derptz [#4]Syouta over aspas?????
Can aspas speak Japanese?? Because Syouta can.
I think we are crazy if we think all aspas needs to do is just fragging without any proper comms, this is a team game dammit
IonlywatchvcjXD [#2]Zeta has Syouta, no thanks
I mean i agree Syouta deserves the chance but if Apsas says he wants to join a team he’s joining that team simple as that.

Are we seriouslly forgetting that aspas needs to comm? You don't expect him to not comming the whole season, do you?

Put your goddamn source, and no, putting your games in Japanese doesn't mean you can speak Japanese.
If I put my game setting in Spanish, that doesn't mean I can speak spanish

T1 used to comm in english soooo
wololo___ [#15]T1 used to comm in english soooo
They tried it for 1 year, tossed the project and are now opting full Korean.

He knows Japanese as much as I have learnt from watching anime

I thought he had been fluent but that’s my bad, here he states clearly he’s taking lessons though (although the duration is unknown)

Well they got into tokyo and LA didnt they?
Though that didnt work out smoothly….. same the next year after that

He doesn’t need to study or speak japanese.
He can carry those zeta bums to international.

I mean I'm aware of him using Japanese as his default game language for quite some time now, I watched jp vtubers for almost 1 year now and I can't even form 1 proper sentence, he needs to speak them if he really wants to join Zeta

he said in a post-game interview that he's taking japanese lessons (he was still at LOUD, so obviously he must have improved since then)
1ski [#27]he said in a post-game interview that he's taking japanese lessons (he was still at LOUD, so obviously he must have improved since then)
What kind of lessons? Duolingo or any online language learning app? Does he have a conversation with Japanese speaker? Even that doesn't guarantee how much he actually improved, ultimately you need to comm in Japanese which needs much more time to prepare, I would argue Comming in Japanese requires another skillset just like any language.
There's no guaranntee that Zeta are willing to afford his price tag anyways..
foythvlr [#24]I'm guessing Lev will probably lower the buyout eventually
why? they will tell aspas that no teams can afford him, (which is true, even if a org can pay the buyout, his salary is so high) he will be in contract jail. the best option for all parties is pretend nothing happened and continue with -Mazino +Demon1, assuming that LEV have not signed replacement for aspas yet. If they have then aspas will probably be in contract jail

also, the roster could go international and speak english

It's a 1 year old clip, any updates on this? If not, then it's safe to assume he gave up on learning one just like 97% learners 😅😂

lev was already building a roster without aspas, they probably have it locked by now. they will probably need the money to pay for demon1, and if they don't lower it no offer will come. they will essentially be losing money every month paying aspas on the bench (and his wage will be big even if its cut because of the bench), so its more worth it to lower it and still win money to at least cover for demon1 costs.
im guessing theres a small chance again now aspas stays but i dont think anyone wants that anymore there
1ski [#31]also, the roster could go international and speak english
I doubt Japanese players can comm in English. T1 tried it, and it's safe to say we know they would do better if they went for full korean instead.

if they have it locked then this is a really fked scenario for aspas lol
siphonval [#35]if they have it locked then this is a really fked scenario for aspas lol
even if they didn't, i don't think they want aspas there anymore after he basically forced his way out of the team lol

id prefer having aspas being quiet all year on duelist than syouta comming like saadhak
Patoow14 [#38]id prefer having aspas being quiet all year on duelist than syouta comming like saadhak
Saadhak won you your champions by comming in Portuguese and not in Spanish. You should know better about comms and winning
i11matic [#36]Retirement home hopefully
Lil bros about to be downvoted lmao you don't trash talk one of the two faces of valorant

these people think speaking basic japanese is enough to communicate in Japanese in pro play. There is a reason why so few Koreans who are very 'successful' in jp scene, and ALL of the ones who succeed speak very good Japanese (joxjo, seoldam, astell, etc). This is sad man, ppl don't realise language is a HUGE barrier

This is one of the consequences of letting too many imports into the region, everyone thinks jp is an easy region to play.
I mentioned this in one of my post talking about how "value" and "percieved value" are essentialy 2 different things

Realm3098 [#42]Can none of the Brazilian orgs afford to buyout aspas??
2G needs a replacement for spike or even loud doesn't have a dualist..
He has a reportedly $250k buyout, so yeah I don't think brazilian org except FURIA (mibr and loud are cheap orgs and 2g ain't got that money especially for a stand-in) can pay that and FURIA already has settled(?) on Mwzera
