Shahzam

Unpopular opinion, but I think Shahz is fine as an IGL. I think the issue with Shahz is that he doesn't have someone else to bounce ideas off of/provide fresh stuff during the game. When watching the games during LCQ, it is clear that they have interesting ideas and set plays, but there were many times when it looked like he ran out of ideas and no one else on the team could help out. I think they should target someone like zander so they could both split the duties. Both are mechanically good and zander can provide fresh stuff alongside the structure Rawkus has in place with Shahz. Thoughts?

At kickoff he is going to be the one who knocks

It’s like with TSM, Subroza and GMD will make the call on respective sides, Attack and defence

I can see it worked well with SEN playstyle

Exactly. Shahz is fine. Not good. Not bad. Just fine. There is better, that is everyone’s point rn. Also, they need a better coach.
But no one will ever be replaced in the SEN circlejerk of course

He's a fine IGL IF and ONLY IF he puts in the time and prioritizes competitive over streaming.

Also he's just mediocre at best on initiator. Put him on Jett/Chamber and let him OP.

Love him or hate him he's one of the best OPs NA.

Yes, Shaz is fine. He doesn't deserve the hate he's getting and at this point, he's becoming super underrated.

idk man... I think before franchising yeah, very difficult for them to replace someone, but now anything can happen

Underrated is already too much.

Super underrated is just delusional.

he is pretty underrated at this point. people are forgetting how good of an IGL and a player he really is

ShahZam is 100% a franchising IGL

why everyone says zander he stoped igling for v1 at the end and effys took over

the downvotes on your post is just the example of undeserved hate on him.

Sen lacked structure this past year but that is not Shaz's fault alone. Going forward they just need a new Smokes player with the past 4 core player and they'll be top contenders.
