John could swap to ini role. Makes his life a lot easier anyway. As an IGL it's better if you are with the pack.

Less just signed with one of the most renowned international agencies that also represents TenZ, zekken and johnQT. Literally 3/5 of SEN and all these players have signed with prodigy right before they signed their contract with SEN. Rob Moore and his management clearly has a good relationship with them.

Some LEV players are also represented by them. Why is no one talking about this?

That's the problem. I have seen other bad rating data in the past from that account. It's literally garbage. Any statman would through that kinda rating list into the garbage bin.

Without taking min. rounds into consideration, tournament placement into consideration, this data has no value. It's garbage data. You can't call someone 'melhor jugador del mundo' based off a list that includes invy, less, trexx and primmie in the top 10 ffs

That's my point. It doesn't show anything. it doesn't prove Aspas is the goat if the data isn't even worth the page it's written on. Don't grasp at straws.

You don't get it, do you? They titled it 'Best players of valorant champions tour 2024' and it has players like Less, N4rrate,invy he didn't even participate in champs or masters. That's hella disingenuous. I could just bring in a player that probably played like 2 regional matches and call him the best? Do you take people for stupid?

Check willminder's list for example, he took min 200 rnds so you get players who actually made deeper run. That's the normal procedure. That's what your stat teacher would tell you if you ever took a statistics coach. Stats are there to paint picture of reality. What that account is doing is just presenting bad data and asking people to subscribe to their narrative.

That's not how stats work. You can't have a narrative already then present a dumb stat to prove that narrative. That's disingenuous and if you do that then no one is gonna take a seriously. Have you even seen the list? Real smart person LMAO.

Why is this account always posting the dumbest stats to glorify Brazilian players? No context for anything, no min rounds played taken into account.
Stats are there to paint a picture. If most of your players from the 'top players of the year' list hasn't even made to majority of the LANs or playoffs then what even is the point of this? Does Brazilan fans gobble this shit up too or do they call this clown out?

One plays to be the BEST player in the world, the other plays so that his team can be the BEST itw. That's the difference.

You will see a lot of leaks in September. Ascension Finals are in SEP and it's the last time for teams to get actual good scrims to trial out players.

I mean IGLs generally don't have a social media following. Only one that was available at that time with the same profile was FNS and I remember Rob Moore flirting with him, sending him SEN jerseys and Jackets etc. but him and s0m were a duo deal. Either way, let's see. If sacy leaves and they don't sign this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHI8VHovMhw they are just giga trolling

EG 23. It's not even close

Massive copium. If you have to say demon OR jawgemo that means none of them had the definitive MVP performance.

FAKE fan, RAGE bait. Don't fall for it SEN fans.

Yes, of course. People have a whitewash mechanism in their head for TenZ. It's when he has a bad game they glorify it but when he's doing good they just go silent and ignore it so people who are not really involved, don't understand the game or are real life NPCs they feel like he is just mediocre at best. Even the community gurus do this to appear smarter than they actually are because if you praise the popular guy people might think you don't have good analytical ability. You have to surprise the audience. Like "here this cornball75 guy, you've never heard of this guy but he's the best player itw. here's why. you see how much smarter I am compared to you? you've never thought of this huh." You will realize this if you watch platchat too. This is a very common denial mechanism actually.

probably but I don't see it happening. People might disagree with me but I don't actually think SEN is a very ambitious org. They might rather go for an already established name that has a better social media footprint but not as good. Say, curry for example. Also, FNS is a big fan of Verno, I could see NRG going all in for him.

I mean he originally chose to do CC/6th man for SEN than competing with another team. At the end he got lucky with a main roster spot because Kaplan needed a vibe guy but that wasn't the plan originally. Clearly, he doesn't put competing above everything else and I can't blame him. He likes streaming and being a goofball.

Social media doesn't have much to do with managerial decisions. It's just the social guy farming likes while at the same time giving tribute to their players. No one sniffed that they would drop SykkoNT or Dephh or marved from their social media posts. Their social was literally flirting with marved during the offseason when he must have been trialing for NRG already. It's two different things.

Why would they need to cut him if he decides to do content creation for them? Just like, tarik.

https://x.com/Zellsis/status/1828547947522617747

Aight, it's definitely a joke and a bait. But honestly it would make a lot of sense if he moved to CC. He has a contract that I don't believe pays him too much since he was signed as a sixth man CC. On top of that, with his personality and fame he got, he could easily farm 5K subs each month with very little effort. If I were him, I would just go to CC and try to take a portion of tarik's watch party views and build a new career from there.

On that note, if he does step down, who do you think SEN should get?

Nah you right. He should just instalock Clove and Deadlock ignoring the team comps prepared by Kaplan just a prove a point to vlr.gg. That seems like a good idea!

Bro I am not saying he is the best player itw. People literally asked for him to get cut. No one in the community put him in their top 20 list for champs. My point is that he wasn't as bad as people made it seem. That's why 'UNDERRATED'.

Talented for sure but I don't think he is underrated.

When did TenZ fall off exactly? LMAO He had 1.12 rating for the regular season, that's like the 3rd best among all Americas players lol. Even when they lost, TenZ was holding down his end of the bargain and everyone knows how hard it is to perform on flex role when your team is shitting the bed. You basically have to retake all the time cz SEN had horrible defense which tanks stats even further. This is one example.
I have problems with many other rankings too tbh. The names on the list seem fine but the ranking is ludicrous and the justification for them are just plain lies at times.

He was one of the best players during the regular season and he is very versatile. FNC had lots of problems during the year and people blamed Derke for FNC underperforming. May be right now, after his playoffs performances he is getting some love but throughout the whole year people just hated him.

Hmm. Doubt. People have been shitting on him all year and he doesn't even get mentioned on the same sentence as Aspas, T3xture or zekken.

He is really good on individually. But KOI was just ass for majority of the year. His jett is insane imo

🤓

1. Derke
2. c0m
3. kamo
4. Cryo
5. Zellsis

Won't explain further. If you know, you know.

YOU ARE LOST BROTHER LMAOOO

like who?

They have to be part of the problem cz emil had success with this org before. They beat FNATIC couple of times when EMEA was basically a one team region.

He is a very versatile player and his understanding of the game is very good. He has mean skye and Breach so I am pretty sure he would be insane as a flash initiator for the right team.

Did you meet nihso there?

yall are so nosy ffs. This ain't kpop twitter bro

Too many cooks in one kitchen is never a good thing. NRG is your prime example. Either keep this duo or impose an assistant coach or HC on Kaplan.

why would you give a disclaimer when you can just edit him to the list. Also, johnQT- Deadlock is such an obvious bait! You ain't fooling anyone buddy

I'm sorry but this has to be the most r3tarded list ever. No tenz for Omen and Kayo but you remembered Asuna? No zekken for Raze? No s1mon for Breach? No eeiu for fade? No Benjy for Cypher? Deadlock for johnQT??? LMFAOO this has to be the worst bait ever.

Fake ratings. He was only good against GenG, not even good, just decent. However, he was straight ass during both split of the regular season.

Making it to the grand final is much better than watching the tournament from home. You should know better as a NRG fan @Asuna_Yuuki

Don't even know who that is but good for him if he's just like me

6-7 players from the most successful teams(TH and GenG) can be considered as rookies. Even, EDG got a lot better with a rookie coming in. You have nothing to apologize for. Americas teams have got some terrible place holder initiator players. Only competition for verno that I can see are eeiu and trent.

Ok sacy, log off from your burner bro. No one rates s0cy in the same tier as riens and wo0t. Stop the cap

Has to be baits then. No serious person thinks that but CN will be the best region in 3 years, that's for sure.

This revisionism is insane to me. Just 4 months ago you was being called the GOAT and it wasn't even much of a contest!

Except, no one is saying that. Stop lying to make a point

None of them were won because of s0cy. Stop dick riding him, pray for him to leave and your team might finally get good enough to compete in Americas.

You need to get prescription glasses then. MiniBoo has one of the highest FK success rate in Champs

you are not very smart
