Japanese Valorant

#1

USCK

I remember Valorant being massive in Japan yet they still lack many good t1 talents and it’s not like the Japanese scene is underdeveloped either so what went wrong?

Japanese scene has been on a decline since 2021

japan does have a weird issue of viewing esports as just entertainment instead of something to aspire to play, japanese owcs also has this same issue where people watch the game for fun instead of actually playing it. my theory is that due to the working culture people dont have time to actually play the game so instead they just watch it

A team full of strikers is better then a team full of goalkeepers

nepotism/bad roster moves in zeta and bad roster moves in DFM

I would say this year they should be more competitive, relying more on cracked tier 2 talent

Management by both dfm and zeta are shit
Talents are there it's just very dispersed across tier 2 teams
Playerbase not that big but growing (idk lmao)
Idk lol help me list more 😅
Esports more like spectator sport so doesn't translate to playerbase getting bigger

esports was hindered by gambling laws in Japan for a while.
