Truth about TenZ

lets be fr here tenz mvp'd their first match against 100t +18, they were completely lost against NRG, he was feeling god awful during the lev match and they still almost won that, they likely would've won if he was in his peak form like he was for the 100t game. also stop saying tenz only plays jett he has flexed to kayo and sage when his team has asked of him but primarily his role is to op, which is done best on jett which is why he plays so much jett. sure tenz has some problems like he tends to over heat or take bad fights but he knows this and so do coaching staff and this has gotten better, plus there are tons of pros who over peek especially on jett, even our savior zekken did today but no ones blaming him for anything (they shouldn't ofc). i think they might benefit from taking advantage of having marved for a map like pearl where double controller is so important and they might think about subbing him in, I'm very confident in kaplan's coaching after the short time he's had as head coach. say what you will about him being washed and what not if you don't have the attention span to read or are unable to comprehend complex ideas then leave your "stop reading at..." and "ain't reading allat" etc down there 👇 I appreciate it (also aspas is the best duelist itw @ me)

tldr: stop saying tenz is the problem because the problem isn't that simple

Is he playing against MIBR?

Is he playing against MIBR?

nope. he's missing the MIBR.. he's back after that (if Kaplan decides to bench marved)

He isn't the problem because he has so many problems rn we can understand that, but i gotta ask u did u really not find any problems with the way he plays since after Masters 1?

I mean 2022 was just sen not prac and having so many issues. to the point where it took tenz dropping 40 to get even 1 map .

tenz may not have been the problem but its undeniable SEN looked much better today - roles simply fit better without him imo

SEN last year was literally TenZ and friends. They couldn't win a map without him popping off

inconsistent as a fragger, i rather put him on 6th, when he really consistent he better than marved, when he sleeper he has 0 impact lul and worse than whole sen player.

I really don't think Tenz only playing Jett is a problem. When was the last time Aspas played any other agent? I can't remember. But can you imagine putting Aspas on Sage in Split? Whoever made this decision should be fired (they probably already were). I wish they would switch between Zekken and Tenz, but I guess that's not practical enough.

I think they should go back to tenz flash initiator, sage or jett on some maps and let zekken main duelist besides jett.

Or let's be hopeful and potentially say they might bench dephh

Tenz was the last thing from the issue in the old Sen roster, they won everytime he popped off and lost when he didn't. He was literally a yay but with a team that actually couldn't win without him

They could probably alternate between Zekken and TenZ on certain maps. Maybe Zekken on Raze maps. I see this roster working better as a fully utilized six-man. Marved is too good to be benched

TenZ should try learning KJ (so pancada can play smokes on certain maps), expanding his agent pool can't hurt when he's out of options

That's just because they have a smoker that can speak English tho, the root issue of the roles is caused by dephh who continuously isn't showing his value to the team. He's had 2 good maps out of how many maps now? He still continues to look so lost when his coach doesn't lay out an entire itinerary for the map in front of him. Dephh isn't suited to be an IGL, he has none of the qualities of one (in terms of skills in game).
If they swapped dephh for marved and had zekken or tenz flex onto sentinel every now and then (zekken kj, tenz sage) whenever Sen need double controller, the team would do amazingly

Yeah, there's been a trend of ex-jett mains switching to the sentinel, or at least playing the role more often (e.g. DubsteP, BuZz, & Ardiis). But they still switch back to Jett/Raze on some maps

The breach gameplay on haven was painful to watch. Like please don't play initiator at least if you don't plan to retire.

People are literally blind atm. Dephh on initiator is cancer. Like do they have an analyst? Like can we get some brains going around here instead of cloning another team's strat and running it down praying it would work sooner or later. Like pleaasee....

Tenz should switch to sentinel

you dont have to come here on vlr every week to write a thread about why a certain player is still good. if you are doing this, then this tends to point out the fact that your player is definitely not as good. thats all i'll say...
