As a cypher main I'm not mad at what they did to his trips as they were a little annoying to play against but I think that making it so his camera doesn't go invisible anymore was just a pointless change.

Unless Furia somehow manages to be a top 3 team and Kaplan stops trying to force tejo and retake simulator then I would be worried

I'm pretty sure it was the Chinese Valorant client itself that caused it not the servers but I could be wrong

I don't know why people are saying to remove kyu, his mechanics genuinely looked good and his scan initiators and skye are also good, its just the igl'ing and kaplans bum ass comps that aren't putting him on his best agents and are instead putting him on fucking tejo that are holding him back.

Lev, they played relatively well against an 100T that isn't bad

Loud is too high

(Also what is that delusion I see at number 4 and 5)

Tyloo is winning that game, splash hangs 50 on fpx and berlin will make oxy's performance against nrg look like a master class

This is almost as delusional as EMEA fans thinking they aren't a one team region before every international

Are rito trying to force a Sen v 100T matchup? Like the bracket basically guarantees they meet at least once, are rito that desperate for viewership.

Doubting Furia too much

One of only 2 good matches in EMEA(The other being bbl vs pcf for obvious reasons)

Same, I thought that there was no way that a team with lukxo, virtyy and darker could loose to C9

My pickems have been fucked from the start because I chose the wrong upsets

The only way Sen don't have it worse or more embarrassing is if Furia manage to win against G2.

Their bind was good and their corrode was really good(though after some demo's teams will figure out how to play around it)

Boaster, like alfa or kajaak can put up 90+ kills each in a bo5 and they still loose because of how much boaster dies

Even as an 100T hater, 100T do look good, but I will put a caveat on that because I have seen many 100T honeymoons like this before where they look like one of the best teams in Americas for the first few games and then don't look like that anymore.

Give them at least until the end of kickoff, even kajaak wasn't good his first game playing.

I mean saving when your whole team is dead and the other team has 4 players alive is considered stat padding now so I wouldn't doubt the lengths VLR would go to, to discredit a player.

This is just such a nothing burger drama, like since when is trash talk calling the other team trash a problem, how soft can you be. Like if he loses to you, you can clown on him, he deserves that for talking trash, but like other players have said the same shit so many times.

Nah, mibr was just butthurt they lost to a team they didn't think they should have lost too

Doubters in shambles

I fear its the classic 100T only being good at 2 maps

I just 100T biggest hater, even if they were the best team itw I'd probably still call to drop asuna and say that Sen would win even if its not true.

And oxy won

That's not how you spell urango

That's what I said

Like actually just move him to fade, leaf to viper, and babybay to chamber

Yeah

Even as an 100T hater I have to admit that 100T have one of the best binds in the world on a consistent basis, and considering they are almost always significantly better on bind than their other maps, I think it is fair to call it their map.

Well I mean that was because they didn't have a proper IGL and yes kaplan did bring structure to a team that desperately needed it, and he did make Sen's sunset and split very good, but once teams started to pick those maps apart his weaknesses started to show, just like Chet, but with Chet it was Chamber rather than two good maps.

Considering he had tenz, sacy and zekken in 2024 and that was pretty much his only excellent year, he'll likely be like Chet where it looks like he was just carried by his players in a good meta for those players.

I wasn't really worried about his fragging, I was more worried about how much value jonahp brang in comms and support vs babybay. But it seems as that worry was unwarranted.

He hasn't won a big game since Sen won against G2 in stage 2 of 2025 and even then he was already looking lost in the meta and has only gotten worse

Yes we have seen he is one of the fraud coaches along with muggle, chet, autumn, and possibly potter

Move john back to igl and just have kyu play initiator since his aim actually doesn't look that bad
Fire Kaplan

or

-Kyu +Jonahp and then either jonahp igl or johnqt igl
Fire Kaplan

I think he's trying to do what zekken use to do but he doesn't have the same skillset to do that

I don't think the skye pick was the worst, but sova is better, and I don't understand his fixation on tejo on maps other than pearl.

Not really a Sen fan(Unless they are facing 100T), but I'll give it a go:

n4rrate: Was way to aggressive for no reason and kept solo peaking and going in by himself without his team and would get killed leading to Sen stalling out or trying to help him getting them killed.
Cortezia: Not much to say other than he struggled but its kind of hard to be effective as a viper if your team isn't getting onto site effectively or not getting to site fast enough to help you hold it down.
Kyu: Calling looked rough, a lot of over cooks, and had several times where he didn't plant spike when he should, but he did show some flashes of brilliance in his mechanics.
JohnQT: People may be dogging on him for saving so much but its not like he can do much else in those situations, and you can't expect him to just dive in to combat while on astra.
Reduxx: I will give him the benefit of the doubt considering this is his first game and he's still a rookie, but he can't be playing like that.

Kaplan: I think most of this is his fault, he called poor timeouts and his map ban were stupid, like why would you ban Haven when you were doing well on it all offseason and instead choose the map you lost to a tier 2 team that was just formed.
GUNTER: Sen has looked worse ever since he joined the team and drewspark left, it could just be a matter of coincidence but I really think he's part of the problem.

15-4 record btw, also 100T even lost to 2023 Sen twice, so they can loose to just about any Sen

And yet 100T will still somehow find a way to lose to this shit.

He called fine on cubert, so I think this is definitely kaplan

He doesn't know when to use a timeout, he doesn't adapt to the meta, he always does terrible map bans, always blames it on mental, like just fire him already.

I don't know why people think the skye is bad, its a good pick

No I think skye is actually pretty good on breeze in this case

Your just trying to get rid of zellsis because C9 sucks with him

I mean I don't think he was a terrible person or deserves hate, he did a lot to improve France, but at the same time he did some pretty morally questionable things which is why I can understand why some people don't like him.

Why are you replying to a month old thread? I've already forgot about anything I was saying and what I was thinking at the time.
