I think when it comes to ascension riot pacific will handle the funding

I LOVE YOU AACE

Oh no I'm not feeling good

WAIT BROTHER, there's another half and 2 more potential maps to play, don't be hasty

Bro riddle are looking tense rn

Thank god lol

If we lose then so be it, there's lower bracket and next year in the worst case scenario

NO MORE JINXING, RIDDLE ALL THE WAY 🔥🔥🔥

NO MORE JINXING, RIDDLE ALL THE WAY 🔥🔥🔥

Dep ( flex)
sugarzero smokes
clz igl
syouta ( duelist)
Yatsuka( sentinels)

Why tf did they get rid of hiroronn

-carlao + vorz + euler

Ok , thx 👍

Why do some immortal 3 players will be matched up against ascendant players whilst immortal 2 players will be matched up against radiant?

Appreciate the dedication bro, tomorrow is your day to celebrate 🔥

I should learn his ways and do that to riddle 🔥😂💀

Ok mb, it's poor wage, well known orgs not joining , no views.

Which is why I say gon joining is quite a stretch, clz is kinda guaranteed tho unless zeta somehow becomes stupid. Tennn is legit streaming minecraft just like gon 😂, I think this time he's streaming for good.

So it should be clz and syouta, idk who the next one is, maybe yatsuka?? They seemed to lacked a sentinel main

I wonder how tall he is

I think so too lol, also the fact that fennel doesn't get invited to redbull home ground means the teams will change drastically.

Finally, I can rest easy lmao, but I'm concerned about syouta and especially gon. I can see dep flexing , but sugrazero switching roles for gon seems like a stretch.

Also didn't gon mention on stream that he will stay in fennel or I'm mistranslating things

"Nature of competition"
Easy for you to say that when your region have fps history across all Games, japan barely has any , apex is the only one that's notable enough and it didn't generate enough momentum to propel the scene.

I know what you're thinking about tier 2 too, if we play it your way trust me japan won't be where they are rn and we are not even close to a good condition yet. Japan needs a boost to catch up to other regions , no one likes to be called shit for 4 years straight. We need development and tier 2 is the only way to go when your tier 1 team have an org called dfm.

The only boost that can propel japan to that heights right now is academy teams. Orgs are willing to spend money and better just spend them on future players rather than on some imports who in the long run will not contribute to the scene. ( doing both works too)

Your region has it very easy when your tier 1 and tier 2 teams are thriving, your scene is developed enough to generate talent regardless of anything. Japan's tier1 are never there and this year went through the worst season yet. Japan needs a good foundation to rely on and that is tier 2 , we can't be praying for another miracle like meiy to come out, we need consistency. A good tier 2 is what will and always are the basis of a good tier 1.

No one is pushing for childhood academy teams, people who support this are crazy.

Tldr; your region has it all and we have just a little. You are talking through the lense of your region, while I'm talking through mine.

If spg does indeed lose this I don't think they are that bad, they just need more time.

Rome wasn't build in a day you know.

I kinda get why seoldam never went to tier1 except that time with dfm(he kinda dug his own grave before playing with dfm) , but joxjo confuses me even more.

I srsly hope riddle doesn't fumble

Update: Sieg joins delight as coach

They clear everyone in terms of talent pool but their problems are starting to show when you look at the region from outside

I think japan is starting to change, imports especially koreans are decreasing this split. Teams that regularly getting Russians and koreans like fav and Blue bees are going full japanese , some teams opts for 1 korean like Delight and BC swell, while others still held out.

This can happen because players from t2 orgs academy teams are starting to show up. I think if orgs doesn't stop in investing in academy team we can get even lesser imports next year.

I mean they are always 1 Minute ahead for years now, I'm just surprised that no one ever mentioned it 😅

As expected of my goated region 🛐🛐

Mutually lft

Finally someone gets it 😂

It's not that korean players are leaving vcj , it's more of notable korean players are leaving vcj, now the korean players are unknown players like flora, ady and jaxe etc.

But it is indeed decreasing.

Also if T1 keeps up with this it might be good in the short run, but this is bad for the long run, the concept of academy team is you nurture young players with potential turning them into a good player ready to replace the existing team.

But it's bad for the scene if they keep up with this behavior

But can you call this an academy team tho? This roster is basically just another tier 2 roster.

T1 is bending the rules just like scarz did which is one of my concerns with this "academy team" rules

That's kinda scummy imma be honest , none of these players except exa are academy , all of them basically played in vcj for a long time alr😂

Nvm I like this roster now 😂

Ngl I dont like this roster,

Most of these players SHOULD NOT BE in an academy team when they should have nurtured young players instead of going for veterans.

T1 is not investing into the scene with this

DH started to decline the moment he gave hyunmin the duelist role, occasionally he still frags and cam reach high peaks, but it's definitely not as consistent as when he's on duelist

Tenten no longer looked like his nth days, and FAV looked better with Minty playing duelist.

Idk abt exa

True, but 21 is not an age where you're going to an academy roster, especially tenten moothie and gangpin when they've been playing in VCJ for quite some time now

Wtf is this lol, is this the oldest academy roster by average 😂

None of these players are academy players

Man I really thought fennel would complete the lower bracket run😭.

I hope riddle can prove me wrong tho

I'll come out and say this first, riddle zeta ac core's inexperience will finally catch up to them in this ascension.

Nah dawg this the coaching staffs and the whole roster are allergic to local japanese players ( I can't believe I had to underline the word LOCAL, but this is scarz we're talking about)

Mods is it possible to combine both of them?they are the same person.

They better think about how to get ejay and adrnking to japan first because they are not going to qualify to phase 3 let alone thinking about 2025 😂

Riddle

Timestamp

Wait it's not mandarin? LPL teams with korean commed with mandarin ( probably) so I was under the same impression

My dumbass brain says freeing stays, Udotan is good but he's replaceable, meanwhile it's hard to find someone like freeing.

(ツ)
We should make a thread out of this lol

Tf is bro talking about😂

I'm not smart bro, my name says it all 😭😂

I think most will agree that it's

1. SPG
2. Full sense
3. The rest meaning idk 😂😂
