Anonymous leak from the JP community.

(Sorry, I have not translated it.)
However, posts by this ID have accurately leaked multiple new rosters for JP Tier 2 VL, NOEZ, etc. and is the most credible leaker in JP.

Below we pick up and translate important information.

DFM -> Joxjo signs, Anthem and Suggest stay, Other existing members have begun tryouts.
FAV gaming -> tenten signs contract
CR -> possible neth leave
JDT -> likely to be disbanded

In addition, multiple postings in the same community have resulted in
JDT Duelist KR player iZu is very likely to move to T1.
iZu was initially expected to move to CR.
This was because iZu had participated in a CR scrim in July and August.
However, iZu returned urgently to Korea a few days ago for "work".
And cancelled a Japanese community event called RAGE.
Yesterday, iZu, who is staying in Korea, was seen forming a duo with T1 xeta, and also playing a custom game with 11 players without Japanese players.

And an even more interesting fact...T1 has announced a show match with KC on 9/16.

The RAGE event that iZu cancelled on short notice has 9/16 on its schedule. What a coincidence...LMAOOO

PS: Information about ZETA is still closed, we are very careful to manage information within the team.
However, Laz assured us in his Streaming that the members will change.
The only confirmation is that a player named yuran from ZETA Academy was found in the scrim.

joxjo is a good igl, he won two regional title with two different team (northeption & fennel). joxjo is not tier 2 player actually, he went to masters copenhagen last year with northeption.

For those interested in JP scenes more, I got y'all!
There're some more notable changes in the scene:

crow is unlikely to leave ZETA, insted he'll be coach/analyst for the org.
Riddle signs former CR Academy members (R1va, Look, KUROLLIA, Lafura, izark, +1)
SCARZ signs former JDT coaches (noppo, Bullco)
αD (possibly) signs ex-CGZ nolozy as a coach, and signs 3-4 pro players from other competitive titles (That's why none of the players' names got leaked)

They are seen in so many scrims that we can't judge anything at the moment. I'll let you know if there is an update.
The only info we got else is that Tenzou (ex-CGZ) is reportedly seen on SZ's recent scrims.

An update on the scene:
ZETA is likely to part ways with their current head coach, XQQ

Speaking of leaks, the leak from the guy whose name starts from B saying that all the ZETA players are on sale, that is a completely false information. Don’t worry.

It’s not a JP thing, but T1 is set to sign

iZu and xccurate, the brother of f0rsakeN.
As the title of this thread suggests, T1 signing iZu were a famous rumor, but now it is confirmed.

It includes spoilers of the T1s roster for the 2024 season, so be careful when you open it.

Is there any news on JDT Art potentially making it onto one of Zeta or DFM?

Sadly Art temporarily leaves from competitive scene. He said on stream.
He failed all tryouts. He is very toxic player, some pro player and team rejected to play with him.
He had offers from mid-level teams, but finally did not sign bacause the team was not competitive enough.

If he receives an offer from a promising team, he will return to the competitive scene.

He is very toxic, since when???? Says who?????
All of I’ve seen of him is him being super sweet kind and caring

Unfortunately,
Art remarked during Stream that his own personality makes him a very Toxic person in ranked matches and in competition matches.
He's one of the top Japanese players, but that's probably why he said he failed all his tryouts for the team he wanted.
JDT eventually disbanded the team because some players refused to team up with him.

Damn… well the fact that it is self admitted is the first step towards change. Which is a good sign, hope to see him play
