How do you feel about this new JP superteam?
I feel like they will qualify through JP for free every time, but might face the same issues CR did last year.

Rainyy [#2]dont care how they will perform im just happy cr doesnt get to go to their fourth lan

Ultimate6989 [#4]lol their new roster is not bad, 2nd in Japan
bro could you imagine if cr went to all 4 lans and inevitably bombed out after two games just like last year
the chat will go apeshit and neth (or whoever it was) would probably cry again
said it multiple times already
if you judge zeta based off how JP has done at previous events you're trolling, this team is waaaay stronger than their previous roster. like uncomparably stronger
dropped 2 useless + 1 decent player for 3 top players
player to watch for is sugarz3ro, guy is fuckin insane

choking is always a possibility, and honestly im not even saying they're going to place high. but they for sure will not get stomped like the previous JP rosters, this is a team that will put up a fight against anyone at iceland IMO

There's no doubt this is an improved JP roster, the question is more whether or not they can keep pace with the rest of the world which is also evolving. sugarzero, tenn and dep were crazy good pickups
LouBag [#15]No one on the team had a positive first kill to death ratio
Against CR.Munchkin had almost 30 FKs against them.
Doesn’t bode well for their chances at Iceland.
yeah but munchkin was the only person in the old Cr to do well internationally
fisker was good in JP but shit in LANs
From an avid JP HOPIUM user:
ZETA Division is MILES ahead of other competition in Japan. Yes they had a close series last night, but that's because CR actually capitalized on their mistakes. But in the end, ZETA still won because their players are just so damn good. They dropped their "deadweight" and picked up the upper echelon of the JP hierarchy: players that performed very well for their respective teams.
Like SETSUZA said, SugarZ3ro is the player to watch. This guy frags hard, and is a sick controller. My one issue is that his agent pool: he only plays Astra and Viper. He barely plays Brim and Omen. I feel like that's a potential weakness that other teams can exploit.
However, my player to watch is Laz. He is quite possibly THE best player in JP right now. He looks like he has gotten better since last year and he still put up insane numbers in JP and at Masters 3: Berlin. He has such an expansive agent pool, and I think his veterancy and experience will guide the rookies through their first LAN.
Do I think ZETA Division is going to light the world on fire? Realistically, maybe. They have great players, and if everything goes right for them and is prepared top to bottom, then ZETA can do damage and can put up a fight. This JP superteam is truly something special and can represent Japan well on the global stage.
Rabbiit [#22]To be honest, my only memory about Zeta is Heat marshal ace, are they strong like people are saying?
zeta got rid of all mediocre players and replaced them with easily top 3 players in japan for their roles. To put it simply its like loud with sacy and saadhak and getting all these great players in the form of less, pancada, and aspas. I dont think they are as strong as loud but this is right now a japanese super team.

Oh i get it thanks
Hirai7 [#25]They can easily shit on NIP if they qualify
The funny thing is that you didn't lie, Nip is just bleh
insertyourname [#12]same issue as DRX-Korea, LOUD-Brazil
Qualifier was too EZ for em, so we cant judge they can do the same in Masters.
but now we are in Hopium WRLD rn, allow us to imagine
.
idkbro [#31]I watched their grandfinals match and they were actually impressive tbh, expected them to be much worse, also watched APAC matches to see how the EU imports do and I would say ZETA is better than both APAC teams
ZETA is more definitely better than PRX or Xerxia rn but SEA fans are telling me otherwise

Thanks for the info. I will watch their games
Their performance will heavily depend on their group IMO.
The team genuinely looks organized for once, probably due to the single language comm structure. Laz, Tenn, and Sugarzero are mechanically talented.
I do still think their fundamentals aren't up to scratch, even when compared to some SEA teams. However, they're still a relatively new team. Based on their post grand final interview, it's clear they haven't had the time necessary to practice. They could improve greatly in the time between now and their first Masters game.
seankukuz [#33]ZETA is more definitely better than PRX or Xerxia rn but SEA fans are telling me otherwise
APAC teams looked bad really bad, good firepower but terrible discipline and decision making, also nothing new or creative in terms of utility, watching Bleed felt bad, pyth and maxie always playing pretty disciplined but the other 3 were making a lot of stupid mistakes but at least they were good individually

Laz has been the best JP player since CS and I loved seeing him on chamber so much since he kinda got back to his AWP roots that way and crow imo proved that he deserved to stay in the JP superteam. I think if SugarZ3ro have problems with Omen and Brim, but can play some sentinels, we really can have that roleswap for specific maps and get Laz on one of those. I won't be surprised if these guys finished above PRX tbh since Dep and TENNNN feels like a more integrated JIngg and f0rsaken with great players on other roles too

TENN and sugarz3ro are absolutely insane. They already showed their class against all the APAC teams in LCQ. ZETA is really cloase to SEA teams, and dont forget the same northeption roster with these two guys were destroying every single SEA team until the finals where FS barely beat them.
