Yeah but it's harder to get, it's doable but it takes time and you expose yourself to many issues if everything is not done with a lot of time. Many Russians still have problems to attend LAN's and travel. It's basically like lighter import, you can do it, but you gotta be sure and it takes time.

it also doesnt help they got hard read that round. anytime FNL had lockdown, SG went B so they stacked B with 3 and 4th at mid. as soon as they jump peeked, B had 5 in the crossfire protecting the lockdown. Also something gets spam killed by rushing into the site way earlier than their teammates. They had no choice but to push the KJ ult.

ましでロシアン二人が可哀想、ほかの日本人チームがくっそ下手くそやしいつまでも全然実力増えてる姿みせてくれない。
何日何ヶ月何年がたっても、ずっと世界全体のヴァローたいかい見てるけど日本シンみたいに外国のひと人にこれくらいにたよってるリーグはみたこともない。ましで練習しないのか、ただガチで才能の限界なのか知らんけど、荷物にはなっちゃだめなのに
毎回毎回荷物じゃなくてもうトロルレベルにキャリされてもらってる。限度を超えればあのロシアン二人でどんだけ奮戦しても即負け、まじで練習してもそのエイムとプレイから増えないことで荷物になってることだったらなんも言えないけど、自分でもわからないのかな？この人たちってせめてあの二人に荷物にはならないうようにもっともっと頑張らないとという自覚がないのかな？毎回毎回発展の発すらないすがただけ見せてるし、発展のいしすらあるのか疑われるほどのレベル。毎回ロシアン二人がmvpとってもいつも300〜400点などをだしても負けたあとの複雑な表情をみるのがまじで可哀想すぎる、それに日本得油の下手やったら下手やってせめてここがくそだったからここをめっちゃ練習しろみたいな強い言葉も責めを一つもやらないし、いったら即ベン永遠に日本選手たちの成長がない、Zetadivisionも一緒、いっかい世界3いしたことからいままで1回も上位に入ることすらないことだけみても一緒、プロじゃない私から見ても日本のチームのプレイはいつも一緒で見抜けやすいし戦略もざつくそすぎる、冗談ぬきで日本人いれずに外国人5人にしたら日本リージョンそく破壊できる。まじで反省して練習しろやお前らがまじでプロか？荷物になるばっかりで恥ずかしくもないか？試合後の自分のkdaみてなんもおもわないのか？キャリされても負けてる自分にイライラすらしないのか？まじで理解できない。こんくらいいってもどうせ一緒だろ、日本リジョンがこっから世界大会でまた活躍することがあったらまじで奇跡としか言えない、まず今から世界大会に進出できるかも疑問だらけ。

I feel sorry for the two Russians, the other Japanese teams are so bad, and they never show any improvement in their abilities.
I've been watching the world wide Valor taikai for days, months, years, and I've never seen a league that relies so heavily on a foreigner like Nihon Shin does. I don't know if it's because they don't practice, or if it's just a serious limitation of their talent, but they shouldn't be luggage.
Every single time I've seen them, they've already been carried to the troll level, not as baggage. If you go over the limit, no matter how hard you fight with those two Russians, you lose instantly, and seriously, I can't tell you if you're being a baggage by not practicing and not increasing from that AIM and play, but you don't even know what you're doing, do you? Don't these people at least have the awareness that they need to work harder and harder so that they don't become baggage to those two? Every single time they show only a glimpse without even a hint of development, and the level of development is so low that one wonders if there is even any development. And even when the two Russians score 300-400 points in mvp every time, it's so sad to see their complicated expressions after losing. Ben, Japanese players never grow up, Zetadivision is the same, they have never been in the top 3 in the world since they made it to the world 3 once. If they had 5 foreigners instead of Japanese, they could destroy the Japan Regionals. Seriously, you guys need to practice, seriously, are you pros? You're so embarrassed to be a baggage. Don't you feel anything when you see your kda after a match? Don't you even get annoyed at yourselves for losing when you get carried away? I seriously don't understand. It would be a miracle if Japan Region ever made it to the World Championships again, and I doubt if they can even make it to the World Championships now.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

They should try the crazy racoon practice where they scrim T2 teams of other regions, from what I've heard no other team in split other than SCARZ scrim with other regions' T2/T3 teams. They should, it will improve their knowledge and expose their weaknesses. Lets hope ZETA improved this year, japan bro.

Pretty much agree. Misaya was actually pretty decent back in Sengoku Gaming, but he went downhill this time because he's not experienced much in IGLing. Their previous IGL, Art (ibanin), moved to Jadeite, that's why Misaya took the spot for IGL (he said that he does half of the IGL job but I don't know who is the other one lol) and we can see that it doesn't have much impact unless something and Vici frag a lot. nobita is actually a great player, kinda dark horse of the team, but he's pretty inconsistent in the tourney. I don't want to talk about Fisker because his low is really low, I don't understand at all and now he's playing as controller where he's usually the one who entries the site but surprisingly he was doing okay when he doesn't entry lol.

And yeah, once again, unlucky for them this time. I guess smth was tired and drained on the 5th map (yet he was still doing his best)... also the momentum shifted from the previous map as well and CLZ dropped 33 bombs for the last map.

If they decide to be together again for split 2, then I guess they need more experience by doing scrims with other team outside of region and if Misaya wants to improve as an IGL, he also can learn by watching VODs and sorta (whatever is needed as an IGL).

I'm not saying she helped CR if thats the meaning that got conveyed, CR sometimes has these streams where popular JP streamers play custom games but before they do, they practice their executes on a map for an hour or so with the team of 1-2 CR + 3 streamers. and a couple more teams like that. That's when they talk about pro scene etc

I watch Japanese regional league game and it feels very much like ranked worse than tier 3 at times. I don't know why is it because their teams just lack tactical fps experience ? Like they have good aim and u can tell they play other shooters. But their game sense swing timing, fundamentals like trading or just strats have always been lacking.
