babysasuke solos you buddy

rumor is that FLY is replacing them, but I have no clue why the tf it’s taking them so long to at least confirm it

took my six-year-old sister to the park to play with her friends today and one of her friends there I knew of was circling around a pole nonstop shouting "TenZ". I asked him what he was shouting about to quiet him down a bit and he told me "sentinel are best in da world" with a big fat smile which was immediately followed by a Zellsis booty shake. I'm glad to be of witness to the future gen of the Val community.

everyone always says its a virus link but when is it rly, someones gotta switch up the game

Ethan actually just landed back in LA, maybe by the end of the month we'll see smth since by Jan it would be too late (qualifiers start Feb 16). He could also just stay in EG but there hasn't been any news on the org's replacement yet and there's just a few rumors on it being FLY, Riot has also never addressed the situation either.

yeah im aware, thats why i dont have their flair anymore, but you do realize their dissolve doesnt ruin their 2023 run right

but they’re the best lol, how’s that a self burn

It honestly depends on how drastic the next meta shift is gonna be which we really can't speculate rn. We've never seen SEN prove to be consistent good at all as well on top of that, and just this year we were already given an example on how SEN (+zellsis +johnqt -pancada -dephh) approached a new meta which ended up being constant comp changes for maps even after wins as they scramble to find their place in the meta, until they went on to finally find actual stabilization in LCQ. In comparison to EG who've really shown no promise following the Americas League after just being done in by Talon Esports in LOCK//IN, the team had a great read on the meta early on and went on to better refine themselves and their stable comps somewhat just after Week 3 even through some strong losses.

I'm not saying off-season results dont matter of course, but I feel like we're overall undermining the effects a meta read can have on teams. What SEN has shown so far have been super promising, but we have to take into consideration that a lot of these ideas they have for the current meta have been in practice for a very long time now and brings no guarantee on how they can adapt to something new quickly enough during an ongoing tournament.

What I'm talking about more is their gameplay overall to adapt to the current meta. Current aspects like site executes, teamplay, etc are either going to be heavily modified or scrapped entirely when a meta shift occurs. 100T didn't avoid the double controller stable because they weren't flexible enough, that comp was their go to for Icebox and Ascent ever since Lock In. They even ran it on Bind and Pearl during the Redbull Invite and have seen success with it.

The reason why they avoided it on other maps until it was too late was because of their belief that whatever they had then was already good enough and didn't need to see any risky changes. We have no room to believe in that SEN wouldn't be going in the same approach 100T did when another meta shift occurs at all.

"the new roster is better equipped for meta changes which the 2023 100T was not"

you can't really claim this though rn, this roster was formed with the introduction of the current meta + some of their previous strats like their Bind comp have already existed. I feel like we're currently heading towards another drastic meta shift and the Gekko buff is just the start. If this happens then there's no guarantee whatsoever that SEN can switch up themselves to better suit the meta more than 100T ever did.

im a certified EG dickrider tho, and SEN have been looking a bit TOO good

why tf does that shitty ass org always gotta ruin it man. What I would pay to see these two teams go h2h

its the truth, imagine winning the biggest tourney the game can offer and then immediately after go through the shittiest year. If SEN keep him chained up then theyre actually garbage.

?

he hasn't mentioned the afreeca tourney in his twiter at all + wasn't there for the trophy lift, this guy fucking hates SEN and you cant blame him

but he hasn't received a lot of backlash though from the TenZ one, like barely at all really.

no dude what lmfao, im sayng if he made only one vid for Asuna then I would want to see someone else who's been performing badly be made for as well like TenZ for example

1. yes I would, that's the point, and not "instead" but rather "also"
2. yes, he's outing TenZ in the context that he's never made a critique video like this for any Val player before and never continued doing so after his 1st and only one.

you're boiling it down to "he made the video for views" and that vid is just him criticizing Tenz's gameplay for like an hour straight pointing out stuff that's again surface level (which is most likely on purpose for the sake of the audience). My guy doesn't just get a pass to do something like this because its TenZ when again there are other players in Tier 1 who are also popular that've been performing way worse this year (Asuna is one).

He's outing TenZ purely because of his following and nothing more and that's both petty and lowkey disrespectful no matter how you put it. It was a great vid at the time for sure, but knowing that he never did something like that again for other players is just weird. Just because its for content purposes doesn't mean it gets a pass.

you know what youre saying doesnt make it look any better right

no i dont think you can just assume he planned on doing it with other people considering he's never done smth like that before or after the TenZ vid. Plus there's a shit ton of Tier 1 pros out there that are also well known who've performed pretty badly this year, even worse then TenZ lol.

Sideshow actually discovered Tenz starving in a indigenous hut 20 years ago who was pre-seemingly abandoned by his clan on the outskirts of Nunavut during an exhibition trip across Canada led by Drake, where they would then go on to discover the land that we know as Toronto as TenZ was nursed and cared for throughout their journey.

because not only was that advice surface level, but the fact that he made a player analysis on specifically their weaknesses for only TenZ is kinda weird

its simply undefendable ngl

:)

oh ok that makes more sense

PRX?

its simply sensational

what the actual fuck

but zellsis hasnt won literally anything before this tourney

if they lost the final it still wouldnt change anything, they just made it official, Americas > every other region combined

no wonder EMEA is so bad when they have someone like Jamppi babysitting frauds (nats)

NA's content team went undefeated against APAC's top two, and we even got a 3-0 shitstomp vs PRX. VCT is now officially the Americas League + some randoms, every masters and champs are just extra Americas splits from here on out. Goodbye frauds 👋👋👋

wallahi i do not understand why on earth PRX let Sunset thru but we take those

Yagao clears

you know they still won champs with fracture being let through once right? and im definitely sure they can catch up in scrims IF their roster gets confirmed with the og 5 because masters qualifiers starts in Feb, you're discrediting the game's current champs bro be fr, im just as happy as you are rn but you're being illogical

fuck them tho

if youre assuming EG keeps all 5 then in what universe do you think the champ winners arent 1st

but some ppl think that the aliens are humans

what the flip

wtf did you just make me download bro

atlanta's deadliest internet forum

we dont play around with VLR beef

if this team becomes 2023 100T so help me god, once in a lifetime type of fall off to witness

i dont watch co streams tho, im just in shock rn

kinda snuck them in there ngl but with Boostio i could see a future
