So I just noticed, Japan has a world's team now. Is the Japanese server finally out?

If not, what server do the Japanese play on?

Oh. They had a server, or do you mean a League? Because I looked it up and they said that this was LJL's first season as an official league.

Also, on a sidenote, is it just me or are they really bad? I looked up their "highlight" reels and it seems like they play a lot like Golds/Plats. Their coordination as teams is close to nil, they make a lot of stupid mistakes and go "YOLO" way too often, and they don't seem to understand simple concepts. Their mechanics are about as good as Diamonds, but not that high of Diamonds. I dunno, I just am saying what I have seen based on their highlights reels. Anyone else have any comments about the Japanese teams?

edit Like, for example, I see them burn flash when it obviously will give them nothing. I saw a Jayce use his flash in a highlights reel to get a single Q on a high health target who had already gotten away. I also constantly see them burn it while trying to run from hopeless situations, where they are already confirmed to be dead. They use it so they can die 5 feet closer to their turret.

I'm talking league. Meaning that They already went through 1 split.

They are pretty bad, but thats how most wildcard regions are. They haven't been around and to be honest may not even have the best players in the region. I actually stopped watching because it seemed way to amateur.

Yeah. I hope they end up being good within the next year or so. I want to root for them so badly, but I can't if they make mistakes that even I don't make (a gold player who will never get/deserve glorious "challenjour"). I hate comparing myself to pros, but Japan's "pros" are doing things even I don't do the majority of the time; and that is considered their "highlights". They will get crushed, as they are now, by the pros of KR, EU, NA, China, and all of the other regions that are not "wildcards". Hell, I think even Brazil would do better than Japan.

I am hoping that it is just because they are new to LoL and that they will adjust quickly as a region, because I need more teams I can/want to root for (because the only team I have to root for right now is C9, and they never do well on an international level).
