It's fair because I've been extremely high on SEN since the new iteration of the roster, but it's not really coping anymore. That SEN roster genuinely should be top 3 in Americas, they have far too much talent to not be that good.

Ranking IMO, based on teams rosters/potential rosters as of now:
What? That's what makes it more fun. Do you really want the same best teams in every league, every year, and there's no parody?
My point is not about that though, because from his perspective he probably feels like he's weighing in on the TenZ debate with good information. However, for a lot of people, it just feels overly critical and that it's motivated by the views he could get from it. Sideshow doesn't seem like the kind of person who would single TenZ out on purpose, though.
Tbh, I don't think he did it with any ill intent, but it does come across like he's singling out TenZ because he's popular. So many other pros would have a video just as long if you bothered to nit-pick their gameplay too.
Lev vs G2 is going to be a banger game next season. W for Lev and Tex.
High probability:
Cryo
Asuna
Bang
Somewhat likely possibility
eeiu
5th unknown
Probably needs to be an sentinel igl though.
Sen could run the prx comp on ascent:
Something like:
zekken - Raze
TenZ - Reyna
Sacy - Skye
Johnqt - Viper
pancada - Harbor
He's not bad and honestly gets a little to much hate for 100T underperforming. That being said though, there are better options at igl than him. Zander, flyuh, Shahz, are all better options than him, and none of them are in t1.
Now I see why y'all say "if I speak" so much...
I use ion as my main vandal rn, and I like it a lot. But it's just personal preference I guess. I swap it with prime every now and then.
If this is true TenZ is like an actual flex fr, his Omen and Harbor are going to be interesting, but lowkey I can see him cooking on both.
I think the best team you could get rn is something like:
BABYBAY/corey
Nature
Shahz
Aproto
supamen/paincakes
Most Optimistic Roster:
leaf (where tf is leaf going tbh?)
BcJ (trialed with M80 but nothing is confirmed)
Shahz
Aproto
s0m? (Idk if he's willing to play in t2 and w/o FNS)
Bro trust you'll get there one day, just believe and try to have fun. Don't be like me, I've played like 2k+ matches and my peak is g2, in part because my mental is utter dogshit.
Oh, well I'm sure you'll figure it but at the end of the day, a good skin is better than no skin.
Well yeah, in pro play there's definitely going to be a lot more contesting for map control, but I also doubt that teams will be running solo players on A a lot. It seems like a site where you would always have two on it, or at least most of the time.
A month is a decent amount of time tbf, if you just log on every day to check your store, for like 30 days roughly there's a good chance you'll get it. It is a long time to wait, and you might have to wait longer. I'd personally just wait until I got the skin I wanted, but that's just me.
I do agree A is hard to hold alone but in ranked good luck getting your team to do a coordinated push. IMO, run a Cypher or KJ (Cypher is better though) and double the site with two players, one to watch each choke. Also, some teams prefer going B anyway, so that problem becomes less of an issue. (If this is a take about pro-play that's different and will likely include a lot more pushes/attempts to take space)
Oh well, in that case, it just depends on how much you like the reaver op vs araxys op, and how long you're willing to wait for araxys.
Alright then, what's a take that you really believe in (hot takes are better)? I'm down to discuss.
If you really want araxys, wait. You might be waiting for a while though, and as someone who has the reaver op, it's pretty good skin. It's also a little cheaper which is why I went for it over other skins.
These kinds of threads provide nothing to the site. Please stop with these dumb af bait posts.

I went for a team that could actually be a team in vct theoretically, no language barriers and going off the import rule.
Stats can be misleading, every game is a new game and you never know how someone will play in a one off ranked game.
The EG game was pretty tough tbf, but that FNC game was 100% winnable, and even if in this particular game it was more a strats thing, DRX still has a history of choking in big games. There have been like 4 times when DRX gets two or three matches into playoffs, and in that game has a one-map lead, but gets reverse swept. They have to improve their mental if they want to win, but it is probably getting better if champions 2022 and lock//in are any indication.
The roster change obviously didn't help, but even when they reverted back to the same starting five, they fell short again. And tbh, idc how good FNC or EG were, for a team of DRX's caliber, those games are winnable. They always crumble in the big games, a 2-10 comeback against a new team in VCT won't change that fact.
First off, DRX never even had a downfall, the worst they did was place 7-8th. Secondly, it's most likely a mental thing, because they play insane until they get a match into the main bracket, and then things always fall apart. It's just a little weird how often that happens, like as if they lose confidence or something.
What are you saying? Like idk who on DRX you consider to be a noob, and judging how good a player would perform in VCT, based on one match in an off-season tourney, is crazy.
DRX is the one team that definitely should not make any changes to the starting lineup. The core 5 of that team has a floor of top 5-6 itw, but if you can fix their mental, they could be the best team itw.
Getting banned from a twitch chat is crazy
Bro, she had one bad game, but she's still one of the better GC players.
(5/20) + (16x/20) = 11/20 -> (rewrite as) 5 + 16x = 11 -> 16x = 6 -> x = 6/16 -> x = 3/8
X = 3/8
Ay, I got name-dropped again, lol.
Name a better duo than NA Val and drama, lol.
Nah, you don't force people to be in a study, you just randomly select a sample, and then from there, you ask them whether they'd like to participate in the study. Volunteers just skew the data towards the kind of people that would volunteer, thus giving you a less representative sample.
An experiment would never take volunteers though, it's not scientific.
I think this is fake btw, because why tf would SEN put TenZ on Viper and not Chmaber in this comp? Also, they haven't played an official match since LCQ.
TenZ on viper in that comp is crazy
That's a crazy shot wtf. This one is actually kinda sus, like it's too perfect of a shot.
FNC is overrated asf. People act like they are untouchable but in reality they barely beat Loud at Lock//IN and won Masters against PRX with a sub and EG in their international debut. Once we got to Champs and most teams started returning to form, FNC looked pretty good but not great. Super team my ass, they got hard read by Loud lol.
C9W doesn't exist anymore, and even if they did, they wouldn't even be close unfortunately.
I don't think he was intentionally trying to single out TenZ, but it kinda feels that way. It's also incredibly long for no reason.
emon 1 is my favorite player, bro is insane.
Fax, he's lowkey underrated at this point.
Good game sense is good and all, but you just gotta be able to aim well. Most of the time you can make the dumbest plays but still win if you can just out-aim them.
