he was bar none above the rest even back when nats was going crazy. nats went down in impact quite quickly meanwhile chronicle was flexing to everything and still putting up miracle numbers

relevant sure but definitely not viewed as a top player or igl

Mako def over Rb. Mako has been the best controller for 2+ years now

great aim, bad igling

TS literally suck tho, they won when DRX were trying out some troll comps and players, and they beat PRX during PRXs pre something troll games. This game against DRX they got ROLLED when DRX actually tried. TS really aint that good, they arent the worst in pacific but goddamn are they hella overrated

bro is on some unbelievably hard copium, thats the shit only us sen fans get our hands on and i should know

would be crazy but quite literally the largest impossibility of the century

my guy found the ONE map Mako didnt do good on from a year+ ago and said hes a choker x_x

bro said fraudnatic x_x

its not even a matter of individual performance as well, its just always a choke at the last stretch. Stax isnt a good enough IGL to be able to have those adaptations on the fly and i dont think anyone on the team is vocal enough to call something to help out whenever that happens

He was dominating the international stage and pretty much carried his team to a lossless first LAN win

lmao, they literally just beat Furia even while all the Fur players were OFF THE LOCK, highly doubt theyd get anything less than 3rd

who wants to tell him what choking means?

and the guy is saying Acend isnt ahead of everyone else

yep, its pretty obvious

i very much so think there is "basis" by literally looking at 50% of his rounds. Half the time bro doesnt know what the fuck is going on in the game. You can tell with the way the team plays around him that he isnt comfortable having the team all lurk around and do their own thing. He wants to be able to micromanage but 1, he sucks at it, and 2, it holds back the insane mechanical talent of the team.
The intangibles mightve been good but i mean we saw 0 glimpses of his help morale wise and we cant really contribute any anti to him since none of his team has credited that.
You can even tell with the way the team talks about him that they really dont know what to commend him on. Marved literally said "Hes good" and didnt know what else to say. He then said "Dephh always tries things and doesnt get demoralized", yet we always see him static in the rounds not taking any map space and waiting for his opponents to peek even tho they wont

i know you already know the answer but to reiterate it
HE SUCKS
He sucks at everything he does. Sometimes he has flashes of brilliance but everyone would much rather an average igl than one that more so that not is nonexistent and is just a detriment to the team both on strats and on execs

bro if china dont want him i dont think DSG is even thinking about him

tbf tho its leaf doing a ton of the work and the player quality and awareness on that teams allows him to work much less than how he was on soniqs where he probably had to micromanage a lot

theyve already qualled since the beginning of the season theyre literally just running it down now they have nothing to play for

its not a matter of marved or anyone else playing well. Its a matter of if dephh calls well and doesnt get lost mid round over and over again and if he can actually get kills in the double digits consistently on every map played.
If he cant do that then i think its more likely sen lose

thats questionable, their opposition has been really shaky every single week. Loud were the most solid and even then it looked like loud were just kinda going through the movements and werent really there to win

giants losing to fnatic is on a whole different dimension of comparison my guy x_x

i dont have that thought process cause they arent struggling at all. I still think C9 are really shaky tho cause i think thats quite apparent. C9 have gotten better and better but sen literally had 1 week to play with each other. I think favourites are SEN but again as i said if dephh is gonna keep dragging down his team then i dont see sen winning

why wouldnt fns be a good igl? His calling is far superior to dephh and so is his fragging. FNS is a proven igl time and time again, dephh on the otherhand igled on the attack half and wasnt even the one with the larger role.
Dephh somehow manages to put up numbers tenz does in his worst games but in ALL of his games. Dephh will have 1 mediocre ass map where he manages double digits but then hell have more where he literally is dragging the team down. There is no question that he isnt a tier 1 level igl, there are many more that are better than him.
Can the team succeed with him? Yes of course if he improves they could easily be the best team in the world, however there are definitely other options they couldve gone for had bias and nepotism not been involved in the decision of who would be picked up.

it shouldnt be that close at all considering they were pretty dominant against loud and they only lost cause of their own inconsistency. If dephh is a good igl sen wont lost against C9. Sadly I dont think he is a good igl

Its so sad to see the last remaining piece of the iceland roster be put to rest (effectively). Sen were the team that got me into valorant and they were the ones that kept me watching. They were such a dominant team yet somehow they were always so fun and tense to watch. Theyd start throwing rounds and youd question if they would be able to close the game out or not but they always did in the end. Each individual player is so visible on the map while playing cause of how known their personalities are. Sen just always looked like they had the most fun while playing and you could feel that from watching them.
Ive been supporting sen since before tenz but even though thats the case i still love to watch their games even with just him from the original roster. Now that hes gone its cemented the fact that its a completely different team. When I was watching both the loud and the MIBR games, that same emotion from every sen game i watched was missing. I love these new guys cause all of them are insane players and great people (yea even dephh, tho not sure abt the good player part) but it just aint the sen i used to know. Ill be supporting them still cause theyre great players but Sen literally went from bar none my favourite team by a mile to probably just another team ill root for on the side.
FNCs style just doesnt seem as creative as it used to, it just kinda looks textbook now so they arent that fun to watch anymore even tho theyre really good.
DRX were one of the most entertaining teams but they used to have on and off games, now they dont even show glimpses anymore of the DRX that looked like theyd be able to beat any team in the world
Optic aint even a thing anymore and even in their last few games you could see their age and how they were all starting to fall off.
PRX have trolled themselves into oblivion
Ill be waiting for that next team that gets me to really watch every single round but i doubt that at this age of valorant that team is gonna come
At the end of the day you support the players not the org and anyone who doesnt get that is weird asf. Ill support this team but its sad to know that Tenz isnt really a core part of the team anymore.

yea exactly i dont think people understand that the sen supporters stuck around to see the iceland roster succeed. We didnt need all of them to be on the team but now none of them are. I doubt tenz will come back in any effective way at least not in big matches and people need to understand, we support the players not the org (esp not sen, theyre one of the shittiest orgs in terms of HR).

every human being on earth is a hypocrite, there is no exception. The fact that youre comparing their situation to a tweet memeing on their previous strats is just immature and stupid. The situation with tenz and kyedae is on a different level of seriousness, dont even try that lame attempt at sending more hate their way.

idk man id say sick was definitely their best player, other than when he was on omen

because its actually justifiable. Hes the worst Tier 1 player right now on a team thats probably the most stacked in Americas bar Loud

no but a lot of the other dumb shit he does is on the IGL for putting him in areas where he is so uncomfortable + gets 0 supporting util. They literally sent him to push a main OVER AND OVER with ZEEEROOO supporting util I was malding my ass off watching that

no honestly theres more competition in Pacific than any other region i feel.
There are the closest margins between all the teams and no team are guaranteed other than DRX. If were talking about skill level though asia is probably the average lowest

ok but wtf does any of this have to do with hating on him? Oh he has money, therefore i am allowed to shit on him for being human??
Shut the fuck up, if you were a mature adult then you wouldnt be talking like this. You a loser 20 year old with no friends or family working a day job that barely gets you anywhere cause you didnt bother with your education or to put in any effort into anything when you had the chance and now youre sad and miserable.
Get off VLR go fix your life

well i mean it isnt like mindfreak is putting in the effort so anyone else works. Hes at this point the same as every other mid smoker in asia. I doubt theyd be able to entice sscary off of his bleed contract but maybe try that or maybe get that onic smoker whoever he was

idk if theyre really doing that but i feel like if anyone should be going it should be mindfreak first, bro has fallen off hard
hes also mentioned multiple times on interviews that he doesnt enjoy valorant and he plays it cause hes good at it and it makes him money

.

d3ffo has never been as good as all those players so idk why youre comparing them

i would definitely not put TG ont he same level as M80, theyre equal to G2

i feel like it would be the other way around. Once youve settled and are already really comfortable you then have to play harder teams and then they ll be able to force out those mistakes from you even when youve thoguht youve fixed them

NRG played like ass tho not even just on an individual level but on map 2 their strats were nowhere to be seen
I dont think as of right now SEN can be said to be number 1 cause they looked way too shaky against a 100T that barely adapted to anything. The next week match most likely will determine no. 1 NA for the most part of the season. Sad part is that SEN has the top 5 teams in the league against them in their first 5 matches, its ridiculous

bruh the only ones that are valid are dicey and ardiis (maybe laz idk i dont watch zeta). The rest of them have proven their other agents are top tier, just cause thye played 2 matches this year and didnt frag like they usually do doesnt mean shit.

so what youre saying is Chets cringe comps is why they lost the map?

true

bros got 3-11ed and he thinks its luck x_x

we arent talking about igls...
I definitely think pancada especially as of right now shouldnt be on the list. His conversion to his old role isnt going as smoothly as i imagined.
Derke shouldnt be above chronicle cause bro is literally an overheat machine

i think its arguable between those two but considering the role suygetsu plays i think i have to give it to him. Suygetsu is also much more consistent

such an obvious bait

fracture just got a rework, the only problematic and hated map that hasnt gotten anything in ages is Icebox. Ascent doesnt really have any problems at all and its just such a classic staple map
