Bench TenZ | VLR.gg

#1

Why can’t he just be a streamer for Sentinels? Why are you putting a washed Jett player on the starting five to flex/controller when you literally have Pancada and Zellsis? Is it not better to have a great flex, and a top 5 smoke of all time in the roster instead? You sign a Brazilian duo to form an NA x Brazil superteam but make the dumb decision to not let go of the weak point of the team.

yes bench the player with this performance
tenz is clearly the problem. he’s sitting too high on the scoreboard.

A controller player lurks nearly as much as the sentinel, usually teams will run a 1-3-1 default where smokes and sentinel hold extremities and/or lurk

Couple that with Pancads ineffectiveness with English comms and his tendencies for mistakes and mis-comms it's a no brainer he was benched

Cloud 9 vs Sen wasn’t a bad performance just cause he went negative, he had insane util on kayo even if he wasn’t fragging out

He had the best performance on the team in lev vs Sen 🤣, ofc taco would do better if he has a good game and wins 26 - 12 even then Tenz was holding his own

So pretty much only 2 bad games

why would you bench a player that brings in viewership to the esport?
it doesnt really matter if Sentinels wins or lose because at the end of the day TenZ brings in numbers and thats what matters

Because when he was not playing the esport did not change? The idea that he brings viewership to the esport fucking died a year ago, we have eu fans, latam fans, apac fans, china fans, and non NA tenz fans as well.

Having like 1% of the community lost wont affect VCT at all

better fragging
better comms
better flex
more creative than zellsis as a flex
but still bench him sure
pancada is great and better than tenz at the controller role but you dont need great controllers to form a winning team a decent controller is enough. jawg showed this to us literally few months ago

Zellsis is clearly a better flex
Pancada can literally frag
Zekken is obviously a better duelist
Sacy is already the initiator
Johnqt is an igl

a roster of Pancada, Sacy, Zekken, Johnqt, and Zellsis is CLEARLY better

better based on what? your opinion? I’m pretty sure there is a reason why Zellsis is starting and pAncada isn’t but it’s not as simple as stuff like ‘Pancada can literally frag’. I’m sure the sentinels coaches know more than we do and if you think you do, become a valorant coach

Tenz does lack in modern valorant game sense in some ways. However it is undeniable that he is still one of the most mechanically gifted players in the game. But you also have to think of it from an org/business standpoint kinda. Tenz brings sentinels a SHIT ton of fans and revenue. If he isn't necessarily throwing or losing games in spectacular fashion, why would you get rid of him? Plus there are alot of signs atm of him improving. I forgot where I heard this (most likely Sideshow or someone else on Plat Chat), but Tenz being on a flex role, learning new agents, gives him the ability to adapt to and learn alot more game sense that he lacks compared to others.

These EMEA fans when they realize Pancada is a great player but isn't a team player, and theres still doubters saying his Omen is shit when he had 32 on Omen beating DRX and is consistently 2nd on the team in assist and ACS.

wtf does "isn't a team player" mean, every player mostly plays in whatever way the team intends for them to play and tenz isn't known for being some great morale booster or something
and you're comparing the smokes champs mvp to a guy who did well on smokes in AFREECA TV AND SEN INVITATIONAL LMFAO, can't even make this shit up

We really still bringing up champs 2022, like that shit wasn't nearly 2 years ago and the meta has shifted drastically since then, then we use the excuse Pancada had to change roles and play KJ, like he didn't play Viper aswell, and KJ and Omen have simmilar playstyles they are both hard anchors. He's been insanely inconsistent last year the worse rated sentinel player in all of VCT, which isn't good since you have players who've never touched T1 playing last year like Ban from T1 etc.

Ah yes, the classic "this professional player is not who I want therefore they are shit" bit.

Both are good players, both provide their own value. The reason you don't see actual pros constantly have takes like these is because just like you, they'd be talking out of their ass.

Player personalities contribute massively to the environment which has a huge influence in the progression of the team. Some personalities are more beneficial some are more detrimental, some have bits of both. It is up to the team/coaching staff to determine what fits their vision best and therefore-who to keep on the active team.

I don't know anything too specific about it and neither do you, so quit yapping and move along.
