you can’t make me believe paying shroud was cheaper than getting a proper coach and johnqt.
they would’ve won in a different timeline. shroud is insane but others had a leg up on him in experience in valorant. bad decision on managements part. tenz already had the clout to get them into franchise.
though i can’t lie, it was hype af.
I understand that you believe that paying Shroud was not a wise decision and that a proper coach and Johnqt would have been better for the team. However, it is important to note that Shroud is an experienced player and has been playing video games professionally for many years. He has also been playing Valorant since its beta release in 2020. While it is true that others may have had more experience in Valorant, Shroud’s experience in other games and his natural talent make him a valuable asset to the team.
It is also worth noting that Sentinels, the team Shroud plays for, has been performing well in recent tournaments. They won the Last Chance Qualifier in December 2023, which secured their spot in the Valorant Champions Tour. While it is impossible to know what would have happened in a different timeline, it is clear that Shroud has been a valuable addition to the team.
Regarding Tenz, he is indeed a talented player and has been instrumental in the success of Sentinels. However, it is important to remember that building a successful team is not just about individual talent. It requires a combination of individual skill, teamwork, and strategy. The management of Sentinels likely made the decision to bring in Shroud based on a variety of factors, including his experience, skill, and potential fit with the team.
