Tarik and Friends

#1

I Have been Tarik's fan for years but bro is it annoying when every mistake he is like "That's unlucky", or "That's unfortunate". No lil bro, the player made a mistake and got punished.

Edit: People this isn't about bias. That ship sailed when he became part of Sen. Nothing wrong with that. I am talking about specific players mistake being called "unlucky" which is annoying.

Nothing bad about being biased about the org you are part of but I did not like his move to Sen at all. He could have been easily the face of the whole VCT but now being part of Sen prevents that. Hoping that he at least got the bag

He pulls more viewers than any other cc in VCT, seems like he already is the face of VCT

Not officially. He represents Sen in VCT events when goes to watch the matches, not the VCT or Riot.

Viewership wise he is quite literally the face of VCT, what do you mean he doesn't represent Riot?

hes already pretty financially stable
also i just dont get why he has such a huge fanbase like 130k viewers on twitch unless those fans came from his cs days
if im being honest tarik isnt even as good as the average radiant player
his aim is subpar and his movement is average
i js never really understood why ppl like this guy so much

He is entertaining and has a bit of zoomer humour which I like. He embraces memes and doesn't disagree with chat a lot.

tarik is much better at the game than the average radiant. He definitely isn’t tier 1 level nor tier 2 level but if he really wanted to be he probably could play in tier 2

theres literally nothing about his game that makes him stand out from the average radiant player he does everything that hes supposed to do and thats it. not to mention his aim is kind of below average for someone who was to play in tier 2

He is very fun to watch when other teams are playing. Nobody said he isn't entertaining.

True

Its also annoying how much he calls out other players for their mistakes and criticizes them, but when SEN isn’t performing he has an excuse or is quiet

Its also annoying when he is surprised when APAC beats NA

Its like he doesn’t believe these APAC teams can be good

The point isn't about being biased. The point is about calling a player's mistake as unlucky (in reality it's just copium)

He is doing that so that the player doesn't get flack.Or could be that he isn't necessarily paying that much attention to see what they did wrong.U gotta remember tarik has a huge viewership,so he stays as much out of trouble as he can.He does'nt even say anything controversial ever.He is pretty straight laced,so he doesn't call out the mistakes either.

Did you forget about Angel and Havoc. He doesn't hold back because of flack. He holds back because, maybe he feels obligated to, because he is part of Sen.

did u mean towards sen?then it makes even more sense.He knows how many eyes are on sen.If he says anything negative its gonna be even worse than it already is. There are some fans that have literal subhuman iq,so u gotta be careful.

i've watched tarik since the rank s days, and i can tell you that his watchparties are pretty ass lmao

i realized that he just turns his brain off when he does it and just repeats the same few phrases with some variation. the other guys in the call like s0m or fns sometimes do that but generally they react to what's going on and talk about it (prob bc they played pro recently)

i don't hate the guy for it, get the bag, its just not interesting

I watch the main stream for SEN games usually but no one here is even taking into account how tarik is close friends with the players on SEN? It's not just bias for the org, why would he flame players he films videos with regularly? Use some common sense here, anyone would stay quiet in that spot.

bro he is not an analyst or a coach to be as critical of the players.. he just tries to be positive about it.. also he does mention if a play is bad or not. all it looks like is you want a reason to be mad about.

Don't forget that Tarik is a real life person and is allowed to cheer for or not cheer for or react to anyone he wants the same with you. He's not some robot or duly deputized upholder of neutrality. He streams the games for fun, the bag, and contract with SEN and people watch him to watch with him 😅 not for him to be an unbiased commentator. In other words, you're not obligated to watch him and he's not obligated to cater to you.

I feel like it's just a ranked thing to not let spirits drop low that transfered over to his watch parties. I say that in ranked
