I love everything about Sentinels. I became a fan when they kicked off Sinatraa and picked up TenZ, I was a day 1 TenZ fan since beta; the fact that he was replacing a rapist and SEN actually took action is what initially got me on their side as an Org, otherwise id still just be a day 1 TenZer. The first half of the year was disappointing to see them playing kinda rough but besides those 6 months, I love SEN because they were

• A good team
• Hype to watch and root for
• Had eye and ear catching players on and off the server
• Incredible talent
• Content kings
• Never dull, always surprising

Shroud is my GOAT, and signing him for this LCQ and being the 3rd best team at LCQ last month just really locked them in as my fav team OAT, knocking off ~2016 CS C9

scream isnt a top 10 player at champs

put the best ones u fine here, personally like #CC6000 quite a bit rn

swim, team USA bb. basketball is my fav team sport

try fade, shes basically entry support. throw prowler and back up w guns. shes decently easy and at least imo she dosnt require lineups, just intelligent util. if not fade, skye is basically the same in a lot of ways just not as valuable.

if you want to time sink into Kay/0, Judgement makes good videos and just watching them gives you a feel on how to play him, but if you feel shaky entrying, i wouldnt play Kay/0 as after he throws a knife, his job is basically to flash out of a smoke and find someone

FPX

Masters Reykjavik 2022
SEN
Shroud/SicK

other nuances; if you think when jett was meta, sova was good because intel AND because his drone tags her and forces her off her op angle. when sova tags a chamber he falls tp's into spawn rather than how jett just moves back into another site angle, tag intel on jett is valuable. whereas tag intel on a chamber is basically worthless

its really only that the meta is so execute heavy rn. buff astra and nerf chamber so other sentinels are normal again and shes pretty meh compared to Sova. meta just leans into her vs sova rn

Zekken > Cryo

how do you even have a 68% hs%??????

100T FNC

anything trying to do world record

VLR users when pros arnt burning themselves out before a tournament by scrimming for 10 hours a day for 2 weeks straight

Sen definitely above NRG but I’d put them above FAZE too. After that C9 and NRG seem pretty close but I can see either or.

I think Trent deserves his redemption story on the international stage. I also just wanna see everyone else on Guard show off what they can do. Saya LAN highlights sounds sweet

Yeah fr. Makes me sad that they won’t play for quite a bit again. Some organizer in NA fr needs to pick up on this dead space and make a tier 1 invitational with the T1 NA teams who arnt in Europe for Champions

dropping Dapr would be the org's worst decision ever possible

oh no i agree. this "gap" that some people thinks exists just dosnt. they are close, its all very comparable

holy shit. an actual conversation.

internationals is a whole different conversation, im more talking regions in the long run.

NA is hyper competitive rn, personally I dont see the same in EU, its pretty stagnant to me but to each their own. If you WERE to combine the current LCQ's i think more NA teams than not would fall between Liquid and the top. comparing #1's in the regions ofc comes down at the internationals, but personally I think internationals in the scene's current state dont really matter for longer than 2 months and arnt worth more than opinion pieces. esp cuz eventually our CCP overlords will eventually take over the scene in rankings and finance; and teams/spectators will look back at these games in 5 years and wonder how players this shit won an international

this is what i mostly wanted to get at with this post

nothing else to do. sitting here in a office chair getting paid 16$ a hour to supervise a triathlon practice team swim, and watch this boring ass NAVI vs G2 game. might as well spread some truth

same places as masters 1 and 2 EU first seeds. LCQ and Qualified. wym 💀

ACEND also won this tournament and they fell of harder then Sentinels 💀 didnt they just drop out a few days ago?

How can anyone seriously entertain the idea that T1 NA is gapped by T1 EU lmao. Liquid wouldn’t even be top half in NA LCQ let’s be real. At the very least how do people think EU is a more competitive region than NA. NA’s rankings are always in contest, it’s A tier really big compared to every region. There seems to always be about 5 or 6 A tier NA teams at any given moment since Champs last year basically. Definitely can’t say the same for EU, who have basically only a competitive B tier fighting for rankings, and a A tier filled with about 3 teams max at any given moment

Zekken lmao

delusional

bump

CLAPR DAPR BB

true

its 9 am, what else should he be doing. now we know hes fs warm for game 1 lmao

zellsis bad, rapist good

How we feeling on pearl comps?

I think double controllers is a given on this map and so far V1 and C9 both agree it seems. Both teams are running Chamber as well; Deag is good long but personally idk if it offers enough to lock Chamber despite him being so OP. You end up giving up either Sage or Kay/0 locking Chamber and idk if that's worth end of the day.

I think Pearl comp is Viper, Sage, Fade, Kay/0, Omen/Astra but what we thinking

Well I’m pretty sure this is what the system is supposed to be; it’s not my own thought creation. I forget where I heard it from but supposedly this is what Franchising is supposed to look like

I’m pretty sure the whole franchising plan is that large regions ie. the America’s have one ‘S tier’ league shared between NA, BR, LAM that the best players play in and qualify for Global comps in, and then the ‘A tier’ teams play NA only, or BR only, and the teams fluidly move up and down leagues depending on performance

MY GOAT

Covid has fallen off and people are just out working again and in school. Matches happen basically mid day which is a bit of a awkward time viewership. EMEA is also down apparently and probably for the same reason.

streaming overall is down it seems whether its Netflix or xQc.

also Shroud stopped his watch parties and he always dragged in about 200k per game in the finals and semi finals. whether they have gone elsewhere or have tuned out is a different question which idk the answer to

life is good SENwin
