Asuna is easily a top 3 player in NA gameplay wise and stats wise. Did u see him do bad in a few games and think he's awful?

It's not like shahz is stealing tenz's jett, shahz actually only plays jett when tenz doesn't want to.

NA 2nd seed > EU 1st and 2nd seed
NA 1st seed > EU 4th seed (when it actually matters)

""copium" he litterally gave you the stats wym?

The score line is the best indicator oh how the game went on, just because i talked about the score doesn't mean that's the only thing i put into account. If you look at the stats SEN only won 1 round from a clutch, no 1v1 wins to close out the map or anything. That means that SEN had 2+ people alive 11/19 rounds.

Most of G2's strats and plays were read by SEN and any gun round G2 was able to pull out was immediately upset on SEN's eco.

G2 is still a very good team and has potential to do well in the tournament as a whole they just don't compete against sentinels

13-6 is about as dominating as it gets. They held a comfortable lead the entire game, just cause it wasn't a 13-2 doesn't mean they played bad. I also assume they wouldn't use their entire playbook in their first match against a mediocre team unless they needed to, which they obviously didn't

It would require critical thinking skills to understand that

Who's gonna tell him?

you do realize that CSGO and Valorant are different games right? Being good in CS gives you nothing more than a slight advantage. Take a look at the best NA teams right now and how those players did at the end of their CS career.

100T might be one of the only teams that have a shot at taking down Sentinels, obviously it wouldn't be easy but they're matches are close already and playing on LAN is a whole new game.

Jett - Tenz (SEN)
Duelist - Asuna (100T)
Sentinel - FNS (NV)
Sova - Bcj (XSET)
Smokes - s0m (NRG)

Notes: For duelist i would also consider Subroza if your looking for more of a flex than duelist, if this was to happen i would add steel as igl with him instead of FNS

Smokes is debatable, ZachaREE is an option and so is gMd, Bang and maybe even trill (assuming all other teams have a player already on the team)

XSET was one of the most consistent teams with thwifo and wedid. If you look at their past matches they were consistently qualifying for top tier events and narrowly loosing to the best of the best like envy in iceland qualifiers. XSET was looking to be a top 5 team already. A change in igl and a new fragger is what made XSET preform well recently. It had nothing to do with thwifo or wedid. If you paid attention to any XSET matches you would've noticed how valuable thwifo was and how his lurks were only matched by that of steel or dapr, some of the best lurks in the game.

Best take I've seen, it's the fact that the only "decent" team they've beaten is renegades. You also can't base a teams skill on a singular map and I don't think its fair to consider a team tier 1 until they can consistently compete against other tier 1 teams which is something they haven't proven yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they did in the near future.

I never said they didn't prepare, I said they didn't prepare to the extent that Soniqs or BBG did. Also what you said makes no sense cause SEN had plenty of time to study vods before iceland but didn't which shows that they don't study vods that much. I remember a few months ago shahz said that he is the only one that vod reviews and will just relay certain information to the team. I know for a fact that other T2 and T3 teams take vod reviewing way more seriously.

sure but sentinels are probably not studying footage as much and spending more time on other T1 teams they'll be taking on in the future. Taking a map on a team right after a big tournament is the same thing BBG did and they're on the verge of being a tier 3 team.

Hiko alone has more twitch and twitter followers than tenz to put that into perspective for you. Not to mention that basically all the other 9 guys from 100T and TSM stream weekly if not daily with 2k+ viewers.
