SEN Expectations

Let’s be real, there’s some really good pieces here

But one glaring problem: why is Zellsis still on the team? He was obviously the reason SEN was outclassed at Champs, can’t compete mechanically with the rest of the players on his own team, and can’t fill the veteran shoes of TenZ and sacy

If SEN makes a single event with him, I’d be really shocked, which is sad considering the amount of talent around him

To Rob Moore: if you want someone to be annoying and give you brand recognition, I will show up on stage and be cringe for half the price, just hit my DMs and we’ll work something out

if reduxx can flex he probably takes the spot no?

every single person who has played with zellsis has said he is an incredibly good teammate and very useful and important to have on a team. not gonna lie, everyone on the sen team is kinda a small personality besides him and he needs to be there to make sure they don't get in their own head and tilted. also, he's not a bad player at all.

Gonna be tough to stay relevant without TenZ, shame that the majority of Valorant fans are appealed to by Zellsis’s brand of cringe content to the point where he can retain a tier 1 position without any of the skill or drive to back it up

N4RRATE WILL DRAG THE TEAM TO AN INTERNATIONAL LIKE WHAT HE DID WITH KC

didn’t you say the same thing last year? then they won madrid

Harder to qualify from a real competetive region

Real challenge will be dragging them though Americas qualifiers

michaelisupset [#6]

Yeah and he was still ass and they proceeded to be a nonfactor for the rest of the year

Zellsis is literally called "The Vibe Merchant' me personally as a fan isn't expecting him to perform, I just know that he's an amazing person to have as a teammate because he has a very fun personality. Also don't forget Zellsis on Icebox is different, thats the one map where hes insane on.

michaelisupset [#6]

But its like the Op said, Sentinels is without 2 veterans, Sacy (Played sen for 2y) And Tenz (Played sen for 4y).

Stilla a brand new team.

Yeah this is insane

It’s okay that he sucks because he’s exciting 💀

Where did real competition go, is this even a real esport? Or just a zoomer grift

you don’t need that many veteran players. look at heretics

1. They only have Zellsis whose idea of leadership is glazing carries in game

2. Heretics is fraudulent, will be confirmed when they don’t make a top 6 finish in any event this year

I stopped taking you seriously after you glazed nrg to no end

going 4-18 map 3 against team horrible and still having a job is impressive

babysasuke [#11]

Well at least hes insane on Icebox, thats a map not many people can say they are good at.

michaelisupset [#14]

That roster would have won it all if the format allowed for experimentation or anyone acknowledged that demon1 didn’t have the mentality to play raze at the highest level

HeIsTet [#16]

That map is ass, expected that ass players would master it

Babysasuke is hilarious. I vouch.

There’s definitely board meetings that weigh the monetary benefit of winning trophies against selling bundles

I just remember that map is leaving the map pool, well rip Zellsis. o7 (wait he was good on Split too though)

michaelisupset [#22]

SEN wouldn’t be a 1 tournament wonder if they had 5 tier 1 caliber players, embarrassment of North America

egann [#21]

If it was a playoff series clown9 wouldve went down quietly and given NRG the time they needed, unlucky timing

babysasuke [#25]

i agree with that, it's just disingenuous to say that to sentinels but then again it's dort so i'm just wasting my breath

babysasuke [#24]

won kickoff, madrid, and got fourth at champs. embarrassing!

no glaze but if it wasn't for zellsis sen wouldn't have accomplished anything this year, along with sacy bro literally brought tenz and zekken out of their shells which gave them so much confidence

didnt ask

SEN have enough firepower to be a trophy contenders.

Both Zekken and N4rrate are star fraggers while Bang has the potential to become one in the right system. Zellsis is one of the better flexes in the region and his intangibles definitely fill in the gaps for a team of young players. I’d like to see JohnQT regain his form but his IGLing is proven.

I’d say that their ceiling with this roster is a bit higher than their Madrid form.

dort [#31]

n1 fart 👊

Zellsis deserves his accolades but REDUXX for Zellsis and No Team is beating Sentinels. But he is besto friendso with Johnqt.
Once he gets dumped Sen will be great again

egann [#26]

Say what to Sentinels, that they don’t want it bad enough for me to feel comfortable with them representing North America?

This is half a roster, half contender half branding, it’s embarrassing

Strongest region in the world selling tournaments on purpose

Real competitors losing their jobs and Zellsis is still starting on the “NA superteam”

Pinkdice [#34]

Agree on all fronts 🫡

Not one to disavow accolades except for real fraudulent trophies (lock in)

fuck it make babybay into their flex player and replace zellsis, sen becomes 10x better

babysasuke [#7]

TRUE.

michaelisupset [#27]

Agreed, embarrassing as an NA team

We are supposed to win

A team with minibum made finals twice and a team with zellshits needed a pity seed for champs 💀💀💀💀💀

espeon [#37]

Don’t know if you’re serious but BABYBAY had trials on KAYO and I’m sure it was better than anything Zellsis has done

Every single person on that nrg roster said that it wasn’t going to work out. Who are you, a nobody with no background, no inside info, and no idea of what makes a roster good to say that nrg would have won anything. Act like an adult and stop raging all over vlr. You crying like a piss baby is going to make people listen to you less.

Sen was the only Americas team to make an international grand final this year, let alone winning one. What does this mean for Americas as a whole?

Unlucky year, forced roster reshuffle fucks us once again

If optic or faze could have stayed together NA would be the only relevant region in Valorant

Instead we get constantly fucked and Europe lets Asia win 2 trophies 😭😭😭

NA being the strongest region (by a large margin) makes mfs forget how good FaZe was

Little bit of a choker gene like C9 but with way more talent

Faze prime was back when Chamber was meta... uk the same period when OPTIC was good?

this is exactly what i was thinking, zellsis joined to be the 6th man anyway so maybe they are waiting until april or whenever reduxx turns 18 to think about it. Tenz, Tarik and Zellsis all costreaming and creating content for sentinels would make up for the lack of social presence the team would have and it would be an insane investment if SEN decide to put reduxx in

unless ur talking abt mummay, tigg and poised 💀

TiGG and mummay were tourists in a failing infrastructure

Decline happened post chamber nerfs when they couldn’t find a valid replacement for dicey

babysasuke [#4]

Idk, depends if SEN corporate wants to compete or keep brand building

Gonna be tough to stay relevant without TenZ, shame that the majority of Valorant fans are appealed to by Zellsis’s brand of cringe content to the point where he can retain a tier 1 position without any of the skill or drive to back it up

There's a reason SEN chose him over Pancada even though everyone thought Pancada was better at the time.

Pinkdice [#34]

People said this same shit last year with Pancada instead of Zellsis and they were 10x better with Zellsis.

babysasuke [#40]

Don’t know if you’re serious but BABYBAY had trials on KAYO and I’m sure it was better than anything Zellsis has done

There's a reason Zellsis is playing and Babybay isn't lmao.

Zellsis won a masters. And Babybay has done nothing.
