Goodmorning jayde. Please dont talk down on my goat honnybunny:p. Though I agree that dep can do the same and will prob do the same
cannot happen cuz fennel has the same spending power as zeta and dfm while in tier 2
mb didnt know
but then why tf their valorant roster look like budget rosters
nah like tier 2 player never go up
we see recycled player again and again
and they dont keep their roster so they can get good
yeah i dont know shit about japan valorant
promote fennel after evaluation so japanese players will be forced out of their tier 2 comfort zone man
FENNEL has announced that he will stay with FL for 2026.

Rumor: Contract Jail
GON, who had been with FL since 2024, said on stream that his transfer fee was around 100 million yen, which is roughly about $650,000. Aace is probably also on a two-year contract starting in 2025, with a similar or even higher buyout. It’s really outrageous and not something anyone can realistically pay.
japanese orgs truly have to be burnt down, they keep destroying they're own scene like it's nothing and then we wonder why Jp teams are shit
Japan’s Challengers scene is honestly abnormal. Every split’s finals are held as a LAN event in an arena with tens of thousands of seats, and the peak concurrent viewership easily surpasses several tens of thousands. To be frank, staying in the domestic scene gives players more popularity, income, and match opportunities than moving to Tier 1, where they’d have to compete in a foreign country.
Just curious, will they also have a monthly pay along with this buyout pay?(if they do then this buyout is absolutely insane)
The transfer fee is probably a penalty for terminating the contract, so it likely isn’t directly related to the player’s salary. However, their salaries are probably on par with—or even higher than—those in Tier 1. Meiy also mentioned on stream that players in Japan’s Tier 2 are getting paid more than some league teams.
Then they themselves are killing their teir1 scene for money. Thanks for the explanation!
Words coming from someone who's financially comfortable. I can smell it miles away.
Let me remind you barring a few players , being an esports athlete just means you are postponing your next job which is working at a cashier in Lawson or Familymart.
Heard that he was in a contract jail with Fennel. Would be better to promote the fennel to tier one scene(pacific).
his performance on fennel was good but never enough to be considered a new prodigy
