I get their fans are huge problem but I don’t think this is enough of a reason. Sen is still a great team. And one of the few orgs to win two trophies like give them some respect.
Sentinels is a FANTASTIC team. They play really cohesively and they obviously have a lot of chemistry. Me personally, I'm not the biggest fan of them for two main reasons:
They're super overhyped/way too popular. Doesn't matter if they're world champions or bottom of the group. Sometimes it doesn't even matter if they're playing or not. You take one look at the crowd and you see a sea of red, with only a few scattered dots of other colours. Or you look to see what people are saying about the game in YouTube or Twitch chats and half of everyone is glazing TenZ for literally no reason. Or you ignore all that and queue ranked and there's a 50% chance you load in and see a SEN classic sitting in spawn. I'm by character someone who roots for the underdog or the unpopular team (with a few permanent exceptions), so I'd already not be a massive fan of Sentinels to begin with, but then you add that on and it's just too much. Guess I'm just a bit tired of seeing the red, white and black.
The main reason I love VALORANT is the utility, the teamplay, the coordination, and the combinations of skill sets of agents to pull off incredible plays. The biggest reason by far that I'm so into the pro scene is because all these teams have gotten as close as currently possible to mastering these kinds of things, and can innovate some amazing stuff (one of the reasons I'm a fan of LOUD, and particularly Saadhak), and it's honestly sick to see it all pulled off. Don't get me wrong, Sentinels has amazing utility this year, and some of the stuff they've innovated is really, really cool. But the thing about them is they're absolutely cracked aimers, all five of them. So even when they get absolutely diffed by the utility, and the gameplan, and all of that... they'll just hit a few shots and steal the entire round, and they'll do this super consistently, too. I guess it's personal preference but I just don't enjoy VALORANT whatsoever when it's just a contest of who can shoot the other guy first, and that's how quite a lot of SEN's rounds end up playing out.
