Official announcement about the new roster in 4 hours.

posted about a year ago

If there is a franchise-worthy player in the current JP scene, it would be Fennel's roster.
CLZ and Syouta firepower have great potential.
But FL is a cohesive team, just like TGRD in 2023. They are looking to advance to Ascension.
Syouta has made statements that appear to indicate that he has turned down DFM's offer.

The fundamental problem with the JP scene is that it relies too heavily on players from outside the region.
In particular, there are few Japanese players who can take on burdensome roles such as duelists.

ZETA's policy is to pick up Japanese talent from Tier 2 and train them in academy, both of which are appropriate and why they are supported in Japan.
It is not clear if the CR core roster can aim that high.
Of the options available to 0-10 teams, this would be better.
(Rather than signing an unstable player from outside the region, even though there are players of the same level in the region, as TLN is doing now...)

There is a website like VLR in Japan called Shitaraba,information on Japanese valorant is concentrated there.
Users are essentially anonymous, but are identified by variables.
Information on scrims and other information is also routinely posted. (Some of it is bullshit, though.)
Many users were initially skeptical about this leaked information.
However, fact that new members of CR and DFM have not yet been announced, even though show matches are coming up,
Also, the fact that CR's staff has recently been sighted custom games combined with DFM makes it much more credible.

I am basically a translator of leaks from the JP community, not an insider, but fine and welcome.

If anything, the problem would be the Melofovia coach. He has no accomplishments, no abilities, and is a complete nepotism hire.

posted about a year ago

JP community was outraged when DFM was chosen as the franchise team instead of CR, so if this is true, it may be somewhat sane. (CR members have experience competing in Master.)
2023 CR lost to Fennell and JDT, but won against Scars who advanced to Ascension Tournament.
It is basically a diff by players from outside the region. It is decent if you have to choose among Japanese players.

More details will be revealed soon as there will be show matches at the Japanese event starting in December.
Some credible information is now being released by the JP community.

meiy(Crazy racoon)
neth(Crazy racoon)
popogachi(Crazy racoon)
suggest
joxjo(Fennnel)
Ssees -6th man

Crazy racoon players missed out on advancing to Ascension in 2023, but they are fundamentally competent and are among the top performers in JP.
The person who published leak went on to say that Anthem had serious character issues that led to the team's demise.
Most of the Tier 2 JP teams have now completed their new player compositions.
Only one, CR, has not yet decided, and this is very likely.
He stated that it is essentially a merger of CR and DFM.
Anthem has participated in several scrims for Fennel, hinting at the move. (However, he has since participated scrim for DFM, so his future is unclear.)
Joxjo has participated several DFM scrims and is almost certainly considered a confirmed participant at this time.

note: CR coach NorthernLights was spotted today at DFM Scrim.
(DFM members basically use Alt accounts, so it is difficult to identify them unless they are JP users.)

Isn't he clearly underpowered among KR duelists?
Compared to Pacific's Tier 1 KR players, he clearly lacks tactical ideas...

I for one am looking forward to this match and can't wait!

According to JDT.
Valorant division was dissolved because "the cost of entering professional tournaments far exceeded the budget that could be raised by a smaller team."
JDT exported iZu to T1 with a second place finish at this year's VCJ.

There is some information that is now being rumored in JP community.
That is information Crazy Racoon and DFM will merge into one slot.
Most of Tier 2 teams that were active in VCJ have finalized their rosters, but CR is only one that is undecided. It is also rumored to be disbanding.
Most leading KR players have gone to other teams,Anthem is participating in a scrim to Tier 2.
The only confirmed DFM scrim is Joxjo.
A former CR player, ADE was vague about the future of CR.

Was BLG's high performance temporary?

posted about a year ago

xdlll has had private problems in the past and was temporarily removed from the team because of the accusations.
However, he will most likely not return to FL.

posted about a year ago

Anthem has recently been observed scrimming frequently with a team named Fennel in Japan (image found in DFM TakeJ Streaming).
FL is the closest JP team to promotion...
However, Anthem was too talented to end up at DFM...so well, maybe it's better than being in DFM.

This credible leak by Japanese community.
Not only this, but images of the same member composition have been dropped on the JP community before.

Shown image to the right are Fennel CLZ and Anthem Alt account.
left is the Alt account of a Japanese player named SSeeS. (The bottom one is Suggest.)

SSeeS is highly accomplished Japanese on PUBG pro scene.
In Valorant, however, his controller player to extent that he could not even win in challenger.
He will be 28 next year. He is not at the level of competence to be hired.
But there are reasons other than ability for him to be employed.
He was a DFM player before it became league team.
And he was a teammate of Coach melofovia during his PUBG days.
JP community expects nothing from DFM, but is terrified of the personnel that is currently happening within DFM,
He is about to advance from 0-13 to 0-26...

At LoL Worlds 2023, only one Korean team made it to best four.
At OW Worldcup, Korean team did not even reach medals, finishing in fourth place.
The momentum in China and Middle East is tremendous, but is the situation in Korea not better?
Valorant scene in Korea is left to DRX, but their situation is not better than last year ...

Are they ok? I am at the venue right now and am worried about their performance ...

Are they weaker than Tier 2 PORTUGAL?

Dep speaks highly of Yuran, but honestly, even the JP community does not know him well or has doubts about his ability.
He is from ZETA Academy, and although "yatsuka" and "Caedye" are known as highly capable players within ZETA Academy,
Yuran is the only one who has cleared the age stipulation, so we do not have such high expectations for him.

How much of an upgrade can I expect from a Carlão coach?
It was clear that the XQ coaches so far have not kept up with the meta understanding and are marginal.

Give up on the 2024 season.

posted about a year ago

The Japanese fan community is confused by the decision to add Carlao to ZETA Divison for the 2024 season.
This is because ZETA had so far selected all of its players and coaches from JP.
And the JP community knows very little about his achievements and abilities.
(They may know about the performance of FUR players, but not their coach).
Unlike coaches like onur,bzka,fRod who are also known by JP, he is not very well known.
In fact, what kind of potential does Carlão have?

If you believe Squirreliest who first leaked yay's APAC transfer.
Marved-Crashies-Victor core, and IGL Steller participation is also a certainty.

So who is the best choice for the remaining one?
Leaf, Demon1, and N4RRATE seem to be on the short list.

He was a ZETA academy player, but removed the word "academy" from his X profile when the ZETA roster was updated.
He had been participating in ZETA scrims for some time, and rumors were circulating that he would become an official member of ZETA as the new Smoke.

https://www.vlr.gg/player/10588/hiroronn
HIRORON is an 18 year old sentinel who is currently very talented in the country.
He moved to Fennel from ZETA Academy and has been putting out LFTs.
There has been a big push in the community for some time to get him to join ZETA, and he probably has no other choice if he wants to keep his 5JP.

It will be fun for former FPX fans.
However, I am concerned about the news that Zyppan is looking for a new team offer.
Who will replace him in his absence?

posted about a year ago

Unfortunately,
Art remarked during Stream that his own personality makes him a very Toxic person in ranked matches and in competition matches.
He's one of the top Japanese players, but that's probably why he said he failed all his tryouts for the team he wanted.
JDT eventually disbanded the team because some players refused to team up with him.

posted about a year ago

laz said on his own stream,

"Tryouts have begun, and there will definitely be changes to the 2024 lineup, and to be honest, I don't even know if I'll stay.''
However, it was only a possibility, and Laz himself did not intend to quit ZETA at all.

The prediction JP community is that the roster change would be Crow or ten.
But what would be a surprise change?
I suspect SugarZero as a possibility.
