Not really lol, those Russians play on JP servers because they are closer to JP. They literally get 150+ ping on EU
so what? that's still called imports since they are not born in Japan
I haven't seen any Russians pro on JP teams but regardless hope the imports improve the scene substantially infact SA teams should do the same too import KR or SEA players
Check the JP Challengers. Literally, there are 3 players that have been playing forever.
i remember this dude talking shit about every SEA team during challanger but take a drastic turn everytime an SA topic showed up kekw
thats really cringe. just build up your own talent. best team in jp is all japanese learn from the best.
English maybe, mostly simple call outs , but still huge disadvantage
Comms are going to be terrible
I honestly don’t know how teams like CR (JP+KR comms) or BB (JP+RU+ENG comms) even operate
either the SEA/OCE Imports learn Japanese or these Japanese players learn proper English, honestly the first option would be better since most Japanese are suck in English.
They have a big player base, it's possible that they get good eventually, but I think the majority of japanese only play for fun... They don't really strive to become good or pro.
doubt this is the right move, korea has already had thai imports and this did not go well at all

only 2 games he ended up playing in korea: the guy is talented but i dont think itll work out due to comms
Yep, something like this will most likely happen in JP scene as well if they import players that still doesn't fluently speak local language from the start.
bro got shipped to korea to join a team for 5-6 months and only got to play 2 series 💀💀 100T ec1s type beat
Let them import who they wanna import tbh no reason to hate
They're already importing Koreans, so it's just a small step to importing other regions
But the language barrier is challenging as the Japanese syntax is entirely different to eng
