he is signed till like 2028 or some shit

at least Fadezis is a good coach lmao

well then you missed out that he signed until 2026

smh Aspas wanted Carlao obviously to stay as a coach so he can play with Zeta for two years now

he actually got his contract extented to 2026

yeah Zeta ain't winning shit next year

just read your dms bro

hyped for Kippei on SG

the thing with dfm is that they always play dm with their roster before they start scrimming early in the day. For the last two days they have played Deathmatch at the same time as Aace does and Aace also has been the only player being made LFT by Riddle, the timing really makes me wonder especially since Gyen didn't play at all on any of his two accounts I have been tracking (he may have a third account). The core of Meiy, Art, Akame and Jinboong had been scrimming well over a month together now, I don't think that will change at all.

btw it seems that DFM maybe trialing with Aace as their 5th rn, are you really sure about Gyen is signed and not part of their academy roster or RBH only?

Really? Unlucky then he was the best coach in JP aside from maybe Vorz.

he probably has better mechanics than the Riddle players but he definitely doesn't have the experience, it's a high risk high reward move. He did trial with other Japanese teams before but didn't want to sign with any until he was 18. They were trialing LOB, Gwangboong, Tenzou and Gyen for that final 5th spot, the rest had been scrimming together for well over a month at this point.

he should be still part of the staff, Tanmay may just forgot about him.

he is just making stuff up lmao

Wdym not as good mfer igled for a whole year in Japanese.

tbf Split 3 doesn't really matter at all

they are not even trying to trial the riddle players lmao

How is he overrated when he makes two different Ascension finals in two different regions and even wins one of them as a fragging igl? He also has a really good agent pool.

Especially since he was part of the coaching staff before I don't really think he will stay lmao

I think you mean Filu since Kamo was in tier1 and wasn't that great anyways, Lime also has just some of the biggest flexibility of any duelist players in Tier2 you literally could put him on any role and he will frag out.
Anyways Koi themselves just make it harder to get a good team and are way too focused on getting "hyped" players instead of building a good cohesive roster that makes sense, they don't have that much bargain power compared to the other tier1 orgs and just should trial more underrated and less popular options.

I mean if Koi can't get the players that they want and ngl I don't see how Filu and Kamo are better than Lime no front, they will need to definitely consider other options. At this point just pick up some Turkish players without a buyout.

I mean he must be good if the Zeta academy and other tier2 teams wanted to sign him before and he rejected them all because he wasn't 18 yet. At the end of the day if he just does play well in scrims and the team has good synergy it can't be a bad move. He objectively is more mechanically talented than the Riddle players by a good gap. I do personally think this roster is by far better than the one that Zeta can create and they also have good coaching which Zeta definitely lacks.

Honestly fuck CGN, they are destroying the careers of their players, having Benny as a perma player and wasting the other players career.

Also they could try to get some of the Acend players since they aren't contracted anymore right?
Musashi, Alive and the others aren't that bad especially when Musashi doesn't have to igl.

Do they have that much of a buyout? it really seems weird since they are objectively really good players

Nah they have been scrimming without Neth for two weeks.
It's also the 4th time in a row that they scrimmed with gyen as a 5th player now. It seems like they have found their roster:

Meiy, Art, Akame, Jinboong and Gyen

Idk couldn't Koi just go for some of the Dach players?
Like Lime, Anguist, DaviH, Fizzy, Alorante would be really good players to pick up. It honestly feels like they are just bad at scouting players and not trying to increase the player pool.

That would be an actual good move without nepotism, can't have those around when you think about Team Secret.

They are literally having a full Indian academy team next year, no point of having a full Indian main roster now.

The team is decent Akame is fluent in Japanese, he literally can flex every role, he even igled this year in Japanese. Jinboong is just an incredible aimer on the sentinel role, also spoke Japanese on Sengoku.
The last player spot is in a weird place I think LOB is very unlikely, he injured himself badly and didn't trial since then. The last players they trialed for that 5th spot was Gyen, Gwanboong and Tenzou. Gyen is like a prodigy that a lot of Japanese org wanted but he didn't want to sign a contract until he was 18. They obviously could trial the Riddle players and pick them for that last slot.

Zeta definitely needs another coach, best way is to just poach Vorz the coach of Riddle

I mean their rosters that are rumored aren't that bad actually.

ZETA:
Dep, Sugar, Syouta, Clz and Xdll

DFM:
Meiy, Akame, Art, Jinboong and gyen

surely they will do well next year COPIUM

bro Beyn and Flashback have been academy players for years lmao

Take is already signed by Reject, I personally guess that Fav just promoted Rui since Bazz left for Crest. Not sure if Minty is also leaving for another org.

Water is wet, it's literally the only thing Bleed has lmao. They have insane amount of money in a very nice place as headquarters, living in Singapore and Seoul for a year while getting the bag doesn't seem like a bad deal.

tbh there is also just other players they could trial.
Freeing, Udotan, Yoman and the Ascension players if they lose against SPG which they probably will. Think of PTC, Shiro and so on. I hope they trial a lot of players to find synergy very early this time.

it could be art, he also got kicked from Crest even tho that roster looked insane on paper.
He is still a very good igl, probably the best Japanese igl rn as long as no fight happens.

they definitely got done dirty with Ascension being this late in the season. Aace, Caedye and Yatsuka have talent and potential for tier1 but they also had the best igl and coach in tier2 it kinda takes away from their individual prowess. I definitely can and hope to see them in like a 2026 Japanese tier1 roster when they prove themselves again.

he is 18, actually the oldest out of the three Japanese players. The other two turn 18 by January

he will probably still get a trial maybe he will do good an get into the roster still. Defnitely would need to learn a lot of other agents, it feels like Grumble has way better chances just because of his insane agent pool.

art is definitely the better igl. Akame is like an ace of all trades but a master of none, you can basically make him play every role and he will do really good on them but he can player better individually when he doesn't need to igl. Also Akame has experience with Art being his igl previously on Jadeite, they kinda were the SPG of last year but fell apart in the last crucial moment due to internal issues in the team.

it is a hard call to make but the roster of ZETA and even DFM would look so good if it doesn't change rn and getting more than one Riddle player definitely can fuck that up. I wouldn't mind if both teams pick up one of those youngsters but I can definitely see them fail like Yuran and Hiro if they can't deal with the pressure.

I would take Aace over him ngl.
DFM current roster looks like this:
Meiy, Art, Akame, Jinboong and gyen. Trialing one of the Riddle players over gyen wouldn't be bad. They also shouldn't have comms issues since Akame was literally igling in Japanese and Sengoku also only did comms in Japanese with Jinboong.

they need mentorship or prove themselves that they can do it without JoxJo as an igl just like Syouta tried this year.

honestly I want Zeta to sign their coach, Carlao is such a fraud and what Vorz did with this very young roster was impressive.

how so??? Individually those are pretty great players and Art was a good igl when he worked with Akame on Jadeite last year.

they shouldn't do it, their team is pure trash ngl. Imo it would be better to just get Minty and other decent player in their region and have a normal JP roster.

he is the best next prospect for JP, Scarz fumbled so hard with their management.
