zekken said on stream that he hasn't signed anything yet, and dephh probably hasn't either, so what exactly did Sentinels do wrong here? they haven't made an announcement and it's not like they have to consult with ShahZam about who they're interested in getting for the team
he also liked a tweet that says “Tenz, Tarik, Zekken, Marved, Trent”
Yeah he isn’t really needed atm, dapr can play fade and you only really need sova on Breeze/Icebox (which don’t require neon/raze) so zekken can be their sova on those maps, and dephh plays breach
What Sushi_ said is definitely important, but I'd also like to add that the game(s) you want to play and the resources your school has are going to make quite a difference. If the students are able to supply their own equipment (laptops, mice, etc.) then it's pretty easy, but if you need to borrow the school's equipment then games that require a lot of computers for a match (e.g., LoL, VALORANT, CS:GO) become complicated. Smash Bros is an easy and cheap option because all you need is one computer and a few controllers. Basically, just have a plan for what equipment and funding you need and how you expect to cover that cost (charging a club fee maybe).
I'm pretty sure one of my math teachers started one at my high school when I was a sophomore/junior and they did a lot of Smash tournaments
you have to get all six or it doesn't matter
supamen is really good on Omen, but i’m not as confident in his other agents. tbh i haven’t seen him play that much
If they can’t get Marved, I would definitely choose aproto (over moose/supamen ig) as their new controller
are we including players from LATAM/BR?
From the rulebook:
A Team Member who has dual citizenship or otherwise qualifies as a Resident of more than one country cannot be a Resident of two League Territories simultaneously. Once a Team Member declares residency for a Team in a League, in order to switch residency to another League the Team Member must have participated in at least fifty percent (50%) of regular season matches of their Team within that League in its most recent split (or most recent Season if there are not multiple splits).
i had this problem a lot in high school, i would just lie in bed for two hours every night waiting to fall asleep because it felt like i couldn’t shut off my brain. i really envy those people who can just fall asleep during a movie or mid-conversation cause i can’t seem to do that unless i’ve been awake for a super long time. i am generally a very anxious person so it’s probably tied to that, but the only thing i’ve found that helps is something like a difficult lecture video that requires me to concentrate and can exhaust/distract my brain to make me sleepy faster so I don’t just overthink things
yes you get to see him do aim lab with his feet
he has also played a decent amount of Omen and Astra in pro matches so it seems pretty likely at this point
idk why everyone seems so concerned by this, we didn’t hear anything about who NRG might be signing/dropping until Friday and haven’t heard any news about any NA org all weekend so it’s not like EG is that far behind
If NRG does well at Kickoff, I’ll still count it as a W for OpTic
the only reason I can think for a team to not have their final roster on October 15th is if they’re waiting on someone’s contract to end in the next few months, or if they start practicing with one of their new players and they’re really not meshing well with the team, otherwise October 15th should basically be the deadline cause it shouldn’t take longer than three weeks to negotiate and no one wants to add a player only to remove them before even competing
It’s not up to them. It is very likely that they want to keep him, but they have to get him to sign a new contract (and TenZ might ask for better terms given his fame). This may have already happened for all we know, and I doubt we would hear about it until an announcement is made given how secretive SEN tends to be.
They need to have a six-player roster and a coach by October 15th, but I expect that we’ll get a lot of official news over the next week. Also, 100T did confirm Cryo so it’s not all leaks
It sounds like your (RiotAgainstRiot) problem isn’t that Riot is ruining the tier-2 scene, but rather that there were never dozens of rich, established orgs to begin with that could provide copious amounts of support to their players. I don’t see how the Ascension league changes any of that.
That’s pretty much every big org in NA Valorant aside from OpTic, XSET, and FaZe (who might still join). All of the other teams were always going to relatively small anyway, so idk what more they could do
None of the NRG players announced that they were F/As until after the OpTic roster acquisition was leaked, so it’s very possible that they don’t want to formally drop their current roster until they have deals in place with new players. Same with Will, he didn’t announce anything until Cryo was official
currently waiting on Nahida and then I’m going to try a Cyno/Raiden/Nahida/Zhongli team, not sure if that’ll happen in 3.2 or ~3.6 though cause I also want Scaramouche so I may decide to wait for Nahida’s rerun
It’s not that SEN are done with TenZ, there’s just nothing stopping him from moving to NRG or EG if he wants to because of his contract allegedly expiring soon. They probably feel that it’s more important to focus on their coaches and scouting new players for their roster than on extending his contract, so he’s less of a priority but that doesn’t mean they want him gone. There are reports that they are looking for a new IGL though, so the ShahZaM part may be true.
This image definitely implies that Mordecai and Rigby are Victor and crashies
He did not have a good LCQ run, he had a good Stage 2 run and very mediocre stats at LCQ
This has been asked many times, but yes he (and trent/Less/Alfajer) can play
TenZ zekken trent/crashies Marved dephh/FNS dapr would be my six
btw it was Zellsis who said that when talking about roster changes in general: https://youtu.be/KjPHVNSJBqI
I’m assuming NDA_JN means “Non-disclosure Agreement Jimmy Nguyen”, anyone have ideas about what RS is?
With Cryo and (supposedly) yay off the market, I don’t see SEN going for anyone else and TenZ would probably prefer to stay than move to EG/NRG when his contract expires
it also says “the coaches will formulate a roster” and that they have their eyes set on a particular IGL, so it sounds like we might have to wait until after the coaches are finalized to know who’s on the active roster
Related question: If teams had to pick their agents before they knew which map they were playing, which comp would be most viable for any map?
Riot is not a government agency, they can only determine so much in their investigations without a warrant to search people’s possessions. All they can really do is ask people questions and threaten to suspend them if they don’t cooperate, so it’s not really surprising that they haven’t found much in either case.
I think for kickoff they might just do what they did at Berlin when there were 15 teams, so 6 normal groups of 4 teams and 2 round-robin groups of 3 teams. To my knowledge, swiss wouldn’t work without some significant modifications
As someone who spent several years in Florida, it always just felt like hurricane season was an excuse to get a week off of school around September. Infrastructure in Florida is really well built to prevent flooding and other damage so it’s really not that problematic unless it’s strong and you live on the beach. It’s a lot worse when it hits a place like Houston that isn’t ready for it.
it’s six players on the active roster, not including a coach
3rd highest ACS and ADR at Champions 2021, 4th highest KPR, played 5 maps of Jett and 5 maps of Skye
Saw some people saying that Cryo, zander, and stellar were on the same team so I looked it up and found out that for a short time bang was also on the team??? This has got to be the highest concentration of talent outside of a top tier team, and nearly one year later most of these players are strong contenders for franchising: https://www.vlr.gg/46991/evil-geniuses-vs-soar-nerd-street-gamers-winter-championship-open-2-sf
waiting for roster news so here we go
Who I most want to win:
Who I least want to win:
as opposed to in american football where it takes over three hours to play a one hour game because they’re constantly resetting and most of the time is wasted?
i could see someone picking him up as a sixth player (or on the reserve roster), he may not be proven now but maybe an org would want to give him proper coaching and practice while they play with their safer main controller
Yes, they just need 4 players to be from their general region (Pacific), otherwise no restrictions that I could find.
