TLDR WARNING!!!!!!!!!!

lev shyy has started playing duelist recently and has been dropping 30 bombs on radiant ranked like its nothing, also he was rank #1 on NA while doing so, imo he is good enough mechanically to replace taco on that role, but swapping taco to sentinel doesnt make much sense to me so im making a latam tier 2 stacked sentinels list who could fill shyy´s shoes on sentinel role:

LATAM NORTH:

6k feniz - costa rica (former daveeys teammate, he was known as the best latam north sentinel and player last year, this year he still showed some insane performance but his team fell short being 1 bo5 away from the ascension tourney against fusion, he was known as the best player of his team even when daveeys played with him and was contract jailed away from kru which makes me mald till this day, it was an insane buyout ngl)

fsn theory - colombia (he is the sentinel of fusion and has that clutch gene on him, 18 yo promise, his spray control is awesome and his gamesense and how much he comms is pretty good for any team he could be part into)

fsn mited - colombia (this guy is not only a good IGL, but also a fragger in game that has mained all 3 roles but duelist, he could solve the igl issue and help out mazino on omen and brim which are the best agents from mited btw, so mazino could just care about his best controller agents which are astra and harbor and flex on other maps to agents where he is more comfortable into)

skc prask - venezuela (IGL from skull cracker, the top 3 of latam north which clutched a insane amount of rounds while also giving insane set-ups and info calls to his team, this guy could tap 5 if they understimate him and try to push him since he is also a insane strongholder on cypher and kj, which is the reason why he has outsmarted both fusion and 6k several times, his only noticeable flaw is that he is kinda old ngl)

reta baez- colombia (young 21 underrated player who has an insane aim and works hard af whenever his coach has told him to swap to any role, imo he is insane and could stand a chance imo).

LATAM SOUTH:

mox ganter - chile (18 yo promise, this is the first year he played on this team and got top 4 twice on his league, imo he is an insane flex who plays both initiator and sentinel and has one of the best rifles from LAS rn)

inf suther - chile (former keznit´s teammate, he is an IGL and currently plays flex but his kj isnt far from insane, he was recognized as an insane fragger on any team he has been part of including that time when he was with keznit, so you guys might know what he is up to only with that info)

inf vaiz - chile (19 yo former lev sentinel, he got swapped to 6th for shyy last year by onur after chamber meta became a thing cuz of taco being better than him as chamber and because of shyy being better on initiator, we know onur´s roster decisions arent based on individual performance after he left keznit on bench this year, so dont let this distract you from the fact vaiz was cracked and that he now improved his agent pool and has became a beast who even was rated #1 on LAS vcl during a time and 1st on his team)

ak tinchoff - argentina (main sentinel who plays on adverso´s current team, he is a cracked setup player who mains all the sentinels with ease, he is pretty impactful on all rounds and whenever i see his team´s games he makes a lot of right decisions and insane kills)

9z mizu - argentina (one of the most underrated latam players, he has always done right for his team and has brought them to good places because he always performs good, his agent pool is also pretty good and his op is probably the best i´ve seen on latam so he could also be as good on chamber as taco)

9z deigara - argentina (IGL of 9z, has been the best player of 9z during the ascension and has a wide agent pool and some insane mechanical skill, his util and support to his teammates is always on point and he is also a clutch player)

i actually like to debate ideas, not only insult outta nowhere, stating points creates new ideas and points of view who actually make people improve

yeah dephh could´ve killed 1 more, sacy too, pancada too, tenz too, zekken too, you blame the only guy on the team who isnt meant to get kills because he didnt got one more while you have 4 world champs next to him, dephh played awfully and needed to improve his mid rounding and also his team´s, he needed to be a leader when his team felt anxious and useless, but saying he had to kill more its delusional, look at fns´s kd when they won the masters.

we can blame dephh´s performance individually but we cant blame the role issue and how the team seemed to have no sinergy, ofc the voicecomms video shows the team communicating fine they wont show the bad shit, also their scrimbux shows that they were able to win matches so imo its just a performance on stage issue from the start, i also laughed at dephh but now after i matured because of kru´s redemption i realized there is more than "this guy killed less than this other thus the L was his fault"

blaming it on the guy who tried to make the team work instead of the guy who thought making a team out of players who speak 2 languages who would have a lot of discommunication was going to work with the magic of money.

mindfreak is the best smoker itw when he is feeling it, i´ve seen him outclass top notch controllers on some matches, if he was as good on all matches he´ll surely be compared to s0m or mako rn. but because of his underperformances im pretty bipolar about him

i´ve hardly seen any of both get picked on all the lists that have been made, its even hard to see jingg getting on a duelist only list on a position above 7th.

i remember how i only watched his stats last year and thought he wasnt good enough for paper rex, then i actually put attention to what he does and let me say being a initiator for both f0rsaken(now something) and jinggg its harder than what people give credit for, and now he doesnt only have better stats fragging-wise but he also improved his game sense and util a lot.

bro i swear asides from demon1 and something any player on those teams is just as important if not as good as them yet they rarely get on a top 10 players itw list, why tf people cant recognize f0rsaken, d4v4i, jingg, boostio, ethan or jawgemo? imo they are all beasts so far from what i´ve seen in their careers.

if the rumours are true kru wins, kru on their worst moment of the year got almost 2 maps off them while loud was on their best moment of this year.

he is definitely one of the rated players of all time

i forgive you dont worry :D

yeah, english subbed below

english subbed btw, these are the coach and team talks which made kru go from 0-9 to 5-0 and qualifying to champions :D

no way they prac a team on their same group

idk but hope they get a good team clear impressed me on 2022 and sadly couldnt have a good team this 2023

jamal

only thing i remember is that u dont bait so 8/10

personally the best users are netero delusional potter fan and obelisk

moonknight

shownu when he used to post, elon_musk and i cant remember who else oohhhhhhh atastycookie too

t2 needs to be alive otherwise we´ll never get rid of derrek and watch future players like verno or get rid of starxo and look at new mfers like fizzyXD or get rid of crow and see new mfers like hiroronn

nozwer initiator mwzera sentinel

ofc he is he placed ze1sh despite of how he played on regular phase

just to keep it real, he would´ve been top 3 because his performance on lock//in and the league was awesome but i cant place him cuz all the edgy baiters going to make stupid replies tbh.

shyy dissapears sometimes, i´ve watched all his games and he fine in there imo, he has an inmense room for growth next year anyways

i have to admit his team is worst than all the teams of the players on this list but he still has it ngl, maybe i could´ve placed him lower but idk

only vct players (no ascension winners)

1 - kingg
2 - invy
3 - monyet
4- zekken
5 - trexx
6 - cryo
7 - scream
8 - xffero
9 - shyy
10 - garnetS

nt, ive been a kru fan since 2021 because kun aguero but hey the aussie paper rex flair calling me bandwagoner makes a lot of sense LOL, hopefully i dont see you with a bonkers flair next week or next year

die for you put the bar too high so this song doesnt seem as fire in comparison but imo without comparisons its a very good song.

how is fut a force? they barely beated ase which isnt even china top 4 rn

yeah, a 3rd place doesnt mean people bandwagoned ngl, a lot of zeta fans kept supporting since then even on their lowest moments

tf? zeta has won nothing i cant see them as bandwagoners

i hope tenz gets a proper igl and teams without role issues one day tbh.

keznit
daveeys
melser
klaus
nagz
something
less
s0m
sayf
jinggg

bro you are robbing boostio so much, he carried entire maps on kj operator, also cryo is getting robbed af.

bro ban is so fucked, half of the tier 2 kr teams have a controller as their best player 💀

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 bro NA or kr tier 2 might get him as a duelist but hes just not it on controller, but hey klaus and c0m made a comeback who knows maybe he finally gets his shit together for this instance and t1 make a insane run

hopefully next year t1 gets exy or persia on controlller

happy birthday man

how is he a 1 tourney wonder all his appearances internationally finished in him smurfing a tier 1 team, he also smurfed east asia on a lcq at 2022

damn our future isnt bright :(

i always laugh hard at the fact most hltv users just 30 yos who live with their parents and they still express their ideas like 15 yo twitch chatters

yeah, this was the only way to get 1 team of each region so ofc it is delusional ngl, but i dont think they cant upset t1 or fut tbh.

paper rex - APAC
kru - LATAM

eg - NA
fpx - CN

fnc - EMEA
zeta - JPN

Loud - BR
DRX - KR

this way we get max viewership on playoffs because there is a team from every region.

lost 0-2 to china 0-3 to gia and 3-4 in maps against koi 1-2 on matches

he might´ve been top 5 NA and top 15 or 10 itw but saying top 1 is a bit too delusional ngl, the rest of the tweet are just facts tho.

tbf, he got replaced by demon1, c0m was already initiator before him

its pretty ironic how kru got fitter on NA tbh.

bro, thats literally what every americas user says and you bring up shit from 2 years ago
