Meh, pretty much was. Either way, I think the top teams will qualify for champions cause that makes sense, but the statement "Liquid / Fnatic are like 80% locked in Champions too, although most people don't realize it just yet. They will destroy everyone in Iceland." Is completely unnecessary for the point made.

mf just said, "EU is goated and everyone else sucks" in a complicated way

that was like 8 months ago lol

I agree with all of this but the playstyle isn't specifically Tenz's. Sentinels are notoriously aggressive with their playstyle especially with eco rounds due to the suspected ease. Regardless I think Sentinels have shown that this won't be the case (in terms of 100T statement). I think it will be a close game and one team will not have strong enough of an advantage to control the other.

I'm pretty sure this post is just to say that sentinels will lose early. Just happens that V1 is playing them first so he used them as the point of reference.

If you look at TSM's games, cutler does very well in certain games, those games TSM usually gets smacked cause he is the only one fragging.

I agree.

These teams, specifically the first two, have been under serious fire for their recent performances and it simply doesn't make sense. The precedent has been set from the first Master's tourney that these teams shouldn't lose games and when they do they have instantaneously "fallen off." When these three teams were smacking all the competition in Masters 1, nobody was talking about how bad the other teams were. The North American scene is incredibly unique as the competition is highly variable and tight at the same time. Simply put, I see people talking poorly on these teams with no motives other than their recent games. Please just give it time and wait for substantial loss or roster cuts to determine that a team has "fallen off."

I love how SEN have a tough run of games and have now fallen off.

You can't win games with consistently more deaths than kills :)

Completely agree. He needs to be taken out as he is a clear weak link that consistently doesn't carry his own weight. A very consistent bottom frag that is holding down the team.

c9b and tsm need more to be put in this tier.

Got it will do. Regardless of what happens in Iceland and who makes it, I am excited about the games!

I watch EU as I said. I was referring to the Brazilian players he was talking about.

No, I haven't as this potent skill you describe was not something I was aware of before. However, I will make an effort to watch some of the games today. Are there any players you specifically recommend me to look out for? (Referring to the dominant duelists)

This once again is not true. I am not a Sentinels fan. I watch NA, EU, and Korean Valorant. I do not make controversial initial posts with bold and unbackable statements. You seem like you simply dislike NA.

I believe GenG is trialing koalanoob

Unnecessary. Any team making it this far does not need roster changes they simply need time. If they are able to make it this far there is no reason for players to be cut/removed unless there is a clear failing link. Please remember that they beat FaZe to get to where they were.

This simply seems like a biased view, there is plenty of young talent but not much of it is shown in the U.S. scene yet because most of them have not made it to those "tier 1" teams. All Sentinels players have admitted that their play yesterday was horrible and to base their skill off of any games played yesterday is unfair and idiotic. The mentioning specifically about Tenz seems to be once again based on yesterday's game and to say that he is not a top player in the world is simply false, and to compare him so poorly to all these other guys is exaggerated.

Vision Strikers player said he was worried about one main team from outside Korea. That team was Sentinels.

regardless, i don't think this point relates to what he means. I think he is trying to say that the successful and large org should be able to put together a good roster.

"Adding free agents" as suggested in the initial post, only really works if the team is playing well and there is just a clear failing link. In this case there isn't one of those, the teams as a whole are simply playing poorly.

100t does have csgo.

I feel like the main issue was their idea of signing. Many of them mushed together a team through players that were good or looked like they had good potential. I feel like many of these orgs should do what SoaR did and enter the scene by picking up an already existing and successful roster. By adding funding, management, and coach(s), it could end up developing some of these teams and really give them the ability to excel.

The problem with this is valorant is too much of a tactical and strategical game. While putting a bunch of pros together would be good they may not mesh as well as they are supposed to. Raw talent can only take you so far.

completely agree with this.
