Riot is NOT happy with TenZ

#1

SaltyMcNulty

TenZ rattled Riot so much with that comment that they haven't given SEN a single award for the Season. The only team to bring home an International trophy this year! LMAO

So? EEIU won 'Initiator of the Year' without even going to Seoul or winning any trophy. Not saying he doesn't deserve it but TenZ absolutely deserves to be the 'Controller of the year'. Literally had the 3rd highest rating for the year playing smokes FFS

they should change their comps and agent pool just to prove a point to you? Viper isn't even a controller agent! You are very smart!

viper plays like a senti. wdym? She doesn't have an universal smoke! This is common sense above diamond level. Do you think prime chamber was a senti just cz the game listed him as such?

so astra is the only controller???
omen does not have universal smokes
brimstone does not have them
harbor does not either
nor clove does.

chamber is not a duelist. and he will never be
he cant entry.

They can smoke from anywhere without lineups, that makes them universal.

It didn't say most 'versatile player' of the year, it said 'controller of the year' and Omen is a controller. TenZ doesn't choose who plays what?

on fracture, bind and sometimes on split and lotus
you're literally proving my point by saying demon1 isn't a controller player since he's not playing controller on every map and tenz is also not playing on every map. Demon1 also has a larger controller agent pool as well

Mate no hate to tenz but just playing omen doesn't make u a complete controller player, it could have been that riot also considered how big ur controller agent pool was

TenZ has been shitting on riot and their pcs since before madrid and these awards. and so have other pro players.

he’s one of the few people who can stir shit and not face any repercussions from riot because of his huge platform

TenZ would’ve cost riot so much money. Imagine replacing 5 players + 1 coach x 16 teams. 96 PC’s and 96 Monitors over 1 person complaining.

he wasn't the only one complaining there is a video where asuna was talking to shanks and said the only reason FPX played 3 smokes is to handicap the enemy team fps wise by them looking at 3 sets of smokes/walls / orbs

Exactly those ARE good PC, in TenZ’s wording he wants “top of the line” ones. 96 TOP OF THE LINE PC’s.

yes they should have top of the Line PCS for the international events that have millions of people watching! How hard is it to understand? It;'s a billion dollar company that makes millions off of their esports. PCs that drop below 240fps on a 240hz monitor isn't acceptable.

the only award debatable is the igl award & sentinel award

others are pretty clear

(valyn and johnqt are neck n neck it’s pretty much arguable since they both have done very well this year even despite valyn not winning any trophies)

Can't take an Optic fan seriously. Like ever. How is valyn more impactful as a controller over being the IGL who made a rookie team play this good? His impact is literally him being the 'modern FNS'. https://x.com/willminder/status/1815839974899736628 https://x.com/willminder/status/1816242655891972551

And still he's not a sellout because he has morals? How is this a bad thing? People with voices should complain about injustices. That's why there are unions. You talk like a classic bootlicker. Oh I have done so much for you so you should demand less. Get the fk outta here with that shit bruh. He has himself to credit for his success otherwise you have the game installed on your computer too mr, Asokra, why aren't you tenz?

Morals? he's just adding comments he doesn't need to add, which makes Riot look worse. Saying "first time I've smiled in a long time in this game" can be misinterpreted by so many different people. Obviously adding comments like that adds to tension between TenZ riot and Tbf is very unnecessary, if he has actual problems he can easily get it solved rather than adding unnecessary comments. Also, I think it's ironic coming from you that you called me a bootlicker.

very sad that riot is going the "woke" route
Tenz finished vct america as the fifth best player this year
valyn didn't even make it into the top 10

I wouldn't be surprised if in the future more Pro would go a similar route just so they would be treated more fairly

Americas hyping up Valyn when he used to be the king of chokers. He has Leaf now and dropped deadweight neT so he shouldn't choke as hard now.
