Zeta academy

I know that reaal well lmao

I think academy teams are formed in japan because currently valorant is gaining steam in japan, so I don't expect this academy frenzy will stay for long but I'll enjoy them while I can.

Or better yet, get t2 teams to form their own academy team

I'm willing to wait 1 more year to see him fully ready for tier 1 tbh.

The problem is absol isn't what zeta and dfm needs rn (sad)

What losing against igzist does to a man 😂😂

That's my goat frfr

Dang bro absol really took that lost against igzist to heart 😂😂

That's my goat 😤

It's more likely he's replacing either rui or phantom, both of them have been underperforming.

If he's indeed going to fav youth istg some of these players are permanent academy players 💀 , not that I'm complaining tho

Even in regions where t2 isn't dying, no big 3rd party tournaments outside of off season really hurts the growth of the game.

I think japan will be in a much better position if there's more events being held. More money to make, more jobs for the players.

Gatorada retires

Han lft

Zeta vs dfm

Wait I'm trying to rack my brains here 😅.

Have I mentioned this before?😅

Placing Art that low is legit disrespectful

Arcobaleno disbands

Fair point

Compared to pros? Not really, sorry 😔

But immo3 is still very good regardless👍

Eureka (analyst) joins axelerate
Esco lft

Bro is great at many games lol

50% tbh
Sometimes just from their sentence you can tell someone is chinese or not imo

You mean where t2 teams get to have their own skin?

While I don't think they will fail, they definitely have a lot to catch up to. Which is why from start of vcl sa Ge alongside t2 teams shoud've formed academy teams. To put it in years:

e.g
2020 2021 2022 is so you can catchup to other region
2023 2024 realistically where your talents starts to show

Don't know the when exactly are you done catching up, heck you might have to play catchup game for a long time, but the point is there will be a point where the investement starts to pay off, the earlier you start the faster you will catch up

I clearly have no idea that Tennn can play tetris like that lol

You also needs to be aware of strinova, that game can easily attracts japanese players away from valorant

Should have done that fucking years ago instead of now when finally riot gave teams an incentive to do so.

If riot didn't tweak academy rules trust me rushindra won't even be thinking about making an academy team.

Oh no no no you're too naive bro, the only reason why GE gets the franchising slot in the first place is to cater to Indian audience.

Why? Because there are orgs that are miles better GE and none of them are picked Because none have an interest in investing into Indian scene(aside from indian orgs). GE have yet to do anything significant for the region.

While it's not wrong to dream big, rushindra needs to wake tf up and realize his position. He's there to help the Indian scene grow and he needs to do a better job on that.

Because league is riot's cash cow. Valorant is just their side project who wishes to be 1% like league.

Ngl I was expecting a masterclass clutch from Nex1sphix😔

Bro I think Nex1sphix will be cut from the team 💀

Show us pic of you kissing your sister 😁

Don't kys bro

NOOO NEX1SPHIX WHY DO YOU DO THAT 😭😭😭

1. It's not dead, talent is there
2. Fancy is always the better team in Vietnam, it's just they got upseted by rapid last split
3. Weakened full sense ( but still, losing against fancy isn't a great look)

Nvm

Fennel scarz and nth should stream their matches while riot is heavily watching, so they can at least get something out of playing on premier.

Wondering why nth is called nth ac, are they planning to build separate main roster from ac?

So we might be seeing
Main roster
Ac roster
Youth roster

Also how did they look during the stream? Did neth really become the coach yesterday?

It's normal for new region to do that I suppose.

Talents aren't there yet so you have to recycle players.

But eventually new talents will replace the old ones who can't keep up

People like you are the main reason why riot will never take their fans seriously

Idk why but I think BB will disband alongside rrx

They lost Satoshi to scarz, kenmohororo and 9lair are back in premier.

Fennel got knocked back to premier

Rrx probably knocked back too.

I think they will hold one more qualifier

Premier contender division looks more stacked than invite division lol

I guess scarz rn:
Satoshi
Anthem
Lob
Medusa
Yoshii
Finally, no more weird ass rosters 😂😂.

Neth somehow couldn't play in premier and it really shows with them losing against amoris vega.

Ain't no way so neth actually coached and hatty's the one playing in his stead 😂

宇宙HERO and mk really solidifies themselves as the real deal by dropping 27k and win against fennel 🔥

I expect amoris vega to do great
Also is amoris altr and amoris vega the same org but different branch?

Also nth ac started great

Welp sucks, but it's not the end of the world for him and "forcing" inazawa without any preparation is also harmful so let's see him dominate premier

I'd say it's phantom, btw hyped if Airy actually joins fav

That's a nice way of saying he's not getting any offers 😭. It's ok tho at least we'll get to see more from this guy. Is pain an academy player?

Let me also add that zeta got placed with fnatic and nrg ( prior to losing to blg)

Northeption got placed with drx and fpx ( tbf it's fpx with a sub but still )

I dont doubt Tennn now, but he had eye surgery 1 month prior to champions and its going to cost his performance 😭

B-b-b-but

Tennn had eye surgery and they're confused whether to switch Tennn for Xdll or keep him 😢
But 2022 champs was just a messy time for zeta imo

Stop being baited and ignore these threads geospliced 😭

It's off season and they're not winning anyways

I see, thx

Do they keep the academy team in secret or they listed them on website but never announced them?

Kinda like how Crest gaming actually have an academy team but never announced them at all so no one actually knows 😂

Deliberate or just bad marketing?

I see thx for the input..

There's a lot of academy teams in east Asia so I hope the results will show.
