ZETA DIVISION ZETA DIVISION Japan Rank #9 SugarZ3ro Shota Watanabe announced that Yushin "yuran" Hato, Hiroki "hiroronn" Yanai, and former FURIA FURIA Inactive coach Carlos "Carlao" Mohn have joined the team.

The legacy of ZETA DIVISION began in 2020, first playing under the Absolute JUPITER Absolute JUPITER Inactive makiba Miyamoto Akatsuki Laz Ushida Koji crow Maruoka Tomoaki barce Takebayashi Ryo takej Takemori Shogo Reita Oshiro Ryu banner, with Ushida "Laz" Koji and Maruoka "crow" Tomoaki being pieces. Following their qualification to Masters: Berlin in 2021, the team rebranded to ZETA, but even with a new name, they were knocked out of groups with no wins.

Prior to 2022, ZETA DIVISION revamped their roster with Shota "SugarZ3ro" Watanabe, Yuma "Dep" Hashimoto, and Tenta "TENNN" Asai while keeping Laz and crow. Such changes looked promising after having a historic third-place finish at Masters: Reykjavik — but the roster began to lose steam, having not qualified for Masters: Copenhagen then exited the group stages at Champions 2022.

During 2023, ZETA made no changes save for the return of barce . The stagnation of the roster resulted in only two international appearances, LOCK//IN and Champions 2023 — where they once again went winless — and missed out on Masters: Tokyo after a grueling playoffs performance. Following the conclusion of Champions, ZETA made their first changes since 2021; crow stayed on as a coach, while TENNN and coach Motoyama "XQQ" Hibiki were moved to content creation.
