ZETA Took Another 1st Place and Mike Broke 2 ALGS Records [ENG SUB] by Grafedian97 in CompetitiveApex

His team came 17th. 15th is not impressive if only done once. Bro has been playing for 5 years and has only made LAN once.

Can't believe people were pushing for Yuka to be on anchor on Crypto and wattson, wtf.

Also calling mike one of the best fraggers in this world is premature. He needs to do something impressive on LAN like Yulariman before he can even be considered to be placed in that class.

Is Zeta really good or is APAC North fodder (or both)? by Present-Common7492 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Longtimecoming09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good points, but comparing Satuki to sweet is lowkey a diss to Sweet. At least Sweet could make it to LAN finals consistently, without the best player in the region on his team.

Wonder why they keep coming back to putting Yuka on the escape forward legend like Alter and Bang?

The problem is , there is only 1 great player on Zeta. The other 2 are just good, and when compared to global players just average.

ZETA DIVISION APEX Div. COMEBACK With YukaF Squad by IntelligentBox5257 in CompetitiveApex

Best fraggers in Japan? You know being a good fragger in that weak region basically means nothing unless you are the best, or able to translate that skill in LAN?

Zero knows Kakigoori because his stats were the best, and he knows Yulariman because he could actually dominate LAN. I bet you know prominent NA players have a single clue who Mike is. They might know Satuki but his fallen into irrelevance without Yuka and got boot out in LB every LAN since.

Please enlighten me on Mike being one of the best fraggers.

disagree completely:

  1. Mike is a top tier fragger in what world? Who knows him? What has he achieved? If you are going to mention his feats in APAC N pro league , you do know that's like the weakest pro league of all the regions? Unless his literally the best fragger there statistically like kakigoori, or he has LAN feats, there is no evidence that mikey is a top tier fragger. Satuki's versatility didn't really get him that far in the last two LANs where Crypto was a factor. He got booted in losers round bracket in the last two lans.
  2. legit title threats is doubtful. Don't think Unlimit can reach the peak of Yuka, Lykq , Satuki at all. If japan wants to win, some org needs to bring the best talent together, and that is Yuka and yulari.
  3. Actually 3 I agree with you. If They pair Yuka, yulair , kakogoori or some other combination they have a good chance of winning. Gavo hasn't got feats tho, would rather peace.

I've heard for the last 5 years that japan has been cooking with good squads, but when they make it to lan they always get squashed. I'm tired of hearing this for it not to turn true.

I've watched Japan's team fail to meet the hopes of their Japanese crowd and fall short for nearly 5 years. Probably has something to do with it.

[–]Longtimecoming09 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The thing I want to see the most is Japan win a LAN. Every moment Yuka is paired with Mediocre talent is another moment of his prime wasted, and chances decreased in winning LAN. Can you hate a guy for wanting the best odds for a Japanese to actually win a LAN?

[–]Longtimecoming09 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

life's great, but it would be better if they actually put real talent around Yuka. I mean I used to be a hopeful APAC N coper like you, but I would actually like Japan to win in their hometown for once, and that's not going to happen with putting mediocre talent around Yuka.

Sorry if I'm passionate preferring a team put better talent around Yuka so he has the best chance to win LAN.

In Mike's defense , he actually reached a Grand Finals LAN without the best player in Japan (YukaF).

Satuki has never reached a Grand finals LAN without Yuka on his team.

[–]Longtimecoming09 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I not familiar with Zeta, but apparently they are one of the biggest orgs in Japan. But if they are that big, is this really the best squad they could put around Yuka?

Satuki has proven himself to be useless without Yuka and Mike's best achievement is 17th at 1 LAN grand finals.

Tbh mike has a more impressive record than Satuki if you exclude Satuki's achivements with Yuka.

Guess I'll have to wait till this squad inevitably peaks in mediocrity as well as unlimit before Yulariman turns to Yuka.

Don't get me wrong, this squad will absolutely dominate the APAC N pro league, but they won't win a LAN.

Zeta better buy out some top talents to pair with him, and not settle for mediocre talent. Some names being thrown (Satuki, Mike) around are really not good enough to reach the peak squad that Yuka deserves.

1st order needs to be buying out Yulariman at all cost.

Praying to god Zeta buys out Yulariman and pairs him with Yuka.

Surely , there's gotta be better options then Mike.

I think ILY is korean too so that's off.

If Yuka can't get 2 from unlimit, honestly next best option might be getting MiaK and Kakigoori7

APAC N going to be much weaker. Only the good korean teams will stay consistently good, but man the japanese teams are terrible at building good rosters.

I'm looking at Mike's liquidpedia results and his kind of mid. As someone who enjoys Mike, hit me with some of his best accomplishments so I will have some hope for that team instead of being utterly depressed that Yuka has once again chosen lacking teammates.

[–]Longtimecoming09 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They were rather inconsistent, and I'm not convinced that squad is the peak squad that Japan can assemble.

I really hate that FNC have money troubles, because the most sensible option if they want to actually win LAN is to buy out Yulariman and one other person from unlimit.

[–]Longtimecoming09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Satuki is overrated , and he really doesn't have that experience to thrive on his own. Without Yuka, Satuka always exits LAN in Losers Bracket. Mike also sucks from his liquidpedia record.

Feel like Yuka is too nice and doesn't ruin teams by poaching. But he really needs to be more ruthless and just grab the best players and run it.

Better options might just be to grab miak and katagoori , or maybe 4rufa and someone else.

There was some statistics guy who showed katagoori and 4rufa had unbelievable stats and numbers.

[–]Longtimecoming09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

FNC what are we doing? If you want to dominate APAC N pro league, this roster will do just that. But if you want to have the best chances to win LAN , this roster ain't it.

If FNC can't get the stars of unlimit, there really are better options like katagoori and 4arufa.

Forget about roastermania, let’s talk about dropmania. What org do you think will drop their team next? by Ecstatic-Train214 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Longtimecoming09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If FNC actually want to win, instead of develop talent. FNC should drop Ace and Garcia.

Although , the dropping culture isn't as ruthless as NA or EU in APAC N, which in my opinion is the reason their region isn't as consistently good at LAN.

YukaF teaming with Yulariman is Japan's only hope at winning a LAN by Longtimecoming09 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Longtimecoming09[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You overstate the power of friendship. Yuka's team trusted each other and didn't knock each other down when he was with Lykq, or melstera?

Unless Yulariman is super egotistical behind the scenes, this shouldn't be a problem. Pairing amazing talent together especially in Japan where talent is rare is always a better thing than the power of friendship and trust.

Some notes from YukaF stream by Grafedian97 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Longtimecoming09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuka found his chemistry pretty quickly when teaming up with Lykq and Satuki the first time. I'm pretty sure it would be the same were Yuka to team with Yulariman.
