RIOT would never do it, then they wouldn't be able to rig games for SEN

FUCK RIOT. This is more shameless that FIFA gifting Pessi a WC

So wait! Wasn't there a rule that said teams from same regions shouldn't play in a matchup against each other? So why are PRX and GenG going against each other when one of them could have just gone up against SEN. Why is RIOT deliberately giving SEN all the China matchups? Shameless from riot no?

His best performances were on LAN. You are thinking of CS TenZ. That was like 5 years ago

Nah, you are wrong on that. If anything he is a LAN player. His angle holding on LAN is hella strong, can't do that online.

I know it will which is why why it's so crazy 😭

How do you guys think he will do? I feel like people are over expecting. Skuba was already putting generational shifts on CUBERT and they still lost so many games. Replacing his shoes will be difficult and besides that people really underestimate how good T2 players are individually. Remember yay last year? I feel like TenZ is in even worse situation than yay cuz tenz has been basically a variety streamer/businessman for these past 7-8 months. I have seen him play ranked guys and Imma just say it, it's not looking good.
I really do think TenZ will get farmed today.

why do yall care about content creator deals? TenZ basically already acts as a super PRX fan, what does an affiliation badge on twitch do? It's irrelevant

Mako was doing better than what DRX doing rn at least

Why did DRX replace Flashback with this guy again? Im sorry I'm kinda out of the loop

Hot take: Leo won't be good if he comes back, at least not immediately. I don't think what it takes and how much work you need to put to keep up with everything.

The people he is playing with rn were literally playing pro even when he was playing 6 months ago, now some of them are benched or retired. I refuse to believe that they got much better in that timeframe. It's just tenz got much worse because he hasn't kept up, it takes a lot of work to be on that highest level.

That's what I am saying tho .Having to put him in that category is just tragic. Not a good look for the scene, specially since a lot of normies think he is GOAT tier. Dude is just 23, sold his soul to greed and now can't keep up with benched players. such a shame!

It's not like hes gonna see this and cry to sleep. Hes making bread and that's what matters to him, I don't think he cares. He says it himself that hes washed.

stopped keeping up with this shit game bro

It hurts seeing him be this washed ngl. Getting mogged by Jessievash and some T3 noname APAC players. Greed is a helluva drug man

NO. Apparently, tenz was frying on clove and yoru in scrims during chaps and prior champs but kaplan didn't have enough faith in him. Kaplan was of the opinion that even zellsis is more integral to the team that tenz was. I am not making shit up

kaplan doesn't like tenz

wdym over bang? He could replace anyone on that team except may be zekken. Why LMAOO as if it's a controversial opinion?

6-13? They told me he's the best player itw? LMAOOO

Jokes aside, he is going through the same problem tnez was going throw in 2023(it's a team problem) but tenz got 10x the hate. Why is that? Was it just because tenz was popular so his haters felt vindicated when he performed poorly? Just how people treat miniboo?

wdym he is not meant to learn things? Also, how would that affect his aim that badly?

What happened to him? It looked like he couldn't even hold the mouse properly! That's why keeping a 5 men roster that did great last year never works. People take things for granted and don't understand what they are doing wrong. GG we go next.

That's why EG has a champs and your org will never have one

I will come back to this when the deal is announced officially

I told yall this was going to happen, only question was when and now it seems it's going to happen sooner rather than later.
NRG is gonna acquire TenZ for the remaining of the season and they are looking at Rossy as an addition as well. TenZ was reluctant to comeback so soon after announcing his retirement last year but NRG Andy Miller offered him a max contract that he just couldn't refuse. There were credible rumors that financial incentives of being a CC is the only reason tenz stepped away from professional valorant in the first place. s0m is going to IGL with ethan helping him in the process. - Sources close to the matter

Sacy couldn't have shot like that. He woulda died to the first guy KEKW

It's actually funny how clueless you lot are and how result based your analysis is. smh

you talking out of your ass blud, no disrespect. Alfa had a slow start but then he came back to element against M8, even boaster has been doing well. Only thing you said right is that crashies is ass, other than that they have been doing okay. How do you know IGLing is the issue when they have been defaulting like always and it gets them results. They are one of the most consistent teams.

They won 2-0 despite their star player not performing. What were they supposed to do? Lose the game? They only played one game. Also, the ranking is based on team quality not just results since teams haven't had much opportunity to show what they've got.

There's no fact involved in this, this is based on eye test, gut feeling and intuition. If you wanna just rank based on results so far then you can go ahead, it's easy to do but I'm just saying FNC's result in kickoff so far don't paint the correct picture. They will be a formidable team imo.

mada and verno won't be doing generational carries every day bigman. Ethan is washed honestly, if they had a better player in his position I woulda put them on S tier. Having two deadwood players is kinda risky.

Fnatic is good and they will continue to get better. It hurts me to say this but trust me it's the truth.

nah. I hate them but these guys have 'never die' attitude. It's very hard to beat them bcz they've got some real match winners.

EMEA has more S tier teams.

EMEA S tier: TH, VIT, FNC
S tier on a good day: BBL, FUT, M8

AMER S tier: G2
S tier on a good day: NRG, SEN, LOUD, LEV

You are telling me the literal IGL have no leadership? Let's be honest here. We as viewers have no clue about who is a leader inside the team and how it helps or affects the team, the only thing we can measure is on screen performance. When it comes to mechanics and in-game intuition, yall are gonna gaslight me that sacy is a better player than FNS.

He didn't contribute very much to winning that. They should have lost.

I watched every single game bozo.

Bros giving me highlights of his clutches LMAO. These are nothing against the countless number of rounds he made them lose. He had one of the lowest CL% in regular season. These don't mean anything. FNS clutched 2 huge rounds against 100T too, doesn't make him a good aimer.

I am not talking about that year, I am talking about the last two years, that's what I am talking about.

This is not disrespectful at all honestly. FNS clutched 2 huge rounds against 100T too, doesn't make him a good aimer and same goes for sacy.

That was in ICE age, we ain't talking about that. FNS won a masters and made champs final too that year.

Peer pressure is helluva thing. I can promise you that sacy being a good player is a manufactured narrative. If you really are a SEN fan you woulda known how bad sacy was for last 2 years. FNS and him has exact same aim style except fns is an IGL so his mechanics can be excused if anything.

You really think sacy was a good aimer?

Okay, if you say so ig. Facts don't matter cuz gamer girl said so.

He was NOT good. He was single handedly holding SEN back. If they had N4rrate, eeiu, verno or any of the other top initiators in 23-24 they would have swept everyone with that team, even before johnQT came along. You did NOT watch as much of SEN games as me, trust me on this. They used to be my favorite team pre 2024.

Sacy was even worse in 2023. What are you on about?

NO cuz you are proving the bias against Indians and Asians in general.

FNS is a better aimer than sacy, I don't care what anyone says. Yet, one gets celebrated as a smart team player whereas the other gets ridiculed even though he's literally the IGL? What's the discrimination for? Sacy's util wasn't even that good and he used to spray and pray as much as fns.

They are all sick. It was expected

If you know you are good at something and people love you for it, it's hard to stay away from that. Trust me hes already feeling the inkling of making a comeback. It's just a matter of when because these are his prime years as an athlete and he will never get them back, he knows it too.
