Hello I probably sound stupid, but how do they communicate? Are japanese and korean similar enough? Like on DFM there's Koreans and Japanese on the team
lordooohyeaa [#2]did you ever consider the possibility of the players learning the other language? at least just the basics to communicate in-game?
and no, the languages are not mutually intelligible
I have but I have seen a lot of koreans in Japanese t2 scene, and Japanese in korean t2 scene, so I was just wondering
renmai [#3]No Koreans on Zeta, but on DFM which is mixed, the Koreans on that roster have simply learned how to speak Japanese. This is because they have been playing in tier 2 japan for a while.
oh makes sense ty
ASTEROIDCHILD [#7]korean and japanese have very similar sentence structure / grammar. as well as some similar sounding words because of chinese roots
not similar enough for a korean and japanese to understand each other but enough that learning is relatively easy
i've been learning japanese as a korean-american (native fluency in both) for 4 years-ish, and there's a lot of borrowed words in respective cultures which made the transition easy.
I also have a background in hanja/hanzi because I took Chinese for about a year when I was younger so I also think this helped with kanji. hiragana and katakana only took around 2-3 days to fully master.
yellow_donkey [#12]The good mixed rosters you see making progress in JP tier 2 has 1 thing in common. The kr players speak fluent japanese.
This is true, glad to see tier 2 jp finally realizes that you need a good comm 😂

Bro what are you talking about. There hasn't been a single Japanese player in the entire history of Korea Challengers, even counting First Strike days.
