You should refer to their website
https://zetadivision.com/team/valorant-academy.

Their exact roster moves are recorded on their history section

Which is why I edited on #6 that since I realized that they are the only ones who can possibly outbid korean orgs.
I want to see what northeption will do as well since their coach, tinder, never left the team.

Not all japanese orgs have the same buying power I think, aside from orgs like fennel and sengoku, other orgs are kinda unknown or small.

Where was it streamed? Also I think they'll develop eventually.

I think usually in vcj the incumbent player will announce his leave first then the new player will announce his stay, based on that pattern I don't see anyone who announced his leave and even if they do the roles don't match, so I don't think it will be in vcj.( tbh I think this pattern is in every region 😂)

I've just realized that sengoku and fennel are candidates.

But then killaa just announced that he just signed a contract so my guess is not that accurate tbh😅

Update:

DH has signed a contract . Thanks c310
killaa has signed a contract, finally I can see this guy in a team 😭.

Bro, japan is still better than majority.

There are people like C310 who knows more than I do like holy shit the players he observes are even more obscure than mine. But his choices are great nonetheless.

I'm truly flattered that you really think I am, but I'm not, maybe one day I'll become one 👍

I'm sure the 2 koreans in "standard" vcj teams also comm in korean when only 2 of them are left alive.

This and also why is everyone pretending that they beat Mxs or oxg? They beat TSM a team that no one thought will qualify and looking like they fluked their way in ascension playoff qualifier.

It's not Vietnamese but idk why if you search it on google it refers to ho chi minh 💀

I don't think they have any affiliation with tencent.

Tbf it's easier to organize this kind of thing in China and they have the means to do so whereas I don't know whether emea can do that.

Update: fqm0us is out from FAV Academy
Apparently FAV AC is looking for a new player.

Are the orgs in OCE really that broke?

weeb+ underrated region + their investments are not being met with praises which is unfair because other regions have been silent + the region has better depth than most people think

Fun fact :

1. Zeta Division's academy team are currently on the 2nd iteration with 17 players combined(2023 + 2024). They are looking for 2025 iteration as of their announcement
2. Zeta never backed down on academy teams the moment they initiated back in 2023
3. DFM is going to start an academy team soon.
4. Currently Japan as a region are guaranteed 7 academy teams by T2 (CGZ, NTH, FAV, SCARZ, IGZ) and T1 orgs (ZETA and DFM) making them the country with the most academy teams in valorant

I have no idea why all the facts revolve around academy teams, but I really can't hold my urges to say it everytime there's an opportunity 😂😂

5. ( I think) the most aces in one map goes to NTH thiefy vs scarz

I was about to post a thread about why LAN isn't always a good thing lol

Is the problem being brought up on vlr ? Because I think this is what you have in mind, that might be me lol.

https://www.vlr.gg/401336/i-change-my-mind-about-franchising

It's not as if riot is actively discouraging investments by t2 orgs , it's just the nature of franchising automatically caps the amount of investments because orgs know that only 25 - 30 % will end up on franchising anyways whereas without franchising you will see the fruits of franchising better .

But I do think that overall investments by tier 2 orgs are great in the long run for T2 themselves, look at the japanese players on reject rosters , fennel , riddle and absol. Many of them at some point were on an academy teams.

Is asking wrong? I don't see anything he said that deserves scrutiny

Is this recently or?

Sugarzero / Aace
Dep(flex+duelist)
Meiy
Hiroronn
Xdll
Coach Vorz or Euler

Or " bet on the future" pack
Hiroronn
Art
Hatto
Lefiedot
Honeybunny

Coach vorz or Kreamer

It's probably because emea is the least watched t2 out there+ high cost ( it's europe) + scattered regions+ saving money + riot being stupid etc

Sato is a Brazilian player of japanese descent

It happened many times to streamers that I watched to , I dont think cryo really bought views

After this fnc proceeds to lose 13 0 because their mental already down the drain

Lol it definitely is kinda funny to see boaster being there.

Oh the 2 British team match I believe , fun fact boaster was in this match

Lol bet both teams are talking it out on the bathroom 😂

Is this the first in cs history 😂😂?

Bodyy's lurk won them that round lol.

It kinda is, when there is a joke u finally get it felt good lol, also I don't think japanese is a niche language lol unless my definition is kinda off.

你好，加拿大天气好不好？

https://www.vlr.gg/379835/sayaplayer-announces-restricted-free-agency

Sry , but internet explorer moment 😅

I'm not so sure about iZu and DH on the same team, DH really looked lackluster the moment he gave hyunmin duelist role, but sometimes he still could show some numbers tho.

The latter, definitely not recommending it lol, because eventually you will have to translate it and sometimes you will get the whole meaning wrong, not to mention it is incredibly slow and sometimes leads to nothing.

As if recent I'm starting to lean on the former tho as I'm trying to pick up japanese as my 4th language

They are actually crazy for missing out on VCJ's talents, also why did they miss out on freeing 😅

Lol shit, I actually took a short class and memorized the hiragana and katakana, the rest I just learned it through osmosis by watching vtubers 😅.

I see, jakarta?

Bro typing in japanese is hard and I'm typing which whatever measly knowledge(that might not even be accurate)that I have about japanese 😂😭

Pls don't call me out lol I'm only repping the flag till ascension ends😅

え?お前きゆりさんじゃないけど😂😅

Ok all this time I thought you're chinese lol

彼は本物です、信じるだから👍

an cua ho bo?
I barely use it on conversations but I guess this is how you say them

This and Nasr (2nd closest)
https://www.vlr.gg/team/1470/nasr-esports

If it is Doombros, Sunday isn't gonna be pretty.

This kind of BS will not bring any viewerships to T2 or making the scene sustainable if they don't fix this shit in the future, just an FYI to riot.

Sry the question is supposed to be rhethorical and sarcastic towards scarz, I kinda know the answer alr 😅. Also many upcoming talents also come from academy teams, except few like Killaa and Yutaa

If he keep up his performance he will be the next meiy, I bet my money ( figuratively ) on Yowamu and BC SWELL this guy just diffed them, im finally excited for VCJ'S future, makes me wonder why scarz never promoted him to main roster.
