💀 That's harsh bro!

For this tournament cz they aren't even gonna qualify at this rate. Roster changes can happen after cz they have loads of time before their next tournament.

Honestly, Just let ShahZam play Jett for the rest of the tournament. He isn't getting any value out of sova anyway. He can't hit shit with the ult, can't hit someone with the shocks even if he knows someone is tucked inside a corner. Just put TenZ on chamber, he will make it work I hope at least he is good with the sheriff! Ik changing comp rn would be a bold move but they don't play according to their comp anyway. They don't take advantage of their comp, they just play like how they used to a year ago!
kanpeki- Sova/Skye/KayO
Shahz-Jett
TenZ- Chamber
Sick- Controller
dapr- Sage/Viper

Or just bring in Coach Rawkus and put him on sova cz he has experience playing sova on FaZe.

No, they never bootcamped. They were in LA for photoshoots, promos and that sort of stuffs. They were filming for few days

I don't like to quote ShahZam here but he once said " If you don't know how to play the game then what good bootcamp is gonna do?" which is true but so far every team that has been bootcamping was on extra gear! I mean I don't think TGRD run would have been as much successful without bootcamping. TSM, 100T, Akrew etc. are all playing a lot better as they are on bootcamp. Seems like it's the most productive way to practice and there are some intangibles that you just can't get from playing from your home!

Let's be real though, you guys gobble up anything sinatraa says as if he is the second coming of god!

People don't realize he dies anyway if he comes out slow walking cz they were holding a perfect angle and the octagon guy makes the first contract with an OP. If TenZ had an updraft it would have been the perfect play but the play wasn't about getting the kill anyway. I am sure he said i am gonna dash, trade me cz SEN have number advantage and if his teammates get the trade they would have easily won but all of them just somehow died!

Looks like he is frustrated and is trying to contribute desperately.

Who are you getting as an IGL though? Sinatraa would be an infinitely better sova than shaz but sova is out of meta already and they desperately needs a leader.

100T is the only one that can pull that off also there's the Kyedae link. But Will is doing good rn, so I don't know.

True. You can't make people better by hating on them. SEN could have millions of fans and community expectations but at the end of day we have to realize they tried their best on the server, if they are not good enough they are not good enough! That's it, really.

💀 noooo not the super sub!

nabbed from vlr LMAO https://www.vlr.gg/97659/tenz-admits-it

Sentinel's year is over. As much as we fans want change and more commitment, it's unlikely that SEN will make any significant changes before 2023. ShahZam was already gonna pursue content creation in the long run, he is just stalling his pro career for clout and money. On the otherhand, there's no guarantee SEN will do anything good in the LCQ even with significant roster changes so it's unlikely they would make heavy investments before they have any idea about what's the new league is gonna look like.

Sentinels should just disband. They don't have money for anything and they are ruining the career of two world class players in SicK and TenZ. If they had semi decent setups and co-ordination they would still be at least a top 5 team.

😬

SEN broke AF. They can't spend money on anything to help the team.

man can't shoot bro. Pressure is getting to him.

He baits more than Hiko nowadays ngl. Remember how he baited SicK on the winning round against FaZe on Haven. SicK got 3 kills and he just sat there and didn't try to trade!

He MVPs on Jett tho!

still can't get over how he lost that clutch where dapr got like a 4k and the Jett had 5hp while Shahz is on post plant with shock dart n shit. And he just wings the shock dart before the jett even taps? I can't bro. Did he hit a single sova ult? I don't think so.

What is shaz doing bro? can't hit a single ult, doesn't know how to effeciently drone, none of his shocks hit and how clutches did he lose? He lost against a guy with 5 hp and when hes on post plant with shock dart n shit!! Actually can't with this guy

This guy is the most popular valorant player, an esports icon, rich AF, has a cute GF, won 2 masters and has just turned 21! I am getting insecure about life just at 20 ngl 😭

These guys ain't Real madrid. None of them had to deal with these many fans and this much spectations in their whole career and it shows that they are crumbling under pressure. You can see in their gameplay that they are not confident at all. Shahz said after not making it to Iceland that they were playing to not lose rather than to win and I think it's still the case.

The amount of time TenZ got the fb on ascent attack against FaZe and still managed to lose the rounds make me mad still.

Can't give them a coach, no analyst, couldn't sign Ethan cz of budget, can't setup a bootcamp. Why do you say TenZ needs to go though? He is the only one who is pulling his weight!

That could actually be a good move. TenZ is worth more than even regardless of how his team is doing. Letting go a brand like TenZ would be difficult but SEN is broke Af. Offloading TenZ would give them much needed cash money and Wardell is free anyway.

That's not difficult considering s0mple isn't even radiant!

Everyone knows he is one of the best OPers in the game but his rifling looked extremely good as well last qual. People were already questioning his ability to be a team player and V1 not qualifying might have hurt his image in that regard but I still think he would be a great asset to any decent team. Which team do you think he would perfectly fit in & would make them a top 8 team?

You jinxed him. Now he is gonna suck dick in the next quali

Change the IGN to IgetPegged97 to prove that it's yours.

There's is something really captivating about his nonchalant attitude. Ig that's why people love him so much!

SicK will get better on controller with time. He is already making smart plays and making impact plays to win them rounds which zombs wasn't doing. zombs was a better anchor obv but with a bit more time SicK will get there as well. They don't need any role shift rn imo. Just needs more team chemistry.

You could take the BOLD points as tldr ig.

Fair. My point is that SicK looked promising on smokes, all he needs to do is refine some aspects of his gameplay. About Shahz, anti-strating is obviously not viable in every situation. Sometimes you just don't have enough data on a team or a new patch. I made that reference to make the point that his IGLing used to be quite good cz he used to put the hours in. May be he lost his touch and keep up with everyone alone without a coach by his side but I have faith that it can only get better with more time with this roster.

It's not the NA scene. it's just SEN that gets constant criticism. V1 gets a pass for having a sub, that too is Wardell who was carrying them but people are up in arms when SEN isn't at their best with a new team.

The game and the teams playing it have changed a lot since Iceland.

Wardell. Even though it's stolen it's just got a nice ring to it

Has he been keeping up with Valorant though? Meta has changed a lot since he left and he needs to keep up with how the teams in NA plays rn as well.

Everyone has answers when the team is failing and Everyone is a admirer when the team is getting success. That's how it goes, it's understandable tbh.

They definitely had less than a week. Kanpeki got announced on the deadline day of locking rosters and SEN were trying out other players too.

Ascent didn't look all that bad. Their site holds are good but they couldn't take advantage of getting the first pick in lot of the attack rounds against FaZe. Also, losing both pistol rounds didn't help! Their team comp and some of the plays SicK and kanpeki were making together were promising. As i have said I expect Shahz to call better going forward.

Might go up for once. Whatever people say, SEN needed a change from zombs. We need to give them a bit more time to build synergy with the new roster and role change!

Whatever dude. It might be copium but I honestly believe it.

Listen, I have been upset for all the things they are being criticized for, like not having a coach, ShahZam not being committed enough or not giving good calls but now that I had a little bit of time to cool down i think they are on the right track and would get better with few adjustments. I am going to list all the positives for clarity-

1. All the series they lost were really fkin close. Like the match against FaZe was lost by one round! It could have been gone differently if SEN just played off of each other differently or kept their composure in advantageous situations! They lost a 3v5 advantage, a 3v1 clutch on haven and a lot of rounds on ascent where TenZ got the first pick! Against LG they threw away a 9-3 lead and lost all the clutches in gun rounds! They were extremely sloppy in clutch situations and lacked team chemistry a bit which is understandable from a team which just had a roster change and had role shift for one of their most important players! With time and more server work together i feel like they can only get better.

2. Their Split is horrible and having to play that map made them look a lot worse than they actually are. At this point I expect them to ban split right away but if they don't they have some things to take away from their losses on split. Their comp on split isn't the most suitable for how they like to play. Dapr looked hella good on sage on fracture against LG. I think they should put dapr on sage and kanpeki on Chamber. That way they can have an OP presence like they initially wanted to with the Jett pick and kanpeki can also play an agent he is comfy with.

3. Contrary to what most people think, SicK and Kanpeki looks really good on their respective roles. Yes, SicK has been getting a lot of flak for not fragging in abundance but he has been making smart uses of TPs and the ultimate to make good plays. I remember at least 3 rounds on bind where he won them the round with his tp plays. He might not be as good of an anchor as zombs yet but he is already a lot better in finding impact by making confident plays. Also, Kanpeki is getting a lot of hate but he has played really well on KayO and skye. If you are to be a scoreboard Andy then look at the assists too! He is setting up his teammates as he should and on top of that he is really versatile.

4. ShahZam underperformed massively as an IGL and also as a player, which is uncharacteristic of him. I have never seen Shahz play this poorly and i expect him to do a lot better in the coming qualifier. I believe he is going to put a lot of server work to improve his skye/breach. He was the king of Anti-stratting and prepping once, idk what made him call so bad this tournament but I believe in him. With team chemistry building and with prep his IGLing would only get better from here.

Finally, I want to end with a caution as well. If i am not mistaken, the 2nd open is gonna be on the new patch and idk if fade is gonna be meta and if so, how she is gonna work in team comps. So, SEN has a massive job in finding the right combinations. Regardless of how this tournament has went for them, i think they have a lot of 'good' to take away, they got a lot of necessary practice from playing in the tournament which they don't get otherwise [pun intended]! Jokes aside, Even though they are under a lot of pressure they should keep building on what they already have. Naturally, everyone is asking questions but I don't think the answer is hard to find. This roster has shown promise all they need to do is work, work and work. #FullSEN

tarik doing what we couldn't. Get rob moore's ass!

Why shouldn't he? They are not scrimming rn and he isn't the IGL nor the coach.

Is the 2nd quali on new patch?

LG looking good man and V1 not so good! Imagine if we didn't throw that hard on Bind and one gun round went differently?

So we are the ones that inflating the price of a SEN coach since we fans keep asking for a coach! Think about that! Sorry mb Shahz :(
