sentinels streamer team?

no. people are treating this like it's the gospel truth or just factual, and this is the dumbest shit ever.

there's practice time, and there's free time. just because a player is streaming does not mean he's cutting into practice time, if anything, he's most likely using his free time. do you really think a player would tell their IGL, "hey bud, imma skip out on this scrim because i want to stream and make money"? amount of time streaming does NOT give you any information at all about their practice time (unless they're streaming like 10+ hours every day or some shit, but who does that? even with this forum going crazy about shahzam streams, i've made sure to get my info straight and scroll through his twitch vods. looks like he's been streaming ~7 hours a day or something for the past couple months).

"they don't practice", "they don't even care about pro play anymore", "no competitive drive"... yeah i see y'all out there. pumping out these narratives with no shred of evidence. and if you do have evidence, it's probably an out-of-context clip or a quote from someone trolling that you're taking seriously. this isn't even sentinels-centric, it's pervasive in this community.

tl;dr i'll say this until the end of time: stop making assumptions about shit you have no idea about, and will most likely never know about.

.

ps: maybe they actually don't practice, and they actually don't care about pro play, and they actually don't have a competitive drive anymore. but you know what? i don't go around spouting my guesses like i've got the inside scoop and it's 100% factual and everyone who disagrees is just a delusional sentinels fan. i'm all for having your opinions and if you think that they don't practice and don't care, that's fine. just stop spamming it in the forums like it's breaking news or something.

a couple of other dumbass takes:

tsm streamer team
same shit different team i guess. glad to see it kinda faded away now that tsm have actually qualified, but it'll probably pop up again if tsm fail to get out of their group. remember when they got into the main event qualifier for masters berlin and dropped out in 7th-8th place? more of the same.
"sentinels never wanted a coach, and now they complain about not being able to get one? cry more"
actually just straight up false. i'm all for shitting on sentinels for not being able to find a coach for forever, but sentinels have spoken out about actively looking for a coach from the beginning of 2021. they were even looking to get sean gares as a coach during the ignition series, if y'all even remember that from 2020. back then though, sean gares was looking more towards content creation and casting.

There was a point in time where Shahzam said that they didn't need a coach(?) I think. Or rather, they didn't need all the staff prep and management that 100t had because it gave him more freedom to conduct the team's practice and shit. I recall this from an interview last year.

So if people are accusing them of lacking a coach, they might be referring to that.

see this is absolutely fine. i am a-ok with the opinion that they can't keep up with the changing meta, or their playstyle is stale and not suited for current valorant, or even that they're washed and can't hit shots anymore. but i'm not ok with people somehow dragging streaming into all of this to somehow validate that a player does not care.

Igl streams a lot. If they prac optimally and efficiently there is no fucking way they lost 9 rounds in a row in CT Side Bind. A perfect mid round calls and the anti-strat that was their strongest point last year are nowhere to be seen recently.

can't you just say "shahzam prob sucks at structuring their scrims/practice, maybe they need to prac better"?

i fail to see how the IGL streaming has anything to do with it, and you've given me no logic to work off of.

Yes that's not the main problem but that's kinda the part of problem too. The main problem is they don't prac or vod reviewing efficiently and optimally. 5 hours prac but efficiently > 10 hours prac but not efficiently, and Sentinels prac is very not efficient. That's why they still figuring out their basic problems (agent comp) since last VCT, and they are not yet make any strats because their first problems not finished yet for 2 months.

did i ever say that i think they're gonna win anything? if anything, i think they'll prob just remain in the top 8 somewhere in NA. if they announce a coach, maybe i'll get some hope that they can regain form, but i doubt anyone in the world thinks sen is gonna win a regional event, let alone an internation LAN, anytime soon. straw man fallacy.

dude, seriously. have you not seen the bajillion shahzam threads for the past couple days? literally everyone and their mom cares. if anything, i don't give a shit about sentinels, but i care that so many people seem so FUCKING BRAINDEAD.

The fact they dont have a coach plays a big part too in why shazam gets targeted, because as their igl hes likely got alot of the coaching duty as well due to the lack of an actual coach. Yeah they have a "manager" but how much is he doing?

if they want to stream more than actually scrimming, then they should just retire and spent all the day streaming

Sentinels is an American content creation organization based in Los Angeles, California. The organization was founded by valorant streamer Tyson "TenZ" Ngo and his friends in 2020 and in early 2022 Jared "zombs" Gitlin was removed from TenZ's friend list due to low viewer counts.
