There's literally a mvp post from official valorant twitter. idc how you measure your mvp you fuck

Let me see his Raze tho

why are you lying? Official MVP was tenz. Vlr ratings are retarded at times.

TenZ hasn't even played yet you weirdo. Obsessed fck

it was. Look at the plant, he missed it. The plant is supposed to be just alongside the box. The planter fked it up.

not really. less clearly wasn't aware of that plant. If he knew he just wins, that reposition after the molly was perfect.

stupid plant

Bro what was that plant tho? surely a missplant right? cz that's not a intentional normal plant , can't even blame less for that

Facepalming so hard rn. He was actually considering getting N4RRATE apparently but didn't believe his guts. That's tough!

Had a flash and smoke but just fights dry! Is blud cooked?

this brother is just not built for this. it's so obv you are gonna get spammed if u shoot ur gun out in the open. just go in a corner!

You can just tell their comms are all over the place. Sometimes the players look so unaware? Language barrier?

Blud is actually clueless. Why did he not turn?

This guy is cooked in the head. Throwing the game so hard!

It has slower dmg but it does have effect

you can play both. you paly without a wall, the wingman just gets shocked or mollied

no

this comp ain't the best against sova shocks

check tenz streams. It kept dropping under 200fps even, zekkens was even worse. Given they were streaming, it's decent ig but still it's not great.

Idk what the specs are but you would be surprised how unoptimized and bottlenecked corporate PCs are. My college have PCs with RTX 3080s and those didn't even have X.M.P enabled LMAO

What's worse is that the pcs can't even consistently support 240fps apparently. LMAO

They can literally take a train from paris to madrid. It's easier to travel from LA to NY per se

KC has the craziest fans. they are gonna fill the stadium in blue 🤯

https://twitter.com/QueenNayru here you go bud

Imagine working for the most competitive region and you don't have faith in any of your representatives! mimi says EMEA will win and Kaquka says 100% EMEA will win, no chance for anyone else. That's just mad disrespectful to the NA fans. 🐍

🐍🐍🐍

Look at these fools mimi and sideshow fawning over EMEA when all the EMEA people like kaquka are extremely bullish on EMEA winning the whole event! Fk these people. No self respect at all

yeah. Even though I have included players from 5 teams, I feel like top players are gonna be chosen based on their teams making a deep run(at least playoffs) and I am pretty high one PRX making it far.

Would like to know which picks you disagree with.

These are my predictions for top players in each role at the end of masters Madrid.

Duelists: Zekken, something, t3xture
Initiators: cauanzin, f0rsaken*, sacy
Controller: TenZ, Karon. mindfreak
Flex: N4RRATE, Zellsis, Smoggy
Sentinel: Less, Meteor, JohnQT

Left to right, In that order.
EU fans can come at me all they want but I think EU is gonna flop big time.
*f0rsaken isn't a legit initiator per se and PRX don't have a full time initiator but he plays fade and yoru. Yoru is basically an initiator in my book.

Why have they released the fixture so early? Does this not give extra advantage to teams that haven't made it to madrid? Like for example, 100T has all the time to watch Sentinels play and form strategies and test out those specific strategies in scrims n stuff to prepare themselves against SEN! Whereas if SEN plays the final, they probably won't be able to start pracc again until early April. How is this fair? What's the hurry?

Classic counter strat. If you play the basic Fnatic comp it's pretty textbook but everything has to be perfect with that comp cz you don't have too much util to overwhelm the opponent and just rush A/B.

Their ascent is just not fully fleshed out imo. They definitely could have fixed that with the time they had in between Kickoff and the masters.

I mean they were bound to play each other since they are in the same group but this shit's so scripted that this is the first day fixture LMAO

Split ban would lowkey bee good for SEN if anything. The way SEN plays split is no rocket science, they just have a lot to their playbook so that they can make minor adjustments each round to have the outcome in their favor. Even though no one has done it so far, I think their split can be antied. I feel like their fundamentals have gotten so good that they would benefit from playing maps where they have shown less stuff.

You are just waffling blud. What do you mean going all in or not at all. The duelist player doesn't randomly decide I wanna go in or not. You make small plays all over the map to take control of space and choke the opponent off of that space, trade util that puts you in an advantages position to hit a site. It all has to be a coordinated team play, it just can't be him saying I don't wanna go in. If that was the case they would have booted him out already. You are fully ignoring the fact that JohnQT is a better IGL than dephh and marved. Zekken went 6-15 in a match against cloud9, you wanna tell me that was all his fault for making bad decisions and had nothing to do with his team getting outplayed?

I think the narrative of SEN not having a decent map pool is just overblown.

• On Ascent, they lost to 2 of the best teams on that map. Even if the scores doesn't show it, I think the game against NRG on ascent was very close tactically, they just made a lot of individual mistakes and lost crucial fights. They threw at least 3 very winnable rounds that I can remember off the top of my head.
• On Icebox, they couldn't incorporate gekko very well imo. Specially the wingman plants were getting hard countered by Loud and they ended up being in awkward situations. But their, macro overall was good imo.
• On Bind their comp and strats just got read by Loud but I think they have a very good understanding of the map still. So, I am pretty confident they will do well on Bind with whatever comp change, strategic changes they make.
• They only looked absolute garbanjo on Breeze imo. I don't think any minor change would fix that.

He hasn't changed his mind. He still hates tenz, you could just see it in his reactions. Even when he praises him it has to be a backhanded complement. I can guarantee that the next game SEN loses sideshow will be back with his chalkboard criticizing tenz play by play with his 20/20 hindsight.

Correct about what exactly? Judging a player based off of micro plays? What was your takeaway from his 'criticism' video? That he shouldn't make that specific movement on round 26 against LEV or whatever? You think he became a better decision maker all of a sudden cz he watched sideshows video about how to react in 5 random situations? LMAO

Stop glazing. The guy knew tenz was the most hated and most criticized player and he still chose to dogpile on him based on micro-plays . If you start analyzing players that way when you have the hindsight and full POV on your side you could even make Loud Less look bad, I am not kidding. In this game with how random everything is, everytime you lose a round you can blame a specific player for it. Sideshow did exactly that and he never made a similar video for anyone else.

Imagine claiming 3 whole regions to make a point! I am pretty sure the guy originally said EU as well

That's the good thing about SEN podcast, the rest don't feel regular. The C9 one felt so forced with vanity putting on a fake smile during the whole fkin thing!

Try finding Morocco on a map

Am i biased or do they do this shit better than anyone else? The rest of the podcasts from other teams just feel so disjointed and seems like bunch of valorant pros are forced to waffle! I just like how all of the SEN players show their personality a bit and not just like talking robots.

I hate this cringe ass sht man. They already get hella impressions on twitter. Why do they gotta bait people? I think kaplan renewed or something

idk

If they want to go the budget route this is an easy pickup imo.

Then raided neT to bring justice in the world of esports. GIGACHAD
