Kyedae just said that there's going to be an update on TenZ that she can't really say. She said that in a monotonous voice. The previous update from SEN was that he was gonna come back after the super-week so if there's another update on him then it has to be something reverse to the initial decision. Still, it's just an assumption but something is coming up soon.

hanafuuji [#4]u analyze if someone's gonna be playing based off of their girlfriend's tone of voice?
tbf what else would it be?
If his hand got worse she'd be able to say it

Benching their 2nd best player wtf is going on
Bro hasnt been their second best in a while, and the comp makes more sense with Zekken as a fragger and the rest of the team working well around them. If anything changes it'll see Zekken benched as TenZ has been in the team longer, but with Zekkens good form and two really good matches from the current roster without TenZ, he deserves to be benched

I get why the coaching staff made that decision tho. But honestly their decision to put sacy and panc on weird roles fked up their structure in the first place also tenz played horribly compared to his normal level.

Are you like a 5yr old or something? People online have solved dark mysterious cases before based on unapparent clues. This is just some common sense stuff. Also, I said it's an assumption.
Faraday [#7]tbf what else would it be?

I mean it could be the announcement of tenz returning?
Faraday [#6]somewhat expected,
wasn't sure if Rob Moore would actually go through with it
but ig tenz will still be a content creator for them which is prob better for them tbh
May be for now it's fine but the question is whether he wants to stay in CC cz he doesn't enjoy streaming nor playing ranked. Also, I don't know how him doing CC helps SEN, dude doesn't even stream often! TenZ is not an entertainer, his appeal is just being insane in the game.

hope not, would love to see him play in a different team even if it's tier 2. I doubt TenZ cares about money enough to be a 6th man and if you watch his streams you'd know he still has that competitive drive
hanafuuji [#11]I mean it could be the announcement of tenz returning?
yeah ig it could be a bait from her
hanafuuji [#11]I mean it could be the announcement of tenz returning?
I feel like if tenz is staying there wouldn’t be any need for secrecy tho and she would just say it outright

His contract is only till this year so he prolly stays till then

Benching their 2nd best player wtf is going on
2 best players in Sentinels rn are Sacy on initiator and Marved.
I think it’s best for tenz to take a step back to heal up both physically and mentally. He should not have to push himself through this grieving period for the sake of playing. Sen will take care of him and their roster was built in a way that doesn’t rely on any one playe, so this is a great opportunity for him to take a break without the guilt (not that he should feel guilty, regardless in this situation)
ax0788 [#26]if they wantbest chance to win, they should bench him 100%
There is no reason to suggest TenZ is a hindrance to winning. Although I understand that he can be volatile and high maintenance at times but it's worth it for the most part. However if SEN has found a perfect formula without him then it's understandable but I am not sure yet. Their current team is too reliant on marved rn and they are going through a honeymoon period. I wonder how they would fair against top teams once rest of the teams figure SEN out.
h786 [#5]cmon man at least bench dephh, if ur gonna bench tenz, u have to bench dephh, just for me, a poor lil sen fan/hater 🥹
then who tf plays
h786 [#5]cmon man at least bench dephh, if ur gonna bench tenz, u have to bench dephh, just for me, a poor lil sen fan/hater 🥹
No one else besides dephh can igl
Manaphy [#3]*5th best
Fixed it for you
5th is a stretch.
tho i think sen are way better with marved in, just bc everyone (besides pancada) is on there comfort role. and it shows.

I think he is a hindrance to team roles, and also hasn't been playing well for a while now. I don't see why they would bring him back.....

“haven’t been playing well for a while now”
he had second highest ACS week 1 of the season.
week 2, the WHOLE team was playing like shit.
week 3 he was sick.
so one bad game against NRG??? just one ..bad game

ikr and also its not tenz fault that their roles are messed up either, its just dephh wants to play initiator and smokes instead of sentinel (WHICH HE WAS SIGNED FOR ORIGINALLY BTW) to igl better meanwhile saadhak is doing a better job at it while playing senti AND duelist but ofc everything is tenz's fault
noxx [#41]ikr and also its not tenz fault that their roles are messed up either, its just dephh wants to play initiator and smokes instead of sentinel (WHICH HE WAS SIGNED FOR ORIGINALLY BTW) to igl better meanwhile saadhak is doing a better job at it while playing senti AND duelist but ofc everything is tenz's fault
i swear he be catching strays

So who would you swap out for tenz?
mocaxoxo [#42]i swear he be catching strays
tenz should be on the main roster IF he can and wants to, I still think they will have a higher ceiling if they have him on the team
Manaphy [#43]So who would you swap out for tenz?
idk man... i love all of them...
it’s just funny to me when franchise was announced, they said the team was built around tenz and then they messed up the roles. then they wanna bring back sacy on initiator when tenzs is on break..
all so hilarious to me
Manaphy [#43]So who would you swap out for tenz?
Only a Zekken and TenZ swap would make sense since they both play duelist, but Zekken has been performing consistently while T0nZ has not.
Manaphy [#43]So who would you swap out for tenz?
I won't deny they look really good rn but I feel like they would still be really good if dephh just switches to sentinel and everyone plays their comfort role, so marved out, tenz in IMO but ik it makes sense to have marved in rn

tenz said he is having a hard time focusing, so its more than covid and his hand injury
(here is a clip, if someone wants to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ2eCvy2D3Y)
i think he needs a mental break to get back on his feet and be back stronger.
it must be really hard to focus on competitive matches while your partner is fighting against cancer.
i think tenz being benched for a while is the best decision for everyone: tenz, sentinels (org) and the team
edit: tenz is a good player and a nice person, i am rooting for him and kyedae. i hope they can overcome all this shitty situation
edit 2: it also gives time to think about a long term plan. be it rotating the 6 players according to maps/games/tatics, be it someone else IGLing and benching dephh, or whatever else they wanna cook
widepeepofrosty [#33]No one else besides dephh can igl
Man, they need a new IGL. Imagine this team with a good NA IGL. They’d be absolutely unstoppable.

RockawayKidz [#58]Clip?
Didn't clip it but she said soon so you can expect an announcement at the end of the day or tomorrow
jackb2016 [#60]Well i think zekken, marved, sacy, and pancada area all better
100% agreed. tenz is defo better than dephh tho, thats also inarguable.
i feel tenz has maybe lost some confidence/ still has the feeling, he HAS to carry, else the team loses (from the old iteration). tenz did, imo, show his ability/potential in the first game against 100T. outside-factors are surely also not helping.

agreed, but then why is 5th a stretch
jackb2016 [#63]agreed, but then why is 5th a stretch
bc hes miles better than dephh, just ability-wise. also i feel, tenz could be the best player in that roster, on his day. may just be cope tho.

trouble focusing is because of covid and being sick its normal
jackb2016 [#68]yes but since sacy zekken marved and pacada are better than him...he is the 5th best...
ohhh, yea. with dephh out and marved in, tenz is defo the 5th. thought he meant the "normal" roster, that included dephh.
Strafe7 [#28]Seems like a good move. The issue is kind of the same with c9 I feel like (different circumstances but similar result). Both teams lose a player that is very talented amidst role issues to create a more solid team structure.
role issues is cause of dephh, although I agree with the decision, dephh was supposed to play sentinel but moved over to initiator,
