The top players in the world use <a href=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wacom-pen-display-pen-tablets\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wacom-pen-display-pen-tablets\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wacom tablets<\/a> to play the game because the ergonomics, precision, and response speed of a Wacom tablet are much better than a standard mouse.

The top player, who is also an osu!

Would the challenge be over before it even got started? No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next five challengers lost against Kama, prompting KoiFishu to change up the rules slightly to make the competition more fair -- rather than rolling for who gets to choose the map, only the challenger would be allowed to. Choosing the map gives the challenger an advantage, because they can choose one they're familiar with and that Kama may have never played before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first challenger to take advantage of this shift is <a href=\"https:\/\/osu.ppy.sh\/users\/15993085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xyrrk<\/a>, who choses an extremely easy, slow map -- confusing Kama and winning the second tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/dagloballegend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheGlobalLegend<\/a> chooses a difficult map, and actually pulls out ahead at the beginning, beating Kama fair and square for the first half of the map! But they miss a few times in a row, lose their confidence, and Kama wins in a very close matchup. The next matchup is similar -- <a href=\"https:\/\/osu.ppy.sh\/users\/8646059\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/osu.ppy.sh\/users\/8646059\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uberfazz<\/a>, a high ranked player, chooses a difficult map and keeps pace with Kama for most of the map, only to lose in a close match at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/osu.ppy.sh\/users\/18604372\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/osu.ppy.sh\/users\/18604372\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Loopyng<\/a> is selected. They choose a very old map that appears strange to viewers -- and to Kama. He struggles on the strange, old map, and Loopyng cruises to victory, winning the third and final tablet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/01\/KoiFishu-headshot-illustrated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-815264\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/01\/KoiFishu-headshot-illustrated.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/01\/KoiFishu-headshot-illustrated-200x200.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/01\/KoiFishu-headshot-illustrated-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/01\/KoiFishu-headshot-illustrated-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the creator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>KoiFishu<\/strong> is an osu! player and content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out his content live by following his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/koifishu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch channel<\/a>.
