what are you even trying to say, how are you defining "living up to the hype" LOL he's doing great for his debut matches. did you want him to drop 40 kills every map or something? tenz doesn't do that shit

he isn't even underperforming he's literally the chart topper for nv every map LMAO what is this revisionism

i think they entirely have to do with teamplay, he plays like this because it was required of him for andbox to win, they just haven't ironed out the kinks yet

they had 5 days of practice why do people act like hes making these plays after months of practice with nv

edit: think of it this way. everyone can see that he's fragging hard and has massive impact every map for nv. what is the point of criticizing nuances that would OBVIOUSLY get ironed out with more practice with the the team, when they have been together for less than a week? its like saying the sky is blue

never seen a breach aftershock kill 2 players till today turkey revolutionizing the game

every category wrong in some way

also people still saying wardell is a better jett than yay when their awps are comparable and wardells rifle is literal ass OMEGALUL

too early to get cocky

all the best fps players like "dapr" and "shahzam" the peak of na csgo right

agreed, i think if nv play tsm again in lowers it will be much more of a stomp. today's match was literally yay's debut game, i expected it to be rough around the edges. the more games this 5 plays together the better they will become, 5 days of practice for this result is very solid.

if this is based off of just today's matches subroza should be higher, he was one of the main reasons tsm was relevant in breeze and ascent

top 10 i agree with rest is pretty much conjecture so no point debating those spots

will need a miracle to beat xset, then a double miracle to beat nv

used to be yay but now its definitely either him, dre, or gmd

yeah but he's not the one trying to roast someone infinitely more successful

crazy games, what a series

he misses right click and just knifes him LMFAO

definitely not mad wardell got diffed by yayster

i think he's too used to having to one man army for his team, 1 week with nv isn't enough to kill off habits

such a good match so far

hey it's the guy that said wardell is infinitely better than yay then deleted his comments after tsm lost

0/8

"yay most overrated player" LOOOL tsm literally revolves around wardell and he went negative in fk fd

yay 18-6 FK FD
wardell 5-6 LMFAO

my favorite part is seeing all the ppl that shit on yay delete their comments like that wind_vlt guy

yay plays for the team, tsm plays for wardell

babybay punching the air rn

t sided map

i don't understand your point about yay. people didn't give a damn because they just didn't watch abx play. anyone that watched abx in the past 60 days knew yay was a fucking beast. people aren't overrating him, they just finally started to notice

just saying once they nerf the dash so it goes in the direction you're facing wardell is going down a tier

i wonder if xeppaa is a case like autimatic where they underperform a LOT once they're finally comfortable they become very strong players. because the sentiment from pros suggests that xeppaa has the potential to be one of the best, it's just not happened yet. i dunno

stopped reading at drone

i remember lakia playing raze against v1 and it seemed really clean, what happened?

if envy had 2-3 weeks to practice i would favor them a lot more but on this short notice the game is a coinflip, maybe 40-60 favoring tsm

definitely possible. people forget how much a star duelist can activate the rest of the team

vice mada aleksandar kanpeki +1

Team Weibo 2-0 Rise Nation i heard it from shanks stream

Could not disagree more. At Iceland you could literally see fnatics inexperience get to them as their nerves started showing. Terrible mid round calling + slow to change + couldn’t control momentum at all

only accurate comment in the thread

lol lowkey shaz has been getting triggered about yaya for the past week, ppl keep spamming EL DIABLO XDD whenever he plays him in ranked so I’m not surprised he blew up a little

doesn’t help that yay shits on him in ranked every time lol

I want to see how fast vlr switches up on yay just because one pro said something though, he went from “most underrated” to “overrated trash” in the span of a week

zombs: this guy's a demon bro im gonna get one tapped

i played in the alpha test, first game i played against nickwus five stack and got bent over trying to figure out how sage wall worked

comparing yay on abx to tenz on sen makes no sense for obvious reasons. i believe tenz is slightly stronger but if you’re gonna compare the two tenz on c9 would be more analogous, but that shit was ages ago as well

if we're looking at c9 i would point out xeppaa before leaf. people were gassing him up to being one of the best players in NA, pros included. but the guy has been mediocre at best so far, maybe needs more time before i judge him tbh

eh they are the best on paper for sure but it's not "by far" at all

victor and yay are the only duelist duo that can compare to sick and tenz, crashies sova is better than shaz's, marved and zombs are similar in firepower, fns is the weak link mechanically though

if the reason he can't win is because of his team how does that make him overrated. also comparing him to tenz on c9 is a compliment no?

8/8

history of leading different teams to success
pioneering strategies/creating setups that other teams later adopt
ability to defeat teams that are considered to be mechanically stronger through intelligent play
incorporating individual play in a way that synergizes with your calling
testimonies from other pro players remarking on their game knowledge

examples of igls i would consider great: glaive, gob b, ex6tenz, fallen, steel (for chaos) in valorant i would say vanity

wardell and yay will cancel each other out. its basically a 4v4 at that point

obviously, im not saying hes a dogshit igl and sentinels are carried by individual skill. im saying he's an average igl who does enough for where the team can succeed

hes overrated because fans think hes literally the einstein of valorant and that he's singlehandedly outbraining every team they play against

yes it's definitely his calling style that makes
tenz the best player in the world
sick the most flexible player
dapr one of the most creative sentinels and clutch
zombs the best single site anchor

shahzam is a great player. one of the best for sure. but his igling prowess is not the reason sentinels are so good lol
