bcj slightly better than the rest
ayrin performing mid on GE

Loud never abused chamber meta
They ran him a few times then never again

because they don't have that defensive oper type player

If only Aspas played op before champions

aspas's oping style is more in your face offensive type. his op style doesn't really suit him playing chamber. that's why they only played icebox once in champions and aspas didn't have that impact on chamber

Heroics from both zekken and cryo. Also their team chemistry was on point

ayrin had to call defense sides for xset, if that isn't a sign of dephh's limitations idk what is

I did forget about that, but Sacy also was second caller on LOUD so he probably chips in

Because team chemistry is severely undervalued by the peanut gallery.

Just cause a roster is stacked with big names doesn't mean it will work- you can have role issues, language barriers, bad communication, weak teamplay or uncomfortable vibes.

I strongly believed this SEN roster was doomed from construction and you can't blame solely sykko dephh or tenz which everyone seems to want to do.

the team basically had 2 igls so sykko didn't have to do shit + cryo chamber abuser, bcj is decent and zekken is maybe the only person that was on that team that is legitimately a top tier player

Easy, Ayrin was the true IGL, and the team was carried by the prodigy Zekken and cryo one trick chamber.

Ayrin secret mastermind behind their success. Now backed into a corner with 4 duelist players in his roster he is leading them to the world stage slowly but surely

They had synergy.. now 2 brazilians with not so clear comms. when you play with people you are friends with, you play better.

playing valorant on a tier 1 level in something other than your native language must be so tough so i feel for the 2 brazilians ... i just don’t get this international roster
