would be better to not, language issues and obviously he has more opportunities than the other players anyways. If he gets signed by GenG because HSK already likes him he won't be moving to GE anyways.

Their spot in vct is also on the line, Zeta probably wouldn't get replaced so easily because of their popularity but DFM should be sweating with the amount of good orgs in JP

Gyen is an 18year old prospect who was always a top ranked player in games like Fortnite and Overwatch at a very young age. A lot of tier2 Japanese teams and the Zeta academy wanted him because of his insane mechanical skills, he also trialed for some but didn't want to sign a contract until he was 18. A lot of pros like GON in the Japanese scene rate him extremely high.

He also has some cool ranked highlights https://youtu.be/RG2vWKbwMmY

Very high risk, high reward type of pickup from DFM. He got picked over a lot of other different players in their trials like Gwangboong, Tenzou and Neth to name a few.

Wdym by wasn't good? He had to igl for the team in Japanese and made grandfinals in split1 dropping over 100 kills in that LAN bo5. He also had to flex every role from duelist to Sentinel, smokes and a bit of initiator. In my books that's a great individual season even when the team fell off in Split2.

they played in the b-team of the Zeta academy, rn they are trying to find the right five players roster for their main team. Also both are just 15year and 16 year old kids rn.

There is none if you don't even try. Reusing the same old washed players won't achieve anything long term. At this point look out for ranked/premier players and just try to recruit them at least that will get them somewhere even if it takes years, If you don't do anything at all nothing happens.

aim training really isn't that hard to get into, they are a lot of good guides from people in the aim community to get better in aiming fast. Maybe they also have a really bad problem with work ethic if they can't get those basics done.

The biggest problem is obviously lack of good coaching, like even if players like Paradox and Skrossi have "okay-ish" mechanics they have really bad fundamentals: they take too many solo fights, don't set themselves up with util, do enough basic crossfires and sometimes completely don't understand how to play in situations with an advantage or disadvantage. It's not even strats a lot of the times it's just about how you should play in a tac-fps in general.

Either way it's a lot of issues that are lined up and dealing with them takes years even if they start to build academy rosters next year, results will take a lot of time and the playerbase needs to start grinding hard to make finding talent easier.

wait till Valorant mobile comes out and have them kids swap over to PC one day. It will just take a decade till they are catching up smh.

Realistically the orgs in the scene just need to take more risks and just take young ranked players with good mechanical talent and start building academy rosters with the goal of developing young talent. Imo you can't have players with bad mechanics in your team unless they are the igl, a lot of those older Indian pros just are genuinely bad at aiming compared to other regions players.

Part of the problem is that orgs don't take enough risks and try new players out and only rely on old players most of the time, also feels like only Venka and maybe Techno are the legit only real talent for the Indian scene in the last 4years.

They need to be harsh on their regional talents and swap old players out with more younger people in the scene. A lot of those olds players like Skillz don't even have good enough mechanical skill to survive against the average radiant apac player, they are so far behind just in the mechanics it's actually insane, especially this Ascension just showed how much worse the "best" Indians players were in aiming than most other regions.

it's was over a month ago, that's why DFM picked Gyen over him. He couldn't play well in trials while being injured badly. Altho it is possible that he recovered enough to trial for GenG

Minty probably got picked by Fennel, it's the only org that has possible slots open for him. He is too good to not actually get a place in a tier2 team.

it doesn't help that the players that left were by far their best two players in the team

It's a worse team in general tho, Bazz and Minty were by far their best players

Crest win gg

doubt it

Xavi would be a really interesting pick have heard a lot of good things of orgs that trialed with him, his agent pool is insane and his stats are absurd if you look them up. He is very fluent in English also has US citizenship lol and is a very good fragging igl if needed. He was actually rumored to be the 4th on Bleed behind Aspas with how well he was supposedly doing in trials.
Foxy9 is also just a great individual player it's just probably harder for him since he isn't that fluent in English.

his buyout was like 800k last year, there is no way anybody can afford him after he extended

also I just don't think it's true the 2023 roster was just better with Sayf being on the team and them reaching Internationals.

that's not a hard accomplishment

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
