I'm genuinely surprised by the scarz's ability to pick up such great yet underrated players from other teams and regions. First was yoshiii and now tixx and yotaa. Rosterwise its even or crest favor but I am certain both teams would qualify if they are in good shape.

Yeeesssssss..... LONG WAITED VICTORY!!!!!

It genuinely looks so fun at the venue. I wish I could go

Need Kr1stal back since he's FA. Get better duelist from korea and replace allen/tempura with someone like art.

Japan is unironically better than sg at least in t2. Now that jingg is gone to national service (sad) there is only 2 sg player in franchise as well. It's just dfm giving bad impression and jp tends to spread their talents across different teams rather than making a superteam like last years bleed.

Just build around tenzou and yoshiii... These two deserves better. Bring back Kr1stal and add two more players.

Yuran masterclass. No experience in competitive scene not even tier 2 before playing in pacific league and do well

they dont got igl tho. neth can igl but the quality of igling is not good

Holy shit anthem actually needs to get fired. Meiy and others trying to carry and this guy just throws

ぶっちゃけdfm相手にこれだけできればかなり上出来。負けたラウンドも人数有利武器有利を捨ててるラウンドばっかりだったしちょっと上達すれば2勝ぐらいできる

Role issue, and it seems like ssees does better than popogachi.

that's what im saying. Most of the rounds they lost/threw are due to small mistakes and flashback completely stomping gunfights. If they trade better it should be even closer or better yet a map win

DFM unironically not bad at all. Like they do have some sloppy execution and small mistakes and throwing advantages, but other than that, its not bad. Even the rounds they lose, it's not all that bad.

zeta always start slow and sloppy especially dep and sugarzero. Should be better in split1. They said they need some time and not looking for immediate success as well.

zeta's macro and execution are still sloppy, but also zeta is slow starter soooo

Misaya needs to step up for real or he's getting fired. Like he never improved mechanically nor his igling. Now that art is in sengoku there's no reason to keep him

Thank god they got a win.

he is headcoach for that team. I'm pretty sure noppo doesn't really do any actual "coaching" especially in terms of macro.

He declined offer from both zeta and dfm. CLZ declined as well iirc. He said he wanted to win ascension with fennel

Only1 masterclass

Yoshiii masterclass

Nah after art left the team crest isn't the same. There's a huge gap between art and flax in terms of impact and it's not even close.

Need Brian to be more consistent. He has explosiveness and his peak performance is really high but he's real quiet otherwise.

This. NTH shouldn't be bad on paper. But Nobita and Gatorada and the twins are really good ig. That being said two of the best aimers? I highly rate thiefy (not sure why other teams like reject or fennel didn't pick him in tryout) but who is the other one? Neither yowamu or pepper isn't aim god.

Significantly better than when joxjo and suggests was in the roster. Apparently those two have been struggling mentally for a while now. Still gonna be hard to grab a win

Thailand has one of the best tier2 scene in apac along japan and maybe indonesia....

Honestly surprised by yuran's performance. I only thought he plays sova and viper but he put up a good performance with raze though some mistakes. Little more time and they can be really good team

weirdly enough, jemkin has 0-5 record against CR for some reason.

not sure about neth tho. My man is getting old and his performance isn't like 2021 anymore. Still happy him and meiy got opportunity in franchise

He said he joined the NWG, but it is also reported that Kr1stal was spotted in Northeption scrims as well. (Could be trial or against NTH)

Literally 0 info amongst Japanese leakers. The only rumor they have is CR shutting down/halting operation of val team and the roster (neth meiy popo) transferring to DFM with 2 korean imports (rumored to be joxjo and suggest) and SSees for some reason. Unless they remove melofovia and their management team, DFM will never ever create a good team. The only thing they do is reuse 2021/2022 players instead of getting talented young players from tier 2 scene. That being said, no one likes DFM so no one is willing to move there either(fennel players, CR players etc...)

so many minor decision making mistakes causing round loss one after another. Hopefully they fix it soon

今年もT2は別に悪くなかったけどね。zetaは想像以上によかったしDFMは置いといて

having upgrade does not mean it's good, 1/10 to 2/10 is not a sufficient upgrade. XQQ and carlao are equally ass if not carlao is worse given the achievement in the past. I agree with being doubtful about yuran but hiroronn was arguably the best sentinel in the japanese tier 2 (challenger) with consistently good performance. The only player of his caliber is probably meiy or syota both of which are very royal to their team and would not leave their team. (small chance that meiy could go dfm tho)

ain't no way you calling carlao a good coach and hiroronn fucked up. also tennn was mad underperforming throughout the season, don't know why they picked yuran over others tho.

He is pretty good, would say 2nd best player on team rn. As far as I know Caedye is the best one from the academy, but since yuran is the only one above 18, they put him on team and hiroronnn who is former zeta ac and is prob best sentinel in the region. People are pretty doubtful about yuran as well

He may not be up here but I like fadezis as well. Dude had no coaching experience prior and made tier2 team in the worst region 2nd place at ascension in like less than a year.

KOUJI USHIDA

has always been. junior did majority of the work with execution and stuff, xqq was in charge of macro and comp and all that stuff. also they seems to be more relaxed with junior cuz he's awkward and funny in a good way

damn that's like 180 from what forsaken said

IIRC dep and tennn are also 5 digits in osu. Also oitaN from igzist is like 3 digits (known mnk player)

Yea that's good roster except iZu is miles better than tenten and it's very unlikely that CR and Fennel players leave their team. I would keep and xnfri and entire scarz roster and iZu. So iZu, Kr1stal, Allen(yoshii), toraneco xnfri would be more realistic option. ( I don't think scarz release their roster unless dfm purchases their entire roster though).

I guess team that spends millions to get the best players wins over the team of players from t2 and 3 scenes who improved over time. Sadge

or maybe just replace entire roster with fennel. Fennel is good aside from being giga inconsistent

With scandal in lol division, it wouldn't be a surprise if DFM is out of franchise league and fennel comes in given fennel has ljl team. Or that's what I hope

Just read the reply from fadezis, sounds right

This actually sounds good though it would be little unrealistic in terms of the number of teams and the cost of operation. Although I would love to see Pacific league split into 2 like APAC north(Japan, Korea, China) and APAC South (SA, SEA and Australia), North and South American league, and maybe bigger Europe scene? But then there will be too many teams (Well over 40 if not 50 teams) and the cost of operation will be too much for Riot and prob not worth for them.

Poor Brazil

Feel like this only goes in Japan because of the distinction they make between fiction and real life. Like a lot of people are fine with it as long as it's a fictional story.

lmaoooo i dont really care about the war and shits but this is funny
