If you have any questions about Bangladesh or Canada, feel free to ask me. It can be as ridiculous as you want, as long as you're not being over the top.

Inspired by QIQ and many others, who made a similar thread on Japan and their respective countries.

1. I’ve been learning a bit of Japanese the past year. I know many words and sentences (numbers, times, asking for something, directions, etc.) But Kanji has been a pain in the ass because each kanji can have a different meaning or the word itself can have different kanji. So as a native Japanese, do you still struggle with kanji or is it a basic thing to get down in childhood?

2. Ideally, would you like to see Koreans or other imports on the ZETA roster? I personally wouldn’t.

Los Grandes because they need that classic LOUD vs LOS rivalry in Valorant

I commend his efforts since he’s just starting out and somewhat made a name for himself, but he can’t be taken as a credible source without definite evidence.

I respect what he’s doing though.

His spreadsheet is the “end all, be all” of potential signings; it’s an accumulation of all the rumours flying around from insiders.

If FlyNN made a report that turned out to be wrong, then his credibility can be questioned. But since he hasn’t done that, take his spreadsheet with a list of changes that teams can make, not will.

W pickup for anyone.

My guess is KC or even KOI. Hell, maybe even Heretics?

OGs remember Fox Gaming johnqt, the Jett demon.

Also OGs remember when Shahzam duoed with johnqt in ranked and that’s how the latter’s popularity grew.

OG Fish123 out o7

Hear me out:

• Already has experience in an Indian organization and lived in India while playing for God's Reign, so boot camping may not be an issue

• Very flexible on multiple agents, even while playing controller

• Consistent stats throughout past match history, given that his KD and KPR are very substantial.

• Has shown promise on a T1 level (pun intended) and can be a driving force for an English-speaking roster

He's one of the best available pieces that GE can get in replacement for Monyet.

This might sound giga insane:

Duelist - iZu
Controller - Sayaplayer (yes i know we’re going back to T1 Spyder but he’s the only one that can do it since he has experience. But dear god don’t let it happen )
Sentinel - k1ng
Initiator - Carpe or Xcc
Flex - Xeta

Time to sleep

Absolutely, we are burning the midnight oil.

Appreciate it brother

I think he’ll come back to his old form under the right coaching.

The comments are from the article listed above but it gives an idea how the fans feel.

• "dfm ta1yo来るか？"
  DFM ta1yo incoming?

  • "ta1yoはOWにお熱だよそれにZETAのストリーマっていう美味しいポジを捨ててまでくるとこじゃない"
    Ta1yo is an OW streamer. Plus, he wouldn't [throw] away the bonuses ZETA gives him

• "めろふぉとかsuggestって再契約の可能性ある？"
  Will [head coach] Melofovia and Suggest renew their contracts?

  • "メロフォ再契約したら泣きます"
    If Melofovia renews, I'll cry. (not sure if they're going to be happy or sad)

• "DFM新ロースター 加藤純一 もこうはんじょうおにや yay"
  DFM's new roster: Junichi Kato (a famous streamer that owns an esports team -- basically Japanese Ludwig) and for the second [player], maybe yay.

• "Seoldamはデュエリストとして試合に臨みますがK/Dは0.63！？！？！？！？！？ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ！！？？ｗｗｗｗｗｗ"
  Seoldam plays duelist, but his KD is 0.63 LOOOOOOOOOLLLL

• "SeoldamがApexしてなかった世界線も見たかったよ"
  I [also] wanted to see a timeline where Seoldam didn't play Apex

  • ホンマそれ NTH時代のキレが戻る気配無かったな
    Honestly, there's no sign that his [calibre] from his NTH days will ever come back (basically calling him washed)
  • 知名度を得られたって面は凄く良かったんだろうけど、ある意味で無駄な期間になってしまったのは残念。
    It must've been nice to gain clout, but in the end, it was a waste of time [and talent].

Basically, the fans are happy that DFM are making changes. They feel like Seoldam is washed, and Reita should've stayed as a coach but is still happy that he's an active player.

He’s back.

Adding Oxy
Keeping Xeppaa and Jakee

Honestly, not bad for a “budget” team. It’s not that bad as i thought.

With BBL releasing their entire roster but Brave, QutionerX might be a proper fit for KOI.

• QutionerX is already an established player so there’s no worry for rookie nerves.
• Already proven himself as an explosive duelist
• Can reach higher levels under the right direction and coaching.

Roles:
Duelist - QutionerX
Flex - Trexx
Sentinel - Sheydos
Initiator - Starxo
Controller - 5th player (probably L1NK but my personal preference would be either Moh, Davih, or Starki)

Very, very, very high potential to be a contender.

KOItionerX. Make it happen.

You right, fixed up now

Spring is the player to look out for.

Eren has high highs but low lows.

YRSelect and JayH are very flexible.

Bryce is... good.

Probably would let Jemkin go because Kristal is the IGL

OR SO YOU THOUGHT

THAT WAS TIER 1 VALORANT.

Insane game from both teams.

There's a lot of discussion about who the most improved player might be, and there have been strong cases over the year.

Such as T1 Carpe. Everyone was hyped for his debut but it was really poor (even as a T1 fan), so much so, people were wondering if he was the best choice. Fast forward to September, and while T1 didnt have the best performances internationally, Carpe managed to be better than he was at the start of the year, pulling of crucial clutches and helping T1 get rounds that were drastically needed.

But even as T1 fan, my choice for MIP is EG c0m. It's a little obvious but also underplayed as to how valuable c0m has been. Even last year, Akrew c0m was considered good, not great. Even when EG signed him, he was considered innovative but not impactful. Even at the start of the year when EG looked awful, there have been talks that c0m was the weakest link and there are better replacements for him. But now, he became a crucial element to EG's success with his impact and innovation on a multitude of agents and now is considered one of the best Sovas in the world.

Read allat and put your choices for MIP.

Estrella? Dear god no.

Sunday is also very inconsistent.

For EMEA, I'd probably want

-Heretics
+Virtus Pro or MAD LIONS

Even tho MIBR are owned by the infamous IGC, NIP are too volatile for a partnership slot, they switched regions twice already.

M80 was founded this year and they are nothing compared to 100T, as a fanbase and as a profitable organization.

Crazy Raccoon kind of makes sense, I can't lie.

I'm assuming you meant NGX, which is Nigma Galaxy. But even then, they are nothing compared to what ZETA bring to the table. Fanbase, clout, profit, you name it; ZETA excel more.

EDG 3rd place is happening.

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/3d7ae7f4

Still can’t decide between DRX or LOUD in LR2

The playoffs with the most parity ever:

2 NA 2 EMEA 2 PACIFIC 2 CN bracket.

Delusional with a chance

WE ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM A:
2 NA 2 EMEA 2 PACIFIC 2 CN PLAYOFFS

MAKE IT HAPPEN BILIBILI

Get that man on a better team.

Bro is deadlifting.

SeliG is not good.

If you really think a Munchkin replacement is necessary then Margaret or Hermes are better bets.

The moment ZETA let Haven through, i knew they were going to lose, should they lose their first map.

Now that the dust has settled on their season, it’s time for a change.

• crow (coaching)
• tennn (move to sixth man)

/move Dep to TENNN’s role as flex

• Xdll (young, hungry, high potential initiator) or + Anthem (make him live up to his potential and get him out of DFM)
• Meiy (probably the only best Japanese Jetts available, and ZETA will pay bank to get him out of CR)

Roles:

Sentinel: Laz
Initiator: Xdll/Anthem
Duelist: Meiy
Flex: Dep
Controller: SugarZ3ro
Coaches: Junior and Crow

Might've been a language barrier but that was lowkey funny.

Junior and Laz were taking a long time to pick and talking amongst themselves about how to play the remaining maps while Chet and FNS were getting annoyed.

Not an easy fight for T1.

But now that their confidence is back, they’ll make it out.

T1 2-1.

T1 were abysmal against FUT so I hope to god they look marginally better today.

Honestly, I’m worried that they might even lose, but i do hope Saya and Munchkin can pull through for the win.

How good are EDG?

The EDG stocks are its peak rn.

Dep for sure
TENNN

There was a bit of hope but dear god, it’s the same old T1.

Great job by FUT tho, proving doubters like myself VERY wrong.
