It didn't say most 'versatile player' of the year, it said 'controller of the year' and Omen is a controller. TenZ doesn't choose who plays what?

valyn deserves the IGL of the year title for sure but 'controller of the YEAR'? over TenZ? That's just rigged

Because he called out Riot and made them look like clowns

viper plays like a senti. wdym? She doesn't have an universal smoke! This is common sense above diamond level. Do you think prime chamber was a senti just cz the game listed him as such?

Can't take an Optic fan seriously. Like ever. How is valyn more impactful as a controller over being the IGL who made a rookie team play this good? His impact is literally him being the 'modern FNS'. https://x.com/willminder/status/1815839974899736628 https://x.com/willminder/status/1816242655891972551

They wouldn't have to replace if they already had some good fkin PCs! Have you thought of that smartass?

valyn already had the IGL of the year award. They intentionally robbed TenZ

they should change their comps and agent pool just to prove a point to you? Viper isn't even a controller agent! You are very smart!

Literally the 3rd highest rated player of the year for Americas alone, despite being on smokes and on top of that won a fking trophy unlike any other NA team. Have some shame before you type baits like these.

So? EEIU won 'Initiator of the Year' without even going to Seoul or winning any trophy. Not saying he doesn't deserve it but TenZ absolutely deserves to be the 'Controller of the year'. Literally had the 3rd highest rating for the year playing smokes FFS

TenZ rattled Riot so much with that comment that they haven't given SEN a single award for the Season. The only team to bring home an International trophy this year! LMAO

Any aimers tierlist without TenZ in the top 3 is just a joke!

What does that mean? By defn, it's a superteam when all the players are considered one of the best 'individually' in their respective roles!

Doesn't need to thrive, just needs to complement Zekken and TenZ and don't leave gaps in his smokes. Or may be even JohnQT could play it, zellsis has been playing senti lately anyway.

Yes I do but I don't mind him on Omen either but it's a lot harder to carry games consistently on Omen.

Every team is different. SEN just needs a clear cut plan around them. The amount if impact TenZ has on omen with the flashes and aggressive entries is hard to replicate but on the other hand he will be able win rounds singlehandedly, alongside zekken. There's a tradeoff and they have to find the balance.

I like to be optimistic but in my honest opinion, the only way Sentinels gets out of that group is if they play double duelist.

1. If you look at teams like GenG, LEV, Fnatic, they have more than 2 players who have carry potential. Where as players like johnQT and Zellsis can step up in occasions they will barely carry the team towards victory when the going gets rough. Even from the players rating for the whole year, you can see it's upto the Tekken duo to own the server(other players on the team contributes in their own ways).
2. Duelists as a role is stronger than ever. Alt duelists like Neon, Iso, Yoru etc are better than ever and Jett, Raze are still very viable. Although, SEN has experimented with deadlock a bit, they haven't yet jumped on the new meta.
3. Zekken and TenZ are the perfect duo to complement each other in space creating duelists and support duelists roles. For ex. Zekken could play jett and TenZ iso or vice versa. Omen is a very strong agent for TenZ but as we have seen in the 100T game, he could get a 3k and SEN would still lose because he can't escape or make distractions like a duelist agent can.

True

Have you ever thought that may be that isn't good enough and that result was achieved DESPITE sacy playing really bad which makes me believe that this team without him can reach even bigger heights with more consistency?

SEN has had many issues over the years and they couldn't solve them at once. Right at this moment I don't feel they have many problems. They have a good IGL, a good support player in zellsis and tenz and a superb duelist in Zekken. If Sacy was performing or someone else in his position who can perform then I legit think they can be the best team itw, hands down. I consistent initiator player like trent, riens or eeiu will solve 80% of their problem imo. Sacy is too disjointed from the team in most fights and round deciding actions.

He was even worse last year expect that game against LOUD. What are you on about? I watch every single SEN game if my memory serves me right. Even sideshow was going to make video about how bad Sacy was but then he didn't do it because how he got backlash for that tenz video.

Shut up. i have supported SEN through thick and thin longer than you have been on this website. If you have to call names for me having a valid opinion then you have already lost. You would rather see SEN lose than your favorite player get any criticism. You are the one that needs to drop the flair.

most of them are not from sen fans. I almost never call for roster changes but sacy has been underperforming for the past 2 years! May be it's the team or the coach that can't accommodate him, idk but I just say what I see on my screen bro

No way! Valorant IQ of a bronze player then. How can anyone doubt Aspas LMAO

Who is to blame for those two 3k rounds on ascent? One where sacy died in a 2v3 situation to boostio in mid who was 5-15 in the game btw, the other where he and Zekken were last 2 alive in a 2v2 and both died without getting a single kill/trade.

Don't look at stats just watch the game. If you are losing, everyone's stat looks bad when the team is at disadvantageous situations and trying to overcompensate. But check how sacy makes mistakes and whiffs even in the stable state of most rounds.

SEN is one of the orgs that makes the least amount of changes, except that patch with syyko and has the most supportive fanbase. What you are saying is just not true, however changes are just part of the game and is an absolute necessity at times. You can just hide your head in the sand and pretend like nothing is wrong.

This is what I was talking about. Stating the obvious and criticism isn't 'hating'. If my sova dies first in 5 rounds in a single defense half on haven, imma complain about it.

Problem is sacy's always on a rough patch tbf

Makes sense

zellsis has bad games and good games but his decision making is not generally a problem. Sacy either gets caught early or baits his team, it feels like he doesn't know what to do unless it's a 1v3 clutch.

Why is criticizing sacy such a frowned upon thing? I watch these games and he clearly makes the most mistakes and is the most inconsistent. But then when you criticize him a flock of people will just jump on you as if you have committed a sin! They would say non-factual and untrue things with so much confidence. I have been a SEN fan for a long time, since the beginning so generally I want all of them to do well including sacy. But, is it wrong to say what i can see with my own eyes and have an strong opinion about it?

I HATE THIS BRO. He had an odin just move n shit shoot him wtf. He is flicking everywhere, you know where he is! Like wtf was that?

PLEASE FREEEEEEEE HIM IDC anymopre

100Ts father but can't do it alone on Omen unfortunately.

Zekken pushes A short with sacy and all sacy has to do is watch his back, gets killed by Boosttio from the back on A gigalurk anyway. YES he had a bad game but any duelist would be frustrated if their support players were like this.

LUL JohnQT should be setting him up on KJ, how dare anyone talk about sacy after his perfect droneplay?

He didn't get to do anything cz sacy kept getting caught on A site.

sacy had to get out and not get caught. SEN had double ini with paranoia. They should play one site retake perma. It's haven ffs!

He's too stubborn and egotistical. I don't understand why he flew curry out from home and then decided to play sacy. Like if he was so fine mentally and form wise you wouldn't have to play scrims without him just 1 DAY ago!

Why are you dying first 5 TIMES(1-5) as a sova player?!!! Can we talk about it or nah?
Nah? cz his util is the best? Okay.
Missed the simplest dart A short btw which led to Asuna get a kill and tp away.

He's a good player but not that fun in terms of style. He is pretty methodical. Prime marved was fun imo

so much success while making it crazy

And how often does he get success?

Show me one pro omen player that does what he does and gets so much success while making it crazy and fun at the same time. You go too crazy with the TPs and flash plays, it's very easy to look like a fool. It's not as easy as you make it seem.

We looking good yo. But don't jinx

It isn't nowhere close as fun as he makes it

If you are silent as a caster when someone aces you might actually lose your job. Of course they were hyped but still were pretty reserved. They were giving more props to keznit for getting eco kills and non-influential frags.

He legit does tho. He never gives tenz his flowers but quick to criticize when something doesn't work out. Even on the def pistol rnd on lotus when tenz made a play when they were throwing everything at him and he still got a kill and dinked another gut with a classic, he was saying it's bad play but tenz got lucky or some sht. It's deliberate

Hyped SEN up but intentionally avoided propping up TenZ.

sideshow and Bren still never talks about him or gives props to him. I know they hate him but why hate this much when he never even got back at you for all the sh*t you said about him? It's so shitty from them! All they talked about today are zekken and keznit. Insane duelist bias
