Korean / Japanese Players

Why are there so many so many korean players playing in japanese teams with japanese players ? Just curious .Won't there be language barriers between the players????

cause korea is the best asian region for valorant

proximity

i always thought of language barrier between them lmfao
do koreans learn japanese in elementary or something
you see many koreans in japanese teams but never a single japanese in korean speaking team

cuz there's many japanese val org and good salary with passionate fans that a lot spend their money for team/players goods

Japan pays very very well in tier 2 so players that are good enough to compete talk with japanese orgs to see if they can get paid well by an org that will actually support them

they just learn the language mate, it's not so hard to communicate ingame when u are learning/speaking the language 8 hours a day

There are some people that have one korean dad n japanese mom. Ofcourse they can speak both language. Usually that kind of people that played in different region.

the worst korean players are still among the top of japanese. thats why

They just learn. Look at the league. There are Korean players everywhere in the world - Europe, China, NA, even Brazil - and they learn the language no matter what. Koreans have little advantage in learning Japanese because the languages are similar, but that's irrelevant.

In Korea, It's quite a big business. there are agents who only work for export players and English teachers who only teach professional gamers.
