it aient that serious bro, calm down. Its a joke reference to Tarik. No need to get that mad LMAO

TenZ played life games in champs but team held him back lowkey

No TenZ = No WinZ
NRG winning champs 2025

If I learned anything from C9 is they they are the most inconsistent team ever in valorant imo, they are good for a few games and then play awful after. That being said they are still a new roster to be fair.

They sold their spot but are still in as a guest spot I believe

People forget SEN won Madrid and was top 4 champs for a reason, imo its mostly because of Johnqt/Kaplan core + Zekken/Tenz. We only lost Tenz mainly, sorry Sacy you were great but shooting wise is just really poor.

I just want to know why everyone hate Chet so much? Did he really do anything wrong, ik the bonkar twitter drama but I find that more funny than anything and to be fair if I was getting shit talk I prob do the same.

NA team is basically SEN/EX SEN + Derrek

demon1 Astra, Tarik Jett, Boostio KJ, C0M Sova, and Tenz Kayo for Pearl
EDIT: I called it lets go!
EDIT 2: Whoever changed the Tarik Logo is fucked UP LMAO

I changed my mind after seeing Tarik on Iso and Demon1 on Omen, SEN 3-0

even more of a reason TenZ dropping 100+, Tarik not going to frag.

Tarik 2-0 my goat TenZ drops 100+ kills, Tarik drops 20 (tehee)

I just remember that map is leaving the map pool, well rip Zellsis. o7 (wait he was good on Split too though)

Well at least hes insane on Icebox, thats a map not many people can say they are good at.

Zellsis is literally called "The Vibe Merchant' me personally as a fan isn't expecting him to perform, I just know that he's an amazing person to have as a teammate because he has a very fun personality. Also don't forget Zellsis on Icebox is different, thats the one map where hes insane on.

Im excited to see how this roster will perform in 2 days in their invitational. Im not sure what the playstyle for this roster will be but last year it was Zekken/Tenz go fight and flood site retakes. I think they can still retake flood, but not sure how Zekken will perform without Tenz to back him up.

It is a downgrade but overall Im saying the roster is overall an upgrade.

Yes idk how people don't understand how insane TenZ last year, nobody put him top 10 somehow. His playstyle is different than any controller player ive seen.

SEN roster have officially been announced, and arguably the roster could be better since n4rrate and bang is a great addition for more firepower. But nobody could replace TenZ aura and Sacy clutches. I would say I'm pretty satisfied with this new roster, lets go SENWIN!

I mean if Im considered one of the best vct players with 2 trophies now retired, I would complain too type shit. Besides I dont think people watch TenZ because of his personality but because of his gameplay. Its nice to watch good gameplay of val.

nah thats cap, ive seen Curry play ranked and he does not shoot like he does in pro. Also he played very well last year on c9 roster in same off season event redbull.

Curry did not show up today unlucky, if Curry played well today YFP wouldn't be as hard and C9 loss maybe could of won. All good he's just a sub and not a lot of practice

Crazy insane script, I don't think SEN played anywhere near their Madrid/Champs form but they are at least playing like pretty good for two subs with 4 days of practice.

kinda want m80 to lose so maybe SEN can pickup Zander

I can see Marved or Zander if he doesn’t win Ascension. As for Sacy its hard to say for certain but “leak” to n4rrate but Idk about that.

Ever since I saw Kangkang back in 2023, I loved him as a player. So happy for him to win this trophy, proved Boostio wrong, and have the best 5 map series performance of all time. GGWP

You earned my respect, usually see G2 fans hating on SEN (vice versa)

Im sad about the loss ,so goodbye. My final words hope for EDG win champs, LEV im ok with and TH is cool but they beat my boys so I cant root for them haha.

Im going to keep saying it that one round where Zekken mouse died was the momentum swing we needed to win Icebox. Im mad with Zekken for that one round, actually upset this is how they go out. Zellsis vibes are great but I need you to shoot back man, Johnqt aim fell off idk what happened after Madrid but he lost a lot of confidence in his aim or something. Sacy my guy is clutch af and have insane utility usage at times but bro needs to stop crouch shooting, its a really bad habit.
Tenz is still goated honestly he's the most consistent player imo, his aim and utility is always good.
Zekken imo is the best player on SEN but he too inconsistent sometimes.

Johnqt rarely ever lurks, Tenz never lurks, the only player that kinda lurks is Zellsis on Icebox. Thats why SEN were bad on Breeze because nobody on their team ever lurks.

Tenz is whiffing
Zekken is tilted from mouse dying
Sacy not playing champs form
Johnqt locked in IGLING not shooting
Zellsis got no vibes
Most importantly I am sad ;(

Icebox could of been a close game if Zekken mouse didnt die, that sucks so much :(
One round they didnt clear default and one round Benjy went insane.
SEN played well but damn TH was shooting so good couldn't punish them for those angles.

Tenz is HIM holy shit 🥶

please dont bro, it's not that serious. Hope this is bait

Kangkang vs Aspas, no it was Chichoo who clears, he is too insane. Solo holding down A site, I felt his aura man. Harbor ult, Dart, Sova ult, doesnt matter bro is holding that site down.

I told him at his second post to shut the fk up, bro did not listen. LMAO

Your jinxes is better than Tarik and Erafps bro, you have too much power. 3/3 for jinx today

dude everytime you say something, you jinx them. This is the 3rd time u did this bro

To be fair if there ever a person to winning insane clutches Kangkang is that guy 1v3 not even Aspas fault, not talking about c0m stats so no hate to him but why is he spamming 1 hp???

bro you're jinxing so much, just shut up and let LEV close out or else EDG about to win LMAO

I would agree as well I think benjy is insane, but imo Johnqt > Boo as IGL, maps for TH have been super close ( like 1-2 round differential) while SEN has played less maps and less rounds. They played the same teams as well, so SEN obviously been playing better this tournament imo.

Nobody believes in SEN :(
SEN 2--1 TH
EDG 2-1 LEV

I don't diss any other team, I only talk shit about SEN because I love this team so much it makes me upset when they play bad. I don't say anything crazy to any individual player on the team. So I believe I am fairly different, i also support other teams but not as big of a fan.

Good luck to both teams should be a fun rematch.

Things SEN needs to do to win champs, from looking at the forums people are ranking them last. (I disagree)
1) Map pool, while I don't think SEN map pool is as bad people are making it out to be, the key factor that will make them win champs is definitely Sunset/Abyss, Sunset because many teams might just ban Lotus even though EDG won against them (SEN played very sloppy vs them), and many teams don't mind playing Sunset as they are also best maps for LEV/TH/EDG. Abyss because they are the only team to not show their Abyss at all so I would give the adv to them. (Surprise map pick)
2) Win more pistol rounds, my god it was painful watching EDG/FNC games to see both series only win 1/4 pistols. It just goes to show how good they are at rifle rounds but 4 rounds is the big difference to close out maps. They only got stomped was vs EDG on Sunset which they had no chance winning.
3) Stop playing retake simulator (All the time), I know retaking is the meta but it shouldn't be 5v5 retakes on a map like Sunset B main. You have to kill at least 2 guys to make the retake possible, less spam/utility means easier time to defuse and spam back at like 2-3 guys. Everytime I've seen teams win retakes vs B main spam it's because they aren't in a 5v5, and it's a lot easier to retake 2v3 than 5v5 imo. This is only a real issue on Sunset for them, and Bind tbh. That's why their Lotus defense is so good, they have very good flood timings + they do play on site to get 1-2 kills if they can.
4) Hit a site sooner, no offense to Fnatic but they played Lotus defense horrible and it should been 8-4 for them because SEN was hitting sites with like 20 seconds left. Johnqt needs to change the pace of the game, every team knows you do the same default every rounds so they won't expect a fast C hit or fight A rubble. Like ik Johnqt can call better than this, i've seen him do it all the time.
5) Play with confidence, there are some rounds were SEN just looks unsure what to do, and imo the best thing they can do is just take gunfights. Tenz is one of the best angle holders ik, (a little bit of glaze) he needs to just hold that angle down and win out that gunfight (it was never a 50/50 gunfight for him, he wins like 80/20 of the time), they give up too much space on defense. Just because playing retake doesn't mean you can't hold some space to get a cheeky 1 kill and backing off. It makes it harder for teams to contact up if you hold an off angle so aggressively how he used to. That was the reason they beat NRG on Sunset. This also helps bait out utility to make retakes easier as well, that's something I think TH did very well against them in Madrid on Sunset.

Bro only likes G2, is wild. Americas should be rooting for each other, even if I dont like G2 that much. I would still support G2 if the roles were reversed. Stop hating and support your region.

SEN plays better after a break, I believe in them. They will show their peak form they showed during GENG match, and win champs!

Actually good maps for SEN, but idk if TH will follow this map picks. SEN likes Sunset so i'm afraid Kaplan wouldn't ban it just because TH look insane on it.

After 2021 Americas took that personally and we got back to back wins, with 2 teams top 4 being Americas.

Don't forget TH had a poor game against LEV as well, I also think SEN wasn't playing that well against FNATIC tbh. We won because better gunfights than actually good strat. That says something because Derke was playing well while Tenz wasn't. So I think SEN could of played even better.
