this means they can keep their white roster and remove their blue roster. become the face of female gamers in valorant... like team secret in EU CS and CLG Red in NA CS. Who are they you ask? Exactly...

Valorant is allowing teams to have a female roster alongside their female roster so idk what you're talking about. Also this is TenZ stepping away not being removed as a part of C9's scheme to rule the female Valorant scene

Why? lol because I said TenZ stepping down was not part of a plan to make the C9W team the main C9 roster? The only women's basketball I have seen is the 2018 NCAAW championship while I was in San Antonio(to watch the men's championship) at a Buffalo Wild Wings lol. But no you can check my logs I hate how they have to make exclusively female teams because that's not equal treatment since the main rosters are inclusive to men and women.

Team Secret dropped their female roster like a year ago, and that roster core has been tossed around several orgs for the past few years. They signed a weird all-male team a few months back but it didn't work out and they're out of the CS scene right now.

CLG Red and Dig.fe are both special edge cases, because they're both primarily funded by sponsors and act more as brand ambassadors for the organizations and their sponsors in many ways, rather than just purely competitive teams.

Tbh , I never believed he could achieve anything ,especially if LANs where possibilities in 2021. It's a huge loss for c9 as competitors but TenZ is not a fierce competitor .

Can't say I saw this coming. Hopefully he will make a return to the competitive scene once LAN returns and hopefully it's with a better team this time.

One of the best player in the game steps down from his team. Sad news for competitive arena but happy for him that he is pursuing the things he really wants. Wish him best luck!

Good move by him, pointless when you are a big streamer like he is to be a pro unless you really love competing

Long practice hours and can't stream during those + streaming you will have no time to live a life, that's why ace never went pro either

I wouldn't be surprised if Wardell does it too because his schedule is insane, i doubt the man even leaves his house but he said he loves competing so idk

This mentality is the reason why NA esports will never achieve anything. Money over everything, even honor.

When you say NA you also insult s2k, which is unacceptable. Came for a very similar situation from Tenz and eventually won a major and a grand slam. NA can reach the top as they have before. It doesn't help that kids like Tenz are non-competitors and don't wanna put in the work to win.

Money over everything? So you think he was making big bucks to play for C9? If his mentality was money over everything he would just stream and play competitively. You do realize that these are people and not robots right? They have lives, they can feel emotions, they can get burnt out. The man his been playing since beta and was 1 of the first pro players signed. All of this just to never win even though he has been the best player in the game.

exactly, plus he's playing out of vancouver canada with 60 ping compared to everyone else. it's tough when he can't play to his potential. he has mentioned coming back when covid is over, so we can only hope that's sometime soon.

"f his mentality was money over everything he would just stream and play competitively" that's literally what he's doing ?????
"You do realize that these are people and not robots right? They have lives, they can feel emotions, they can get burnt out" got burnout with his 8 month career? Lmaooo big excuses coming from gold diggers

He's the best pugstar i agree, also makes great content for his 13yo viewers

Big bucks? OG 2014 C9 made less than 1k a month in CS. Shroud's first paycheck was something like $750. Tenz easily was making 10k. Burn out? Another Canadian aim god Twistzz played online CS for a WHOLE YEAR ON 60 PING. When did valorant start? April? June? That's barely 9 months. The kid didn't know how to play well with others, disliked both his IGLs, doesn't wanna experience growing pains so he ran and said maybe he'll be back, most likely for a better team. He plays maybe a total of 8hrs a day which is on the low side for pros and half of that is for streaming. He's smart, he knows streaming and raising his platform will be more profitable. Tenz is a kid with no honor, he's no s2k. Maybe he'll want to join when TL retires and moves to valorant, but I assure you that s2k will never allow tenz to be on his team with that kind of mentality.

Yeah let's compare how much people made in cs 7 years ago to how much pros in Valorant make today... Not to mention did you see how much money C9 is paying their cs roster so if you want to compare prices don't go back 7 years instead of looking at last year. TenZ definitely doesn't get paid half of what some of C9's cs players are making but I'm sure he's still making at least $100k/year.

that's because riot says orgs can only have one team so C9 and T1 both dropped their Korean rosters in favor of their US market teams. Essentially Riot killed those scenes.

Yes? EU teams are also dropping like flies, announcements are being delayed and it seems like EU orgs have already pulled off this game.

EU teams are dropping like flies? You mean the unsigned teams like nolpenki? EU orgs have already pulled off this game yet Vitality just entered and no big orgs have left the scene...
