The best Japanese team of VCT Pacific, ZETA Division Valorant has finally announced their VCT 2024 roster. The announcement introduces ex-FURIA coach Carlos “Carlao” Mohn as the new Head Coach for the roster. It also introduces Ex-Fennel member Hiroki "hiroronn" Yanai and academy player Yushin "Yuran" Hato as the new members of the roster.

Carlao previously coached the FURIA roster in VCT Americas 2023. Despite the roster’s struggle and visibly lackluster results, FURIA did display signs of brilliance, the team had some great matches but failed to secure International tournaments.

Hiroronn previously was part of ZETA division academy and found his way to the FENNEL’s main roster. With Fennel, Hiroronn has been one of the top contenders in Japan. The team won the first split of VCL Japan but lost to Scarz in the second split  and again in the VCT Pacific Ascension 2023.

Yuran is a young 18 year old who was previously part of the ZETA Division academy. The former controller player will be a talent in development under the leadership of the ZETA division players.

Along with the new players and prospects, Tomoaki "crow" Maruoka will take over as the playing coach for the team. This likely means crow will communicate with the team during the games while Carlao will be head of strategies.

With the new changes, the VCT 2024 ZETA Division roster will be as follows:

You can read the player statements about joining the squad here. The new squad will debut at the RedBull Home Ground #4 starting tomorrow. The team will face Cloud9’s squad with Rahul “Curry” Nemani standing in for Maxim “wippie” Shepelev.
