idk how people can hate random people online who you don't even really know

Split will be played in LCQ, and Pearl will take its place in Champs.

if they nerf chamber jett will come back in meta, rn the reason why neon/raze are being used so much is because they can still have a awper as a chamber. I do think though chamber breaks all fundamentals of awping and makes the role way too easy so we might also see a future where jett awping might not exist because people play agents like neon/raze/kayo/breach so it makes Jett awping impossible as compared to awping on chamber. Pros always prove these takes wrong though so I wouldn't be surprised to see TenZ or yay go back to awping on jett.

Too early to tell how PRX FPX and Optic will do in the long run. Remember how gambit/sen/acend barely had any roster changes last year and they still managed to fall off so they have to make roster moves now. If Optic continues a top 3 pace for the next 2-3 events this will be correct.

shahz was on kayo and dapr was on fade

Move dapr to smokes so dapr fits in this meta. This allows for either shahzam to full time chamber or tenz to full time chamber. Kanpeki can go perma duelist(neon,raze) or go kayo for tenz to go full time entry duelist while shahz is the primary op on sentinels. What made sentinels good in the past was how good their opping is and when chamber came out it was dapr playing who isn’t an awper compared to shahz/tenz. This move also allows you to invest into a really solid igl if shahz wants to stop doing the role since it’s hard on chamber or smthn.

Also, get Shahzam an analyst and 2 coaches, it will help so much with this team. The chances of this happening are slim but they need it for LCQ.

I think they change roles, actually play towards the meta with TenZ on the chamber and dapr learning a second initiator and moving kanpeki to hardcore entry because he super effective at making space on neon. I think with this move they will be much more flexible, if the meta changes again they still have kanpeki on initiator and dapr back on original sentinel, I just feel like they aren't using the tenz and kanpeki duo to it's full potential like babybay and dicey.

you know nothing about basketball if you deny Lebron James success and no shit lebron james won't thrive in golden state system, so many players won't succeed in that system because it's a different type of basketball golden state play.

Not even ENVY at their best, envy didn't have that much practice with yay and their coach was stuck at home because of visa issues.

tenz on chamber would mess up roles since they haven't got a flex player. Kanpeki moves to raze then who is gonna play kayo/skye. I think tenz on chamber is best for them but knowing like the history of Sentinels roles, dapr will always be a sentinel on the team and won't play initiator which isn't good since all the ex-cypher/kj players have now adopted smokes or initiator. It's just a team decision and they want tenz on duelist but don't set him up well. He's perfect on lurks during iceland era and being that second entry.

tier 2

age don't matter too much this guy is owning a bunch of teenagers and players in their early 20s.

He's always been pretty good, his aim was insane on TSM it's just he was never put in situations to succeed in, he was like an ultra flex for TSM meaning he played like 4 different roles constantly for 3-4 months straight.

You don't know what franchising is huh

I think TenZ hurts the team because of how it makes star players like Shahz, Sick, Dapr have to play around him. TenZ on a team like EG would be great or even a team like LG. Both EG and LG work around their star players and the main issue is Sentinels have always been known to each individual frag and take those 1 on 1 confident fights, but with TenZ and this current meta they aren't the right players to set him up for frags. That's just my thoughts, TenZ is great but this team today had some rounds that just looked so fluid and reactive although they ended up getting stomped by the best team in the world.

Sentinels barely scrimmed when they were winning things, zombs said this multiple times. People shouldn't be surprised that sentinels still aren't scriming as much even if it's tournament life.

That makes a lot of sense now.

Is it not weird that sentinels are banning out maps that they win on and are comfortable on in the vetos against EG and LG? Sentinels ban Breeze against EG which they won against LG(although tenz had 40) but they didn't ban Icebox when EG took c9 with xeta to OT. I also noticed they banned haven when they had the chance to pick it against LG, just feels a little odd. There might be something in scrimbux we don't know but haven and breeze, sentinels actually can get an 8-4 half and not choke as hard as bind or other maps in their pool.

I just looked at his first 5 messages in this forum and holy fuck this guy is a dedicated FAN.

Weird I used to see you during the Iceland days being a devoted sentinels and shahz fan.

Sentinels need to get their roles down first, Sick has so much potential on flex, and shahz's op won them so many games during their prime. Zombs mentioning that Shahz doesn't even schedule scrims shows the dedication of the whole team. They need to just have structured coaching staff and analysts and they will be a good team again, they have the mechanics they just need to execute it.

10 pages of you defending Shahzam and sentinels with your life. People switch up and just make hate threads, at least switch up and not say anything no?

He over-extends but with discipline, he can be much better than what he is right now. I feel like he isn't set up as much compared to other top talent in the region.

I think Shahz's igl can work if he has the right coach to work around, he's always been very anti strat heavy but if he had c9's coaching structure around him or what 100t has it can honestly improve the team. Rawkus feels like an analyst rn and not like the coach which puts more on Shahzam which leads to them losing more.

You have like at least 10 pages defending Shahzam LMFAO, I just find these posts so lame and unnecessary. Like why are you stalking this guy's games against a pug team that he is playing for fun? Yeah shahz recently hasn't been playing up to his 2021 level and sentinels have massively fallen off but these posts are just so cringe and weird.

5k forum posts, this is your life LMFAO

brain damage

yeah you're right shahz's playstyle isn't as loose as it used to be. I remember originally when tenz wasn't in the roster shahz was the one being set up for everything but now that's changed a lot and it impacts his frags.

c9 has leaf and xeppa and they are insane. xset has cryo and zekken always doing well also.

Trust me all the pros you see have egos, anybody who competes has an ego.

Obviously, he'll have an ego it's a pro player. But is the extreme amount of hate worth it though? He's not like zombs who was literally trolling during champions on twitter.

Shahzam has always done fine it’s just he’s had a rough series these past 2-3 games. The pressure and the hate is definitely getting to him you can see it so easily.

Ratzam is not criticism. I haven’t seen one post on this site giving criticism it’s all just hate posts. Got to realize these guys are human also outside of pro.

Hardcore hate is never justified. People on this site are so obsessed with sentinels and Shahzam that it's actually kinda weird. I get the normal people who just criticize them and make real posts but some of these guys are just sick lol.

No bro I just enjoy watching valorant, this is your life for you.

GO OUTSIDE PLEASE BRO. Each post is the exact same

Yeah I mean shahz doesn’t care abt anyone on these sites. Streaming and his time as pro on valorant has gotten him 10x more than he’s got in cs. He’s 28 and his stats aren’t even that bad yet(ranked and pro), he’s just gonna try and ride of the success for as long as he can.

Scrims 7 hours streams another 7. Honestly he should stream less take some proper rest and work on himself but he’s still gonna live rent free in everyone’s mind on this site.

Scrims 7 hours streams another 7. He literally plays more than his teammates(dapr,sick). Hard to compete against teams with coaches and analysts.

80 posts in a day. grass

I've seen him first dead and second dead on ascent a little too much.

Not a fan of him being on smokes, he is way too aggressive for the role, and noticed that if he dies sentinels fall apart. Would prefer him as a duelist or initiator since he is very experienced in those roles.

and acend in champs

vanity

3.6k posts and you suggest something so braindead. All good.

yo can you clip fo rme?
