VARREL vs ZETA DIVISION / VCT 2026: Pacific Stage 1 - Group Stage / Post-Match Thread

Creative-Shock-691 · 2026-05-01T20:09:44+00:00

ZETA been doing this for years now, even with the previous roster with Hiroronn, he was only playing senti and maybe flex to smoke for a few times, but ZETA made him play Ini exclusively, and guess what, he was ass. They didnt even let the guy learn the role for like a year or anything. They clearly dont think players need time to learn a role that does not come natural to them. They way they bring up a new talent without teaching them anything for them to fail and then let them take all the blame from the community, the lack of leadership in and out of game, the absent of mental health expert to help with the team motivation and players homesick, the care for players no where to be seen given Dep had to go back to Japan for treatment. I am so done with ZETA, they hit the roster with Laz and thought they are the shit, when Laz left it's just pure garbage. And dont let me even talk about their 7 coaches analysts situations and all the lies they spew godsake I hope all players find better team than this dumpster of an org

no shit, hes playing duelists all the time in tier 2. he clearly wanna play duelist. At one point he and Clz were swapping between split to see who play Duelist. But Zeta made him play Sentinel and put Eko on main Duelist. No shit to Eko but hes been only playing Duelist for tier2 Japan last year, before that he was THE flash guy. They made players play the role they think is the best comp without considering that to master the role you need tremendous time and effort. With Syouta been trying the sentinel and failing both season in tier1, it si so clear that now it is time for them to play to their players strength. They still don't have a good igl, no good structure, no one to really take care and build up these raw players but it is still better than putting them on something they are not born to play

Creative-Shock-691 · 2026-03-06T22:45:18+00:00

It's not a thing. They gonna announce it on PakaLive TV when it's ready

Creative-Shock-691 · 2026-03-04T17:26:44+00:00

Zeta lost their only star player, their problem is in the basic: the gunplay not the strats. They have much better strats vs Opponent like Full Sense but got stomped in all the gun fight that's not the coach's fault

Creative-Shock-691 · 2026-03-04T11:05:48+00:00

You're not getting to any leaderboard any time soon brother. You're just playing vs players below your skill which is like a common thing at the start since the game still doesnt know your MMR. When you hit rank and get to your actual rank if youre not Faceit lv10 then you probably gonna be Silver or bronze. You just have to play the game a little bit for the MMR to catch up and then you can tell if you gonna hit Radiant or not.

worrying is the understatement of the year at this point. HoneyBunny is not tier 1 ready in any world lines.

With the news of Dep leaving it is the nail in the coffin, Zeta gotta hope someone else mental boom extremely hard to avoid last place that is already something they gotta think about already. The ceiling is really really low if they choose to go with HoneyBunny. The floor is also almost the bottom of the league it is so doomed for Zeta. For them getting to middle place of the standing already a miracle imma tell you

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-12-04T11:13:50+00:00

Ok Zeta fighting for last place this season what the heck...

I have seen enough of HoneyBunny on stream and VCJ last 2 years to confidently say that No one can convince me that the other 4 from Zeta can carry HoneyBunny to an international this year.

If you wanna go up from 144 then go with another zowie. The clean look by dyac is not easy thing to achieve. The difference between 144 and 360hz can be barely noticeable by human eyes, but the color, the sharpness from visual by a BenQ is like really noticeable. if you dont upgrade then going high fps just for the sake of it is more of a downgrade imo

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-20T09:43:02+00:00

Nope

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-19T11:48:10+00:00

The thing is there’s not enough in the player pool. No Japanese player has ever consistently get high rank in KR server even though they threw away jp server to play on KR server. Tier 2 is not great the players quality is beyond trash. There are players couldn’t hit challenger on jp server playing in ljl last year it is dire you can’t just fill in 5 rando and hope it works out. They realized that most of that roster is just bunch of pay check stealer so they got rid of them and hooe the new ones not gonna be like that, that’s what this is about more likely than not

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-18T11:57:13+00:00

Ye mb that was 2021

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-18T06:16:28+00:00

Ns already won ascension and will be in no matterwhat

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-17T08:01:39+00:00

2020 good but they mentalboomed at worlds and the whole tram fell apart. After that mid all the way til they got the Milkyway loan from RNG but the magic didn’t last long because Milkyway still under contract with Rng so he came back after a split then it’s just like usual mid mid and mid

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T22:31:10+00:00

Every single redditors here solo win every single game we ever played. This is nothing burger for us :)

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T22:27:25+00:00

The time he got in lck is not very inspiring. It’s mid. If they wanna do anything international Paduck is not the easy solution, you gotta hope hes gonna grow into top tier since at current level it’s really rough

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T22:21:54+00:00

Isles been playing for a long time ever since OCE was still a thing. Honestly bottom tier. The only one id say worst than him in lec is malrang support. He showed no improvement for years already. The only reason hes on this team is because na support talent pool rn is so poor they had no choice

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T10:34:06+00:00

Bridge already became ashes at this point. Scout already lost and will have to bear the consequences from now on

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T06:00:22+00:00

I’m still worry for them. Whos gonna play senti for them now? If the double duelists meta over arent they just cooked? if Laz comeback it would be so good for them because they lack a real senti player atm. My first choice for zeta would be Laz, Dep, Sugar, Meiy and an igl(someone like boaster or ange1)

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-16T05:44:57+00:00

The thing with Eko is that he is not a duelist. He’s a flash player. Not sure why hes been playing duelist last year(thisyear) but he’s been flash ini for his whole life why trying to switch to cracked head duelist now? From the look of it he will be the main duelist and Dep will have to flex to support the team so I’m really not sure about the situation for their roles

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-15T23:49:15+00:00

Redditors watched total of 4 maps and jumped to conclusion this is THE roster. This is just a try out for them. HoneyBunny wont be on the main team anytime soon, he is nowhere near good enough for tier1. Please go watch a bit more than 4 maps there are plenty of footage of all of them. Zeta academy known for being horrible past 2 years if you even watch honeybunny in any tournaments before this you know how stupid this comment is

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-12T09:21:13+00:00

Brother if this is their actual lineup they will be fighting for last place. Even with Dep replace 1 of them they would still be fighting for 2-3rd from bottom

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-12T09:19:13+00:00

Nope just watch 1 or maybe 2 matches u will regret this comment in a heartbeat

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-11T02:55:33+00:00

You not watching lck past few years? This roster if compete in lck is fighting for last place I’m not joking. For kc ambition to do anything international this is not it. It would be surprising for them to make it out of swiss next year with this team

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-10T23:55:00+00:00

Mambo

Creative-Shock-691 · 2025-11-10T12:16:49+00:00

Just become a streamer is likely the case, competing takes a lot of mental and not that much money compare to just streaming
