Without bias or if he didn't have clout, do you think he would still be in a tier 1 roster or have the skill to be in tier 1?

if you look objectively at his skills not clout.. yes

hes pretty much either top of the leaderboard or middle of the pack in his own team of multiple world champs.

and he’s proven to be pretty flexible nowadays.

yes he’s either first on the leaderboard or second after zekken and people still doubt his skills.

i don’t get it.

yes he is still a top 3 player in the world in terms of raw mechanics. He still has lots of potential and he didn't even have a bad year last season.

chronicle and boostio do not have better mechanics than tenz. they're very good mechanically but let's be serious here

I don't love tenz but u are smoking something bro boostio and chronicle would not 1v1, we're talking raw aim and tenz is still amazingly gifted, much better than those two. Arguably he is still top 5 itw with raw mechanics

Without the clout he'd swap roles to initiator/aggressive smokes sooner. So at this point yes.

He wasn't kept on main duelist bc he had clout but I just don't think they thought about him playing initiator as an option. He was constantly the Jett player and had 0 experience playing other roles. I'm happy they finally gave it a try tho.

even without the clout i could see him dropping into tier 2 and getting immediately picked back up after a year, imagine bro on his underdog arc in M80 or Guard

if he played more viper he could be a really good flex player but he still needs to prove himself in the regular season

if he played in a system he'd be at the top regardless .Bro just has that raw skill

Yes. On the contrary, if he didn't have fame, he would be considered one of the most underrated players.

probably not, all these guys saying yes are fans so the org keeps him there to keep these kids happy. there are alot of players at the same skill level, not to mention there are alot more who contribute more to a team.

if SEN fails this year, which they very well might, the org and fans could hopefully accept him as a content creator and move on

fns and som said they wouldve dropped tenz if he was the problem, if they said it then im sure they have more idea about what they are talking about than you. They're spending money for this team and if they thought tenz wasnt good enough to be in tier 1 then he wouldnt be

no, thats a dumbass take. if they remove him little kids like you would stop buying shirts and their revenue will drop significantly

no professional player would say otherwise lol.. use your brain for once instead of depending on others to think for you. They all would love to build their own image and reputation to the point where orgs are dying to sign them up either as players or CC. s0m is in a similar situation ngl.. you dont think he mentions the fact that he averages 7-10k viewers per stream and what that means to merch sales for the org in his sales pitch? lol

its really not that deep, they could keep him as a cc and still profit from merch and all that shit, use ur brain for once instead of being the dumbest person alive. If he was bad he would be cut by now

they're basically giving him his last chance, if he can't perform as a flex this season either he stays and sentinels rebuild the team around him again (confirms that he's only there because of clout) or he gets benched and the team look for a better player

#33

That's very delusional of you. They're not dumb they wouldn't have kept him in the roster if he was bad. Just like they benched him last year when he was going through a rough patch and needed time off they wouldn't risk their whole season, especially when there are 4 other player's careers at stake. TenZ could've been 6th or signed as a CC but the coaches made the conscious decision to keep him.

you just further my point.. you are part of the sheep. they are not dumb enough to lose a guy who they have invested in to bring in merch money $$$. do you know how much companies pay for sponsored streams? not every decision in esports is based on winning a title.. keeping tenz on the roster is a financial decision and keeping kids like you to think otherwise is part of the plan
