Stop with the utility bullshit. It was nothing extraordinary. N4RRATE is a huge upgrade in every aspect.

This isn't FIFA, chemistry doesn't work like that

TenZ flex and may be omen with s0m going viper

but s0m isn't going to SEN, there's no reason for him to

TenZ will join NRG before champs and it will be perfect. mada, s0m, tenz, verno 😋

I mean hes gonna play the skye and fade that sacy used to play

Initiator - MASSIVE UPGRADE
Smokes- Slight downgrade but they have different style. TenZ just made zekken a lot better player with how he played, you won't get that with anyone else so in that sense Big downgrade.

Not exaggerated at all bro. People who have watched him over the years know how insanely competitive person he is and that's why he always had this hunger to improve. Now that he's retired, he has no motivation to improve his game or mechanics and people are much better in rankeds nowadays. So, when he loses it drives him insane, as much as it would do if he was losing a pro match. People around him and he himself forced him to believe that ranked and CC will be more chill for him but it's not. He's not like other pros who can just laugh it out when they play ranked, losing gets to him. I knew this all along.

yeah kick him for some stupid shit he said when he was a teenager edgelord. Bruh if he's a changed person now, why do you care?

Hes gonna be one of the best duelists in EMEA. You can bookmark this if you want.

wdym I almost never complain about tenz

This is looking good ngl. Kamo is an insane player, he just needs the right team.

Big pickup. TL is finally going on the right direction.

NRG flops. TenZ comes back to sub in for Ethan and then they go off to win champs 2025

his streams are doing much better than s0m tbh. s0m is grinder for sure but he doesn't have too much of a streamer personality either. Ardiis and FNS have better streamer personality than him.

Yall gotta let people grow and be better as a person. The guy was probably an edgelord when he was younger and if he has changed since then let him be man.

Studying is overrated. None of the GOAT billionaires finished college

He is too childish to figure that out himself. people around him needs to guide him.

I like him but does bro ever stop complaining? MY GOD

Can't stop complaining about Abyss. Like it's a bad map, we get it but you are also playing ranked with no DELAY whatsoever, with minimap fully UNCOVERED. Like what do you expect? They are running triple fakes on you with perfect flank timings through mid my guy. That's not on the map being bad. you were going to lose even if it was the greatest map design in FPS history.
Also, Abyss is not as bad as he says, I know this not because I know a lot about maps but because know tenz. When breeze came out he used to absolutely hate it. "ooo this is such a ratty map, everyone just lurks blah blah blah" then he played few officials and found out that you can just run around and take aim fights so he changed his mind to "It's only bad in ranked but fine in pro play". Same with Icebox and Split. Once, he and his team figured out how to play those maps he stopped complaining about them. Split used to be his absolute most hated map with prev SEN but xset always had a good understanding of the map and when he learned how to play on split it became one of his most favorite maps. I can guarantee you the same thing would have happened with Abyss if he stuck around but all good.

Then he complains about the gunplay being shit and inconsistent. Like bro valorant has never been about pure gunplay. There are so many variables that make gun fights massively lopsided in valorant. The pacing of the game due to having util, the randomness and on top of that ranked being ranked. You can't 1v9, not even primmie 1v9s in ranked. He and most other pros usually have a duo, a delay and covers the map to reduce randomness and unpredictability and even then they lose. And that's fine. You changing your sens and mouse 15 times a day also contributes to having inconsistent gun fights btw. Just put on a delay, cover your fkin map, STOP being stubborn, no one learns anything from the minimap because your viewers don't even look at it I promise, your YT videos are a combination of cut short clips so the context of the minimap gets lost anyway. Just cover the damn thing, have a duo, have a good experience so your viewers can have a good time as well OR don't do any of that and just run it down and STOP caring about losing so much. You have nothing to prove, just lose those fkin ranked games in peace. This constant malding is not good for you and bad influence on your young viewers.

Okay I will stop the rant now. I genuinely think this guy just loves to complain. kyedae said it too, he always needs something to complain about.
scenario 1: TenZ why don't you play true stretched? You love it so much so, why don't you play it? tenz- it looks bad on stream. viewers- but we don't care.
scenario 2: tenz why are you still switching your mouse and senz? tenz- I am testing something. viewers- you have been testing for last 4 years!
scenario 3: tenz put on a delay. tenz-no it's bad for chat interaction. tenz teammates- bro can you cover your map at least? tenz- nah my viewers are learning from the minimap, they are going to become the next FNS by watching me run it down Haven A short with a Reyna lear and just aim diff them. tenz viewers- !sens
That's all that happens in his stream and then he switches to variety and it's a considerably better experience but then he loses half his viewers so I guess it's not worth it for him in the long run since growing his stream is his primary objective now.
I knew the moment he retired that he would be absolutely insufferable playing ranked and playing variety is just not a good idea for him at this stage. TenZ isn't xQc or Caedral who have unique personalities that people gravitate towards even if they are not playing the game that they primarily subscribed for and I don't know who in his camp convinced him that he was. It's perfectly fine to be a normal dude who is just good at the game but at the same time it makes his decision about retiring so weird. Like people don't watch him because he is a good streamer but they watch him because he is good at the game. People have that perception that he is a god tier valorant player but when he retired, that god tier val player appeal just went away. That's why he was great as a pro+ streamer but as a sole valorant streamer he just isn't fun. Also, it's not easy to be fun as a valorant streamer because ranked is just bullshit. That's why you see all the valo streamers pursue some sort of gimmicks to keep their viewers entertained. Yoru, sage one tricks, judge abusers etc. Full time valo streamer is just pure brainrot and if you do variety you lose all your viewers. That's why I don't buy the argument that val pros should retire just cz their stream is popping. Look at shahz, dapr, wardell, hiko etc. people won't watch you if they don't see you as a GOD anymore and they won't stick around to watch you play random games if you don't have the personality to keep them hooked. Just stick to playing pro man that's what you are good at and valorant pro money is pretty good. Grass is always greener on the other side. TenZ ruined his perfectly fine career, wasting his talent and foregoing his fanbase and sanity pursuing money in streaming so other top pros learn a lesson from this. Pursue full time streaming only when you are washed and have no job offers.

Who is it gonna be? Whether this superteam is gonna make or break depends on this guy.

TenZ, Hiko, MaKo, Faker, DgZin, Alfajer, Sayf

tbf same kinda goes for valorant. I don't expect happy to watch every single european tier2 match when his main focus is Americas.

I used to think Ange1 is a genius but I lost all my faith in him. I heard the news of them cutting their best player suygetsu just to get hiro for outrageous salary apparently. That's crazy to me. They are on the same level so why would you waste all your budget on replacing suy when you desperately need a star duelist who needs to carry Ange1's bot ass? So stupid and it's not even fair for Koala.

happy is a good coach but giving your new coach the mantle for the transfer operations is a recipe for disaster. Man Utd is the prime example of that.

NAVI koalanoob

Who's they got? I haven't been able to keep up with the rumors

You ain't wrong. That brother loves to statpad

Eu downfall needs to studied. How are you filling up your only import spot with the third best duelist in NA challengers who doesn't even play most meta duelists? Like are we really that deprived of star duelist talents in Europe?

So I found this on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1f7jru3/vct25_roster_construction_rules_changes_from_2024/

It seems that the day of transfer window closing is the week before the stage 2 playoffs start( likely first week of july 2025(, however the last day of active roster lock for champs is in october! Can someone help me understand the difference between this two?

So, when is the roster lock for champs? last day of stage 2 playoffs?

NRG made changes after the second masters this year

that's the first deadline. There's another transfer window mid season I'm pretty sure.

What's the absolute last date of making a transfer next year? Answer only if you are 100% sure.

okay, that's fine but a lot of brazilians are like that. i'm sorry, nothing personal.

SEN above 100T is crazy work ngl.

That's not patriotism bro, that's nationalism. There's a difference.

TGRD branding was fire as well. They used to have the sickest match promos and graphics. What am i missing?

why does it matter? I swear this is so funny to me lol. Brazilian fans only care about and rate players with Brazilian genes. C'mon guys, expand your horizon a bit!

Need them in valorant because they have the coolest branding and the coolest jerseys 😍

kpop horny fans don't fuck with tenz thoough. Cuz he has a girl and he's already taken. So, your analyzation is completely wrong. These people didn't exist pre 2023 I am pretty sure. This hornification of VCT players started very recently, I reckon with zellsis first then johnqt and now reduxx. At least, with tenz fanboys, they were crazy about him for his gameplay and not his face.

I mean these are real people behind their computer screen, that's the sad part. Skill don't matter. That's why bang is getting so much hate already from these fans and they are begging for Zander because Zander got a pretty face.

No way you are that slow! It's their first game after his retirement and they knew he was going to be there so surely his fans turn up with some banners saying "I miss you tenz" and shit like that! Even zellsis snubbed him when he tried to handshake during SEN players walkout. It's pretty clear that they have bad bloods and the players and the fans got past the tenz chapter pretty quickly.

The problem is that they are fanboying not because of their in game skill but because of their face card. Thirsting over valorant players is extremely weird

It's kinda crazy to me how quickly they moved past their GOAT TenZ retiring lol. I have not seen a single TenZ sign in the RBHG arena. All of their twitter fans are busy thirsting over a teenager who isn't even signed to them. Zekken is doing insane carry jobs every game but my twitter timeline is filled with reduxx, zellsis and johnQT fancams. Pathetic tbh.

it's crazy

Now i get why TenZ retired. SEN needs eligible bachelor players to keep their fans engaged.

so my point stands!

At least he is not literally handicapped in every sense.
