isn't that the point of new rosters and being hype? it's that you are hoping they move from groups merchants to playoffs merchants and regional merchants to group merchants

Zeta sucks.There are just FL which can't even win the Japan qualifying round.
Every FL player are overrated

You're a hater, FENNEL was one of the best T2 teams in APAC and would've easily made Ascension if there was an LCQ (them and MiTH)

I'm Japanese and have been watching vcj for a long time. FL is a clown who only wins split1 and is inconsistent.I don't trust any FL member except syouta. clz had a terrible performance in redbull against FNC and C9.
Based on recent scrims, I would guess that the DFM is stronger than ZETA.

I get where you're coming from but I'm a big FENNEL fan and have been watching them for over a year so I'm gonna ignore what you just said and keep pretending 😃👍

(That being said, I do like ZETA and DFM equally)

Sorry for sounding like I'm in denial.I'm a big fan of Dep and xqq and I want they had made a real change the roster because I support ZETA.I wish they had made an effort to get aspas on the team.

I completely understand, man. I do think Dep will keep doing well on duelist, though. I have full faith in SyouTa and CLZ to be able to set him up

EMEA = FNATIC, KC, M8, KOI, GX
APAC = DRX, RRQ, TALON, PRX
CN = Trace, FPX, TEC, JDG

I don't think they will make every event or even make it super far in EMEA, but Gentle Mates. I think they will do well even with roster full of unproven talent.
