SVLeague will be streamed on JSPORTS On Demand. VTV Easysports will be terminated at the end of the year.

I want to use J SPORTS On Demand overseas
A:
This service can only be used in Japan and cannot be used overseas.

This always makes me laugh, how Japan's content can be so locked geographically, yet they can undergo "rebranding" as a league to become more profitable and whatnot

yeah, wanting to be the "world's" best league but you can only watch it if you are in Japan

remember a couple years ago when overseas players complained they couldn't watch Japanese matches because they were geoblocked, so they created a non-geo-blocked version. They won't be able to do that with JSports

Price is higher than VTV ... 2,000 v 1,500 yen ... throw in the price of a VPN (if it will even work), at least 5 bux/month, and a BCS heavy league starts to look pretty unattractive

Oh well, fun while it lasted

So I tried using a browser extension fake vpn to register at JSports and it appears to be working but I'd like a little input on the required bullshit step. I don't know what the required formats of phone #s etc is. I don't know why/how Japanese put up with this bullshit

Any hel[?

So I registered at JSports. They have some or all, I don't know, of the V.League 'catalog' there on demand, but you can't view it until you give CC info. It's supposedly free until Oct but I'm not ready to give CC because, frankly, if SV.League turns into a BCS parade I'm likely to move on. Not interested in that

I just wanted to see if they are self respecting enough to NOT host some of the absolute crap V.League put out over the years, post DAZN

Which is my real curiosity. Is JSports like DAZN in the sense that they will have any control over the quality of the broadcast? I doubt it, because, ya know, that's a lot of matches in very different locations, some quite bumfuck

kinda weird that Mmesomachi has signed with The KLF (v2 Kanoa Laulea's Fukuoka)

Yikes, so many Uni girls I don't know this year. Of course there are always fewer known in the West, but still, many way unknowners

WEST

Really no idea about the Chinese girl #18's name: "Yushu Tan" or "Danwei Zhuyu"

EAST

Obviously some kind of diversity nonsense going on here with the East. I guess since this is the last Summer League they wanted to represent as many schools as possible instead of just letting NSSU and Tsukuba fill out the rosters? And not pick anyone who might be called for the U-Squads or the Eastern Zonal thing coming up, although Maaya Ino is and a couple others are here
