if shroud started playing valarant with his own team using his "brainlet" strats he would never make it out of mickey mouse tourneys and end up like ninja. it's kinda unfair he joins a team like sentinels as a tier 3 player while many talented players are just stuck in tier 2 teams not being able to shine because they are surrounded by worse players that just hold them back.
letting shroud play is like letting a world famous 50 yo retired football player play instead of a young talented one... all good to me up to the point sentinels pretend like they wanna make it somewhere for real...
