EMEA got pansy, quokka, ash,etc
NA got mimi, etc

Pacific only has female hosts and anchors but no female casters or analysts on desk

Teams designed those, Riot just posted them

We got stew, RB, Zest and King, we just need one more and they're winning Ascension

I thought you were talking about NCT 127's Yuta lol

Which map was this? I missed the whole game

https://www.youtube.com/@Sliggytv - His channel

yes Buzz was ranking up his alt account, it's uploaded on DRX's main yt channel

But so many pro players do that on stream, to play with their low elo friends, using someone else's account. I guess this is just a Japanese thing. I guess they get Koreans and Russians to play in the scene so they don't care enough to not develop the Japanese scene.

I don't see how smurfing or playing on other accounts in ranked is an issue, many Korean players do it, Buzz even uploaded a video about reaching diamond from his other account. Why does this seem an issue?

Damn, that ascent last round 1v3 cost this match to fennel

They won't, seems like they're sticking with the Japanese-only rule. In their HQ video, they probably had the new player in it as he was blurred. Crow has been there since absolute Jupiter CSGO days and probably has more brain power, he did igled his way in Reykjavik and also dominated in japan at the start. Laz said he usually does the mid-round calls before.

To be specific they said crow = coach, ten and XQQ = cc

No. He didn't want to move to Korea for franchising because he wanted to get his degree first. He mentioned in his stream his parents wanted him to have a degree before going full time pro

I remember Sliggy and William saying in Platchat or in the stream, the team is really good but they just need a newer game plan as they are really readable and their mental is really weak against said strong teams.

yeah, laz has been streaming so much lately, I am worried they let all 5 of them go. Tenn used to randomly stream long hours before so not that surprised but Laz's streaming pattern was fix no matter what events matches were but he is streaming a lot and long hours. But he also said they wil surely have new members/change roster for new season so not sure

DFM lakia?

Whyz was the original Chinese Jett before kk came

No eww

He's recovering now, but can't work out or do much physical stuff.

They posted the Pacific people only. Not other regions

I thinks its Zheng Ming Jie

I think the casters said, I don't remember where I heard or saw it

He was injured so he was out, do you expect him to play with an injured arm?

Yesterday, Laz was saying something in his stream about roster change/team issues, I am not good at Japanese so don't know what exactly he said

It's more stereotypical, if I am talking about k/j/c-pop people assume I am female but if I talk about Val/Pubg/Lego/anime they just assume I am a male

Thank you Sandy Cheeks!!<3

Can anyone explain how the lcq is gonna work in spongebob terms? Do all tokyo qualified teams go to champions and LCQ will be between 7 teams only?

he went to international school, so his english is good. He also speaks Korean to a good extent

nope, they moved him back, sugarzero wasn't doing good

GenG is pulling a CrazyRacoon

They really went from dropping zero maps in whole split to losing 3-0 to this. Put neth back on Raze lol

Zeta has a set rule for players as well, they want only Japanese to avoid the language barrier issue. Zeta is the sole team since Absolute Jupiter days, to not having a single non-japanese player/coach/staff.

He said yesterday, his primary focus is EMEA so he has to prioritize EMEA league, not forgetting he is cc for one of the league teams.

I'll be there as well

Fnatic has a big fanbase in Japan, boaster is the front of Fnatic valorant currently. They also did the same for f0rsaken and stax

Pati probably retired because his hand injury got worse

T1
Munchkin
Xeta
Ban
king
lakia

GenG
Bazzi
TS
Goddead
Esperenza
eko/exy

Talon
sScary - Controller
Crws - Sentinel
Foxz - Duelist/ Initiator IGL
Sushiboys - Main duelist
PTC - Initiator 2nd IGL

If sayaplayer comes back to korea he can play with T1 or GenG

Stax was IGL last year and the moved to Zest for masters 1 and 2 this year and now again moved to Stax

Zeta is full japan squad, they don't allow anyone other than japanese

Would they face the same issue as RNG faced for MSI? Hope Chinese govt don't cause issues

Man has got all the best talent but worse lucks with teams

Seems like Boom is having issues, their killjoy seems afk. You can look at the minimap she was not moving

Honeydew milk tea with lychee popping bob(no ice and normal sugar)
Taro milk tea with caramel boba(no ice and less sugar/no sugar)

Rough Translation for Laz video:
Casters: Laz-san, we knew you'll win, we were supporting(or believed in) you. Thank you for your hard work. How are you feeling(Tell us about your feelings)?
Laz: My voice is stuck. I can't even think I am so happy(starts crying)
Sorry if i translated something wrong, I'm not so good at Japanese(still learning)

Been following him since last year's japan qualifiers. It took three international tournaments just to watch him be so happy and laugh.

Less money in the region
