#1

MaTrix96

Let me get your thoughts on what value Zekken and/or Tenz brings compared to each other? Agent pool? Versatility? Impact?

zekken imo is a better entry player that sentinels need, he's versatile that can play any duelist agent comfortably

but I hecking love TenZ so I gotta go with TenZ sorry

The thing is tho having a zekken and a tenz on the same team is rlly useful cause if they actually try to use tenzs willingness to play on different agents they can have a fragger duo always on on every map. Reduces the potential for one of them feeling like they have to play great on every map.
Tenz has played so many agents in the past and the only 2 he's really tried and looked bad on were raze and chamber, both of which having exceptions to where he was going off against certain teams.
He's willing to play kayo, sage, maybe even other sentinels and initiators. Hes just never been given a chance to show his skill on those roles. He might be inconsistent but zekken I feel like is the exact solution to that problem. Zekken can always be the other player that frags for him when he isn't doing so well.
At the end of the day tho zekken is for sure the better player and has much more value.
Tenz is probably the worst on the Sen team rn (other than dephh ofc) but that's a given considering how good the players are on that team

+++ on Tenz OP. I feel like that is the best value Tenz can bring atm considering the success the current roster has rn. Other than that though, I don't know...

yeah but thats fucked
this is teh top leauge in the esport we want to see the best of the best no?
riot invited this org to create the best team they possibly could but they keep a player for clout. not really what they intended

you are right yes but it fucking sucks

I think it also depends on the org's goals. Look at LOUD and DRX wanting to win so they built the team with the best of the best. Compared to orgs that just want brand and sponsors so they end up with not so competitive rosters.

The problem is riot wanted another faker but in Valorant, so they give players who performed well on the early days of Valorant more clout. In my opinion they should be more grounded and focus their attention to the players doing well in the present instead of making narratives just for clout

It's not as if he's a horrible player tho. He's been really good for the team and even tho he might be inconsistent (which we have no proof of currently cause he's only played badly on 3 maps since the team was made) his peaks are higher than the others on the team other than maybe sacy rn with how clutch he's been.
Btw does no one else think that pancada should eventually be moved back to smokes considering how well sacy has been doing moved back to his old role. Pancada the other day when playing astra on split looked like he was activated

zekken has the potential to reach the level of derke. His raze is better and bigger agent pool than Tenz. OP can be better but it is not bad.

One of my most delusional takes:
I want to see Tenz try go Nivera. I have no clue how it will end but if he can play an untraditional opping role on a team that would otherwise lack a star op then it might go well. I dont know who gets benched, I dont know if its the best option but rn he's too inconsistent to be playing an entry role and is lowkey looking like keloqz

This Sentinels line up would look so different if Chamber was still meta. TenZ perma Chamber whilst Zekken entry? Would actually look hella good

TenZ clears in terms of clout.

He is still a good player though

Zekken is very good at entrying. Needs to work on his Jett and operator skills compared to other duelists.

Overall, I would take TenZ because of the large amount of clout he brings to an organization, this clout naturally translates to profits, and TenZ is a good flex and an improving player.
