I would like to see ZETA back at Masters, but it would be cool to see another Japanese team. It would be interesting to see how they would stack up to the international competition, especially compared to ZETA's previous Masters run.

Head-to-head
Past Matches
NTH isnt better then zeta in my opinion they are pretty same in skill level, so far NTH has lost all the time against zeta except this one game
even if zeta doesn't qualify for masters 2, they'll probably get champions slot just by their points
I hope this match will be close, both teams rather impressed me in this stage.
- Zeta are still looking good coming back from Masters 1 and now have a even bigger mappool with very cool and interestings comps. Good fundementals that always set up some insane midrounding, not to mention also the talent of the roster being absolute insane, everybody just has the potential to clutch different 1vX scenarios.
- NTH is always atonishing to look at, the org somehow manages to get insane talent on their Valo team every single time, now with Meteor, xnfri, Derialy, JoXJo and Blackwiz although some of them needs polishing, the talent of the roster is definitely visible, especially with Meteor who looks straight up like a demon in game. Good mechanical talent that uses good strats and various interesting set ups.
Zeta is definitely favoured to win this but hopefully this will be a fun match to watch
Nth picked Breeze against CR in week 1 qualifier and lost 11-13.
CR picked Breeze against Nth today to do the same thing then lost 6-13 and throw momentum away.
Nth players and coach can do their homework.
I can't deny Nth had so many "Meteor go kill" rounds but they also has good map control and some set ups too. If they can do homework in this one day, they would have better match tomorrow.
ZETA 3-2 Nth
wow !!! im kinda jealous of that big ass stage omg
btw Zeta win 5 - 0 NORTHEPTION ngl
ZETA going for the final choke lfg
was so obvious they choke the final gz northreption
guess what
if you win a bo3 in valo, u better get to ready to get fked in rematch
That would be an interesting stat. How many times a team has lost the upper brackets finals won the lower bracket and then won the grand finals.
gg go next
NTH running it down and ZETA walking with knives out staring at the ground
clean 2-0 to 2-10 remember laz from cs as awper sad hes so shit in valorant was the face of jp couter strike
Why are you talking shit when you really seem to don't have any knowledge of them?
this guys are bots why only garbage watched up bots play valorant and asian cuz cs has no support in that region
Yeah stop baiting dude you gain nothing from this.
Sehr schwach von dir, geh zurrück zu CS Bruder, wenn du nix aussagekräftiges beitragen kannst, dann solltest du am besten Leise sein. Du hast absolut keine Ahnung von was du redest.
I hate it when people talk shit without knowing anything, NTH is good there was always a possibility for upsets here. Zeta is not even playing bad but NTH is crazy at anti-strating the mappicks from Zeta.
lo mas probable es que gane zeta paciencia y tengan Fe (☞^o^) ☞
NTH 3-1, they anti stratted zeta so hard on fracture and they probably did the same on ascent because it looks like they don't like losing the same map twice
Omg didn't imagine zeta can lose.... Their map pool is not wide so maybe this hurt them
They had both bans, so I don’t think this was a matter of map pool.
Meteor is gonna shock so many people at Masters, he's playing this finals phenomenally
Gg to zeta
Good luck to NTH for masters 2
Hope they dominate just like zeta
good to see another JP team in international event, this is great for jp scene
the japanese representatives at masters are not in the good hands, northeption will go home early they will be like crazy raccoons always fail at masters, the japanese representatives should be represented by zeta
so deserved, cant wait to see the boys finally get the credit they deserve on international lan
Northeption has a COMPLETELY new roster, and tbh, I don't have a lot of expectations for them. Sure Mete0r was an absolute demon on Jett for TNL, and JoXJo is a really flexible player and was good on GoNGo Prince, but their Japanese pickups leave a lot of question marks. [...] So many questions around NTH, but if their JP players can perform, then they can be a fair shot to be decent in the JP scene, but it will be a far cry from how they were in 2021 APAC LCQ. - me four months ago before VCT Stage 1 started.
As an avid japan believer, as much as I wanted ZETA to qualify and do another Cinderella run, NTH looked insane. I feel like they'll be an excellent representation for JP. The strats they had and the plays they did were fun to watch.
Their anti-stratting against ZETA was nothing short of world-class, and ZETA themselves are world-class at anti-stratting.
I can't wait to see the same energy from NTH in Copenhagen.
Crazy absolute crazy what Northeption did here. In a single day they managed to completely anti-strat the maps that Zeta had beaten them the day before. Not only were they the first team in JP to get a map against Zeta, they were the first in this stage to beat them.
Whoever is scouting for NTH needs a pay raise, they managed to find 5 absolute insane players that could matchup the super team from JP. Xnfri is somebody to look out for in the future same with the rest of the team.
GG, congrats to Northeption and good luck in Copenhagen!
Let's make JP proud NTH!!!
NTH plays really well, the best team from Japan when it comes to scouting players has finally able to win trophy.
I know he is KR legend but Nth coach bail is so good.
ZETA had 2 bans for upper bracket advantage and picked Icebox on 1st map(Nth kept banning Icebox in this stage).
Then they just rushed A and B so many times on attack and still showed aggression on defense with Meteor Jett to gain information.
They constantly kept showing aggression and it worked with Neon comp in Fracture too. Basically ZETA and Nth are only good teams not permabanning Fracture in this region because so many teams just wanted to avoid ZETA fracture.
ZETA looked scared about their aggression and execution so became too passive. They lost map control and forced to do so many bad retakes.
Prediction, NTH will play like CR did on LAN, showing some promise but ultimately still one of the worse ones in LAN
happy for NTH and JoXJo, been a fan since his GNH days and their run to quarters was crazy
the glowup on meteor, went from playing on a team called i need girlfriend, to making it on tnl, and now qualifying for an international
