Truthfully, I don't blame ZAFT for being demoralized.
1. One of their biggest lb gets stripped at the start of the osw.
2. Donno, also one of tgeir top lb, leave for Warlor right before the OSW.
3. Many of their older clans left the alliance and were replaced by other clans. I mean Fury even refused to take the ZAFT name.
4. 3 of their top lb leave ZAFT right after the osw starts. This adds up to be 5 lb in the top 10.
5. WDGAF ends the ZAFT-WDGAF alliance. I am not saying that YAFI is inferior, but losing a long-time ally hurts.
6.Because of all the above, ZAFT is now, for the first time in forever, outnumbered and outfunded.
However, even through all that, they are fighting hard, so respect. Also respect to Apoc for pressing them so hard. It is an osw between tge 2 biggest titans of KAW. May the best win!
