i swear the 12 year old SEN fans have the worst takes on this website.. there is more than just frags which are taken into account while making a team.. Crashies and Victor on Optic have cleared XSET (where Zekken had his best results) and The Guard at the international stage. They simply wouldnt fit the team culture + have you seen how vocal crashies and victor are? crashies is literally the second caller in the team and adds much more value than you see on the scoreboard
Come on bro.. they were the worst player on the best team while zekken and Trent were best or second best in their team. Let's not act like Valorant is not a team game...
Crashies util is still very good, and there's an argument to be made that they are still better as a duo, but you def are underestimating zekken and Trent ngl
Braindead. Sentinels added Sacy, Pancada and Marved for firepower and how did that work for them? literally 0 achievement and it is because of OP's braindead takes which is 100% of Sentinel fanbase. Team culture and chemistry clears any kind of firepower argument.. picking the best players and putting them on a team wont get you results
Fnatic kept their core of Boaster, Derke and Alfa.. EG kept their core and so did PRX. These teams are literally examples of how having a strong team culture, chemistry and core is more important than picking the best and slotting them in. Removing crashies and vic for zekken and trent will mean they will have 5 different players from 5 different cores..
Indian Fnatic fans are the definition of braindead
Victor and crashies LAN experience is all you need to keep these guys they have been through everything (highs and lows). Trent and zekken are amazing players prolly better than them individually but how good will they perform on the big stage nobody knows. Let these guys play on big stage as they are still very young then we can talk about this
I’m not sure Zekken is that consistent either, or at least he wasn’t in the past. Flex players by nature are inconsistent. FNS also mentioned that victor helps with attack side midrounding. I think Zekken is equal to victor and has more potential but Victor should not be the first/ only one dropped on NRG.
Very good points BUT Zekken has been incredibly consistent throughout lcq and Americas, he’s obv improved a lot since last year plus I feel like eventhough vic is very good zekken has better aim then him and similar gamesense(vics is prolly slightly better but zekkens will improve with time) and zekken is also a massive caller
What nrg need rn Is firepower and zekken is an incredible fragger(then again zekken is prolly the best NA duelist rn and Ardiis is dog)
