Rumours and Speculations:
Hyunmin to prx(?)
Yotaa to Gentle mates (source : me)
T1 will sign Akame
Akame might go to dfm
Xdll might go to dfm
RC coaching staffs might leave
Scarz roster won't hold ( mfs on scarz already posting farewell type of tweet) ( Confirmed)
~~Muto will leave reject ~~(confirmed)
Laz retires 😭 o7 (confirmed)
Tonbo is out from murash ( confirmed to be false)
Neth retires
Fadezis leaving(or I'm misunderstanding things; source: https://x.com/FDZSVLR/status/1814563015892914648?t=lVt0ujuJyhgjTTguyCrqNA&s=19) (confirmed)
Tenten and akame joins T1( they are trialing for T1)
Akame goes to DFM??

Kayle also "trialed" for igzist in premier matches(but said nothing so I put this here)

( source: me 🤣) igzist will sign popogachi and frxeez(academy player)

Dfm will sign akame LOB and Jinboong
Dfm Art?

T1 Akame(?) 🧐

Coaching staffs for RC may also be out but I'm not sure about this info.

Update: L0B is out from Varrel
https://x.com/LOB__LOB/status/1812065786263158810

All the Korean imports getting merked 💀💀💀
Wasn’t tenten canceled or smth btw

only mitoma can save jp

Sry new update( this is my mistake should've seen what xnfri posted):
Xnfri is out too. That means everyone is out and varrel is no more.

https://x.com/xnfri_/status/1811689059552801077?t=BokurVCTuQ0xl4chI09ylg&s=19

Isnt everyone on VL released? They quit? or completely rebuild

Any info about SyouTa ?

Xnfri out nooooooo!

don't care but what does this mean for DFM?

Dude I’m so sad about Reject imploding

They were my favorite team to watch in split 1 and seeing them literally inverting their win record is painful

Praying on the BRIAN bounce back 🙏

Any info about Scaz?

Ok mfs on scarz tweeting as if this team will disband wtf

idk if this means much since it was on an alt but it seems like muto may also be leaving

Update:
Sieg ( coach and analyst) left Zeta
Ate ( coach) left murash?? I thought only shoushi coached murash.

Hyunmin to t1 would be fucking insane. That kid has the potential to be the best itw like Oxy

Update : (rumour) Laz is retiring 😭o7

At the same time I'm guessing Hiroronn stays in zeta ( could be wrong tho)

To be honest ZETA and DFM need import.

zeta should get joxjo if riddle don't make ascension

Laz is retiring????
Noooooooo 😭😭😭

KoreKore (popular JP dramatuber) is currently accusing MRG Tonbo of sexual assault against a minor

https://x.com/Tonbocub/status/1813603248785510678
https://x.com/million4771/status/1813607916571901981

It is said to have happened 3 - 4 years ago back when Tonbo was in CR/FL , but MRG might kick him out due to the nature of this issue (if it happens to be true)

Update: The rumours (muto's tweet) are true, Muto and Hals leave reject meaning reject needs to start over vcj

Nvm this info isn't valid

laz should play with another team except jp teams

it's just my assumption but I have a huge feeling that neth will also retire :( he actually said it when they lost in VCL last year (like a vague answer whether he would still play professionally or not, because of his age) but with Laz's retirement, I kinda can sense it

I'm not sure now tbh

Speculation: fadezis(scarz's coach) posted this tweet 1 day ago.

https://x.com/FDZSVLR/status/1814563015892914648?t=lVt0ujuJyhgjTTguyCrqNA&s=19

Does this mean he's leaving? Or he's just returning to Russia?

Update : tempura and Sarah( interpreter)is out from Northeption

Speculation ( personal): I think esperanza is leaving northeption ,because sarah( nth's interpreter) left, does esperanza speak Japanese at all ?
Edit: Nvm I'm drunk af , Sarah's not on esperanza's comms in-game 😭🤣

Update : wolverine is out from Northeption ( ngl I saw this coming miles away)

Wait I thought tonbo got protected by there owner no?

Update: Somehow Ate( coach) moved to FENNEL 🤣

Context : he was just restricted FA by Murash 1 week ago

Laz video sounded really like he was retiring or maybe he become a coach for Zeta. But why Neth??

There was a leak from an insider in the Korean community today that two people, Akame and tenten, took the T1 scrim test. I'm not sure, and there's no evidence, but I think you can think of it as a rumor
For now, one thing is for sure, TenTen has installed T1 numbers in his Solo Rank account.

Update : I shouldn't have kept this from the start but,

Popogachi joins igzist just for premiers ( can we call this trials)

Kayle also "trialed" for igzist in premier matches

about Scarz
This is speculation, but there is a possibility that tixx and yotaa are still in SZ. It seems yotaa is still staying in Japan, and tixx is also making such posts.
（but tixx has already left Japan and returned home to rest, so it's still unclear what will happen next.）

https://x.com/tixxVAL/status/1814211296801529883

Fadezis and lumo are unlikely to remain on SZ.

https://x.com/lumoxgod/status/1814602559698706581
(This post might simply indicate the possibility of leaving Japan during the off-season, but I didn't interpret it that way)
　
I honestly have no information about Tenzou. He seemed quite fond of playing with Fadezis, but it's true that communication was sometimes an issue. Now that Fadezis has left, there might not be much reason for him to remain committed to playing with SZ.

ADD
In my opinion, Tonbo will remain on MRG
As for ZETA, I can't speculate at all, but I can assert that hiroron will definitely stay.

wait tf

Akame is trialing for T1??

Kayle also "trialed" for igzist in premier matches

dawg that's gotta be the worst possible move lmao

How old is Laz, him retiring sucksss

Update : ( rumour )
Syouta would leave fennel
https://x.com/SyouTa_fps?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Thank you itabashi_JX for the input

Need confirmation:
Jp users or anyone knowledgeable, I opened noez foxx's website and found out there's no barce mentioned in their valorant team. I know Fisker , and TENSAI left NFX but I didn't know barce left too, is this true?

So carpe will stay in T1?

Neth and Laz :(((((((((((

Update: This has to be the roster moves of all time Ate went from Murash to Rental FA to Fennel and then back to FA with Murash. (or I'm just misunderstanding things)

UPDATE: ZETA FINALLY MAKES A MOVE
Tennn goes back to streaming(zeta) after playing for fennel .
Crow moves from playing coach to streamer
Junior moves from assistant coach to coach for zeta academy
Shoushi no longer coaches murash
Varrel players' contract has expired along with coaches as well

Meiy prolongs his contract till 2027

Update : Wolverine and Esperanza is out from northeption. ( a bit unrelated , I think I saw this coming the moment their translator announced her leave)

Update : ryoma joins BC SWELL as performance coach

https://x.com/BC_SWELL/status/1818587407857688788?t=tdNI1QLUwWThcTxaK_JnFw&s=19

Update : liquidpedia isn't doing it's job properly 😡

Allow has left igzist
Sengoku is looking for analyst and coaches . ( ain't no way art leaves sengoku right?😅)
Suggest lft ( this is my mistake tbh)
Had to dig some twitter or valorant4jp(reliable af tbh) to get this info

Update :
DH and Hyunmin left cgz
Tenten's contract with fav has expired

I think the Korean exodus has begun 😅 or this is just a reshuffle

Update: fadezis(coach) , Tixx , Lumo and nolozy (analyst) leave scarz

Update: Sengoku released Jinboong and Gwangboong (both lft now)

Update : kinda late but
CGZ : flax becomes streamer
NTH: Pepper retires
FAV : Minty and Bazz leave FAV
MRG : Reo joins as assistant coach

Update: Thiefy got loaned to Noez foxx while blackwiz and esperanza joined ( not loaned) Noez Foxx

Maybe, just maybe, Thiefy can finally shine 🙏

Can noez foxx even play in sp3? premier is basically over 😅

Update: Barce left Noez foxx ( in hindsight I kinda knew this is the case the moment his name isn't listed on Noez's website but there's no announcement made)

Fennel : Ate (coach) got into fennel. Ate out from fennel

wtf? did bros regret it inmediately or you miswrote it?

Update : HaReeee retires

Finally I'm faster than liquidpedia 😭😭

(Opinion )

Reject will be making roster moves soon. They disbanded but the coaches still remained. Meaning they're still interested competing in sp3.

Varrel already disbanded and they're not interested in competing at sp3 . Who will replace varrel?

Northeption basically disbanded with HaReeee retiring , either they back off from valorant by kicking tinder out or they form a new roster.

I dont like the direction scarz is going but they are probably getting importing English speaking players again .

Basically 4 of these pros have no roster at all while matches start next week. Either they're getting new roster or someone will replace them

some mf said tennn syota and clz on zeta and xdll and akame on dfm. is this realistic or just a bait?

Opinion : I'm certain Igzist will sign popogachi alongside Frxeez , frxeez is an academy player from igzist, and this guy might save igzist ( glazing) .

I'm certain because the igzist finished premier Playoffs with both of them. And igzist announced that they are looming for new academy player.

https://x.com/IGZIST_GG/status/1823255637314433062?t=XiN87tmam16m_E-t2ETNZw&s=19

You don't make this kind of statement unless a roster move is imminent or you intend to release your current academy roster.

EJAY and adrnking signed to SCARZ
https://x.com/SCARZ5/status/1824733371907686544

Igizist hired coaches and analysts :
Taki ( head coach )
Eroc ( assistant coach)
Gained ( analyst)
Mahato ( analyst)

Wonder why they haven't announced popogachi and frxeez yet.

Where is BcJ on this list?

What the hell is fav doing? Like the match will start in 90 mnt but there has been no announcement by them 😭.

Update: 9lair , Namikaze , satoshi ( from scarz academy) goes to Blue Bees as players
mocchan joins blue bees as analyst

ngl , I know that this will happen from premier matches

hoping DFM gets some guys to help Meiy out

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

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

Update: quite late but Northeption announced building an academy roster

Did nth actually found a more profitable business planning? Are they becoming the Porto FC of VCJ 😂?

Also should I make another megathread about academy roster in VCJ because there ate surprisingly lots of academy roster here compared other regions , also I might include players who are never in T2 but definitely had a good number alongside scademy teams.

Flora officials joins Delight

https://x.com/crest_gaming/status/1826556493573095673
looks like crest gaming zest has a plan to build there own team
whats up with all those team building academy team?

Update: Huh ?? Did I read it wrong ? Why are Delight changing their coach? The coach is now an active player in the roster?
Lol now I kinda understand what happened. Mello ( their coach) is LFT

Scarz are looking for Assistant coach and academy coach. Maybe after Satoshi frag the fuck out at BB perhaps scarz realized their mistake Mello ( their coach LFT)

Update:
Art is now LFT . LFG he's back 🔥🔥
ZETA is now opening slots for academy team, it seems like the current roster will be playing in VCJ next year 🔥🔥.

Speculation: yotaa has just returned to France, is he taking a break or he's lft ?

Update :
laz retires and pursues streaming career, thank you for your contributions to the japanese valorant scene 😭
