zetas macro seemed fine. just aim diff.
ts looks like 2023 kc

hals and aace are not, due to contract issues. they were trailing with yatsuka, so maybe. and honeybunny and absol are both stand in

dep is prob retiring hes been posting on X often lately, which is rare and been playing a lot of apex apparently
zeta new roster plz
dep
xdll
sugarhero
yatsuka
caedye

aace said in his stream that they will go with the same roster for the playoffs. however, they said they are not practicing anymore because some players are leaving (idk if someone is going to retire or if aace and hals is going t1) i dont think they will be able to qualify for new york without any practice, and even if they do, we would see the new roster at new york, not playoffs.

personally, i think aace and hals remains in fennel, from what xqq is saying in his stream. so i guess neth or GON is going to move or retire.

2-0 rid

they said in the interview that after they were eliminated from stage2, they stopped an IGL system and just decided everyone making calls. I watched the coms vid of them against prx, and CLZ was not calling, and sugarzero was more of a igl, so i guess sugarzero, or theyll just continue with the everyone calling system

no way riddle is beating ns or boom

riddle fruads too. japan is a fraud region.

if boom or ns does not make playoffs (finishes 9-12) they get automatic relegation. I dont think this will happen since both sides are solid and the bottom 4 will prob be zeta dfm ge ts

it is not

i think there is no seeds. it just 1st seed picking their opponent from 3rd and 4th seed. vlr is wrong in this case. riddle chose qtdig, so its fennel vs noez, riddle vs qt dig. this is the source btw. https://www.valorant4jp.com/2025/04/vcj-2025-split-2-riddle-vs-qt-dignoez.html
