ZETA DIVISON

Whats your opinions on ZETA DIVISON I personally think they were a very good team this year, and shown some lovely strats and plays and have shown that Japan can be insane in the tactical FPS genre.

Nobody really had high hopes for ZETA going into Reykjavik everyone thought they were gonna get grouped, but they shown everyone up by taking down FNATIC and Ninjas In Pyjamas, allowing them to qualify for Playoffs. During playoffs they did lose in the Quarter Finals to G2 Esports, but went through a Lower Bracket Run and taking down Team Liquid, DRX and one of the new tournament favourites Paper Rex before losing to OpTic Gaming in the Lower Final. The rest of this year went downhill for ZETA DIVISON, then not qualifying for Copenhagen and losing to NORTHEPTION and getting grouped in Champions Istanbul by LOUD.

I feel like ZETA DIVISON actually had a chance in Champions because for a couple of months, they were playing and scrimming with their sub Xdll because TENNN had eye surgery so he couldnt play in Champions. Then last minute they bring back TENNN who is still recovering and hasn't fully healed and has, not scrimmed and trained with the team for the past couple of months, instead of sticking with Xdll they chose a player who is not in any condition to play.

ZETA DIVISON's roster throughout 2022 and possibly 2023 will be:

SugarZ3ro
Crow
Dep
Laz
TENNN
Reita

idk if Reita will be a 6th man or he is replacing SugarZ3ro as the main Controller player

SugarZ3ro is their 2nd best player after Laz, and imo one of the top 3 apac controllers (with mindfreak and mako),
replacing him would be a big mistake.

But yeah I'm looking forward to seeing ZETA next year.

W org and roster

Stage 1: ZETA unbelievable run at Reykjavík probably due to the 1st International Tournament, every team starts off the same into the year getting used to team members etc. They hugely benefit from international experience to improve at rapid rate whilst in Europe despite the "blacklisted rumours".

Stage 2: Despite beating northeption in the Japan Stage 2 Challengers upper bracket, ZETA lost to Northeption in the grand final as Meteor pre much cemented himself to be the best import & duelist in the JP region still today.

Champions: ZETA got grouped up with LOUD and Optic.... the 2 teams that play in the Grand Final Champions... and lost to LOUD the winner of Champions twice in the group. Yes TENNN eye surgery does factor into account, but ultimately ZETA not in best condition + being in the worst group possible.

I don't think Reita gonna be their 6th player, he might go to detonation instead as per:

I do think their 6th player would be someone who won't be put into the starting roster, but just sub as there still till early February to make up the 6th player minimum requirement. I don't see ZETA going to international tournament in 2023, DRX/PRX/T1 looks wayy more solid to represent Pacific into international tournament, maybe ZETA have a chance in LCQ.

Really likable team and players. Especially laz. My man is so wholesome

W team, should do well in the apac league all things considered

Best Astra player in the world, best Asian Op in the world, and they are part of the reason Valo has grown si much in Japan. They are a W
