11th Kisei

The 11th Kisei was the 11th edition of the Kisei tournament. Since Koichi Kobayashi won the previous year, he is given an automatic place in the final. Eleven players battled in a knockout tournament to decide the final 2. Those two would then play each other in a best-of-3 match to decide who would face Kobayashi. Masaki Takemiya became the challenger after beating Hideo Otake 2 games to 1, but he would lose to Kobayashi 4 games to 1 in the final.

gollark: Seems reasonable, but you will need MUCH initial funding.
gollark: My long-term plan for money extraction is to obtain relevant technical skills, and then to (muahahaha) exchange goods and services for money.
gollark: You *are* mildly increasing pizza prices for everyone.
