Hey guys!

I have moved to Japan recently and I thought Id play some val here.
I'm on my 10th match or so and I have yet to encounter a single Japanese player. Any player apart from Russian to be exact. What happened to the server? Why is it always a full Russian squad that does not speak even English? I thought this game is popular in Japan but I'm not lying when I say its always a full Russian squad even at the enemy team.

Not that there is anything wrong with Russian players but the language barrier takes away a lot from both teamwork and fun.

Does anyone know what's happening?

This is correct. There are some “Europe” servers in Tokyo for eastern Russia. If you have moved there are details here on moving your account: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413502362259-Account-Transfer-FAQ
