I'll be honest, shahzam doesn't get spoken about a lot nowadays, but the man said himself that this is his first time not being on a starting roster after years and years of his career..

he got scapegoated by sen and their fans. they blamed him for everything when they didn’t understand the shitshow that was sen management and sicks situation. all the responsibility of igl, coach and analyst fell on him and yet y’all questioned his work ethic.

he also played amazingly on g2 while the other players didn’t show up.

shame he’s not getting a chance.

He didn't ask for help and instead ignored his responsibilities by streaming 8 hours a day.

He gets rightfully blamed.

????

he asked for soo much help. he asked for seangares, kaplan.. and even wanted johnqt over shroud.
yet management did nothing bc they didn’t want to shell out money or wanted the clout.

you guys don’t know anything yet blame him.

the team had just won masters, I'm pretty sure anybody he'd have asked would immediately take up the offer.

His accomplishments aren’t talked enough. If it wasn’t for him Sentinels wouldn’t even be Sentinels. It was him who brought them on the map of Valorant. I know tenz dickriders will say it was cause tenz was carrying them but it was also shahz strats.

He was the one who was playing the role of coach, igl and analyst and was among the first few who understood the game and also was the one who recommended Tenz to Sentinels. It was his decision to get tyson

Sick was pretty bad ass too. But my point is Valorant isn’t a game of all aim, it’s about strats. Shahzam was one of the few who understood the game early on and was doing almost everything,

shahz, tenz, sick, dapr, zombs.

the roster that brought a lot of fans and people into comp valorant. shahz did so much for sen yet the fans don’t respect or acknowledge all that he did.

He didn’t defend Sinatraa his own teammate(but also did not take a stance against him), he called out zombs for being bad, and honestly his just not a genuine person so his own fans don’t like him.

If your friend was accused of Rape allegations and your job and your well-being was on the line, would you back him up?

No one in their right mind would.

If my friend was accused of committing a crime and he told me he didn’t do it you bet your ass I’d defend him. Are you kidding me?

Word of advise people lie, but if you can’t trust your friends you might not have friends.

It's not that he was just accused bro she brought receipts of her clearly saying stop and the mf didn't stop.
Sinatraa then said he had the entire video and would cooperate and then didn't cooperate, probably bc his lawyer saw/heard the video and said it looks bad for him.

What innocent person won't cooperate after stating they had the video? If my friend claimed they had proof they were innocent and didn't show it to anyone I would think that was sketchy and weird. So you have one side with evidence and one side without.

Word of advice just bc someone is your friend does not mean they are always right, don't defend ppl who are guilty just bc they are your friend and say "the evidence makes them look bad but I swear they have evidence that they won't show anyone that proves they are innocent"

Yo explain to me how you can unconsent while he’s already inside you, and you say it in a playful baby voice.

You’ve never been in a relationship and it shows.

It’s kinda his fault he’s got a bad rep in the scene and doesn’t work well with others. Also he’s been given many opportunities to prove himself on G2 and SEN.

All I gotta say is that no tier 1 player streams every day for good reason. If you wanna stay at the top you gotta work like it. Shaz is comfortably mid and no team wants that.

Considering esports is a complicated market, do you really blame him. One year you’re on the top and the next year you’re fighting for your place in the scene. It’s a dead throat market.

Plus age is a very important aspect in Esports. You gotta diversify and build other avenues for yourself, if you want to survive in this market.

I don’t blame him if he streamed everyday, at least he has build his fanbase, who’d watch him, regardless of how he plays

I don’t blame in actuality it’s really smart of him, but you don’t want to bet your chances on a streamer.

Look at EG absolute grinders who bulled their way to the top. Shaz just doesn’t have the dog in him. Tier 1 teams want dogs.

True though. Shahz has actually lost his hunger as well. Since he knows he can make almost double with streaming and other collaborations

Streaming for pros is like OF for chicks. Why try for greatness when you can just pimp yourself online for way more money.

I respect the dedication involved in being the best no matter how much money you make.

And what is this "reason" no tier 1 players stream every day? Maybe cause they can't get to 100 viewers?

I see Cryo streaming, Zellsis, Tenz, even Johnqt started streaming -- it makes 0 sense to say streaming is at fault when he literally just plays the same game he's pro at.

All other tier 1 players don't stream because they do other things with their life or can't get to a decent viewership/can't be bothered to work on it. Shahzam does it because he knows it helps his brand and also gets him some extra income.

That guy is waffling lol, streaming is crucial to your image as a pro player and an asset to why a team should pick you up, zellsis flamed many pros for not streaming and stated reasons for it that you can just go on youtube and watch

not just this but having another source of income if things go to shit (like shahz, where his proplay career looks pretty bleak rn) is always good

Sorry to say but 1 it’s the offseason so of course they are streaming. Also no one you named is a representation of a winner in tier 1 yet.

No offense and I mean this in the nicest way because I respect Shahz's career but if his streams are any indication of how he has been practicing or performing in scrims? He's got soooooo lazy. That's the only way I can describe it. Walk clears angles, sprays into smokes with vandals and just a total disregard for positioning... snap out of it. Try.
