want fnatic to win, would make me happy make me smile

was it him or chronicle? either ways it sucks for either as back pain can affect performance

• give away the whole IBuypower situation

i couldn't think of any other free agents that were flex players and zellsis was the only guy that came to mind, but im pretty sure there are some pretty good orgless guys running around rn

he was the analyst for them during masters 2 because of their lack of coaching staff back in 2021, he actually used to do his homework on other teams before playing them

Nice rebuild but I think I would pick up BabyJ for Dapr as he is more consistent, and for the fifth might as wel getl zellsis as secondary flex and put Sick on Sova on maps where required, or if Sinatraa finishes training put him on Fade, Sova and Raze, because TenZ cannot play raze well enough for the pro stage.
Agree with the coach pick ups as well.

RIP, lost to his own rifle

Val viewmodel left feels v unnatural to me for some weird reason, unlike the cs viewmodel left

IDK what they should change, but maybe the addition of liscensed by Riot 3rd independent party modders, who can make new training maps for players for aim tracking (ik aimlab is free) raze satchelling, etc.
And partnership with Faceit and ESEA for a different in game competitive matchmaking using skill instead of rank (monitored by Riot ofc using Vanguard so there are no hackers). Maybe through this some players who are hard stuck but have the potential to go pro could get scouted by other pros or get a vouch from them (may not be the best and could be a braindead take from me)
But fr, they should add in a replay system, would make VOD reviews for other teams a lot easier

I never play LoL so I didn't know but thanks for clarifying

Would be cool if there was Faceit for Val though

check their 2023 VCT reveal, it's at the bottom of the pyramid

I'm unsure what they meant with the new in-game competitive mode

https://valorantesports.com/2023-format-reveal

Riot said they plan on adding something similar to FPL/Faceit in their 2023 roadmap right? Or did I interpret it wrong?

AdreN

IDK if Japan or Korea are a part of APAC, but there could be a language barrier as players from those regions aren't the best at English, and signing players from different parts of the continent with language barriers could lead to poor comms, etc. But it would be cool to see nonetheless

I only have an NA team
C9 Mitch - Sentinel
Optic Marved - Controller
NRG Ethan - Initiator & IGL
100T Asuna/SEN TenZ- Duelist/Flex (flex onto Kay/O, both play him very well)
SEN SicK - Flex/Duelist (Raze if TenZ is on the team, Jett if Asuna is on the team)

Coaching staff - Jovi, Sean Gares, DDK

also playing with no duelists on icebox at all

He also said if we lose champs then it was all a fluke, and I guess he wasn't wrong

Asuna?

Rainbow 6, CSGO

Exceeli and VPG playing? also LAN or online?

V1 still 0-1 vs FNC as well skull emoji x7

Na I'm a warriors fan lol, still have hope SEN can rebuild/build a new dynasty like GSW did in the last 2 years

Game 7 is like championship/elminitation point, and if the game is very back and forth and close, crowds get pretty active. You should see Kawhi's game winner against Philadelphia.
But other than that, earlier games can get pretty active if a worse team is beating a better team or if players get chippy against each other.

watch this, it's pretty hype if uk the story behind it as well

They even suck at booing players according to Nikola Jokic

I mean I wouldn't really say TenZ blocking others' roles is the main issue with Sentinels rn, it's more in their style of pro play. I haven't watched their recent games but the ones I've watched in stage 1 for masters 1, it did show me that they lacked teamwork and playing off of each others utility, something most other NA teams have started doing well (Optic, C9, V1 and Guard). Sen still plays an individual game at this point, which could be due to bad shot calling from ShahZ, but I'm not the one playing alongside him so I wouldn't know. I'm still down to give this team another chance, it's just they're lacking in the teamwork department. And they should also get a known strategic coach and analyst, one that has been doing such things for some time (IDK if Rawkus has done such things in OW so I'm a bit skeptical), it would take a lot of pressure off of ShahZ and some professional input would be helpful.

NA doesn't mean USA, it means North America, Canada is in North America, and so is Mexico. These 3 countries make up NA.

IK this is stupid, but as a SEN fan I have nothing better to do than imagine SEN are winning everything

What happens if you replace ShahZam with Boaster on every SEN Val roster there has been. Only asking to see what you guys think would happen at the tournaments, because I'd say Boaster is one of the more smart players in pro play, and considering SEN more or less lack strats and haven't really adapted to the new meta yet, the hypothetical addition of Boaster raises a lot of questions of what could happen.
The three SEN rosters with Boaster in place of ShahZam
First Roster: SicK, zombs, Sinatraa, Dapr, Boaster
Second Roster: SicK, zombs, TenZ, Dapr, Boaster
Third Roster: SicK, Kanpeki, TenZ, Dapr, Boaster

I like ShahZ, positive guy, but after Champs, the guy sort of, has his head stuck up his ass. His fanbase is slowly becoming like Mixwell's fanbase. They aren't qualing this VCT but I hope they realize the problems within the team (roles and comps, nothing social) and fix them and get ready for the next. And I hope they actually start playing in the smaller tournaments to get better and stay in form, it worked for C9 after acquiring Vanity, and for TSM after all the roster changes.

s1mple and elige were teammates, that ended well didn't that

Congrats
or sorry that happened to you

I'd say things such as being from NA count as well considering they speak English and this allows international viewers whose second language is English to view their streams and understand more easily. They were a pretty dominant force in NA itself since the start from pro Val so that would also make them popular from the start, and the acquisition of TenZ, then considered NA's best, would also garner more fans making them more popular. Their flawless win in Reykjavik also counts, as a larger and international fanbase would go on to watch them win and follow them thinking they are one of the strongest teams internationally. So yeah, everything you asked is basically a reason why they are so popular.
