Throwing in a bunch of shit T2 LATAM talents at sentinel when you can add a decent talent like tex who actually has potential is dumb.

LEV can increase their English Brazillian fanbase in one offseason and people are crying because they didnt sign a twerp who got bullied by tex at ascension. Please be serious right now lol

Who wants lev to suck? the future of all valorant teams should be to speak english because it uniforms opportunities for everyone, this spanish only shit or portuguese only works but when latam doesnt have the talent to build a roster like that it sucks, theres no way lev can win a champions with just spanish speaking players, and its a fact.

He’s right tho, they pretty much decided to go international as soon as Aspas was available So why pick up some trash can just cuz he can speak spanish?

How can he be washed when he just won ascension beating two of your best T2 teams and the 2nd best NA Asc team, if he's washed then your whole T2 scene is washed as well bruv.

so you are mad latam wants latam talent instead of NA talent (if we can call tex who is on his 25´s talent) we have enough F/A names and if we point towards signed players the list is wider but our problem isnt not signing a spanish speaking player, they are basically betting on a language swap, this roster looked strong short term with shyy, now its a long term bet with tex because players went from 1 year of competing on spanish to compete on english for the first time, while trying to get along with tex even though their english isnt that fluent to start casual conversations with him, you act as if native english speakers dont struggle on comms imagine 3 (actually 4 with aspas) people who have never commed on english on a tier 1 environment before, if sacy and pancada (sacy was fluent af btw) struggled what makes you think lev isnt going to have issues, specially since it wont be 2 players trying to communicate with other 3 and staff (sentinels case) but 4 players trying to get along with a isolated german american.

Pretty sure aspas forces English anyways, I speak português and I speak Spanish. It’s very easy to pickup basic things but hard comms are still gonna be hard, crying about a language change is whatever, do u want aspas or not.

tell me right now what latam player is better than tex, id say shyy was good enough and probably the closest but it looks like they wanted someone else there lol

feniz 20yo from costa rica, former daveeys teammate was known as the promise of the north, was set to join kru with him last year but got contract jailed for 100k dollars so they brought daveeys, feniz was known as the best player on that team and his main role was sentinel when xolos got their biggest dub (beating kru on a bo3 on a LAN latam qualifier)

https://www.vlr.gg/78791/e-xolos-lazer-vs-kr-esports-champions-tour-latin-america-stage-1-playoffs-ubqf

this year his stats weren that big because he changed his entire playstyle since his coach atom left the team at the start of the vcl season to join kru, but he still got some insane plays and carried entire matches that mattered a lot, his team got 2nd place behind fusion and couldnt go to LAN but they managed to win the 1st split with him being the mvp of his team on that match
https://www.vlr.gg/186047/fusion-vs-six-karma-challengers-league-latam-north-ace-split-1-gf

he is currently free agent and he also has a fluent english because he plays ranked on NA, he was playing duos with another player who a lot of people recogizes as the next promise (fusion darker) i´d also say he is good enough to join lev since he also speaks english but he has the same problem feniz got the last year sadly, a 80k buyout

bro you dont even know if tex will be good on sentinel unlike these players i think its safer to hire these than tex there might be another reason because they didnt even trial with tex to start with (lev did their tryouts on argentina, like 200 ms of difference between there and NA so its impossible for them to do trials with him, they just signed him for recomendation or anything like that)

Even if a lot of things sounds like bait, i take the language point as a good topic. Not saying that it has to be that way only, but it's a fair point. That could open doors for players to play in international teams (i know that's just one factor for a player to leave his country and play, but still).

"when brazil or latam don't have the talent"? you are talkiing about tex not s1mple. There are many players as good as him in latam/br scene. Lev did this move to improve their brand, that's the only reason I see to hire him.

People underestimate the buyout issue.

If it’s true that feniz had 80k buyout and you can instead pay tex 80k for the whole year….. why wouldn’t you pick Tex?

Latam fucked themselves out of a regional team by making buyouts infeasible.
