Welcome to ZETA DIVISION.

After ZETA's disappointing finish at Masters Berlin, the team was slated to participate in the APAC Last Chance Qualifier based on their circuit points standings. However, the team opted to forfeit from the event, giving way for NORTHEPTION and FENNEL to participate.

Dep, a longstanding member of REJECT, has been with the team since its inception back in 2020. He became inactive in August 2021, with news of his future uncertain as he missed the LCQ. SugarZ3ro and Ten, two core members of the previous NORTHEPTION squad made headlines as they were one map away from participating in Champions, having surpassed expectations of the team and region in the LCQ.

barce and Reita were one of the original members of ZETA DIVISION, then called Absolute JUPITER Absolute JUPITER Inactive makiba Miyamoto Akatsuki Laz Ushida Koji crow Maruoka Tomoaki barce Takebayashi Ryo takej Takemori Shogo Reita Oshiro Ryu , having contributed to the team's early success as one of Japan's dominant teams. Makiba was brought in as Stage 3 started, having played in teams such as Nester and CNCI Blue Bees before. With the team, makiba helped them towards a Masters berth, before failing to move past the group stage, finishing 13th-16th.

With these changes, ZETA DIVISION ZETA DIVISION Japan Rank #7 Laz Ushida Koji yuran Yushin Hato hiroronn Hiroki Yanai Dep Yuma Hashimoto SugarZ3ro Shota Watanabe are:

Holy god, these are some stunning pick ups by ZETA. These guys are literally the upper echelon of Japanese Valorant. Really excited to see what they can do next year.

But sad for NORTHEPTION being gutted like that. From APAC LCQ finalists who almost made champions to only 1 player. All they have is Meiy on the team.

SugarZ3ro plays controller.

His Astra and Viper are pretty good, way better than Makiba's IMO.

I would agree, makiba probably needs more experience but he'll be streaming for next year to focus on his schooling so I hope he'll come back stronger and ready to grind next year

This also marked the end of Absolute lineup who have been together for a long time. Adding young fresh talent for the New Era of JP FPS esports.

It has been an issue for him since the start of his CSGO career. I think he would be back by January or late December.

I've seen a Lot of people saying that they are really strong RN, Can Someone explain How great this team becomes with this players? I don't usually watch JP scene so If someone could explain for me the Power levels of the region it would be great, Thank you. I love knowing about New prospects from other regions.
