True but in this match Jemkin did beat something head to head. This doesn't necessarily make Jemkin better but he could be of that tier

Yeah and jemkin looks good on the raze, so maybe he would be a better all round duelist.

yeah this mostly attributes to the shit support at sengoku, but jemkin is mostly known as both a strong team player and fragger

You think he could hold is own in the Pacific League?

He could, but hard finding a team that would pick him up. Only teams left that haven't used their imports are KR teams, DFM, zeta, and ts I believe. Among those I only see possibly DFM picking him up.

I'd love to see him on PRX lmao. But yeah I feel they'll be lots of movement of teams during the off-season and he could come into one of the teams, time will tell

Something had better stats. But it's funny how he jett diffed everyone in APAC except foxy and he played in t2 jp for almost 2 years when those who got owned by him were attending majors.

Kr1stal is another Russian also up there in terms of performance, he's been very good for SCARZ

wait why are there so many russian players playing on apac teams😭

Because Half of the Russian territory is in Asia

that makes sense, but doesnt that mean they have to learn a whole ass language? why arent there just full russian teams. imo they would be DOMINATING apac if there are this many cracked players

#18

There can't be full Russians because Russians are supposed to compete in EMEA, they do not have a VCL in Asia. They are technically "imports" that's why there is always 3 Japanese and 2 Russians.

I imagine they com in English tho, just like everyone does here in EMEA

Something is somewhat fluent, I have heard him speaking it on stream. Idk about the other russian players since Ive never been on their stream.

Vici and something is somehow fluent (vici >>> smth) while the other Russian players use mostly English to communicate with their teammates (Kr1stal n Jemkin, could be seen from scarz vlog and snippets from vcj comms)

It might not be allowed in the rules I'm guessing theres a 3/5 nationality rule which stops it. There also is no CIS league at the moment for Russians to play in if my memory serves me right

CIS league was canceled due the war you are correct, yet Far east Russians wouldn't really be able to play in it due ping

Actually it's around 75% but it's very unpopulated because most of it is frozen wasteland. Russian population density map is like a triangle with Petersburg, Belgorod and Vladivostok being the 3 apexes, 95% of the population lives within the triangle and it is only 30% of russian territory

#12

Because there are 20 million Russians living east of Urals and they have better ping to kr/jp than to eu

Kr1stal Vici and jerkin are all three extremely good, and I do not think they would be weak links in many of the Pacific bottom teams. But they are definitely not something

I wonder if any will get signed going into next Season I feel both would be very good pickups and could thrive in the right team and environment. So could even TenTen but I feel he might be below the 2 russians

Kr1stal better. He is IGL and his agent pool is insane.
Jemkin is solid duelist, but not on the same level as something yet.

Jemkin and Kristal both are good, but not something level. Vici is arguably better than both.

I hear the Vici shout, I hope he finds a team soon. I feel it's close though idk which is ahead of the others

#24

maybe try for APAC? or India maybe? Vici will have a tough in japan because with something the comms could be in english, but a team aint gonna change language for 1 player only right?

#26

Yeah chances are they won't. There will be some movement in the APAC league or even abroad during the off-season I'm sure lots of changes will be made and there's a chance a team could take a chance on him

Honestly a team of Jemkin, Kr1stal, Vo0kashu Vici and another Russian player for an all-russian speaking roster could do really well

Please don't take any more players from the Japan region. We've already lost many, including meteor(KR) ,Foxy9,and somthing(RU) :)

i suggest to you guys that watch scarz's match.
scarz is consisted from 1 russian 1 yakutsk 1 pinoy 1 american japanese 1 japanese.
almost its like GE in jp region

I thought he's buryat no? Batorov sounds more like buryat surname rather than yakut,or he said he's yakut?

#43

jemkin joined japanese community tournament as a member of " yakutsk" or something like that name
so i had thought he is yalutsk, im sorry about that if im wrong

#45

Bator derives from Mongolian(and Buryats are Mongol ethnically), but if he's from Yakutsk he's more likely Yakut yes.

Buryats are ethnic Mongols(just like Kalmyk who live in Caucasus), but they have different dialect, kinda like Spanish and Portuguese.

I think Jemkin is very underrated. I believe he is on somethings level his aim is more consistent and arguably even better than somethings. But something is very fast and does some crazy stuff and hits more crazy highlights and is more hyped and known because of his streams and him playing on NA

#53

Apparently something does a really good job for the team other than just fragging too

I mean jemkin is doing good in scarz. But idk its not like PRX signed him so unless he goes to tier1 we cant say much about his team play.

#55

Yeah Ik, he might call a lot too, I was just pointing it out. Tbh I really hope someone pick either Jemkin, Kristal or Vici up, either in Pacific or EMEA but I think it's gonna be really really hard for them because of the 1 import rule

#56

I saw fadezis(scarz coach) tweet something like don't worry everyone in team is a resident of japan or something like that. I guess it could work like that but idk. I go solely off of fadezis words rn.

#57

He must have meant it in a different way, I'm pretty sure they are counting as imports in the Japan league rn. Wish I'm wrong tho

"Don't worry, all our players are residents of Japan ;)" he replied with that to a tweet saying that scarz need to drop 1 foreign player if they win in ascension and go to VCT. I would say it can only mean that the rule is not applied idk what else.
