I've been observing this guy for some time now and looking from his performance across acts that's incredibly fast progression. I hope I don't jinx this tho

Any source on that?

Fennel ruined the regular season and also lost to Riddle.

It's not Fennel's fault that Derialy took a break and almost ruined fennel. The fact they went all the way to grand finals is already very good in on itself.

And what happened to Riddle at Ascension?

Went close against SPG and eventually took 4th place.

Laz got all kinds of unfair criticism
just hiroron level players

While Laz gets to prove to everyone by playing his usual roles, Hiroronn was unfairly criticized for playing a role that's not what he's known for. He wasn't even given the chance to prove himself to the crowd and even if he eventually did it's too late already. He got shit on all year while having to play with handicapped. Laz left Zeta having accomplished something while Hiroronn left Zeta with a bitter note that's not even his fault. .Who's getting more unfair criticism here? Everyone gets criticism but without anything to defend or even prove a point against I'm more certain that Hiroronn had it much worse than Laz

DFM on the other hand is making people curious because nothing is known about the players.

More like people are looking at Meiy only. It's very convenient to look away from bad records like SSeeS's bad result last year, Jinboong's mid showing in split 2 ( he looked completely different from his split 1's performance) and even when we're talking about positive record do people except few even know or remember that Akame's the IGL for Reject? No, people only see Meiy and Meiy only. People just don't care, and it's pointless to argue with that hell I'm even questioning what's the point of this thread when no one is going to care anyways.

Fr Japan esports management has been ass and maybe now they are improving. Was it because of high buyout clause from teams that lead them unable to get the players they wanted?

Gyen will catch up to SSeeS in no time

Yuran was signed to Sengoku recently and he's replacing Impact who is a sentinel player. However Yuran has never played sentinel once throughout his career. But he's replacing Impact who isn't even a bad player, this begs the question, did Yuran also suffer role issues just like Hiroronn did back in Zeta. Have we been misunderstanding Yuran all this time?

Murash

source : line drawing ( Murash is missing sentinel and controller) and Absol told me in my dream

Hiroronn definitely is, while I don't see how Yuran is a top prospect he got picked by Sengoku recently so I choose to trust them. It's definitely coaching ( too many cooks in the kitchen) and role problem ( Hiroronn and possibly Yuran since he's replacing Impact who is a sentinel player)

Ngl zeta's roster move last year confuse me either, this season they will potentially repeat the same mistakes again in syouta role issues

I'm talking about way before that match

Tf is wrong with current DFM, stop being stuck on the past. The team has change significantly maybe you should too.

There's no significant difference imo, imports are still imports at the end of the day.

While their potential for growth was limited, they already had a certain level of completeness at that point.

All are still young , growth potential is still there. And there's no guarantee they're that ready yet, look at zeta's performance, notice how only Dep and Sugrazero were fragging while FL members were not. Zeta isn't complete yet.

two Korean players on the team, there were communication challenges as well.

Both Koreans are fluent in Japanese.

However, despite being formed only about two weeks prior

and all 4 of them have trialed for a long time. If anything DFM is actually more complete than zeta from the start just because of this fact

If DFM and ZETA were to face off now, DFM would likely dominate.

The only reason why I favour DFM winning against zeta is because of the confidence boost from this event.

You want to kill your region?

They have disappointment fetish

Aace's clutch on bind did win them the whole grand finals for sure

Thx man

I agree with both, it's just I think some people here are being ridiculous judging a team based on their nationalities, not on who the players are

Feels kinda weird doing this lmao

Should I go for the one with the highest viewership or anyone will do?

Who's we buddy, go back sucking off liquid.

Mods, you can link one of the streamers listed here's channel

You need to count each streamers' viewership as well so it's definitely way bigger than 12 k

They also bring in Oooda and Yukishiro as casters so they are indeed legitimate

akame is great ( he's no longer igling and can focus on fragging) Jinboong is ok ( he will bring his split 2 stats to dfm if he doesn't improve and if he don't improve I'jm just saying Hiroronn is free agent rn) . They don't care which koreans they bring to DFM, for them it's Korean > Japanese which is why DFM is better than Zeta. You have to understand how braindead this line of thinking is.

This fixation on koreans is borderline racist and the fact there's 2 upvotes reaffirms my thought about why imports bring more harm than good to a region.

I know this has always been the case I just don't know for sure yet but now I know.

This happened way before dfm vs edg happened

At this point if zeta failed at riot One they will get hiroronn back and switch with syouta ( it's possible but kinda scummy tho)

While I do think zeta has a low prospect of succeeding , primarily because of the role clash between syouta and dep ( they should've just kept hiroronn imo) , but this is still fennel roster and they have the consistency.

Even prior to dfm vs edg everyone seems to think that dfm is better but yeah with dfm winning g against edg no one will change their mind now, just need to wait and see at riot One they will face off

Go to Any apac tierlist and you will notice that many rated dfm higher than zeta

Just curious why are people rating DFM higher than zeta?

I'm not saying zeta is perfect or far better than dfm but people make it out as if zeta are much worse than dfm

Can't believe my eyes lol, are you fr? 😂

Btw delight has just announced their academy roster

https://x.com/De_Del1ght/status/1860652780463284489?t=jY0Em89Gd3HkTRM3rDoPCw&s=19

While orgs like Fennel and Riddle will benefit from that, most orgs like BC Swell and RRX don't have enough clout for that.

So that's why winnable's team was defunct on premier he found a team

The name Koki is pretty common in Japan iirc

I saw maxbaka ( sayu ) 2 weeks ago. He's Neon stats is insane lmao

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/G7%20SCOUT%23ADS/overview

Istg some of these players like solluzy sota and yog are permanent academy players lmao

ikr makes you think they are related lol

Pls add art's and gyen's name
art - koki kagami
gyen - koki nakamura

thx

Ticket to split 1
Showcase new talents
Give the players and teams something to do and nkt waste org's money

Frfr, my guy got cucked by zeta being forced to play different roles

Hiroronn deserves another shot at tier 1

Not straight away, there's showmatch before bo5 🤓🤓

By the start of the season he will be 29, which is a shame if he's actually younger he will actually be a good prospect as a player

You mean win the whole tourney? I don't think they will tbh , they haven't faced DRX Geng and PRX so I didn't rate them that high yet.

With SSeeS's current performance? I think they are better. But I also consider SSeeS's age, no offense to SSeeS but I think he won't put the same performance in vct, which is why I think having gyen will do DFM better.

Yeah, I think that's the case, which is why I think he will dip for a while

He will have a slight dip in performance because of his inexperience but with SSeeS's guidance he will pick up the pace in no time.

Btw, how do you guys think DFM would have played out if Gyen was the one playing instead of SSeeS?

Oh I see lmao.

You mean as a pro?
