ShahZam Appreciation Thread

Can we all appreciate just how good of a player and IGL ShahZam actually is if we forget his cs days. For a pretty long time ShahZam was playing IGL and coach all at the same time and still fragging well and getting high impact in his games. SEN too was looking very good, they did dominate their region for a pretty long time. After their poor run in Berlin, Shahz learned to adapt to the meta and learned many different agents like skye and breach (all in the space of like 2 months). Even at champions, it clearly looked like shahzam was the best player on the team while the rest of his team was kind of underperforming.

Now about the IBP situation, stop acting like IBP situation is the only reason you hate ShahZam. Its really funny how you guys hate Shahzam way more than steel when steel was the one that matchfixed lmfao. Dont act like you guys hate steel now, you guys still say "bring back steel 100t" and claim that its the worst transfer ever made in esports. If you hate him because he got away, its not his fault that he got away. What is he supposed to do? Hand himself in?

  1. His CS days are still apart of his history as a person and a player, that's a shitty argument.
  2. Sure he can be good, but he's also emotionally driven and it won't be consistent as you saw during masters and champions
  3. Never liked steel he made 100T toxic and kinda cringe when I like the rest of the roster. Glad they dropped him kinda wish Nitr0 stayed
  4. Yes he should've reported steel for matchfixing instead of finding out about it and then profiting on it. He's a slimy rat who still committed fraud whether there's actual evidence or not.

Full perspective, he seems fun and cool, and he's a pretty good player obviously. But he's sketchy and not someone I can really be a fan of.

That's your opinion, but you have to remember opinions are subjective and you can't change that.
Also the hate comes from somewhere, and there's more than you can just consider envious, and with more reason to it as well.

If you want to call holding people accountable “hate” sure go ahead. I never said i hated him nor did i say i support him. I stayed as unbiased as possible explaining all the reasons people dont like him and why i dont support him. No where did i “hate” on him. Also when you put yourself in the public eye. You are aware that people are going to give you feedback whether you like it or not

never said you hated on him; i said you shouldn't be justifying hate by calling it opinion or saying it comes from somewhere:
"Doesnt deserve the hate vlr.gg gives him lol" -> "Opinions are subjective and you can't change that", "also the hate comes from somewhere"

i understand your perspective in the original post and share most of it tbh but dont understand the hate part; just because it happens doesnt mean it should? should he or anyone really be receiving death threats constant vitriol etc over twitter/vlr/etc just over a game lol.
we as viewers are not meant to hold him accountable for what we perceive to have happened, theres a whole ass (bad) system for that but none of us know the whole story for almost all situations with any player and its bullshit for anyone to think they do and then use what they think to send hate

"He's a slimy rat who still committed fraud whether there's actual evidence or not." - isn't really objective/unbiased either lol its your opinion

That form of fraud you can't have evidence on... wtf you understand that right?

You're fighting a downhill battle on what you think my argument is and it's ridiculous. You're misinformed on what the actual situation is and you're creating an argument around it. Please educate yourself on what happened so you know what I am talking about.

you literally ignored and passed over everything i said except about the fraud/matchfixing?
as i said my point was that hate isnt okay lol please stop picking out one word out of context and addressing nothing else all i commented on that was youre not being objective/unbiased as you say you are along with the fact that hate isnt acceptable for ANY players, not just shahz

Firstly, "hate" is a strong word and it's pretty unrealistic for anybody to hate someone over the internet. If we are talking about "disliking" him, I can do that in front of him, talk all the trash in the world. As if I'm scared of speaking the truth to some 27yo nerd boomer.

i wasn't the one to introduce the word hate and its pretty realistic to seeing that many players receive death threats and constant abuse over the internet? which is, idk, possibly a shitty thing to do? all i said was hate is a shitty thing to do especially online and anonymously, its cowardly. thats all there is to it

I like Shahzam (as a personality and as a pro), I'm just concerned about the amount he streams. But it's not like me whining about it is going to change anything, he can do what he wants, he's an adult. Whatever happens, will happen and that's just how it'll be. Maybe I'm wrong and Sentinels will win Champs this year, or maybe they'll never regain their former glory and will only fall further/stagnate, either way, there's no point in letting it ruin my own mood about the matter. I'm not going to go out of my way to hate on Sen (that's toxic and wastes my own time and energy, it literally has no effect on anyone but myself lmfao), if I disagree with them and no longer find myself supporting them I'll just find a different team to support. That's how life is, change happens, life happens, it's not the end of the world. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, ima just do my thing and do it the best I can.

(I never watched CSGO, I'm new to esports)

also this quickly devolved from an appreciation thread to a rant threat lol.

Dont think his streaming is affecting his personal performance but i think he should spend more time playing with his whole team scrimming or whatever

I find it hard to believe that the entire team is not scrimming because Shahz wants to stream more, even earlier in the year they were scrimming and he was still streaming 8+ hours a day and people admired him for grinding both that hard. Feel like them not practicing rn has got to be a collective decision but it's for sure worrying looking towards their 2022 season.

Yeah, I think if they don't make it to the lan thing first masters they should atleast add an extra hour or two onto going over vods, scrimming and that other jazz. Although people shouldn't be on their ass about it

i think a big reason that people dislike dapr/zombs/kind of shahzam is because of their egos. tenz fans and sen fans in general (not all of them, but most of them) are pretty annoying, but tenz himself isn't a bad guy at all.

You're missing the point.
Of course Steel and ShahZam both were wrong.
But one of them admitted it, apologized and served the punishment, while one of them didn't.
Hence the hatred.

Sure but what he did was a lot worse than what shahz did. Shahz prolly made a few hundred bucks out of it and then cooperated with the investigation. Sure he made a few hundreds out of it but was it actually that big of a deal. From what I read he did initially bet on iBP but then found it was going to be thrown and then changed his bet. I mean obviously he wouldnt bet on iBP to win a thrown game

Look man I hate ShahZam and nothing u say can change that. I think what he did was equally bad

Do you have a link for this? From all the reports I've read they've never mentioned this. Says the person who Shahz was having a conversation with leaked the conversation to journalists.

you’re so angry about something you don’t even understand, it’s obvious you didn’t even play the game back then

You can’t take a bet back on csgolounge, only switch your pick. Anyone would not want to lose their skins and switch if they found out a team was throwing, you’re lying if you say otherwise. I already had a bet and switched it right before the match after I found out

Also didn’t snitch, it’s different when the lawyers of a billion dollar company approach you 5 months after the match in question.

Shahz can stream 12 hours a day if they get a coach
No one doubts sentinels ingame stuff
Sentinels look lost in their comps (no raze on split etc)
They have less strats compared to other teams which is the IGL and coaches duty since rawkass is only for personal improvement of players. They have 2 strats sick go kill and dapr do miracles on split which is why Shahz gets hate

#75

I mean Sentinels in game stuff relies purely on them out-aiming their opponents. If you watch their game, they use their utility specifically to set up gun fight because they all believe that they can win their aim duels.

However, with teams now playing more structured and getting more used to the game, other teams are able to use utility much better than Sentinels and avoid the 1 v 1 gun fights against TenZ or Shahz.

Either way, they will most likely run through open quals pretty easily due to the talent gap but it will be interesting to see how they stack up to up and coming teams like KCP, Akrew who will have better strats but not have the talent

NA lcq organisers should be slapped if akrew is seeded with any of c9 sen envy rise
That would be shambolic seeding
It’ll be interesting they shouldn’t qualify for masters for once so they can get a coach and shahz can rest
