Thank you

I'm not as active as I used to be anymore tho, at some point I thought of quitting , but I chose to stay because I still believed in my vision.

I'm only around when japan plays.

Stellar disbanded

Someone need to pick Feli, this guy has the potential to do good

Out of everyone on BB why do you have to drop lafura 😭

I mean , sure but this post doesn't offend literally anyone 😂

Beh phai (不坏）

Why is this thread downvoted lol

Fun fact people who can actually understand this context not just literally will easily deduce where I'm actually from, but alas internet exists 😂

Suspected cheater, iirc riot's method of audit is questionable as well so can't tell if he's actually cheating or not. Also this guy is a massive PR risk

Agreed, can't really blame them for playing so badly when it's pure coaching diff lol

Nvm God Take back to sleep it seems

They need to save BRIAN lol

Legit coaching diff

Muto BRIAN activated and the long awaited God Take is back awake. No wonder they're on a roll lol

Jp pros have also complained about cheaters in their servers

You need to make use of what you have. It's not as if the talent pool is stagnant

Zeta Academy just proved that there are players with potential the orgs haven't touched.
prospects like Keisu and Satwoshi is on their way to next split.

You wanna watch IGZIST played like shit for 1 year ?😂😂

That only slows org repairments, it doesn't guarantee that orgs will start looking for domestic talents. In fact, due to the perception that imports are more guaranteed they actually double down on imports because now recruiting players are essentially a long term thing.

Riot needs to implement something that can be guaranteed to force these orgs

They won't but Riot will, they loved viewerships and money more than anything, and the numbers are failing on all fronts.

But yeah it would be nice if there are talented IGL coming from japan.

Shut up lol I watched them. Akame might have had the best japanese out of all Koreans on VCJ. While jinboong had very thick Korean accent.

Not everyone, people forgot about this but Meteor needed Joxjo to translate stuff for him back in Northeption.

I assume Impact got cut off from Sengoku quickly because gwangboong had to translate things for him

And most importantly it's to avoid players like Yoshiii and Yotaa who are japanese but can't speak Japanese, they're basically just imports lol

.

You mean like mini franchising? I don't think that solves the problem.

The problem with VCJ rn is lack of commitment and good will. Orgs like Scarz exist while CGZ continues to use their scouting solely for imports. A mini franchising only makes things worse by not providing an org why they should change, in fact doing that now only sort of "rewards" orgs for doing basically nothing.

If the orgs are not moving then riot should. Force their hands into unable to get imports.

Different Nationalities, Koreans come from VCK not VCJ.

I'm talking about VCJ not Pacific.

As simple as reducing import slots to just 1 per team. Speaking fluent Japanese should be mandatory.

In the long run.

The most important thing for riot is Zeta and DFM to maintain the Japanese viewership. Tier 1 players come from Tier 2 and a failing tier 2 system will produce suboptimal domestic talents.

Japanese doesn't want to watch a full Korean team. But they don't want to watch a losing team either. That means Riot will have to fix the system. Either way import slots will be reduced to 1 unless Korean spies disguised as Japanese orgs complained just like how LCS orgs wanted to remove the import slots

I would even go so far as to equate the loss of Smolensk to other region widening the gap to the point of no return

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sta%C5%84czyk_(painting)#cite_ref-9

The painting serves as a poignant representation of 19th-century Polish society, capturing the profound impact of the loss of Smolensk, a fortress that held vital significance as a stronghold against the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Its fall foreshadowed a series of tragic events that would befall Poland in the ensuing decades.
Within the artwork, the figures at the ball symbolize the Polish nobles who, in pursuit of self-interest and personal gain, compromised the nation's sovereignty by aligning themselves with foreign empires. This opportunistic course of action ultimately contributed to the downfall of the nation.

The similarity towards VCJ is very much the same.
Jester = Me
the ball = Orgs thinking the region has made deep progress
Polish nobles who, in pursuit of self-interest and personal gain, compromised the nation's sovereignty by aligning themselves with foreign empires. = Represents orgs who knowingly imports players in the name of short term gain.
(added) loss of Smolensk = other region widening the gap to the point of no return

Jan Matejko goated. He clearly knew my feelings even on his grave

Ryumon "Reita" Oshiro

Yowamu has to be the most improved player this split.

He ended up in top 4 back in nth and he was carried hard.
Now in top 3 he's the one who's doing the heavy lifting.

Omg pls update the score lol, the stream ended alr and were still at 2 1 😂

I'll have to give props to reject, I realized they actually tried new prospects.

Nfx picking nth core is very in character of them

They don't even have to do that, just reduce the import slot to 1 and the effect will be very visible

It's growing but it's indeed smaller than Kr. But that's not the main problem.

The main problem is even when the pool is growing orgs are not even trying to scout them. Those with larger resources will develop players faster, the problem is those resources usually goes to young imports, while domestic talents have to rely with fewer resources, this slows development while young imports are being developed faster. For every import recruited the scene just step 1 step back in terms of progression.

Which is why I'm praying for Zeta AC or DFM AC to finally beat the shit out of these teams, which Zeta AC came close to defeating Reject and Murash.

Incentives are great and all, but what they really need is push and pull factor, they need to be forced to comply.

At this point we're helping our enemies more than we're helping ourselves.

I do understand that my thoughts are at odds with org's vision. But these orgs are getting out of hand, Scarz exists, while CGZ continue to scout young imports.

Orgs are just running away from reality trying to "win".

Either way I think franchising and ascension is the root cause of this mentality issue

I can't lie I actually thought of this before lol
https://www.vlr.gg/429575/vcl-import-rules

I agree on this. But they need to stop getting anymore imports leaving only those who only played in Japan, this is to stop this category from being abused

He's the IGL iirc, Japan lacks IGL which is why I find it understandable that they import one, and he performed well too

Can't help it unfortunately, getting rid of addiction is hard. But regardless they're trying.

Except Jan Seoldam and Joxjo there are legitimate reasons why most imports should go. And they are looking very replaceable.

It's actually getting better imo, we're getting there. Sengoku are starting to redeem themselves.

BUT, it would be great if Sc0rz actually tries to pick young domestic prospects instead of 3 imports and CGZ to finally use their scouts to look for local domestic talents man. NFX needs to stop sticking to nostalgia and get rid of eko and esperanza

Don't forget CR0ST Gayming, these orgs are constantly proving to riot that somehow despite insanely bad management Zeta is still the best team actually trying to develop japan as a region

A call towards Japanese orgs to stop importing players and start to develop the talents they have e like they are supposed to do 3 years ago.

They are constantly running away from that reality, deluding themselves that they are improving, they sure do but with minimal growth with every orgs trying to be "inclusive " and "diverse". They're making it as if zeta academy monopolized all the young prospects with 10 academy member in their team when in reality zeta academy rn is just a consequence of shitty org behaviors.

Stop trying to develop other region's talent ffs, let them play in their region. It's time to roll back your DEI programs.

But now that I've taken a rest I have to say, they picked the worst timing to complain lol.

Yowamu and Thiefy on NFX
Muto and BRIAN on RC
Caedye , Absol, NOBITA etc are currently frying the scene.

I mean sure, the imports are still carrying, but it's not as bad as 3 years ago. And now, we are at a time where it's actually the imports who are a burden. This complain feels like coming from someone who doesn't watch the scene lol.

Should've complained when Something fried the scene and the fans are amazed like an idiot they are, they should've been pissed wayyyy before, not now when the talent are starting to show up lol.

That's what you get for trying supporting DEI programs disguised as valorant division thinking it's cool that your region is "diverse" unknowingly harming the scene's longevity

I've been saying that Japan's path to a great region will be long and hard and ultimately need a lot if time but I got laughed at.

Thx for the input man

Thank god Laz are no longer affiliated with this pathetic ass of an org

Can't help it, Muto was on his choking phase , and he's still growing, at least I get to see something beneficial from jadeite.

Either way, even if scarz actually won ascension, I still won't accept that fake win, if anything them winning potentially creates a serious consequence possibly opening the gates for more imports to japan.

Trust me that if Sc0rz actually got the spot instead of bleed they would remove all the japanese in the team. This org is nothing but cancer to the scene

3 imports in 2023
4 imports in 2024
3 imports ( almost 4) in 2025

Yoshii despite 3 years into the scene but still can't speak japanese for shit. The whole roster speaks Japanese and he still speak with limited comms like a fucking idiot. Yoshii must have Scarz's CEO nude pics because they treated him like he's a king, well they served the wrong king it seems.

Exploiting "half japanese" rule to land us in the shitshow scarz are in. Caedye and Yatsuka are half japanese too and yet they speak japanese.

Signing washed players like Medusa and Anthem ( bro still have hope but he gotta prove it in premier, not on scarz)

Loaned their best prospect to BB only to watch him obliterates his opponents, proceeds to bring him back and fucking ruined this guy, and replaced him with goddamned zepher. Sc0rz had 1 chance to be redeemable and they chose to be hateable.

Is there even something to like about this org? They seemed to get the wrong idea that more imports would lead them to ascension when it's just jemkin and kr1stal carrying them to ascension finals. They're the types that would be happy if the scene just degrades further and further

People just spent more time hating orgs than supporting their favorites.

Not related to franchised teams but when DEI program like sc0rz exists and considering the scene's health, I can't help but become lowtiergod wannabe

Leave the scene or stop your DEI program disguised as Valorant Division.
I thought you guys redeemed yourself when you signed Satwoshi but no, you want to take shortcut and replaced him with Zepher.
Thats's when I know you guys are piece of shit org.

Plesase build your refugee camp elsewhere, complacent af org.

We Gotta get rid of parasites one step at a time

Actually there are orgs that tries to develop domestic talent by building academy teams however they lacked the audience like Zeta.

I used to think this will be helpful, I still think this is, many current scenes talents at some point played in Academy teams , but now this is probably just an excuse for orgs to keep importing players wihile pretending to "develop" the talents

They need 3 more it seems
