People are weird and love to hate, and are probably just jealous of sinatraa's success.

We both got downvoted. Some delusional people here just like to hate on Sinatraa.

Sinatraa with zombs and Subroza.

Dude, what's with all you guys. This is what they are supposed to do. What do you want them to say, sth like "C9 are playing really well, but SEN are doing a good job, sadly things aren't going their way though", just say it how it is "C9 are destroying SEN, and SEN are playing like TSM after First Strike, a Tier 3 team".

zombs too, he was a good smoker, they just had to bench someone and zombs was the bottom fragger.

I think SicK is the best, but Dapr is good too.

The battle of has-beens. TSM at least did try, SEN seemed like they just gave up midway.

Actually, they bought him as both. And knowing SEN (the org) they care more about popularity than winning.

He gets good numbers in his streams, that has to count for sth.

I think maybe a different role within the team, like assistant coach or the likes would suit him better. But who knows, maybe getting someone else might just make it worse. They should try aceu :P (btw I started following Valorant because of Aceu and Dizzy)

Yeah, true, but as I said the talent is there, so I do truly believe it will get better.

Don't you think they need to replace hazed?

The talent is there, the support is not (i.e. coaches, analysts, IGLs and so on).

It would be more interesting if NRG lose, because then we'd have 3 teams fighting for the 4th spot.

Under CIS (Russia), but since C9 is an NA team, everyone is meming with "NA CS is back"

The title says it all. C9 just won IEM Dallas 2022.

Yeah, I agree with that, but I think streaming Valorant for hours does that too, although not as much. Either way, I still believe Shahz needs to be replaced or step down from the IGL position, I don't think he has the right mentality to continue. I don't know what SEN are gonna do, probably nothing since they are not like the other orgs which care a lot about winning, but who knows, they might get some of the LG guys.

I understand the second part, but if he cannot do the competitive part, he should get replaced by someone else and maybe take a different position, like an assistant coach or sth. I know about his dad, but that was more than a year ago, during the First Strike.

Force to stream? You mean SEN is forcing him?

That depends. If you don't have good players or good strats obviously not, but if you have really good players, like SEN does, practicing definitely helps a lot.

More time to practice, to go through VODs, strats and so on. I am not saying he shouldn't stream at all, he definitely should, but IMO streaming should come second to competing, which is not the case with Shahzam.

I honestly want Shahz out of this team. I think he is the main problem in SEN. He just wants to stream and earn money that is it, no competitive drive at all. If anyone disagrees, feel free to reply.

Well, OpTic is the best in NA currently, while I think G2 aren't really that good. Yes, they have done really well so far, but I still think they are gonna mess up in Masters. Just my take.

1. FPX
2. Fnatic
3. OpTic
4. G2

Making it to semis is not being mediocre. The rest, you have a point.

Who would wanna get Hiko? Genuinely asking.

.

It's hot enough.

They need to get 3 players from V1 and keep Asuna and Ethan and they are good to go.

There are several reasons for that. One being CSGO and how dominant EU has been there. The second would be EMEA winning Masters 3, and Champions, and the third simply the fact that all 4 EMEA teams in the champions were first seed in their groups and out of 4 teams, 3 of them made it to the semis and the final was an EMEA final. What more do you want?

I can understand Gambit and Acend, but what is going on with Liquid?
