diamond. Just 1 month ago I reached diamond

[@zheymour]

15 hours to Plat is insane. I'd also imagine het doing that on solo queue.

[@venkaramon]

That's not 1 session to plat. Most likely she's been playing off stream for a bit now and she only grinded to plat last night. How great it is depends on where she started before the 15h play session

[@rsking6120]

@@venkaramon The fact that she made it to plat in a day means that she basically had the skill level of a plat player, just needed to grind elo And I think that alone is worth something Not to mention how much stamina it takes to grind a game for 15 hours and still perform relatively well

[@Kuromueina.]

Im sacrifice my blood and my soul to reach ascendant 3 for about 2 years and botan casually pull up platinum for only 15 hours a day 😂

[@mig0x]

Some players speed run their ranks ngl it’s scary

[@jmikey1317]

LMAO I reached Platinum rank in 5 months then Botan just casually pulls a 15 hour all-nighter in just 1 day! 😂

[@Madhattersinjeans]

Don't feel bad, Botan has like thousands of hours doing lots of fps games. I bet she's got a lot of skills that crossover to Valorant fairly easily. Think of it like a pro wrestler getting into martial arts, might be a different style but the basic skills and abilities are largely the same.

[@NightingaleRaven]

@@Madhattersinjeans yup just like shroud he got strong basic from cs go and can go play any fps then adapt to it, and his aim is still insane fortnite,cod,pubg,valo Xd

[@arkonomus]

really love how FBK is so excited and it shows through her model :D

[@dylannix4289]

Our friend is a naturally born hypeman

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

Foxes are always excited.

[@NeuronActivation]

Botan just can't be stopped, she's known as the FPS lioness for a reason. Shes a pro gamer through and through, even impressing pro valorant players.

[@TheSocialFaker]

Shishiro Potan: goes to sleep early because she gets too excited and wants the next day to come faster. Shishiro Botan: works overnight in preparation for work the next day.

[@-Raylight]

Botan is a retired pro, she's like John Wick. Truly gamer of focus, commitment, and sheer will xD

[@SimplyTakuma]

Botan: My goal is the Level up. Also Botan, plays 15h

[@venkaramon]

Further context Botan has a bit of addictive personality when it comes to fps grinding. Something similar happened before pre hololive (she talked about this around her debut time) when she grinded to apex master. She has the tendency to not stop playing when she has a goal to grind. It's the reason she won't play ranked or serious apex anymore because back then she took it a bit too far and she neglected herself and her health by grinding too much.

[@severedproxy]

Yep, and IIRC that's the reason she retired from being a pro and coach. She mentioned that she hated that she becomes a "sweaty gamer" with competitive play, and just wants to play chill now.

[@Boyzby]

I also have this problem with games sometimes, where a bug randomly bites me and I just want to get done what I wanted. That's when I just play nothing but Hollow Knight to completion (except the Pantheons), or I do nothing but play XIV for a week to level a new raiding alt and start doing the newest tier... I kinda hope it happens with SF6 so I'm finally sitting and learning that game, because I really enjoyed it when I was playing.

[@Kylecifer_]

Botan in her element casually surpassing the casual playerbase.

[@FausFaustius]

for fun, and simply trying to understand the game.

[@Kylecifer_]

@@FausFaustius ikr? matches aren't even that short in valo iirc so she could only probably play a character or map for few minutes if she had to play them all.

[@SatoshiKenji]

I guess we got Botan in JP and Kaela in ID. When they're set sight on something, it's hard to stop.

[@Myticalcattnip]

Kaela got 2 days nonstop on LoL,the full toxic match and stress is insane

[@Crytica.]

The gamer mentality of Botan is inspiring.

[@iPeanutJelly]

You know what that feeling is when time just flies. Can literally be on a game the whole day and feel like only an hour has passed. Best feeling ever tbh

[@Rick-hy6vh]

Botan is just like those MCs who sit near window, full with talent but too tired to do so much stuff and just wanna take everything one steppa time

[@afrogunso822]

So like Shikamaru then

​@@afrogunso822with a Gun.

[@JustASapling]

Botan being Botan just enjoying the game as usual... imagine if her goal is to reach radiant at that time wonder how many it would take...also her not sleeping while playing FPS is a bit scary 😅 I would've had a headache 7hrs in game damn 👏👏

[@justawanderingvegetable4847]

I hope we can see more of Botan in some form of an FPS Tournament in the future. The last time she was in one was that Battlefield 2042 Streamer Cup back in October 2021, in a team with Towa, Nijisanji's Nun Bora, and Crazy Racoon's CPT. Edit: BF5*

[@HvReagan]

I know the other 3 have done stuff together more recently, but I'd really love to see all 4 together again.

[@justawanderingvegetable4847]

[@JustJack3898]

Lmao I feel like I'm seeing a proud fox showing off her kōhai to everyone. So fun

It really helps that she's inherently insane at FPS games in general.

Their reaction to Botan playing for 15 hours was priceless.

Fubuki's too adorable, she's like the little sister who tagged along and is just happy to be there

[@LuckySevenSamson]

Plat in fifteen hours... Botan is a headshot, corner-checking machine, that's some kinda ungodly reaction time to get that far that fast.

[@jrtime228]

The casual goals XD "I wanted to get to platinum because I am commentating here"

[@xelasneko]

Botan is like one of those students who crams for an exam, except it is for an FPS game. I don't know if she started from the very bottom but still impressive.

[@OlafJorigson]

If you'd told me Botan is a "Player who started life in another world again with all her stats from beforehand", I would totally believe you.

[@user-zt1kt4vx5d]

man i cant even play a single game for 5hrs straight thats true dedication right there

She took a day break from summer heat than suddenly pull out a plat on Valorant, like what. As a SSRB through and through, has been waiting to watch her stream Valo for a long time since I'm curious about the game myself too. She mentioned she was thinking to learn the game and just mess around freely on twitch (just like other members do) then totally forgot about it until the Redbull sponsor last month. Hope we could see more Valo wt other members in the future

[@velveteensallet949]

I'm reminded of her mentioning back then that she grinded her way to Master on Apex just so her resume would look better.

[@kuuluna]

When you set your mind on the grind. Truly a gamer moment

[@Freezorgium]

That's our lion

[@TimmiiGamingChannel]

Well FPS games is in her blood so of course she can grind all day to get a specific rank.

[@-Dovahkiin]

15h in a online game is insane. I played double of that but it was on Skyrim so it's much easier to pull it off, genuinely impressed by Botan

[@ats7K94i]

Botan is even more of a gamer than half of us here, including me

[@parodyres]

I just love to think that Botan ONLY took 15 hours to get Platinum rank and if she wanted to, she could get Radiant rank if she feels like it.

[@BananaWaffle]

Botan sweep 🔥🔥🔥

[@LusterScarlet]

In the green room, the meetup green room, La-Lion sleep tonight~ 🤣

[@ianlewin8888]

Remind me when she goes marathon at apex so she could reach master before her debut, she's really the lion of dedication and commitment

platinum in 1 day 💀💀

Oh my god i spent 2 years getting to Platinum and she did it in just 15 hours. unbelievable shishiron really is pro gamer ;-; godness of fps 🙏

[@lilkhmer5]

Hopefully she takes care of her health. Ofc not saying she doesn't.

[@fluxus6999]

As a asc hardstuck player, botan reach platinum in that period of time is wild. Prop to fps queen

[@gamerfluffyboi5111]

I heard lionesses can go for several hours until they get their prey. Thats twice and more for determination.

[@atraller]

When you love and enjoy some game, you can play until more of 20 hours with no rest xD

[@davidsantiago7808]

ive seen botans aim training i always thought she played csgo or valorant lol

[@hao2000ki]

Tbh...I kinda expected Botan to get to like Ascendant or at least Diamond, but Platinum is pretty nuts too for one day

[@ScatteredSoul21]

would have been hilarious if they asked her what rank she got up to...and there was a long pause and she quietly said...radiant...🤣

[@myrtlekenazjanairo9411]

Platinum rank in just 15 hrs. I would break even just playing 4 hrs. Oh well i have work. But even so 15 hrs is just like killing your health😅
