You don't seem to understand, I'm trying to say that you don't need to bring up ethnicity as an answer

Is the Indian part really necessary?

Highly regarded by pros in jp

Gon talked about him too in Tokyo game show.

Thx bro, but I can't open the link 😅

Imma be honest I genuinely think someone wants to eliminate jp teams as fast as possible...

It's not looking good for fennel😭

Igl first
The rest imo you list them by how saturated the roles are in the market , in Japan's case:

Sentinels ( the hardest one to find(good one), teams that have one will go far)
Controller ( it's right there)
Initiator ( surprisingly many good ones )
Duelist ( the easiest ones to find, i can list you many jp duelists who always carry their respective team)

I cant help but be excited for both zeta and dfm's roster next season, but specifically

Syouta
Gyen (?)
Meiy
Yatsuka(?)

hiroronn was expected to do well if it wasn't for the coaching staff shoving initiator role on him

I see, so the kanji is more like an insult(?) in this context

I had the same reactions too, but many jp pros hold him in high regard

Here is a clip of gon talking about gyen

38:06

GON also talked about him too at tokyo game show

He really is an amateur, it's just the " wtf " at the end almost rubbed me the wrong way lmao

Ryanguru are out from SG

I think ssees will eventually announce lft

Maybe I should justify my time wasted on vlr by doing a research here 😂

Lol I thought your excerpt says there's no such thing as equal skill matchmaking 😂

Dfm signing gyen makes me more nervous than possibly dfm themselves lmao.

I really wanted the guy to succeed but his track record only goes so far as word of mouth and ranked stats and clips

Syouta was never a sentinel main, prior to mainly playing duelist he was a controller main, meaning he will overlap with sugarzero. But I do agree putting syouta on sentinel role seems promising but I prefer zeta chooses a proper sentinel player , I can't trust carlao telling players to switch roles after what they did to hiroronn lmao.

I see, on paper it seems like a bad move tbh.o

Syouta's strength comes from playing duelist, changing him to purely sentinels means we're not optimizing syouta's advantages.

Are we going to let syouta suffer the same fate as hiroronn? Being handed the wrong roles outside his expertise for 1 year only to be discarded by zeta like nothing?

They don't just need a proven duelist, they need a proven duelist who can comm and shoot. Syouta and absol can do that.

But you're right aspas probably has a too high price tag on his back

Aspas to zeta rumours are borderline bullshit , who even spread this rumour in the first place? Terrible way to start my morning lol.
He can't comm in japanese, and no , changing your Game audio to japanese doesn't mean you can speak japanese.

If they're going to import aspas don't get syouta in pls, stop wasting another player's career like hiroronn's.

Mirdia and kuro are released from igzist academy

Idk how to feel abt this tbh.

I think it gives the players publicity but it risks being biased + ultimately staffs should be the one who decides

I think someone watches too much blue lock and thought how can they emulate the closest to it😂

Bro I'm telling you aspas won't gel with zeta, unless he's adapting the speed of light, he won't catch up with zeta's comms

He's not going to zeta bro

I thought the game is easy only to get humbled, ego can't accept it and wasted my precious 2 years while my grades degraded

In hindsight I shouldn't have touched this game at all lmao

Who in loud wants dgzin over Sato 😂.

Why aren't they trying out tier 2 br players?

The game is playing with my emotion lmao

Northeption announced their academy audition

https://x.com/NORTHEPTION/status/1840693027356217660?t=m8CJehsazrEmEDFbJ4aZTw&s=19

4 Teams of 5 and a coach will be pitted against each other to see which ones will be picked

It seems who gets in will depend on viewer's votes (?), can someone confirm this?

I think kiwi will get in, he's been followed by pros and he reached radiant at such a young age

Damn, i had a feeling koke will be dropped sooner or later, getting dropped after qualifying to main stage for the first time sucks

Because spg , a korean representative won ascension, this means that there will be a last chance qualifiers for teams in vck that failed to reach the main stage.

But it's still a long time before lcq are held

Why was he dropped from c9 again?

Lol I actually rated Nex1sphix the highest out of everyone.

Decoy is high up there too

Unfortunately no, but it definitely is much better than last year's

Art ( igl)
Akame( art's student)
Meiy
Jinboong
( currently on try out; gyen , Gwangboong, tenzou , etc)

Next year he won't be alone anymore 🔥

I saw Gwangboong too, I think he's the least likeliest out of all them.

Tenzou is safer option
Gyen is risky but high reward imo

Also GON just spread Gyen's name to casual fans in Tokyo game show

wtf has DFM offered

Everytime zeta plays official channel goes from 20k to 30-40k
Dfm from 20k to 30k

16 sponsors behind dfm's back

Signing actual good roster next year

Actually represented japan and not just sign 1 local player and call it a day.

Suzu started her career in Tier 2 jp , so she can return to tier 2 but definitely needs to improve on herself

At least they still signed retla egoist deryeon etc, their circumstances were different than GE's

GE are given a silver platter and they decide to waste them

Fr, what's the point of an SA org if they don't even sign SA players themselves.

Dfm might be the worst team in Tier 1 rn but at least they still do their job in representing the region they're supposed to.

Just change GE with another SA org willing to actually represent them

They are 50 million dollars rich iirc, dk where they get the money tho

Go away lol

Previous findings:

I will glaze and highlight japanese players who are barely or never noticed by the community or those who i think will make it big in the future.

Might be glazing might be cooking with these list

Zeta and especially dfm ( I still dont trust that bum carlao despite getting better players, and the decision to kick hiroronn will bite zeta back at some point) are going to improve drastically next season with the
t2 players they're signing

That's not how it works bro...

I dont see indonesian team or a korean team winning a cs major. Does this mean they are not into esports at all? The logic is kinda flawed

The better metrics is to see how the engagements and activity of that country or even combining both achievements and engagements as one singular metric.

Ignoring other games is kinda an arrogant viewpoint too imo.

Wdym japan not included? There's fgc. Ik people here don't consider mobile as " real esports" but Japan are quite dominant in some games too.
