Wait why did people think Wardell would even be picked up in the first place? No hate to the guy I like Wardell but I don’t think he will be seen much in the tier1 space, possibly ascension league if he decides to play for a team but I mean that’s about it.

Done well here, done real well. I respect it.

Feel like a few of them their careers are up in the air, I could see someone like Trent being picked up, possibly Saya back to T1 or Gen.G. Valyn is another who “could” be picked up but it’s all up to what EG wants to do with the roster and possibly if SEN thinks of picking up Trent.

Let’s just say they retired.

Could be interesting to say the least. But I feel like that roster over at PRX is literally like a brotherhood, they seem to be suuper close with one another and I also don’t see F0rsaken wanting to split from Benkai and Jinggg.

I don't think its a matter of "handing out favors situation" I think its literally about Dephh being a more established IGL internationally than Valyn...

I feel like you're wasting his talent as a 6th man no? I know he's a content creator as well and it would be a massive signing for 100T but TenZ still has that competitive drive no? Unless hes stated he wants to move back into content creation. I think Ethan hit the nail on the head when he was streaming that 6th man on a roster never pans out well competitively for the 6th person. I assume alot of these 6th players will be like tier 3 players who they will bring up with them.

I never minded Shanks, he's always good for a laugh.

Well possibly but now they’ll have to look for a new coach as mCe has gone to C9. Also I don’t see that team sticking together, they’ll all leave and join their own respective teams.

Oh he’s free to play, just no team wants him. Also the whole “he did nothing wrong” that’s just wrong and even you know it. You just posted this for clicks and clout. Look at the end of the day the whole situation was handled so poorly, from both his end, her end and even Riots end, the situation was just super messy but nothing got resolved.

After he came back from the accusations and was streaming again I used to watch him a fair bit, then just stopped watching him. Occasionally I’ll stop by his stream and watch for a little but it’s like depressing to watch, he seems so uninterested in the game it self and streaming looks like chore for him. Wasted talent in the pro scene too, his whole situation was handled so poorly on both ends, so I don’t think we will ever see him playing for a tier 1 team.

Problem is, This year alone I wouldn't say TenZ WAS the face of Valorant, matter of a fact, the slump Sentinels fell into brought the spotlight on other players playing extremely well at the time like yay or even Marved, even Ardiis and ANGE1 when they won Masters. Not to say TenZ won't be the face of Valorant anymore but not making any International Events truly made us look at other players playing extremely well. You could even make a case for Forsaken and Jinggg. I would be surprised if SEN doesn't just completely rebuild around TenZ as a player but at the same time wouldn't if that makes sense? Seems as if Sentinels wants to refresh the whole roster and I can respect that.

Yeah I feel like a fresh IGL and coaching staff around TenZ would do him wonders on SEN but it wouldnt entirely surprise me if they let him go. They have their content cow in Tarik now so its not like they'll struggle to hold fans.

Is this confirmed anywhere? If true that sucks, Championship winning team absolutely deserves a pay increase.

Hopefully Sykko ends up on a team next year. That dude is actually a hella smart coach and transformed the fuck out of XSET after the disaster that Copenhagen was.

Honestly it doesn't really make much sense, He's a Championship winning Coach, surely if he asks for a raise a deal can be made no? Unless its some stupid number and he wouldn't budge but that wouldn't make much sense. Plus how were they so happy to just let him go? Something seems fishy..

Nah if you actually beleive that was a "mistake" then thats just silly, he's clearly upset that he's been told to explore his options as he probably assumed NRG would keep the starting roster. That roster on paper was considered a "super" team, its just they didn't perform when they needed to.

I like the approach, hopefully it pans out of them. SEN brings big numbers so if they can get a good roster together they’ll do well next year.

I think from what I’ve read, the stuff that Sentinels was interested in didn’t pan out. To be fair, I like the slow approach they’re taking to this, not just rushing a roster together seems as if they’re really putting in the effort to select the best 5 and I respect that.

Dude I couldn’t believe Ethan’s F/A post “Sorry, NRG made Partnership but I didn’t” did this dude actually think his spot was safe? His whole post was disrespectful as fuck, I get that he just lost his spot on a team but did he really think he was in the top 25 players in NA who deserve a franchise spot, cmon man what a fucking joke…

I think they probably still would have won Iceland, Sentinels were at their peak when they won Masters. Yeah would be interesting to see how high he would have gone and how he would have evolved as a player in the meta and stuff. Sinatraa was always a smart player who understood the game at a very high level and was pretty good at reading the enemy. Sucks to see him go out the way he did.

I feel like his career as a T1 pro is over unless evidence comes out that clears him 100%. I'm not saying the allegations are true its just the whole situation was handled poorly and there wasn't an actual outcome that was black and white. He had alot of potential as a pro and I think he knew that. I don't watch his streams much or even his youtube stuff but occasionally I do drop by his stream for maybe 15-30 minutes and he just seems so un-interested in playing ranked in this game which sucks because his true passion was competing.

He's not really stuck in limbo though. He's free to compete it's just no team really wants to touch him because of his past. When he was free to play again there were some teams interested but that's as far as it went unfortunetly. I assume we will see him next year in Ascension League on a FA team. The problem is, as you said, the whole thing was handly poorly on both ends, by Riot and by him. That's why I beleive it's hard for any org to even consider him because he was never proven guilty or innocent, it just kinda went away after she said the whole police case was taking a toll on her Mental Health so would be closing the case for now or someshit.

I’m not sure what you mean by that, are you saying that people don’t describe his issues or he himself doesn’t describe his issues? I’m sorry it’s just what you said doesn’t really make sense.

Sometimes you gotta make cuts to see success, ShahZ should be thankful SEN even kept him on as long as they did after all the losses after Iceland. He’s had a decent career ShahZ. Winning the first International LAN event, and all the shit in between. I don’t hate the guy, I just don’t think he’s as good as many dick ride him to be and his time as a Tier 1 IGL is over.

Ofcourse they do. No one is saying FNS is immune, it’s just when you don’t have success and your IGL is doing the same thing over and over and people are pointing out what you’re doing wrong yet you keep doing it makes you think “I don’t think he has any idea what he’s doing” Goodluck to ShahZ dude if he wishes to continue but if not I’m sure content for him will still be as good, after all his streams and stuff have always done well and he’s told us many times that he makes more money streaming than he does Competing.

Sucks how it all happened, he was really starting to cement himself, especially once they got to LAN, he looked amazing. Hopefully a team picks him up because he deserves it.

Tier 2 at best IGL, happy to see SEN refresh the roster with new faces. At the end of the day, ShahZ’s best IGLing isn’t in this meta, he struggles to currently read the game. I dislike how in that whole video he was basically saying “well it’s not my fault” when you’re an IGL, you are the leader, it’s your job as an IGL to lead the team to win, so yeah, it kinda is his fault. I understand outside factors play a big part and he can only do so much, but as an IGL everything gets put back on you because you’re the leader.

I'm not insulting you? I'm pointing out your age? How at all is that an insult? You are further proving my point though so I thank you for that.

Damn that's actually sad man, I really thought that 5 together would actually win something.

It's all good, I've just now reaslised i'm actually arguing with a 13 year old. My apologies, it's not your fault you're too young to understand things in a bigger picture.

No I know I'm not wrong I know you are exactly wrong it's just YOU won't admit it and we will continue to run around in circles. Asking me to shut up and calling me a dumbass proves this. You know you are wrong so you conform to insults to try prove your point.

Wait they aren’t sticking together in franchising? Dude that roster was actually good?

Listen, there is no point of me trying to use logic on you because you don’t actually understand it. So I’ll happily stop replying here but maybe one day you’ll realise kills aren’t the be all and end all to this game professionally.

So FNS has never been Radiant? I’m asking you because you seem to care. No, immortal is in fact the minimum, not every player on every team is Radiant… and No not every coach is Immortal/Radiant, Chet is like Gold or some shit, a lot of GOOD coaches don’t play ranked.

Problem is I see a roster like EG staying together initially to “see if it works” then later doing roster moves. Something tells me that org believes that roster will do well Internationally…

I have no idea what the first part of that sentence says, my brain actually hurt trying to decipher it. There is a rank requirement to play professionally… again, seeing as you’re a scoreboard Andy you would know that right? Or do you just spew your garbage takes without doing any research or knowing what you’re actually talking about?

You know deep down TenZ’s Raze needs work, he’s not god awful on it, but compared to the rest of the good Raze players in Tier1 he’s a lot lower down. But his yoru cold

The fact that you openly sit here and say FNS is shit and ShahZ is good says alot about you. Bro wake up, ShahZ is fucking shit, he’s washed, he can’t IGL anymore, this meta isn’t the best meta for him anymore, he barely understands the game anymore. Doesn’t matter if YOU think it’s a 4v5 the shit you don’t see FNS doing is what actually matters, not him shooting, that’s why they had yay and the rest of them… The fact that you think kills matter in professional play for an IGL astounds me, you have got to be 13 years of age…

Trash bot who still is a Masters winner, and all the other accolades he has in finishes for this calendar year alone. ShahZ won 1 Masters when some of the best teams weren’t even there, then proceeded to piss the bed and not qualify for ANYTHING all year not to mention the fact that kills means fuck all when you’re a good IGL, most you got was a pity LCQ run.All you do is dick ride ShahZ and hate on FNS when FNS is actually a good IGL, teams would kill to have the brain of FNS lead them to the success he did with OPTIC. You are fucking braindead if you think kills means more than success. Make fun of 100T all you want. That roster was together for 3 months and made it to an International LAN, where was SEN all year?

Ahh yes, because 1 player makes the team… not the the IGL and coach setting the team accordingly. I can’t wait till next year when ShahZ is still the IGL and SEN do absolutely nothing, I’m going to ask for your reason as to why you think they pissed the bed again.

He’s had more success than ShahZ who you dick ride everyday… I don’t see why you’d want him out of NA? Why so ShahZ can piss the bed again and prove to you that he’s still a terrible IGL?

Nah, they’ll keep Rawkus and ShahZ and just be the meme team of the America’s league, Riot won’t say anything because it’s bringing eyes to the game.

I think with all the talent out there in NA, like actual tier 1 talent, I don’t see Ethan as a tier 1 player. He was good to begin with at 100T but later became a liability, and he hasn’t had a great deal of success at NRG. Would not surprise me if we see him dropped and on an Ascension team come next year.

Honestly I hope they do, but something tells me they’re going to stick with that 5 and just see how it initially goes, then look at roster changes maybe down the line.

Makes sense on why yay didn’t sign with them then. Oh well, guess we will have our meme team for VCT next year. SEN do make good content so I can’t wait till they keep losing and their fans just keep saying “BuT ShAHz iS a GoOd IgL”

Yeah very true, I just assumed FNATIC would have given the roster with maybe leaving Mistic out a chance, but it does make sense why they're looking else where.

No I understand that, I think if Franchising wasn't a thing I think Enzo keeps his spot on the roster. It's just now you have to evaluate what will actually win you Championships. I just assumed they would have given Enzo a longer run on the roster for what he brings to the roster in terms of co-IGLing but I get why they did it. At the end of the day now that Franchising is a thing you need to build the best roster possible.

I didn't quite understand why they let Enzo go. He played insanely well at Copenhagen and I thought the addition of him co-IGLing was actually having impact. I understand his Champs run was pretty average but I just assumed they'd keep him on. I can understand the Mistic cut as he struggles to find consistency right now and only shows glimmers of his best, and with the addition of Franchising he is replaceable but I didn't think they'd get rid of Enzo.

I don't hate ShahZ, I think hes had a pretty good career in Valorant and has done ALOT for Sentinels, but going into next year you cannot say he deserves the IGL role after the year he's had. Does'nt mean he's a shit player I just think in this current meta hes fallen behind. Props to ShahZ on the amazing career he's had but I think a fresh IGL in Sentinels can put them back up the top.
