Before the Game

With Hagiwara Masato from Team Raiden helping with the commentary, we got our first look into the commentating booth. To observe social distancing, the two commentators sat a distance between them. During the actual game, they were moved to different rooms in order to keep their distance.

Before the first game, they showed some highlights of the season and how each team got to the finals. Afterwards, they showed the standings going into the finals.

Standing going into the finals

Kadokawa Sakura Knights were in the lead with 142.4pts, with the Sega Sammy Phoenix within striking distance of the lead with 86.0pts. Though the Shibuya Abemas and the U-Next Pirates were at 32.0pts and -1.7pts respectively, they still posed a threat with the final being 12 games.
