I don't really get why people are discrediting Zeta, this is their first loss since Iceland, against a team they beat in playoffs the day before. Of course they're going to get anti-strated hard that doesn't make them a bad team or they had a "fluke" in iceland it just means Nth was better that day.
Also the cringe no flaggers and that one fnatic fan making threads are cringe asf, go back to reddit lol.
I'm happy that Riot has grown JP into a strong competitive region that it is now.
kristof [#5]if u think JP is a strong competitive region you are delusional
no one asked for you here kristof you are the kind of people that's wrong with this site

Another L Kristof Thread.
SeulgiVLR [#12]while we're here do yall think japan is a major region yet or nah?
based on what metrics
viewership and support wise i'd def say it is
talent depth and playerbase aren't on par with NA and EMEA IMO (edit: and APAC too tbh)
chemicqls [#15]I don't think zeta was a top team at iceland tho, felt like a cinderella run like kru at champs. I believe they're the best team in their region like kru is in latam, but not a top tier team like the NA and Eu teams
I'd say zeta shits on xset and guild but loses to optic fnatic and fpx
ritdro2211 [#10]fpx was the only top team that didnt make it
how can u say it wasnt competitive
this was the most competitive LAN so far
It is only non competitive because their teams got shit on. If EU had won it wouldve been the most competitive LAN in history. Just normal VLR behavior calling anything my region doesnt do shit.

imo a good mix of high viewership, support, playerbase, results is what id consider a major region to be

I would say that in terms of overall strength KR JP and APAC all have teams at a similar level, the only teams that have the edge are the top 1 or 2 NA/EMEA teams and Loud
Zay301 [#23]I would say that in terms of overall strength KR JP and APAC all have teams at a similar level, the only teams that have the edge are the top 1 or 2 NA/EMEA teams and Loud
personally, i feel that APAC has a lot more teams that could be competitive at LAN compared to both JP and KR (ONIC, Secret, AEGO all seem good enough) whereas I wouldn't say the same for teams like Maru or CR for example.
and the SA/SEA ranked playerbase is massive
SeulgiVLR [#22]imo a good mix of high viewership, support, playerbase, results is what id consider a major region to be
in that case imo only NA and EMEA would be "major" regions, with BR and JP not far behind.
APAC is def a contender too, just needs slightly higher viewership and results (the latter should theoretically bring the former)
seankukuz [#17]I'd say zeta shits on xset and guild but loses to optic fnatic and fpx
no way they beat XSET

I almost compare APAC on equal strength to NA. The difference is NA has been in tac shooters longer, I think, and its a one language region pretty much. I hope NA can start involving some of our Spanish speaking NA brethren at some point.
Heineck [#28]no way they beat XSET
I think you are overrating XSET. Their game against faze was pretty shit I saw so many mistakes

LMFAOO A FNATIC FAN CALLING A ZETA FAN A BANDWAGON RIGHT NOW???
SeulgiVLR [#12]while we're here do yall think japan is a major region yet or nah?
In terms of viewership and production ABSOLUTELY. In terms of top teams, not quite yet. I think only NA and EU are "major" regions at the moment, but I have really high hopes for every other region in franchising.
Netero [#24]Because this forum is a shitehole, like 80% of the people here are toxic and bitter for no reason.

fnatic was there since the first tourney of 2021 masters 2 so ofc fnatic has a lot of original fans since the begining unlike zeta bandwagons who were not even there before 2022 japan stage 1
