has announced its disbandment, and also revealed landing spots for its remaining three players, Kim "SereNa"
Sia (김시아), Suzu "suzu"
Sasaki, and Sarina "Moco"
Kawashima.
"As a result of careful internal discussions regarding the ZETA DIVISION VALORANT GC division, we have determined that it will be difficult to allocate resources to the current GC competition scene and that it will be difficult to continue operating the division, so we have decided to disband," ZETA said in a press release.
The announcement to disband comes after a season that can be regarded as the most successful in organization history for ZETA Division GC. After sweeping through Game Changers Japan Split 1 and Split 2 while only dropping three maps in the process, they qualified for Game Changers Pacific as one of two Japanese representatives. They fought through the group stage and eventually the playoffs, only losing to the eventual champions
