(2/16/2023) - For a full informational video on the tournament, watch Ollie’s latest video here.

In her recent tweet and in her latest stream, Ollie announces that she will be co-hosting (with Airani Iofifteen as a guest host) a “tournament” featuring participants from holoJP, holoID, holoEN, HOLOSTARS, and HOLOSTARS EN. This will be one of the first multi-branch Apex Tourneys hosted within hololive production!

Rather than an actual “tournament”, this event is officially named “Kureiji Arcade”, and it will consist of various “newbie friendly” Apex Legends minigames.

The event is set for February 18th, and the main viewing POV will be on Ollie’s YouTube channel. The tournament will be divided into two streams:

2nd stream starts at 19:00 (UTC+7)/21:00 JST.

The tournament format will consist of three sessions split across the two streams:

  • The first stream will feature a single session with hololive only.

  • The second stream will include two sessions:

    • The first session will be for HOLOSTARS only

    • The second session will be a mixed-branch session (both hololive and HOLOSTARS.)

The participants for the tournament will include many from hololive production, listed as follows:
