tldr, sen is bad org who dont care about their players careers and only the growth of the org

posted 3 months ago

pANcada complaining about the kj thing kind of triggered this thought process

I don't think you get the argument I'm making.
I'm calling SEN a bad org for sacrificing the careers of their players just to further success, whether that be through winning or clout.
An ideal org should do that without sacrificing the careers of their players.

SEN's actions with Sacy and pANcada don't really make sense.
They sign them as a project, to develop them as English-speaking players, and at the height of their development, you bench pANcada after forcing him in a year of playing off-roles. They essentially abandoned half their Brazil project which they sacrificed dapr for.

An org should try to win, but also take care of their players. I am critiquing SEN's actions for trying to win by sacrificing players.

Not exactly, they do anything to further their org's success.
Of course this includes winning, but this also includes clout like Tenz and Tarik and Shroud
Sacy and pANcada were semi-good pickups and semi-clout from World Champs

Even if you think Zellsis was the right move, you cannot deny that they shafted pANcada's career for TWO YEARS. A good org should take care of their players, not just win.
If they wanted to make an unpopular decision, they'd drop TenZ and put pANcada in.

I love the players but this org feels so scummy that I don't even want to know what happens to the team when Tenz and Tarik retire or leave the org

tldr; sen improves at the cost of their player's careers

Sentinels have snaked not one but two players: dapr and now pANcada.
dapr was supposed to be in franchising but got booted on short notice when they could pick up Sacy and pANcada. Bro was supposed to be in Tier 1 but had to prove himself AGAIN back in tier 2. His pretty much "guaranteed" spot to compete in tier 1 was last minute taken.
While Sacy and pANcada were arguably good pickups, they need time to work through language barriers and other internal issues that come with picking up two non-100%-fluent English speakers. Now that they HAVE been given time, and they HAVE been beating top teams in scrims during champs, they BENCH pANcada despite his superior firepower off of OFF SEASON results.
This whole "zellsis better caller" thing doesn't even make sense. While Zellsis adds flex to the team, they have played and done well against teams such as PRX and FNC in champs who were in higher form than PRX and DRX in AFTV with pANcada and john "solo" calling while simultaneously having tenz perform presumably well on flex such as breach and omen. pANcada got benched off of some poor performances in some off-season games. Zellsis himself said that he wanted to try making strats and take an off role at the start of the season and go further into VOD review type things. pANcada had his spot guaranteed and on his star role but lost it due to OFF SEASON results.
Even if Zellsis makes the team "better," the situation is still messed up. pANcada is benched after being forced to play an off role for an entire year and once he gets his chance he is benched. 2 years of champs finals mvp talent wasted because of a couple off-season games. Yet another player whose spot on a good team was last minute taken.
Even worse, Sentinels are NOT going to let pANcada play(unless subs) or be released early, there is ZERO way they are letting another T1 team have a world-class controller. pANcada basically cannot compete until 2025. This is literally WORSE than C9 yay as at least yay was released and could play tier2. pANcada can't even compete right now and has to sit out a year. He has to watch as his replacement plays on SEN all because he performed better while he was sick.
This is like PRX Benkai, but at least Benkai got to play some in a rotation system before getting benched where he presumably did some analysis work. pANcada is probably either going to be streaming or making strats for the team, which is probably very humiliating, going from playing in a successful system and having your role returned to doing work for your replacement.
SEN essentially took years of T1 competing from not 1 but two players. There are better ways of improving your team without shafting your players, but SEN cannot find it. SEN management don't really care about the livelihood of their players, only org success. They are improving the team at the cost of the careers of their players.
I might join the NRG bandwagon for kickoff. This feels absurd.

tldr sen snakes too many good players and idk if i still want to support the org

The moment rank resets its kind of over. A bronze playing well gets matched with a diamond not playing well, leading to a stupid mix of ranks making every game have stupidly unbalanced

Would you expect Ascent to be out of the map pool soon or reworked cuz of the stale meta

posted 4 months ago

as a certified low elo player, skye was very simple to play, low skill ceiling for initiators, however it doesnt really matter much because everyone below gold doesnt really care about comp as long as they have smokes. Nobody really cares about meta, so skye isn't really hated until meta becomes a part of the picture in terms of ranked.

The NRG roster is full of flexible players, if any team had this issue, NRG is best equipped to deal with it over teams such as LEV

Crashies' killjoy wasn't bad last year and cypher isn't that hard to play, if needed crashies will play sentinel and ethan on flash init
for example lotus comp
Victor raze
Demon1 omen/astra
Marved viper
Ethan skye
Crashies kj
The only thing to worry about is crashies being inexperienced on lurker, but i feel his skill is high enough to learn especially from his time with optc core

Mid is actually useable on breeze, icebox is two sites with a cosmetic mid that is used for my ranked teammates to leave open and have people in our spawn. its basically useless and the changes haven't really done anything to incorporate it into site takes. it is essentially 3 discrete parts.

noticed while playing ranked, switch door on A is automatically opened. not said in patch notes either. silent change?
imo good qol by riot, but OH MY GOD ICEBOX STILL SUCKS
