I think tenz omen flash is probably best in the world
its amazing how they utilize his flash even in eco /trap plays his flash get so much value they play around his flash in lot of rounds
gotta give kaplan lot of credit he really transformed him
I used to think he only had insane aim but these last few tourneys really changed my opinion he is one of the best right now
If you only learned now that tenz is a smart player then I am sorry but you haven't been watching his games closely, you were just following the community narrative. TenZ has always been a smart player but he is very aggressive with his timings. If he sees an opening, if he sees a trade, if he sees the opportunity to make a play he will take it 100% of the time but obviously sometimes things don't go as you envisioned or may be his prev teammates couldn't keep up with that pace and energy but people would always blame him for it.

nah I dont agree the current tenz is his best form he was never this good with teamplay timings and util
I dont follow community narrative if someone is good I will praise them but saying tenz was always a player he is right now is straight up cap
kaplan and current team helped him alot
Hynix [#3]mako's paranoia usage is the reason he consistently tops the charts for assists
this is undebatable
real ones know sscary is the best

I dont know maybe recency bias but everytime I watch tenz paranoia he gets so much value its huge part of their retakes sets taking space and they usually get success with that
uwukitten [#7]omen flash usages are set plans made by the team beforehand 90% of the time
I agree thats why I gave credit to kaplan but tenz paranoia gets so much value compare to other teams I feel like I might be wrong

Nope Rey55 is completely right
Even tenz on jett would take aggressively his timings just wouldn't go his way not because of his teammates necessary but their playstyle the way johnqt calls and his role on omen supports that play style of him
The way he sees an opening and takes it is a one of the best in the world is almost unmatched he sees and reads the game very well
uwukitten [#7]omen flash usages are set plans made by the team beforehand 90% of the time
90% of Tenz flash’s are on the fly, idk if he’s the one calling it or someone asks for it but he is the best itw at positioning then using flash’s mid round
tomato211222 [#9]Nope Rey55 is completely right
Even tenz on jett would take aggressively his timings just wouldn't go his way not because of his teammates necessary but their playstyle the way johnqt calls and his role on omen supports that play style of him

so how is he right you are playing different pace compare to your team and its not like they just randomly just hop on game server they scrim alot so tenz knew playstyle of their team mate and why do you think they switched his role
you are saying the way he was dying was smart but it didnt go his way does it make sense for you ?
Pengu12 [#10]90% of Tenz flash’s are on the fly, idk if he’s the one calling it or someone asks for it but he is the best itw at positioning then using flash’s mid round
lot of time I feel like its on the fly even in 2v3 situation his flashes are insane and on thrifties one of the huge reason they win is because of tenz flashes

paranoia is the strongest "flash" ability in the game
all of the top teams know how to integrate it into their retakes
not discrediting tenz, but the main determinant should be how they use it on the fly
(which for the record is nowhere close to 90%)

nah I noticed lot of team either waste their paranoia like on sunset marved was using it to stop a push where as tenz was saving the flash for either retake or to make set plays
also when marved was flanking on that same map he used flash but got insta countered by tenz flash so his flash util was def better than marved that match
tuyz also wasted lot of flash on one instance I remember vs sen on split he just flashes a elbow but no one pushed with that
Hynix [#3]mako's paranoia usage is the reason he consistently tops the charts for assists
this is undebatable
mako's ult and tps are also mindblowing
ive learned some of mako's ult spots and caught opponents off guard every single time in ranked

you are entitled to have your opinion but playing a support role like Omen requires you to play somewhat safe and that's exactly what he's doing. His intuition of the game was always there but you just get to see it now because of his support utility, on jett it wasn't that obvious.

context is important? for the record, i don't remember these rounds, but if the omen is going to die if they don't stop/slow down a push, then it's definitely worth using--what's the point of saving it if you're going to die?
also, using it at a chokepoint, if your team is almost rotated would be even better than using it for retake, since even if you have a really good retake it's still better to not let them plant at all.
fardeengg [#11]so how is he right you are playing different pace compare to your team and its not like they just randomly just hop on game server they scrim alot so tenz knew playstyle of their team mate and why do you think they switched his role
you are saying the way he was dying was smart but it didnt go his way does it make sense for you ?
it's not upto team's playstyle. If you don't take necessary timings you just lose so it's not like a different playstyle would have made them win. He is the type of player that would rather look like a fool than miss the timing and regret it later. You can't win games by sitting in your spawn the whole time. 'PLAY IT SAFE' crowd doesn't understand that.
cboomer [#5]real ones know sscary is the best
Lineup Larry. His aim carried him to a million dollar contract.
uwukitten [#7]omen flash usages are set plans made by the team beforehand 90% of the time
And that's why 90% of the players don't get much value from it.

am just saying he doesnt need to play in positions like that when he have to use paranoia to stop the push and after that leave the site and just wait for you team to arrive
if you remember nrg match they were playing heavy a retake so I dont see the point of wasting flash when he can one way and spot and just double tp to get out
and I just rewatched some round where marved saved the paranoia for retake but when he used it again it got insta countered by tenz

nah but his timings were bad you and other guys saying things didnt go his way play was good but it happened so many times how can you justify that I mean I cant change your opinion and you cannnot change mine so am just gonna let it rest
tsmsobadholy [#22]meat riding is crazy
lmao I dont even like sen I was just looking at their matches and I found their omen paranoia value was insane compare to other teams
