notice how the hate towards dfm wasnt nearly as excessive and overblown?
and they eventually got wayyy better with fans who actually support them...
Dfm never try to get sympathy points from the Japanese even in league.
They do not downgrade Japanese talent by saying things like it ruins competitive integrity of valorant.
They actually sign Japanese talent
There coach does not dog pile the loss on a single player.
So much more. But honestly i wouldn't hate the GE players they took the opportunity. I would blame the management.
DFM fielded an entire Japanese roster consisting of ascension qualifying players
whereas GE signed washed T2 pros that too not even from India and the owners says 'it would effect the competitive integrity of franchising' if they signed Indian players to play the game.
Also Japan had 2 teams from their nation they probably couldn't care less about DFM(ik DFM has a huge fanbase).
