step 1: stay on shahzam’s stream at all times
step 2: wait for him to say anything remotely related to scrims and practice
step 3: post on vlr and clown him
step 4: repeat
jesus christ y’all
i get it, i honestly do, as to why people dislike shahzam and sentinels. but a lot of you guys have massive hate boners for this dude, and some forum threads are just circlejerking and echo chambering hate.
My advice would be just avoid threads about Sen and Shazam on this forum. It's as you mention. An echo chamber of hate boners.
Idiots on this forum are surprised that they might not be praccing hard. If I was an NA pro with a large following, why the fuck would I sacrifice a huge source of income to potentially not even qualify because the 2/3 tournament is only 12 teams and the prize money is weak. Screw that. Stream.
i personally feel like them having a perfect run in the masters tournament they won created this massive shadow right next to them, anything remotely off from that exact image they portrayed at first makes hate threads here either clowning them for whatever baiting/trolling reason or actual concern from the bandwagon fanbase side of them because they're not delivering as they used to.
i highly doubt any t1 pro team doesn't put the hours, regardless of how many individual hours each and every other player within the team put (which obviously some put more and some less), so it is mostly witchhunt threads or bait threads, problem is, as i previously mentioned, the massive shadow that follows them anywhere they go.
similar to g2 in a way, not in a winning tournaments way, but in being arguably one of the biggest (if not the biggest) esports orgs in the world rn, anything that strands just a little bit from the success path ends up in clowning threads towards them.
