Its about time they grow new and young igl so I'm fine with it. The roles really depends on the meta at the time, but minty has solid flex picks and yatsuka can play smokes. (All former zeta ac kids can play any roles) so I think they would do just fine. Top3 split3 for sure

They are rebuilding roster with Medusa lob Satoshi and anthem which sounds pretty good on paper.

Joxjo is more than likely to leave and either be their coach or just retire. I assume yatsuka smoke caedye and seoldam split duelist and initiator. Minty is flex and hiroron is rumored to join the team.

My man showed the pride of veteran. That was such a beautiful grand slam

There's a good chance they do some role swaps on riddle. It seemed like yatsuka and aace wanted to play other roles so if they ever resign him, chances are pretty high

They originally wanted to go in franchise but failed to do so, but the owner wanted to send his team to franchise so they partnered up dfm who wanted talents ands popularity of CR so it was mutually beneficial. That being said I would say CR is in control of the val department or that's what I thought until last year. Don't know about this year tho

idk but for various reasons. Biggest streamer like daruma is also on hiatus for like 9month and others too.

CR is on a bit of fall as of recent since some of their big streamers are not streaming and zeta's streamer is just way bigger in terms of number too

no wonder. and they are really not that flexible when it comes to this type of things either

Dk why they used omen tho. After the buff astra is really good and sugarzero is one of the best astra player in the world.

kazakh is considered imports in apac? Isn't it central asia?

are you like 40years old? lists are great just these are really old

nono it's just like how aspas has his language set to japanese. lot of people just change their language to other ones they dont speak for reasons. (idk why but prob cuz they think its cool?)

because by the time dfm and zeta have decided to stick with their member, riddle just finished ascension and had to stay the team until shit like bleed happened. I I gotta say it's pretty unfortunate

tbf toraneco was really important part of the team. He also did shotcall as like sub igl and was team captain taking care of everyone, kinda like their dad and good friend of kr1stal so.

Ngl the game was banger. Darvish vs Yamamoto was just hot game

All of these players are decent shooters. Just need more fundamentos and better macro

I'm pretty sure ripablo is igling so

It was lovely watching this. props to both teams for playing over 50rounds

I think he said something like he does better with guardian. He only does it during ot and he's been doing it for a year now I think

this might be the funniest shitshow I've ever watched in my life and it's just so funny ahahahaha. The level of game play is so bad yet it's such an banger cant stop laughing

tbf most of the players are rookies or 2nd year and it is the first tournament after roster recomp.

While this is not the highest level of competition, far from last year's tier 2 games, it is an absolute banger of a game and there's no denying that. Absolute Cinema and I love it.

I feel like this team gonna fumble really bad

do you have any idea who Impact is? The only one i Know is korean toplaner

I kinda feel bad for him. I'm pretty sure he didn't want to play smoke in the first place, but did well during challenger. Then kinda underperformed during ascension. I'm sure within a year or two he'll be in tier1

I hope its zeta butr realistically speaking its either chinese team or navi

Ik he is and he was learning Japanese last year (idk now) but I doubt he speaks japanese good enough to avoid comm error. Though I would love to see him on zeta

Communication error is inevitable. Also clz needs to learn English or Portuguese if that's the case

Ngl I think scarz building non japanese roster was fine in the league cuz that means the domestic talents won't be so spread out, and it's nice to see international roster in pacific cuz it's rare only ge bleed and PRX does it.

Pretty sure he's laughing at how ridiculous the situation is, not mockery

With neth on left, dfm gyen is getting more realistic

wait so which team is he rumored to join? 100t?

I'm curious about the roles. Would gyen be playing initiators then? Because afaik he only plays clove and reyna and this guy got no experience, not even in tier 2. Also where did you get the info? I assume its some pros stream but who is it?

I know this is close to 0% but sinatraa?

or could be caedye. we don't really know who's gonna play which role assuming syota and clz joins zeta.

it may seem like neth might be the 5th. He's been grinding ranked with initiators so I assume he plays initiators which make sense because that was the only role missing. He was also spotted duoing with akame, jinboon and art so I think it's more than likely that he stays

Fascinating but holy that pricing is outrageous. Most of valorant player base are students and can't afford that.

Nah I think there's a spot for him to be a duelists in tier2 kinda like absol. I can imagine fennel or reject picking him up even sengoku.

I'm pretty sure he is on a loan to bluebees and not fully contracted. Though I don't see how he will be playing for scarz main team given they want to keep English roster

He can legit play tier1 with more experience in tier2.

iZu is their best player since last season. He can play anything and is a very good shooter

Could go Japanese tier2 since he listed japanese as one of his languages but he's definitely above that caliber. I doubt there's any spot for him cuz franchise is filled with insane duelists.

Still a loan. They could retrieve him though I could honestly see him go reject or fennel with this skill

Satoshi kid is absolutely insane. While his opponent wasn't the strongest team, this kid went 44/10. Iirc he also dropped insane number during previous tournament too.

Depends on the bracket. Prob like 1 or 2 teams in playoffs both of which loses
first match

Flint and steel on 3rd slot and I used to put bow on 9th slot

Ey to be fair, aspas was learning Japanese and is a very good friend with dep so you never know.

Igl and team captain doesn't necessarily have to be same person. Igl is just in game shot calling after all. Team captain should be in charge emotional side to keep good mental for the team. For example laz was a really good leader while he wasn't igling. (Not saying he was bad leader when he was igling)

It's more like hiroron left zeta ac for fennel for over a year during which he kinda lost them. Though it's best if they all play their comfortable role
