REAL SEN FIX
Duelist: Keznit
Flex igl: Boostio
Initator: Zekken
Smokes: Mindfreak
Sentinel: Demon1

a year: 2022 yay
a tournament: reykjavik tenz

no cause this one is true

messi and keznit: have met taken pictures
messi and zekken: messi called zekken the worst player to touch this game

go to settings by clicking the three lines in the top right corner and you should be a opton to change your flair

I will excuse on the basis that as a sen fan you delusionaly support your team no matter what

However I will caution that Zekken may not stay on SEN next year

On pure duelist ability, Keznit is far better than Zekken. The stats from their direct matchups make this undeniable.

First Kill / First Death and Head 2 Head:

In their head-to-head series, Keznit consistently edges out Zekken in first kill/first death numbers. In the series that the two played each other in the last two years (the years that both Keznit and Zekken were both on pure duelist), Keznit outperformed Zekken with a 11/3 FK/FD to Zekkens 8/8 FK/FD. Keznit also domianted Zekken winning 12/9 fights against him. (https://www.vlr.gg/353183/sentinels-vs-kr-esports-champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-2-w2/?game=all&tab=overview) and edged him out with a superior 13/6 FK/FD to Zekkens inferior 13/9 FK/FD while also stomping him into the ground with a 12/7 duel win rate. (https://www.vlr.gg/459524/sentinels-vs-kr-esports-champions-tour-2025-americas-stage-1-w2)
Duelists are measured by their ability to secure opening impact, and Keznit delivers this more reliably than Zekken, while also domianting him individually.

Duelist Agent Pool:

While both Zekken and Keznits duelist pool is extremly similar in terms of the meta Raze, Yoru, Neon, Keznits Jett stands head and shoulders above Zekken’s. Even the biggest Zekken fans can not deny that his jett is by far his worst duelist especially when on the operarator-a cornerstone of Jett-something that Keznit excells heavily in (I mean look at this clip on the biggest stage in the world I dont see Zekken doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qidu_oii6Us )

Not Carried, but Carrying:

Keznit doesn’t need to be propped up, he is the one doing the heavy lifting. In KRÜ’s matches, he is consistently the top fragger. Zekken, by contrast, thrives only when his teammates set him up, the only time Zekken is able to find success on the stage is when his teammates carry him-which can be seen in the difference of SEN between 2024 and 2025, in 2024 Zekken was not SENs best player or their carry the role being filled by TenZ. When Zekken was forced to step into those shoes Zekken did not perform and SEN this year has not placed as high as their lowest intl result in 2024. They have not even been able to win a regional trophy.

Put both players on the same team, with the same structure and support, and the result is obvious: Keznit would outperform Zekken. His superior FK/FD stats, deeper duelist pool, and ability to independently carry rounds prove that he is the stronger duelist in every respect. Strip away the hype, trophies, and team narratives what matters for a duelist is raw fragging power and the ability to win opening fights. By that metric, Keznit is flat-out better than Zekken, and frankly the fact that people think hes not is borderline racism.

zekken no
mada if he continues to domiante

MIBR Aspas
PRX Something/Jinggg
VIT Derke

EDG Zmjjkk

end of list

Saying the truth is crazy in a world full of lies

dang g2 need sword9

Trent has only ever been good on tejo-people critize jonah for not fragging but tr0nt is about the same and way worse util wise

imo if G2 are looking to splurge next year they should get Zekken since his contracts up-he can play init/flex and 2nd duelist

I can see that argument-however I also believe that team form is what matters most, an argument im seeing is that Tokyo was a fluke because Something was unable to make it-however I believe since the winners (FNC) were able to replicate their success at the top level (not necessarily winning but still being a top team) that is not a fluke win since the team was still able to replicate their results elsewhere.

For that same reason I believe T1 to be a fluke as they had an extreme stroke of good luck of all their players hitting their stride at the same time and managing to win. T1 did not have any unfair advantage (unless you say the tournament format, as some are which is not an advantage, as every other team had it) but I would still call their run a fluke on the basis that they were unable to replicate ANY of their success (again, success here is not defined by winning but by being a top team where as this T1 after and before Bangkok could barely be called a "good" team)

I think thats exactly what it means what the fuck else would it mean

shame to see that the new generation can not read past a 3rd grade level

For me a fluke tournment is a tournment where the winning team has only been able to play at the top level at THAT tournment. I will use the example of EDG 2024 as it is very recent-EDG 2024 Champs (S1mon/Zmjjkk/Chichoo/Nobody/Smoggy) won china stage 2, won champs, then got 3rd at bangkok. That is not a fluke as prior to and after they still performed at the top level. If a team makes roster changes after a win and then falls off that is not a fluke-that is just a team being unable to play again.

The only 2 I would call flukes with confidence are:
ACE Champs 2021: FLUKE were not a top team prior (Losing to 100T with assuna nitro hiko steel? really?) and after were ass (when you have to sub in purpo you know the roster is cooked)
T1 Bangkok 25: FLUKE Did not qualify with the 5 who won, did not mange to replicate success after and bombed out of regional playoffs with a whimper

If you want my full reasoning for any other tourney they are behind the spoiler-the ones I say I find contentious (I dont think they are flukes but I could see the argument and could be swayed) are SEN 21, FPX 22, SEN 24,

Along with Ange1 I think this could be a great and realistic roster
HC: Ange1
Duelist: Cryo
Flex: Asuna (alr confirmed to be playing)
Initiator: C0M
Smokes/Sentinel: Demon1
Sentinel/Smokes igl: Boostio

Thoughts?

Sacy has never been an outstanding fragger

How Leos sickness would have effected FNC if any1 else got it

Elmapuddy-Team would get better insta and prob win Shanghai+Champs
Derke-Still lose shanghai, would get a cracked t2 duelist (Kaajak early?) and do very well at champs but still wouldnt win
Chronicle-Still lose shanghai, would prob still get Hiro as a sub, would do well at champs but wouldnt win
Alfajer-Still lose shanghai, would prob still get Hiro as a sub, would do well at champs but wouldnt win
Boaster-lose shanghai, wouldnt qual to Champs

downvoted for the truth Sacy was louds 2nd best player at champs

+1

crazy how many people talk so big and have no clue what they are talking about. Sacy was the best player from LOUD that year-Less and Pancada turned up at champs but didnt perform in Reyk, Aspas performed at Reyk but didnt perform at Champs

bros just scared that im gonna destroy him

bro says this with gmb flair holy 😭😭 was gonna respond but saw it was bait

tell me if Leo is the 'goat' how come he only had 2 intls wins with

the greatest coach in val history
top 2 duelist in val history
greatet flex in val history
greatest igl in val history
top 3 sentinel in val history

Now we valuing wins over TH in the grand final 😭😭 what has this site come too

if Rb had Mini/Chron/Alfa/Derke/Boaster igl around him hed have 8 intls trophies rn.

Sacy was the 2nd best player on LOUD when he won champs L bait if you didnt watch Champs 22 just say that

ah yes emea in 2024 who was checks notes

The biggest chokers the game has ever seen
Fut who had ata and qraxs
