Bro will this be the second time gaimin actually fail at TI grand finals 💀?

Are there any other games with vanguard level of system? ( I'm quite ignorant about it)

Rostermania happens regardless franchising exists or not.. there are many things to point out to riot as to why franchising sucks and this is not one of them.

Ejay and adrnking could not get their visa on time, so they had to play with high ping, but this problem should have never happened if scarz signed good local players instead so they had no one to blame but themselves( context: around this time teams like reject and varrel are disbanding while academy players started to show some results)

Both of them do have japanese citizenship, but let's be real both of them never touched japanese server and once scarz release both of them they will leave japan and not contribute to anything for jp server, at least koreans contribute to the server more than them.. they act more like import than some imports in vcj

Not really, in sp2 there were Murash and fennel who went without any koreans, and achieve 4th and 2nd respectively, it's clearly an improvement from earlier days. This split( split3) some teams opt for just 1 korean while there are 2 or 3 teams that go full japanese. While there are still the "standard" 2 koreans team, it's an improvement in my eyes( maybe I'm just too optimistic). I'm just gonna ignore the disgrace called scarz 😂

Japan actually creates the most academy teams in t2 worldwide so I'm quite optimistic that the number of imports will be lower next year or 2. Hell, I think the number will be lower on this split

Get a venue , get some scouts , get some good coaches, train them for 1 year and release them for the new generation. And the imports are gone within next year.

Safe to say that the whole DFM except meiy will go.

I think the office in Berlin are for convenience purposes? Idk tho, they seemed to sign more cis players to me I don't think the trajectory will go down.

Fuck, you got me there😂, unfortunately Navi probably needs to get cis players. Is valorant kinda dead in Ukraine?

Riot's franchising partner are chosen to represent their supposed subregion e.g dfm are supposed to represent japan properly , talon for Thailand prx for mysg etc. But most teams don't do that and riot doesn't enforce that, if you want to implement that rule you should have done that from the start. I hope dfm can represent japan PROPERLY tho.

Not enough I'm afraid that one mistake will cost him the final

Bro what is MK doing

MK almost fumbled lol

MKKKK

WAS THAT DESPICABLE ME!!??

Nef0r0 ( seems like a great guy to talk about the scene in general)
Anguibok ( her English might be quite hard to understand at times but her topics are not boring especially in off season)
Mortadelo ( great insights about emea and especially Spanish vcl)
C310 ( this guy has to be a scout for some org lol )
Poh1238( he actually engages with my megathread a lot)
Cloudberry

I'll add more later on

Pacific better have good quality production considering the fact that LANs are only going to be held for top4

But it doesn't make sense to put both japanese representatives onto one group...

I think that's legit the only thing they can do. You can't separate 3 SEA completely, while other region's are just 1 representative so it doesn't matter where you put them.

Also we could potentially see both jp representatives eliminated.

I've just seen the groups holy shit, idk who tf is in charge of the grouping but he should be fired for this.

Good point 😂

This is dfm, they're bringing the LJL mentality to valorant 💀

Question: Misaya made this tweet about tenten.

Does this say anything to you guys

I won't be surprised if Syouta goes to Zeta

Why do they release this roster?

I think this is genuinely huge part of the reason why japanese talents remain unknown or hidden compared to others.

If it wasn't for some ppl no one will realize that VCJ sp3 advanced phase has concluded 💀

Broo I thought hals got to dfm 😂, you got my hopes up for moment

What is that link ? Lol

They had the chance to pick hyunmin or DH , hell they had the chance to pick whoever in vcj that is korean

According to leaks and their most recent tweets , it should be. ( pls talk about this somewhere else)

Anthem is igl.

You mean for franchising? I dont think that's a good idea, orgs import because their region are not good enough YET. But that doesn't mean regions won't develop or catch up. The moment the region catch up , the import rule or the even the concept of imports themselves will drag the region's own development down sooner or later.

I have soft spots for dfm except when they're playing against zeta 😂😂

My tin foil hat alter ego says it's gonna be SG, because it make sense role wise SG lacked sentinels and duelist, so they can get hal ( sentinels) and KillAA as duelist

Bro me too, Xdll to DFM has to be guaranteed at this point.

I just think it's time for people to know vcj better 😂.

The problem is Meatpien ( the one who's out from striderz) was their igl and a controller. Unless whizz is changing roles which is kind of a waste, I find it kind of impossible for him to move to striderz.

I dont think removing yowamu is a great choice because he plays duelists very well for the team. Reject are probably going with this team.

https://tracker.gg/valorant/premier/standings?region=AP_JAPAN&division=21&page=1

Rn in vcj excluding those who haven't made it toain stage there's are 5 orgs that potentially will sign him. Northeption, SG, fennel and Striderz, reject ( assuming that the team in premier changes)

Tell korean orgs to pay better wages, ain't Japan's faults that korean orgs are poor 😂. I prefer jp orgs to develop their region's own talent too.

Lol that seems unfortunate.

He used to be part of father's back with kapi ( now on cgz) , if you ignore his occasional slip ups holy shit this guy basically was the team's lifeline.

Zeta
DFM
( both can be switched depending on who imports more)
The rest according to my feelings.

Because essentially it is a marketing move.

If we're talking about literal definition then it is no doubt.

But on average people's mind kamikaze refers to the plane thing.

Ah now that I think about it the definition really no longer applies to just ww2 anymore 😅

Usually it refers to Japanese suicide plane

Oh yeah, that's where my goat absol came from, it is kinda weird tho that their academy team lasted longer than the main team 😂

Yeah, at some point I thought maybe they wanted to produce academy players for cheap and sell them with a higher price, but tinder never announced moving to academy team.

It is a very convenient name template, I can glaze vcj whenever i want and no one will be mad or complain about it because I'm just living up to my name 😂😂.
