He was IGLing when he was in CGZ

Never thought I'd get this fired up in an off season match. GG to both teams

I would say DFM has more clout because of LoL, otherwise, Reject is just Mother3 carry and FENNEL is mittiii carry

I was more or less referencing how 2024 NRG, a superteam, fumbled amidst all the hype.

Let's hope they don't do a 2024 NRG !!!

They will do better this year :pray:

Riddle is still not mature yet I guess. So many throws

I think the time between Split 2 and Split 3 is too short to obtain proper Free Agents.

bru

Bring back L0B to FAV ???

CGZ New Roster:
Banger, Brofeld, Kapi, sakurai, KEN

bazz and minty are still playing for FAV gaming (for now.)

Not just about Nth, I think VCJ is already highly competitive to where these teams aren't willing to take so-called "hidden talents". Also, Japan doesn't host a lot of minor tournaments like Knights Monthly/Weekly where these newbies can show their talent.

Yeah, my logic was kinda off there. I just hope those players find a bigger opportunity if possible.

There's way more hidden talents like muto, hals, and sakurai (kinda fell off recently but)

ok but what about thiefy

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Split 3 exists to fill the 7-month off-season before, right?

Is Split 3 useful if 3 actual pro teams disbanded right before it started? (Reject, Northeption, Varrel)

I'd say popogachi still has a chance to prove himself in the franchise league. He only played like 1 match with DFM after all. The problem with TENNN is that he's been underperforming after his eye injury and overall something is missing from him that doesn't quite make him a good player.

Agreed. One thing I wish Riot did tho is to have Play-ins for Ascension Pacific too. So sad seeing teams like Fennel and MiTH not really having a chance after performing well in Split 1

Hour and a half tech pause came in clutch I guess

Moist is SHIT after thief left

Thiefy and Sakurai

As if that player didn't totally disrespect their opponents. But in the case of mittii it was just full on racist

ZETA lost their chance to become even better after Reykjavik, and now, after all that time and the roster changes, there is no way of getting it back

The role changes too. The coaches finally noticed that putting hiroron on initiator was a bad idea. Way too late though

Instead of Brazilian tall man, Laz for coach might be an interesting change. He is my goat but let's be clear... Laz is kind of old... However, his deep understanding in many roles may be an actual plus—just a thought.

Get a duelist. I feel like Dep is getting tired of playing duelist. He would be an amazing flex player for sure.

Give me my goat back :sob:

popogachi has a higher rating on Sova than Xdll. Already a HUGE upgrade

Get popogachi and ez win i swear

I believe the underlying issue with ZETA is how immature hiroron and yuran are in terms of skill. Yuran is immediately put into Tier 1 after academy and hiroron is playing a role he never specialized on. (Not saying this is the only reason why ZETA is bad)

ez 16000

Doesn't matter, a lot of Japanese people hate moving outside the country.

CLZ

i guess none of the good japanese players want to live in Korea loL!!!!

Not that hiroronn is a bad player, but having played Sentinel for most of his career and immediately switching to initiator, especially in the tier 1 scene is tremendously difficult. (He is very shit on kayo)

TENNN > hiroronn at this point

Ain't no way they thought this Tempura guy was a good pickup.

マクロ面修正したら一二勝できる感じ

Lazさんがセンター分けになってるのも結構違和感感じる

Why is he a bob cut they straight up violated him

They replaced the fraudulent coaches, but they lost a good IGL and a good flex player NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Reject is also quite the competitor on paper. We'll see though.

Kind of off-topic but does anyone know who's the 5th for Reject?

Bakemonogatari

In conclusion, they both suck ass in defense

I don't think HSK would be that bad. The main problem is Melotrollia

They have a way better roster than I expected. Now kick those fraud coaches. I swear.

You know what they say, "99% of gamblers quit before winning big". That's how I got my 19 consecutive losses.

Bro is still an academy player, let him gain the experience that he needs.
