wtf why is zeta giving DRX the freedom to enter the bomb? It is almost impossible to play retake against these nerds, if they want to win this map zeta needs to make drx waste utilities first and force 1v1.

Don't send him to Korea, make sure Japan gets better. If Laz exists that means there is potential players just as good as him will exist too.

This just tells me CR losing bazzi to astell was one of the biggest downgrades in recent roster history, I heard CR was actually competitive to DRX before that yet they get stomped by this iteration of zeta

And they lost munchkin too who I consider undoubtedly the strongest korean talent in Japan

I find it crazy that Japan still gets a spot at LAN events after consistent poor showings. Its sad because a deserving team( Either a 3rd NA team or if they want to stay in the region then a 3rd APAC team) could be playing here but we get to see a tier 2 team.

sadly its true.
viewership can be maintained in region qualifier even if its combined wit KR/SEA.
and we`ll watch masters even if there arent JP team in it.

Icebox: Zeta talented team but they can't seem to close out a round? Numerous chances with 1-3 man advantage just shut down by DRX. Mako ego swings tube and gets 2 entrying as viper? Gamble stacking occurs way too much even if they are on eco's. No chamber means that flank is relatively open and will most likely be held by only one player. Giving up site and playing retake pretty regularly fucked zeta due to double lineups from sova and viper. On pistol round planting on nest when they can clearly see DRX has a sage quite questionable?

Haven: Zeta wins pistol round off an amazing performance from Laz. DRX gets the plant down and kills 4. DRX is known as the team that buys second if they get plant down, however, Zeta seems rather unaware and plays the round pretty awfully getting flawlessed? Again on Haven they seem to play quite passive letting DRX getting away with their executes and after that it's pretty much unwinnable cause of killjoy, sova combo with omen oneway like wtf do Zeta think they can do?

Overall: Zeta plays way too passive and need to play for more map control. Without implementing this strategy against a team like DRX it is pretty much impossible for Zeta to retake due to the extensive post plant setups. Definitely a game where Zeta could have gotten a lot more rounds. This is just my two cents.
