wolfen might be better off as an initiator or sentinel rather than duelist ngl

also, UCc? more like UNc because he is not having the best time playing.

wait a minute

must be the "what did victor throw on stage? the game" comment.

Ace was FAR better than UCc. Dk why KBG dropped him.

UCc playing like an unc ngl.

ik dem ones.

one of my friends got a 100% in grade 11 physics and an 90% in grade 12.

he's struggling to put up a GPA above 2.5 rn, but he's working through it.

it'll get better, trust.

Nah, screw the nostalgia factor, get some new bloods in.

Any avid DACH watchers tell me why he plays Phoenix in almost every map?

Iirc, he made his name from playing Raze before Ellement got signed, so is BennY playing Phoenix just to fill in the 2nd duelist role?

TU? I think?

The org picked up the Falcons players just before Ascension.

KOI starki when?

Yet another solid Polish smokes player

EMPEROR SMOGGY

TOP 3 CONTROLLER IN THE WORLD.

shouldn’t be a hot take. he’s been far better than kk, though only for this year.

he’s currently the best CN player, and a top 3 controller in Champs. switching to smokes did wonders for him.

emperor smoggy ftw.

hmm

TENNN buddy……

Who’s an uncle?

Aside from Link Click and Stein’s Gate, watched everything else from ur list.

Already read the mangas for Monster and Black Lagoon

Something close to realistic and exciting.

Shows like:
Monster
Black Lagoon
Jormungandr
91 Days
Samurai Champloo
Michiko and Hatchin

you better if you don't want Gen.G, FNC, or PRX in your group

he beat the traffic cone allegations

maybe it wasn't 100T.

Aside from the battle pass, it was the origin vandal 💀

After watching this game, i can confidently say that the ZETA GC team should teach the main team how to play Icebox.

korea - controllers
japan - duelists
thailand - controllers
china - duelists
turkey - sentinels
russia - sentinels
sweden - initiators
canada - controllers
brazil - duelists
US - initiators

ill keep adding from the comments

And Mini lost to ZETA Division. And Chet lost to MIBR last year. And Termi can’t take timeouts.

These results will happen, but it doesn’t matter because these coaches already have a good career and reputation.

Potter is just the same.

Akame can play literally anything and even IGL.

He’s NOT replacing iZu.

Nvm FENNEL are back

I knew abyss is a VERY attacker sided map. It’s nearly impossible to hold on defense because of how exploitable the angles are.

What happened to the FENNEL i knew and loved?

Hot take: TENNN has been a fragger but his decision making is still poor. CLZ has the igl aim debuff too.

what even is his sens for him to hit shots like that

duelist: stew
flex: Akame
controller: iZu
sentinel: free1ng
initiator: stax

coach: noppo

1. Unlucky.

2. Honestly, i feel like Yuran and Hiroronn have been thrown to the wolves too early. Maybe they could stay and grow a bit more as subs, but not outright discarded. That being said, I’ve said it before: Dep should’ve been on flex at the beginning of the season and ZETA could’ve gotten someone else on duelist, i.e., Meiy.

3. Unlucky. Laz has always been one of my favourite players, even during the ABSOLUTE JUPITER days. He is the face of Japanese Valorant, and put the region on the map with his insane performances on Chamber. I wish him luck on his future endeavors.

4. Absol is good, very good. I do wonder why ZETA seems to rate him higher than SyouTa, who has been popping lately even though FENNEL is having a bad split. Also, i wonder why SyouTa has been having doubts about his career.

5. Yatsuka has been great for RIDDLE. However, i do feel that Derialy is a better alternative, if he wants to play as he is taking a break from playing this split.

6. Agreeable, but Xdll is the only best option. Caedye has been good, but, yes, it is still a bit early for him. They can get muto from REJECT as an alternative, but he has been very inconsistent. If ZETA are able to, they should try for Anthem next season.

7/8. As painful as it sounds, I think ZETA should bite the bullet and go for imports. They need a new approach to the game, something new to the table. Yes, they are known for housing homegrown talent, but their structure and development has been ABYSMAL. That being said, Yotaa, Kr1stal, and Yoshii are all great options. They can even branch out and get Koreans like Jinboong, Akame, Wolverine, margaret, DH, HYUNMIN, Francis. There’s a LOT of talent out there and if they want to be the best team, ZETA needs to pick them up, as unfortunate as it sounds for the Japanese scene. Trust me, as a longtime VCJ fan, i feel incredibly conflicted.

9. Fadezis is a great coaching option. For sure.

10. I don’t understand how Carlão failed. He was actually decent on FURIA as they made it to champs and had some good performances. A lot of people thought that he would be a fantastic signing but evidently not.

My “dream” roster next season:

Duelist: Absol/Aace/SyouTa
Controller: SugarZero
Sentinel: Yatsuka/Derialy
Initiator: Xdll/Anthem
Flex: Dep

Aace from RIDDLE is a DEMON. He has one of the best raw aim in Challengers currently, and he has experience on duelist.

Wait Z3RO’s been going crazy lately.

27 last game, now 34 today

He’s aight.

Tried his best for sure.

Great recovery from 9-9 where he was 3-9 to 10-12 now.

ZETA vs Crazy Raccoon Lite.

Guess who always won?

It will be just like any other.

2-1 ZETA.
