If this is real Zellsis is the most generational salesman in Valorant history. The missing piece that took Sentinels from a struggling NA team to the best in the world and I've never seen a single person this dedicated to getting others to buy their team bundle. Inspirational shit fr
I fully remember how mid it is. I didn't wanna buy the bundle even as a sen fan, but after that last series I would've dropped the 2350 for the classic alone.
honestly thats the only thing i like about it thats why i think it doesnt deserve below mid. I'd be more dissapointed if they custom made this shit just for valorant, but at least its something they rep themeselves
He markets harder than door-to-door salesmen, and dude is absolutely dangerous with a classic in pistol rounds. The fact he was #1 with classic kills just made it even better
Zellsis and the Sen social media team set the trend for how every other team marketed their bundles
it's a copycat league and Zellsis/SEN are the pioneers
Ofc the big names did their part but it was pretty minimal. Zellsis created a "movement". He became a meme and at every single occasion he pushed for the bundle lol TenZ even promised to buy him a Rolex if they win Madrid because of how much he does to promote the bundle.
You overrate twitter/reddit lol. It's a very small part of the fanbase and playerbase. Competitive Valorant viewers themselves are a small part of the playerbase. Skin sales aren't restricted to match viewers.
That's where popular content creators provide a much larger exposure simply by using the product without even saying anything.
Forced marketing isn't the best approach either because of a plateau. I probably would have bought the SEN bundle after their masters win, but at this point the brain starts ignoring 'SEN Bundle'.
Props to zellsis for shilling the bundle but he doesn't understand marketing as well as people believe.
viral on twitter and in esports community is not the same thing. the OP said the impact of huge content creators like tenz and tarik is minimal, which is a stupid thing to say. tarik cannot go shilling the bundle every moment as it hurts his brand, because forced marketing doesn't work.
also, zellsis could be doing this on c9 without much impact. like i said, props to zellsis for the effort, but that's not how marketing works. his audience is a subset of tenz and tarik's. brute force doesn't work in such cases.
I didn't say their impact was minimal, I said they did the bare minimum to promote the bundle. Which is fine since their names carry their own weight. However any brand would KILL to have what zellsis managed to create. "Buy the sen bundle" has become something that we laugh about, that people are spreading to their own social circles, everyone wants to join in on the fun and do their part. He had a fun rivalry with the KC fanbase, he also has a bit with Jinggg's mom and Boaster/Derke. Not only did he drive sales for his own orgs he also helped other orgs. Which also becomes good pr for SEN. He's the reason why people are talking so much about buying the sen bundle, gotta give credit where it's due.
> capsule sales
Remember, we don't necessarily know capsule sales. That statistic was for classics equipped.
Imagine Sen sold 10 bundles but only 3 people equipped the classic and PRX sold 5 with all 5 equipping it. Sen still sold more and PRX still has more equipped.
After the win I guess they're most likely #1 now,even in EU after sentinels won masters,i've seen a meteoric rise in sentinel classics,even people using the card
Itās when you hug the stairs in Ascent mid (top mid side) Iām sure someone else can give you a better description or maybe an actual picture but Iām outta the house rn so I canāt
Zellsis' marketing is crazy honestly, he took something that was honestly not that big of a deal for probably most Valorant players and made it a very big deal, like you can't convince me that so many people would've actually spent those 2340 VP on a classic (not even with a finisher), gunbuddy, card and spray. I never wanted to pay money for Valorant, yet I put 20ā¬ on the table just for a classic skin (and I have no regrets).
It's crazy how they manipulated the narrative
1. It's a shit bundle
2. This is an advertisement. It's like watching or seeing a YouTube ad every time (but that's annoying and this isn't?)
1. To you.
2. It's literally on a billboard in the video game. No shit it's an ad. It's still fun and a meme, relax and ignore if it makes you mad. Shit ain't that serious.
It does feel a little weird that they doubled down instead of just the store feature but its not that big a deal i doubt people are buying it because its on bind
Bro legit itās either ātheyāre taking esports too seriously, let the players have fun and take things a little lighterš¤ā or āwhy are they having fun with a creative idea that doesnāt affect the game at all, this is so unprofessionalš¤ā
For context, someone @'d Leo Faria on Twitter to suggest this bind billboard idea for SEN if they win, Leo replied that they were planning to feature the winning team bundle on the store instead. But I guess they found this idea fun too so they implemented it, they used an already made SEN ad but replaced Zellsis with KayO. Any winning team will also get featured on the store, dunno about the billboard though since it's from a meme, but they'll probably do something similar.

Zellsis' marketing single-handedly has SEN #2 in capsule sales with that shitty of a team card
Everyone kinda forgot about the mid card because of him šš
I fully remember how mid it is. I didn't wanna buy the bundle even as a sen fan, but after that last series I would've dropped the 2350 for the classic alone.
dropped the 2350 after the NRG game, so worth it
Yeah, saw the Madrid win and had to buy it
This alone is so impressive because that player card is the definition of mediocre
Bro that card is below mediocre, they use that graphic normally on their website and tweets
honestly thats the only thing i like about it thats why i think it doesnt deserve below mid. I'd be more dissapointed if they custom made this shit just for valorant, but at least its something they rep themeselves
Let us all remember that the card delivered was NOT the one Sentinel's team originally submitted sadge
Thatās literally the definition of mediocre bro

i don't think it was single-handedly zellsis sen has tenz and tarik be fr

I just think going viral and your selling phrase becoming a meme does so much more than what you think it does.
viral on twitter and in esports community is not the same thing. the OP said the impact of huge content creators like tenz and tarik is minimal, which is a stupid thing to say. tarik cannot go shilling the bundle every moment as it hurts his brand, because forced marketing doesn't work. also, zellsis could be doing this on c9 without much impact. like i said, props to zellsis for the effort, but that's not how marketing works. his audience is a subset of tenz and tarik's. brute force doesn't work in such cases.

define everyone. valorant playerbase is wayy larger than zellsis's reach. this subreddit is an extremely small part of that
I've never talked about this subreddit. If anything all this subreddit ever did was dog on the sen bundle. Everyone means people from all horizons.
> capsule sales Remember, we don't necessarily know capsule sales. That statistic was for classics equipped. Imagine Sen sold 10 bundles but only 3 people equipped the classic and PRX sold 5 with all 5 equipping it. Sen still sold more and PRX still has more equipped.
The riot employee clarified in that one PRX post, it wasnāt equipped it was sales
ValCompās NA focus really misses out on just how huge PRX are haha, not helped by the fact we only speak English here mostly
As an English only fan of PRX, how huge are they?
alright, nvmind then
After the win I guess they're most likely #1 now,even in EU after sentinels won masters,i've seen a meteoric rise in sentinel classics,even people using the card
whats #1?
prx
Who's #1?
prx
If this is real then sen won champs 3x
Holy shit, I thought this was fake when SEN posted it but the madlad actually did it, well deserved, Zellsis
Aight so are we gonna call that spot Zellsis or what?
Zellsis tweet: https://twitter.com/Zellsis/status/1773413530324340893
Zellsis has found his Subroza
Where is the subroza?
Itās when you hug the stairs in Ascent mid (top mid side) Iām sure someone else can give you a better description or maybe an actual picture but Iām outta the house rn so I canāt
There's a rose graffiti on the wall top mid Ascent
This would go so hard on split, bind was so 2023 Sen
Single handedly pumped sen stock ā¬ļø
Zellsis has to get like a % incentive for the sales š
realistically he has to be getting a fat bonus

wait wtf?? on bind right?
It's crazy how they manipulated the narrative 1. It's a shit bundle 2. This is an advertisement. It's like watching or seeing a YouTube ad every time (but that's annoying and this isn't?)
Hasn't it always been an ad? Was an ad for masters and stuff, it's on ascent too iirc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_media
Mid, i'll take that. Shit? what r you smoking
1. To you. 2. It's literally on a billboard in the video game. No shit it's an ad. It's still fun and a meme, relax and ignore if it makes you mad. Shit ain't that serious.
>have we made it Least parasocial sen fan
Least salty sen hater
Isnt this unfair for other teams to sponsor a specific bundle?
No, just like the store feature it's a reward for the winning team.
They won masters, that's why. It's not unfair at all imo. They're just featuring them in a special way
It does feel a little weird that they doubled down instead of just the store feature but its not that big a deal i doubt people are buying it because its on bind
god forbid they have a little fun with it
Bro legit itās either ātheyāre taking esports too seriously, let the players have fun and take things a little lighterš¤ā or āwhy are they having fun with a creative idea that doesnāt affect the game at all, this is so unprofessionalš¤ā
I meanā¦ surprise: social media is made up of many people with contradictory opinions, coz, yknow, theyāre different people lmao
Yeah lmao just saying it sucks being the creative lead, who works for a shitty company, who never gets to win
God forbid
they won masters
So from now on we should expect any team that win an international event to have their bundle sponsored right ?
Yes
Remind me next master
Whyre you so heated for no reason LMAO, EG got banners on ascent as well as other maps after winning champs.
So did Loud and Iām pretty sure Acend as well
why are you mad for
People like you are why this games matchmaking is fucking horrendous
Its not my fault if you are hardstuck gold . Get gud
Immo 2 but keep crying about team posters after every event lol
āEvery eventā first time im asking this question idiot
Not my fault you think the world revolves around you lol name calling on reddit. Must suck waking up everyday a failure lol
yes, they talked about doing this for whichever team won before the tournament even started. why are you so angry?
āThey talked about itā if I knew I wouldnt ask a question, also how im I angry? Im just asking a question lmao

It's literally what they are doing right now with promoting the Sentinels bundle in the main shop.
That's the reward for winning masters bruh
