Did everyone prepare and anti-strat against them really hard, are they hitting a slump, is one of their players failing to pop off?
What actually happened?

AGREED

I dont think this is actually too exciting, I think TSM vs NRG is going to be crazy exciting.
Its not really a fair game: Iceland champs vs Faze

I think Boaster thought of atleast one (1) antistrat against fpx since last time

PRX 2 - 0 BLEED
FNC 1 - 2 FPX
LQD 2 - 1 BIG
XSET 2 - 1 GHOST
OPTC 2 - 0 FAZE
LLL 2 - 1 FUR
thoughts?

soon actually, they qualified pretty nicely, compared to sentinels.

Fully agreed, they really need to let Sick become the main duelist.
Maybe when phoenix gets buffed (soon...?)

I think this is a viable comp, but I think one thing that should be changed is:
TenZ - Chamber
Shahzam - Breach
Sick - RAZE
Dapr - Viper/Sage
Kanpeki - SMOKES
Since SEN need an entry, I think thats a viable comp, or if you doubt Kanpeki on smokes:
TenZ - Chamber
Shahzam - Jett
Sick - Smokes
Dapr - Viper/Sage
Kanpeki - Breach

I agree, I dont think Tenz is the best player, not even on sentinels.
We all know that sick is the best player on sentinels, can play EVERY role and has consistent performance.

thats far too complicated for him, tenz only understand a couple words:
"go kill"

Tenz shouldn't play Raze, ever since first iceland Tenz raze has been REAL finnicky, its kind of hard to argue with the FK/FD = 1/5, meaning that even if Tenz wasnt on the site that LG was going to, he still lost many first engagements when they WERE pushing his site.
People are shitting on Tenz because he is INSANE on some maps, and NOT GOOD on other maps, and they are thinking that Tenz on fracture is his BAD maps, he isn't the best at raze and would have more potential on chamber, but overall I think that people shit on tenz too much

I agree with the first part, but I think that if Kanpeki either plays smokes or zombs comes back.
Sick -> Raze, and play the main entry, on maps where Raze isnt as good and a Jett is needed, it can be either worked out with Shaz or back to Tenz.
I think tenz on chamber for fracture would work pretty well

I can understand why, as tenz plays the main entry on the team, he wouldnt be able to do that as chamber, but it really confuses me because Sick & Shaz can both play Raze/Jett respectively and can entry well

LOL SHAZAM HIKO 2.0

Because sentinels make the most stupid decisions and do not let their star players shine.
Everyone knew that Guard was a fluke and the honeymoon period is over, and that 100T is a rapidly improving team because they invested in proper team infrastructure (bootcamping, coach, analyst, unlike a certain org that everyone is dogging on)

Tenz can be good at raze, but what im saying is look at the potential of tenz on chamber, he would be able to shine with dedicated opper role, whether that be purchased or with his ult

That would be too much brain power for Tyson "TenZedZombie" Ngo

I agree that this take is a little stupid, but I think that sick is far better at Raze than Tenz, and tenz really deserves the opportunity to basically have a guardian every round- we know how deadly he is.
The Kanpeki on smokes thing is a valid problem, I know he has experience playing chamber (I overall think the Kanpeki purchase was genuinely stupid, they should have picked a dedicate smokes player rather than Kanpeki but thats a different story) but Kanpeki on chamber has far less potential than bdog on chamber, and the question is: why? Maybe try Tenz on chamber and see how it goes, maybe it will be on par with Bdogs chamber. Also, Kanpeki was brought in to replace zombs, so he will inevitably have to learn smokes, unless they make sick play it (which would be infinitely stupid)
Shaz on chamber makes sense, but that one problem does make it unlikely.

Youre right, Chamber TP is important, but I think tenz can utilize the tp very well and have very good lurk potential on chamber

okay maybe ur right, i now see why tenz doesnt play chamber

exactly, so why not use than best aim in the game on a character that has a guardian every round for 150 creds per shot???

My buyout is 2.5million

Tenz can most certainly play chamber, chambers entire kit is revolved around good aim, and a single trip that he can place wherever, its just jett but more economical

Bdog is a far better duelist than tenz, he provides so much more to his team rather than tenz who is either pushing stupid fights or being a human kj turret. Look at Bdogs KAST and FK/FD compared to tenz this current match, especially Breeze.

On a sidenote: why doesn't Sentinels put their best aimer (obviously Tenz) on chamber, a role that rewards good aim, I understand the utility of raze on fracture, but everyone knows that Tenz gameplay on raze is terrible, why not:
Sick -> Raze
Kanpeki -> Brim/astra
Tenz -> chamber
Shaz -> breach
Dapr -> Sage (or Cypher)
I dont understand the Sentinels decision making

every thread you post is literally a cesspool of brain damage, please leave vlr bro

1head take.
We all know that ZOMBS FACE OF VALORANT

Let's be genuine here, chronicle already did d3ffos job but better, and with the recent jet nerfs it looks like d3ffo is going to have a tough time playing his original role on the team.
Also, check stats, EVEN IF the argument is "he is an entry its okay" he still has a terrible KAST and FK/FD.

1head take

Im sorry, wardell is NOT top 5

Kanpeki single-handedly won sentinels rounds on Breeze versus DZ, he is less mechanical than his teammates because he's fresh into tier 1 competition and expectations (we can agree akrew is not tier 1), give Kanpeki some time and he will be a very good player.

shittiest excuse ever

THIS HAS TO BE A TROLL KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

3 less kills, still provided zero benefit to team

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS T1 PAYCHECK STEEL'R MALDING "sorry to the fans we will come back stronger #t1fighting"
On a real note: T1 fell off harder than sentinels, imagine losing to SQ :skull:

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ANOTHER BRAIN DEAD BOE JIDEN THREAD

most braindead thread ive ever seen?

im saying dapr is shit because of his ego, not just aim, positioning and util usage included.
What are you trying to say?

both groups are boneheads...

wsnek, a sane sentinels fan, owner and CEO of Sentinels

CALL IT COPIUM BUT I BELIEVE IN SQ
SQ 2 - 1 T1, WIN BY OT CLUTCH FROM DIZZY AND IYEN

I agree Tenz is the only one pulling his weight, but ever since the nerfs to Phoenix- removing Sicks ability to be a secondary duelist, Tenz has been struggling to provide impact to the team, he gets the most kills on the team, but does Tenz provide anything else valuable to the team? I personally think that Tenz and Shaz need to go.
Dapr is very good at post plant, given the right circumstances. Sick is really versatile, like REALLY versatile. Kanpeki is new so he gets a pass we don't know enough to see how he does. Shaz can Jett and sova, his breach and Skye are lacklustre, he is a good IGL but he isn't fit for the IGL role. Tenz can Jett and Reyna, but that's about it. Correct me if I'm wrong!

soniqs better u are just low iq

2 iq

What makes you think Sentinels are broke right now? But I agree, Tenz needs to go

NYFU 2 - 1 GENG

COPIUM sentinels are worse than micky mouse club house

Literally anyone will 2-1 Sentinels, they are so ungodly ass, streamer team tenz and friends.
Any SANE person knows that sentinels isnt winning this one, realistically: why would Shaz and Tenz spend ANY time scrimming. Whenever Tenz streams he gets ATLEAST 200 subs, most of them are 5 dollar primers, but regardless, thats (5x200)x0.5 (half and half still for twitch subs iirc), this guy makes 500 dollars at the very minimum.
Why bother playing competitively when you can make far more money and be more popular as a streamer team?
Dogshit ORG, terrible IGL, not even a TSM fan but I can confidently say subroza is a better igl than shaz. No one on sentinels is tier1 at all, literally tenz is at best a top 50 jett (even that can be argued), shaz jett has more impact but still, not even top 50, dapr is just too much ego so he always loses shit, kanpeki is new from t2 so he gets a pass, sick is the closest to tier1 but isnt given the potential and stuck playing shitter roles.
ANYONE 2 - 1 Sentinels

Going to be realistic:
V1, Knights, 100T, NYFU (or T1 or EG)

once they see split they just go braindead
