this might be a reach but they might not make any roster changes, tenz is reacting to drama (in a sarcastic way) which he never does, he usually just gets sad and doesnt stream for a while (like he did in offseason of 2022 and when he got benched) and also judging from the new podcast ep the entire team seems to want to stay together or this could all be a ruse and tenz is staying as a cc which is possible too

theres literally 2 or 3 good IGLs in NA like FNS, Valyn, Boostio and maybe johnqt (but his style of calling depends on the team environment) and shahz can be tier 1 if a proper coach helps him call better and make better ingame decisions even if the game wasnt as advanced back when they won iceland, he still single handedly beat the fnc core who are dominating rn (mini boaster and derke) he still has it in him and if he gets a chance im sure he can prove it

he definitely is good enough for tier 1 and has the potential to be one of the best, the way he played the game in 2022 and 2023 is very different he is way less confident and rarely going for hero plays, could be because of his irl problems but we will never know but tenz is definitely tier 1 material even fns agrees that he can get a spot if he wants to play next year

Ik it is sad and if he continues to play on a mid franchising team he will continue to have his potential locked within himself, the only way I see him getting less hate and improving his mental is if he goes to T2 and grinds, his team doesnt have to like win the entire ascension tourney he just has to prove that he is still one of the best Americas has to offer

thats not very fair, the old team DID try but they could only do so much with all the problems surrounding the team

everyone shat on shahz for saying this back in 2021/2022 but it seems he was right, theres no point in praccing all day long if you aren't doing it right, look at kru they took a break when every team was scrimming and had a mental reset and everything worked for them and they used their prac times correctly instead of overdoing it

if thats the case then marved pancada and sacy are horrible because their stats were worse than tenz and the impact they had was slim to none (other than pancada maybe, talkimg about lcq btw)

if he still wants to compete then the best option he has is to go to T2 and prove himself yet again (unless he gets another franchising offer which is unlikely) if M80 lose koalanoob then TenZ would be a good replacement and G2/TSM rebuild could also look at TenZ as an option, the only franchising team that i could see TenZ get into is 100T but even then it is very unlikely

he was doing pretty well other than on games where he had to face kangkang but yeah he seems to be a bit overhyped

isnt that the fns mastaclass comeback map?

drx doing bad will be the saddest thing ever

do not disrespect leafington the goat

oh goddddd loud vs drx is going to be unironically jail valorant at its finest

leaf agent pool clears aspas agent pool tho

my opinion has changed quite a bit, boaster's mid rounding seems very good currently even if we dont account for him having 4 other top tier players but putting that aside, fnc and boaster just have very strict gameplans and they have a very certain way on how the round should go and this helps boaster not have to make too many calls coz the rounds dont get scrappy meanwhile a lit of what nrg does fails and fns has to constantly make adjustments and changes BUT boaster has definitely stepped up his game, his mid rounding and info retaining and the ability to just read a set strat or trap play that their opponent has going on is immaculate but i still think fns is just miles ahead of everyone interms of pure game knowledge and the ability to adapt on the fly and not waver even during highpressure situations (which boaster struggles with imo but thats why mini is there to help him)

nah bro pancada can do interviews and shit in english, during aspas interviews he always has translators

NRG Leaf might be the only hope in beating fnatic

lmfaoo if u want to find the clips then go ahead and search ur so braindead if u think a top 5 team in the world is bad LOL loud got shit on by them bro lmfaooooooooo

oh damn but why are people saying aspas will join sen, he does not speak or understand proper english right?

huh context?

it was just a heat of the moment thing most probably? he just got mad at the people hating on her even after she apologized, hop off his dick and live ur life bro

lmfaoooo and you would know how? you talk with saadhak in ur dream everyday bud?, fns and boaster said on stream that they had a lot of potential and could easily beat most team in all the other regions so pipe down LOL

he actually thought teams just went in blind against a top tier opponent lmfaoo

idt its a mental problem, they just seemed to not have an idea as to how the game was going and clearly had no idea of their win conditions, it seemed like an off day but even then it was so bad

every team tried during the season and kru got unlucky a lot of the times

another day another miserable vlr user

unlike 2022 lcq, it wasnt a matter of rounds, we legit just got wiped from the face of earth by leviatan

they STOMPED C9, the game was way more one sided than it looked like, kru can for sure make a run at champs

good way to cope with yet another disappointing year from SEN! (jokes aside, yes please)

I am seeing people underestimate this team way too much, yeah sure they are a latam team and the region as a whole hasnt had consistent placements but like they just aced their ways through americas lcq and americas is definitely the most competitive region out of the three and from what I saw kru had really good gameplans and individual performances which is what pushed eg to make their run at tokyo

its not just head to head matchups, the way they played the game was do much more advanced and the individuals stepping up and even the map pools, i never said anything about head to head matchups, eg looked way better than nrg and loud especially loud (and even nrg who edged their way into top 4)

kru underrated, nrg and loud above eg is a crime and navi lost to giants not even a week ago

he was playing a lot of duelists tho right? isnt he a support/scan initiator?

atp emea kids are getting more annoying than na ones

i think tenz works well when theres a more matured IGL and strats that depend on him killing everyone which was what we saw a lot of in 2021 and 2022 and he individually did really well, its basically like putting jinggg or zmjjkk on DRX or NRG

5k per month is the league minimum i think

this event yeah 100% but overall i still think tenz is a better jett player

I still think tenz has the better jett out of him and zekken especially on maps like haven, ascent and all that

his performances have improved but his jett is nowhere as good as it used to be, you can tell in high pressure situations everything just blows up in his mind and he starts whiffing and even then he was in the top 10 most rated players in this lcq

lmfao they barely had any time to prac for lcq coz of tokyo and u guys really thinking that they saved strats?

Boostio wasnt seen as a top tier IGL before 2023 and stax has always been an inconsistently/mid IGL, your point is invalid. I'm not telling that sen should stick with marved as an IGL I want them to get johnqt (who has worked with kaplan before) if they can and also tenz is flexible enough and like i said hes young not some old washed player who cant learn new agents

yeah he doesnt want to compete but at the same time he was talking about how he couldnt focus on the game like how he used to so maybe he just needs rest? idk cant assume anything here, hopefully he comes back stronger one day tho

not at all, look at all the teams that are doing good in regular season and even now in lcq, EG is a great example and teams like NRG, NAVI, FNC, PRX, DRX, LOUD all of these top teams (and teams who are winning LCQ rn like Zeta, TS, NAVI and KRU/LEV) had a core last year and kept going with it and trusting the process unless theres like a massive disagreement between players and coaches on how the game should be played or ego clashes within the team then theres no reason that teams should completely rebuild after a mediocre season especially sen coz they barely got any time to build chemistry coz management fucked them over every other week

before 2024 season starts, that core would almost be together for 7 or 8 months and would have way better chemistry and would know each other way better

yes but im talking mostly about a temporary retirement so like maybe he could spend more time with kyedae and when she hopefully gets better he can come back in with a complete mind reset

they have tarik for the general audience who supports sentinels as a team but the majority of the sen fanbase are just tenz fans and if tenz leaves so do most of them, take a look at their youtube videos with tenz and without tenz and also the games where tenz doesnt play and he does play/watchparty, sentinels IS just tenz pretty much and its not like tenz is washed he is still a young prospect but unlucky for him there were issues in his personal life that he couldnt control and he mentioned it in many of his streams how he just cant focus on his games anymore (which im guessing is coz of the situation with kyedae), feel bad for that guy coz he isnt like a fake influencer or a huge egoistical person, he is probably the most humble person in the val community

dropping tenz would mean that a major portion of sen fanbase would leave AND a lot of their revenue is made from tenz, ofc theres the offchance that he retires but stays as a cc but even then their esports fanbase would take a huge hit but if they do want to go that route then getting nismo would be the best option

bro got me malding over a vlr post, what has my life become

I remember him going crazy against TL in lockin and against a few other teams but his performance was overshadowed by Jessievash

are you fucked in the head or something? did u get hit in the head as a baby? wtf is actually wrong with you? YOU CANT JUST GO AROUND SAYING "OMG THIS PLAYER I WORKED WITH NAMED SCREAM IS ABSOLUTELY DOGSHIT EVERY TEAM SHOULD BLACKLIST THIS GUY" IF U DO THAT, THE PERSON WHO DID IT WOULD GET ABSOLUTELY COOKED AND HIS CAREER IS BASICALLY OVER, THIS is the reason nobody calls him out FULLY but they throw shades at him from time to time BECAUSE THATS ALL THEY CAN DO AND ALSO BRO THERE ARE LITERAL CLIPS OUT THERE OF SLIGGY SAYING SCREAMS IGLING AND HIS INFLUENCE IN THE TEAM WAS WAY TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE SO PLEASE JUST GO OUT THERE AND SEE IT FOR URSELF INSTEAD OF BEING A LAZY CUNT
