N4RRATE > Verno

Demon1 is benched and will probably be on the next roster that includes FNS, s0m, and Ethan since those 3 players are signed until 2025.

You expected FNS to magically turn this team around in 2 weeks? It's almost pointless to plug in a new IGL without giving them an entire offseason.

If your alt account isn't close to your main rank and you play on it a good amount you probably don't deserve your rank and your carried.

The best Fade is definitely Sacy

SEN smoke those frauds. No map pool, saving strats copium, 5 weeks of practice, struggled against bums, and are glazed because yall finally learned how to read names.

You can tell the ranks of some players just by their opinion

Acend Rising lost to BBL to qualify

But they do and those teams didn't make it out to qualify for this tournament lol that's why they aren't playing for a trophy. So you are just kinda wrong.

I didn't know LOUD dropped their two trans players before they lost to TL to qualify thats new news to me LMAOAO

There you go now you are saying what you really want to say lol. Outside of Flor, there isn't a trans person in the top 15 in this tourney. This also isn't a woman's league Riot has defined GC to be a "new program which will supplement the competitive season by creating new opportunities and exposure for women and other marginalized genders within VALORANT esports" so your opinion doesn't really matter. This could all be solved if you stopped looking at it in this way.

This is hate you are just being pussy about it. Trans people have been in GC for a minute now and I don't think anyone has just woken up and randomly decided to turn women to play in GC all these people in the game live it in their life outside of the game. Also, multiple teams have multiple trans players and they aren't in the tourney because they suck.

Ahh yes, let's get rid of a proven initiator and replace him with someone who has never played that role before because we base everything off of show matches weeks into the offseason and vlr stats! Who let bro cook?

Ahh yes get rid of the guy that literally forced SEN to ban their best map because he was sick what a big brain this guy has!

Because the only reason a player isnt playing is because they are dropped!

Not really, also context is important for their situation and season compared to others. A lot of the things you mentioned can be fixed when a team has a dependable IGL(SEN def did not have that) and a true offseason or a core/foundation (SEN did not have any of those things). They had constant changes to their team/staff, there was no consistency to them. Also, the team has 4/5 same players so saying they have a good team now is funny. And the whole of EMEA kinda of debunks most of your stuff when they literally mix and match players from different places all the time. Fnatic doesn't have a single person from the same place literally mixing the UK, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Turkey. Whole lot of culture and language in that team.

Sacy and Pancada are still on SEN I wouldn't use them as examples for "imports not working"

Sentinels have the infinite money glitch and yall all thought they were going broke because of an article lol

Bro is farming interactions so he can finally talk to someone lol

yes because that was the problem with SEN lol

sacy

Both are pretty misleading that's why you have so many braindead people saying how certain players suck because they don't have a bunch of kills while their literal role is holding flank/not taking fights because of their post-plant util/retake utility being so important.

Uhm just letting you know it's an internal issue, and right now its either Victor/Crashies or FNS/s0m there will be no more optic core unless you count the victor marved crashies. There are two routes for NRG to pursue and its between those

also if they keep FNS/S0M it would literally be FNS and Chet building the team

drew spark

depends on who NRG choose tbh S0M/FNS or Victor/Crashies

I agree with you on that. They did not do a good job especially not filling in their coaching need, but finally, they woke up and put a great roster around him and a coaching staff. I do not think his story as a pro player is done tho. I think a real offseason with this core now while slotting in an experienced/proven IGL they can make something shake. I am interested in next year, especially after seeing some great ideas in LCQ and an expanded map pool (kinda) I'm sure they are due for success with someone who can midround them.

I can do the same thing Santos does, wait for information to come out and then write an "article" about it and post it on VLR lol.

to say Tenz is "ruined" by SEN is hilarious, he doesn't join SEN I doubt he is as big as he is right now

dont project on me

"dumass" LMOAOAAOOA surely the dream grand finals is going to be next year not yesterday lolll

Surely slotting in an IGL with their 4 man core after a full offseason they wont get better at all right? No way teams can improve its impossible lol actually brain dead vlr chatter

Bro said sentinels is mid lmoaoao

either of them can slot into SEN well, SEN's core has built up enough chemistry to play together all they need is someone who can midround them and they could be elite.

where does he say this?

nismo - flex

just get ardiis again, all they need is a selfless duelist who is flexible and that is the opposite of cned. Ardiis is not the best player in the world but it helps their system run a lot better obviously shown by their results with their original team

buddy he is the director of esports, he has power to control these things lol. He is not as useless as his ideas. He can allow a org to pick up these players and also enforce the rule of not allowing orgs to sell their spot.

Lol yes I expect them to get a Sentinel IGL and they are always the viper on their double controller comp, and I would assume pancada move back to smokes. So that being said I definitely see TenZ on Kj in double controller comps. Lotus would look like Zekken (Raze), Sacy (Fade), Pancada (Omen), IGL (Viper), Tenz (KJ)

there is a good chance

I don't think SEN only has two options, I just think they need an IGL at this point. I don't see a reason to gut the roster and restart from square 1 again. They did not look the best in LCQ, but they showed a lot of promise with certain things they did in their matches they just lacked the depth in their playbook and not having a true IGL so their midrounding was very mid. Keep the core of Zekken, tenz, Sacy, pancada and just slot in an IGL, let zekken be main entry and have Tenz move to that hard flex role (breach, kayo, jett on double duelist, kj on double controller, etc). They will have a full offseason to add depth to their playbook, protocols, and overall team play.

ur bias

He was not the best, but your stats are off by a lot. Bcj played Omen a lot during that tourney, so a lot of the stats are messed up because of that. Looking at just initi, his fade ranked 2nd with 131 rounds, Sova 6th with 18 rounds, and Skye 7th with 23 rounds. So I don't know how you got all those names above him, but he was def top 10 maybe even top 5.

Ascent - Loud
Bind - Sentinels
Fracture - EG
Haven - Loud
Lotus - Paperex(new comp)/ Loud
Pearl - Paperex
Split - Fnatic

last time TenZ had a team where he did not need to hard carry every single game in order to win he won a LAN

thats actually insane
