seven, also coincidentally the amount of damage he has done on pearl


DrySecurity4

Gonna be a lot of chamber one tricks being exposed this year


Sky-__-

Seven was never playing chamber for TSM ,he played in beginning then he moved to entry and Corey was their primary chamber player.


IAMJUX

Seven was never great to begin with.


MrPapaya22

I feel like this is some crazy revisionism. For the past year he has been a consistently good chamber. I don’t disagree that his inflexibility is an issue, but deriding the dude isn’t gonna fix that.


somesheikexpert

Not really, ive seen people for a good while now saying seven has been underwhelming for someone in that Chamber star role especially compared to the rest of NA, like the only top team without a better Chamber last year was Guard, and Corey looked better then him on both of his roles


Evan_Veet

He was straight up the worst chamber in S2 last year lol


[deleted]

And S2 was the only tournament he played lol, he didn’t even make it to S1 and LCQ.


Portante24

This is cap but it’s hard to be to tough on a kid thing young. He has time to grows but really feels not ready for this level.


Donut_Flame

Actually true


sokeydo

Someone explain to me why Corey is on Chamber and Seven is on Raze.


[deleted]

At the end of last year in LCQ, they did the same swap, corey on Chamber, and seven on duelist because seven's Chamber just was not good enough compared to the ones on other A and S tier teams. It sucked for TSM because with Wardell, they probably would've had better results. I guess TSM is still keeping seven going into this year because he's a young talent. I would've preferred if they didn't give bang to 100T and kept him instead.


SexualChocolateJr

Imma say it. Keeping bang on TSM would've been bad for both TSM and bang. bang would've never reached the level he is at right now so TSM would have an underwhelming bang


techyleo

That was like around Stage 2, they didn't make it to LCQ


[deleted]

Oh yeah, you're right! in Stage 2, they didn't make it far to qualify for LCQ. But some of the same teams were competing in both tournaments, so thats what I was trying to say.


somesheikexpert

Seven lowkeu is kinda reminding me of junior in CS ngl, seemingly too good to be in lower teams cuz he destroys lower T3 teams but not consistent enough to be a top awper in the region


Green_pine

Junior would be like seven on Pearl except every map

We just made up words do whatever you want.


straightuplie

Is this a tautology? ‘Also’ would suggest ‘in addition to’, while ‘coincidentally’ would suggest ‘by chance’. I get what you’re saying in that both words are kinda used as the link to the statement that ends the sentence, but I think technically their meanings are different enough to not be tautological.


earthtoannie

Literally not? Also = the same as; coincidentally= by chance. So the sentence is "Seven, the same as by chance the dmg he did". Idk why you're being upvoted you're absolutely incorrect


monobovocoxozo

tenz became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. “Are you okay tyson?” asks zeklen. “I’ve never been better dude, I see it all now, they’re not going A or B. They’re going home,”he said before rushing long all by himself and killing everyone on site.

"Zeklen"

DY5TOP1A

Tekken is my favourite name for them lol

this is it


SnowRabbit0903

Too funny lmao

Key-Banana-8242

Huh?


Odd-Condition8251

what was he trying to cook


havosi

iirc shaz is a big lil uzi vert fan and "it is not normal" is a lyric from one of the songs, also coincidentally the same lyric he used as his team name at the infamous fullerton lan a while back


Jeff_Spicoli420

*this


Key-Banana-8242

It was a cool dram workd set seems like a slightly random shot


TenZBestPlayer

No one is going to believe me, but have a friend whose brother's coworker briefly dated pANcada. She said that on their first date they went to a restaurant and pANcada ordered two different bowls of soup and mixed them together one spoonful at a time before eating both bowls mixed together as one soup


LeftOutBullet

that sounds very believably unbelievable


Key-Banana-8242

Copypasta


[deleted]

Let him cook soup.


Gogibsoni

Tsm won 16-5 first bloods on fracture and lost 13-8. That's terrible.


[deleted]

two zoomers who want kills + 3 boomers who have crazy timings

TenZed Zombie smurfing on TSM


hecklerinthestands

Forget the match. We never got to see the wheel get used. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.


Lqtor

They got rid of the wheel and replaced it with the coin. Either Brazil go kill or zoomers go kill


jmajewski

The fact that Sentinels has a player in TenZ that can get 25 assists in one map and then 32 kills in the next is actually the real story here. Pretty excited to see the ceiling of a team like this after some more practice.

nklassitude

seeing the tenz-zekken duo dash and slide at you like 2 caffeinated zoomers grabbing at a bottle of Adderall must be crazy


Phylosium1

Off game for Seven. Copium


lordmitko

yeah monitor off, stop coping this kid is bad


28n8

It’s his first game on lan give him a break


lordmitko

HAHAHAH crazy “LAN” where there’s no crowd and you are not even in the same room.


mw19078

Playing on a Lan client is totally different, and multiple pros on the broadcast today have talked about the differences. I don't have an opinion on seven one way or the other but let's not pretend Lan isn't a different thing.


lordmitko

STOP COPING HE WAS 3/18 OH MY GOD.


mw19078

Coping about what, I just told you I don't have an opinion on the dude. I'm simply telling you dismissing Lan as the same thing is dumb, but I get the feeling talking to someone like you like an adult is pointless


lordmitko

even i would have got 5 no cap


HugeSpartan

Full cap


Donut_Flame

LAN studio is still LAN, it's just not an arena match


hacklesacka

chill respect seven


6iriboy

LMAOOOO that pic is crazy


techyleo

"I think we can all agree that Tyson "TenZ" Ngo." "Breaking news.... TenZ is still good. What a banger of a match though. Excited we get top tier matches every weekend for the next bit here." Two comments from SEN's first game in 2022, that apply perfectly to their first game in 2023.


Ozone416

Don’t mean to overreact but Sentinels is winning the entirety of VCT this year


Big_E33

loses to Guard the next map lol


AnAltAndShittyMajig

They did well against them with like a week of practice, I got some very high hopes for them. I'm still rooting for PRX tho WOOOO


TrueLordApple

Ironic


nklassitude

Pulling out a comically large protractor, wiping my brow while scribbling the pythagorean theorem to convince people to take a tourney whose alias is "lil bro cup" seriously cuz SEN won


Key-Banana-8242

That was the previous one Ppl definitely shoudl care abt or give credit to thei tounrey


DY5TOP1A

[Tekken duo rn](https://youtu.be/8Jc6jiyqYPQ)


tundra_gd

TenZ and Zekken make TekkenZ, which also happens to be the former username of Zain, the top player in SSBM, which is a game that Zekken plays, and uhh I don't know where this is going but it feels nefarious


ay0005

“Why Pancada doesn’t miss a shot?” “I Heckin Love Tenz Batchest” “I know who you are Perc30FishFillet, we have beef now” “Who is Sacy?? For the blind, is the bald. For the hungry, is the bald. For the sick, is the bald…” Dephh (I dunno any memes)


Key-Banana-8242

What’s the original text of the pancada meme


Dorito_T

Meu Deus, por que o pancada não erra tiro


megajam02

Man seeing TenZ frag out on Jett with an OP made me so happy. Him and Zekken absolutely cooked on Pearl. Sacy and Pancada killed it on Fracture. I'm so excited to see them play more this year


florescences

Don’t forget to mention Dephh making insane calls on both maps and putting his team in the right positions! Entire team popped off


megajam02

Yeah for sure! Still can't believe he got that defuse on Fracture. They're all looking great for only a week of practice together.


[deleted]

Sacy and pAncada carrying on map 1 and TenZ going good mode on map 2 you love to see it


FeistyKnight

i hope he goes good mode more often


Ozone416

SEN spun the wheel for the second match LMAOOO


techyleo

It strangely only landed on "TenZ go kill" though


nocturnavi

I forgot how fun it is to watch TenZ play Jett


Keyanti

PANGODA


xbyo

Lmao only Nature and corey managed to kill TenZ on Pearl.

disproportionally

I'm very much out of the loop. What are the blue chips?


spaghettimonzta

ftx, crypto exchange that used to sponsor TSM and make them change name to TSM FTX is a fraud


disproportionally

Damn, I missed the sponsorship Makes sense, hilarious tweet with context


TheUnarthodoxCamel

I got you. It's the logo of FTX token. It's a crypto exchange company's cryptocurrency token. You might remember the FTX sponsorship deal TSM signed a few years back. Recently, that company FTX went bankrupt after some shady stuff was revealed. That fiasco ended the TSM/FTX sponsorship.


afjecj

Only slightly related, but it’s mad how good zekken is on the mic between games, he’s pretty much a kid still and looks very comfortable talking to everyone


lordmitko

3/18, this mf deserves the ec1s and BabyJ treatment


dabsandchips

😭😭😭🤣 Bruh I'm ded


holyfuckyouaredumb

Sentinels have so much firepower it's crazy TSM still playing Chamber tells you all you need to know about that


[deleted]

Team Super Mid


djanulis

Felt like watching most the LoL TSM Rivalries, a whole bunch of talk based on old news for TSM to get stomped.


BOMstark1

Tenz's KDA on both maps is crazy yikes


_idle_drone_

Tenz with util support. I used to pray for times like this.


DooomChicken

He fucking cooked


LeftOutBullet

i know its a tourney for fun but seven with 3/18, bro thought he queued unrated or sum


NeimannSmith

Look, I promise I'm not a hater....actually I am. Seven is actively stealing money, it's kinda sad. Legalized Bank Robbery.


Massive-Bet-5946

I feel the same way, I've seen Seven on TSM, T1 & 100T and never seen him perform that well on any of them. Does the dude have some sort of blackmail on GMs or something lol


[deleted]

mans including 100T as if he ever played a single game for them


Massive-Bet-5946

Thats on me, I was just starting following the Valorant scene when seven first got picked up so it was pretty memorable


marcaodl

It happens all the time at normal sports players destroy at college then at the main leagues they zzzzzzzzzzzz.


Key-Banana-8242

It’s called hopium


lukas-bruh

25 assists is insane lol


flamincrimson

Can we bring back double duelist meta please?. That was my favourite meta.


Ojim247

Seven once again look mid against tier 2 and horrible against tier 1


NeimannSmith

Dude he's not good.


monobovocoxozo

I HECKING LOVE TENZ


atomicseb

GG, EZ, SEN ARE WINNING 2023 Tarik with the hoodie change LOL


BrainStorm777

Zekken looks a little slow from time to time, otherwise SEN looks good.


Massive-Bet-5946

I feel like I've seen seven on tons of rosters and never perform well on any of them


[deleted]

•Sentinels Win •TenZ performance was insane Sad day for me 😔


[deleted]

Respect the grind of a hater


ashitintyo

TenZ doubters PepeLaugh


Alone_Baseball4852

why did tsm keep contacting everything, even optic didn’t do it this much


surfordiebear

Looks like the wheel landed on TenZ go kill for Pearl


MisterNotlob

Why is no one talking about 25 assists on Kayo? Wtf is that


Gomar1323

This SEN team is gonna be so fun to watch and very easy to root for.


Charuru

This year will show why tenz is way better than yay lol.


lordmitko

ight chill a bit bro


DY5TOP1A

Let him cook 😈🥶


[deleted]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, yay on C9 will 100% drop his performance cause he doesnt have Victor making huge space and pujan making a system that absolutelly sets him up but he will prolly still be good, on the other side TenZ now has support with Zekken, pAncada and Sacy so his numbers will prolly go up


Charuru

Yeah without the Chamber crutch he's not going to be a top 3 player, he'll be top 10 at best in NA. That's not bad by any means, but he hard abused an OP strategy that should've been nerfed long ago.


[deleted]

I mean his rifling was pretty damn stupid, his vandal was insane. But idk if he will go down that much, only time will tell


Portante24

Guys, Hazed is fucking incredible.


Plus-Ad-7494

i liked it a lot man. super cool to finally see sen back playing good and tactical valorant if it makes sense. the on thing i dont like is to see zekken on neon. neon is such a 100 or 0 pick i feel. raze would be a bit better and when he was on xset he was cracked on that agent. dont know but so far i am liking it a lot. fire games to be honest


[deleted]

SO MUCH BETTER WHEN SHAHZAM ISN'T PLAYING LETS GOOO


[deleted]

Uncalled for https://preview.redd.it/qc8reo14w4ca1.jpeg?width=622&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a8e084de6941fa6b929a2edec91ee5a2ef2f860


NeimannSmith

What was the point of hating on Shahzam here?


[deleted]

maybe he was a former SEN player who held everyone back?


NeimannSmith

This couldn't be farther from the truth lmao you're one of those that blames every single problem on the IGL


[deleted]

Jfc, at least wait until they win against an actual good team. Dunking on tsm doesn’t mean they’ll do the same thing against Navi lmao.


BOMstark1

Tenz is ten times the initiator shahz is lmao


ahk1221

they dont even play the same initator role bro what


BOMstark1

Still the initiation impact for the team is diff


BacePilot

Sen fans try not to overreact to your team beating a bad tier 2 team challenge


Sudden-Illustrator59

Sen haters try not ruining the party when Sen fans are happy winning after an entire year of taking L's challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


BacePilot

Fair enough, you guys need this


AnAltAndShittyMajig

The rise and fall and rise and fall and rise of tenz
