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.
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
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"
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
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.
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.
