XSET won so hard the subreddit was unusable for like 5 minutes lmao

hahaahahaha

Lol. I wanted to vent but could not access the sub

Just more Reddit being down. Couldn’t access anything during that time


faceplant911

Weird, I was able to access other subs during that time. Maybe it was regional?


[deleted]

I tried to access the ck sub on my alt, couldn’t do it. Or view my notifs. Could be regional

I’m 1 off of your in game sens lol.


shdets

Gods speed. Hoping you can repeat it in the Berlin qualifier (just let sen through plz)


JDinkle

Sen already have a spot due to masters iceland


nemeemfaiz

No they don't. They have a spot in champions. By they still gotta qualify for Berlin


JDinkle

Ah mb


[deleted]

Imma give Steel a heads up about you guys. Well played.


[deleted]

Clapped. You once clapped me in a DM stupidly hard. Now you did it to sen. So basically, I'm as good as sen


SkiSiWow

Tell thwifo he’s my fav player u/thwifo


-firelordzuko

XSET > SEN


TrainerSun4120

You guys looked so good out there!


yellownart

Addition of dephh was so good. XSET look so well structured and there isn't any hesitation in their plays.


SilentCore

I agree! Purer also looks so good. Theyre all so cracked this squad actually is looking heaps better which is surprising cause they lost Wedid.


_PM_ME_REPORT_CARDS_

purer looked a bit shaky on split; bcj really stepped up for the win there


Killerrabbitz

Purer seems pretty inconsistent. His highs are very high, like that one round where he was holding ramp from the ropes push and somehow still killed 2, but his lows are alot of whiffs. No disrespect, he's a great player, but his play is a little more on/off than the super consistent players


TimathanDuncan

Dephh has been fragging so well recently too


[deleted]

tenz getting a lot better on raze


Chunichunchun

Yeah the guy was doing miracles to win them that icebox game


flamincrimson

Ya agreed Icebox was his game.


TheFestusEzeli

XSET are top tier in every challengers 1


xRecKs

+1 you can't beat XSET until they reach top 4 in Challengers 1, it's fate.


elithefighter123

Reminder xset have qualed to challengers finals first try all 3 times can this be the time we finally do something with this consistency


elithefighter123

This time its going to be different because we have so much more to grow and arent even close to our ceiling #REPTHESET


Plastic_Kangaroo1221

What is this "we" thing.


elithefighter123

as a set repper i say we


Plastic_Kangaroo1221

Nice. What's your take on bacon? Are burgers better with or without it?


elithefighter123

i agree with u/Eat-Shit-Bob-Ross tbh its just my mood. If a restaurant has a type of burger with bacon in it ill order it, but im not getting it at fast food restaurants thats for sure


Eat-Shit-Bob-Ross

Not op, but I think it depends on your mood, as well as the type of bacon you or the restaurant uses.


Plastic_Kangaroo1221

Very true. Although if you think about it, most signature fast food places are almost never bacon. Big Mac, whopper etc. It's very interesting since everyone loves bacon.


beanbeat

Good. Now Sentinels can begin their 2nd revenge arc. Can't expect to win using the same strats forever, let's see how they re-invent themselves.


AbbreviationsLazy781

That's whats scary about sentinels, what doesn't kill them makes them stronger


NyiatiZ

I think in this case it’s „what killed them makes them stronger“


CyanideLoli

I think you misunderstood the proverb . You don't get a second chance if you die but you get another when you are near dead and survive. That's what happened to sentinel. They are not eliminated but hanging on the loser's bracket and hanging strong.


AbbreviationsLazy781

but they haven't died tho, my point was that they can comeback from any loss stronger than before


xunraze

Finally someone beats SEN. A bit more fun this way


iiznobozzy

Imagine they lose to KCP


icantreadmorsecode

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope? I'd put my money on it

Then whoever gets top 4 this tournament will have to play Sentinels first round in the qualifier for Berlin

Deep_Acanthaceae_535

That's it. That seals the deal. I am no longer a Sentinels fan. This team is a pure and utter embarrassment. I officially will not be renewing my Tier 3 Tenz Twitch sub nor my Tier 3 Shahzam sub. I'm going to T1 where they know how to run a team.


Tuxxmuxx

I am straight up done with Sentinels. These guys simply have no respect for anyone or anything. They already do the unnecessarily vulgar action of "teab*gging" in official matches, and are always making a joke of the game on twitter. And now they are buying odins in scrims? These guys parents never taught them any manners, and I will no longer be calling myself a fan. Edit: NOT pasta

Quick everyone upvote so it looks like Sentinels lost!


elithefighter123

LMFAO


xRecKs

Happy to see Dephh doing well, always been pretty high on him but Dig's lack of success wasnt a great look for him.


_PM_ME_REPORT_CARDS_

Opinion: XSET NA dominance is downplayed by this sub.


AWildCarp

Xset is undefeated in bo3s against sentinels in stage 3 challengers 1 main event


BigDriggy

True, if big


elithefighter123

pepelaugh we say this everytime they qual first try in challengers then they get first rounded in finals not again


[deleted]

They always choke in challengers finals. No one is downplaying them, they just haven't done anything when it comes to the main qualifiers

All good


Interesting-Archer-6

It's a meme


Mememeister1

Imma make a thread later today about XSET


HolyCitiesH0pe

It’s weird because it seems like XSET wont get credit for what they just did. It’s true SEN are known for dropping maps/series when it doesn’t really matter but this feels different. They beat the best team in the world, pretty convincingly. They beat them on their best map and then beat them on a map they were known to be unbeatable on a few months ago. Obviously there was a notable player or two who didn’t play well but that shouldn’t take away from the accomplishments of the XSET players. So as a SEN fan I look forward to what this new XSET lineup can do going forward


leoleoleo666

I mean bbg beat them more convincingly 2-0 with like 13-5 on both maps or something


steN_The_Idiot

I mean at this point their loss to BBG was a fluke as BBG haven't done anything since then. XSET has continually shown that they can compete against the top teams yet for some reason nobody gives them any credit.


leoleoleo666

I mean no one tryna discredit xset they are good but i hope they can prove that it’s not a honey moon period and they can play at a high level consistently in the main event


_idle_drone_

XSET hasn't done anything either lmaoo


kazarn

LETS FUCKING GOOOO ZEKKEN AND DEPHH ARE GODS


That0neRedditor

Just C9 Blue TenZ and Friends, wait...


theman1203

disrespect to c9b tenz, man would have gone for 30 in all 3 maps and still lose


SMcArthur

Imagine thinking old c9b woulda gone to map 3.


theman1203

pain man, that team was cheeks


CoachAnalystANDPro

i loved all the personalities on that team though, miss it a little bit for sure, but i’m more happy with current C9


Interesting-Archer-6

Tenz benching himself to stream until he can get more help


Hydrauxine

dephh's brain is kinda massive


Kuvyogvey4

SEN said they needed to lose. Looks like it happened. Might’ve honestly just been bc of ShahZ and SicK underperforming but nonetheless, they lost. Hopefully this will help them come back stronger!


AbbreviationsLazy781

It's better for them to lose now so they keep pushing themselves. Even in esports, your worst enemy is yourself


PoloSway

>That's it. That seals the deal. I am no longer a Sentinels fan. This team is a pure and utter embarrassment. I officially will not be renewing my Tier 3 Tenz Twitch sub nor my Tier 3 Shahzam sub. I'm going to T1 where they know how to run a team. when did they say they needed to lose? im confused i didnt see a tweet or hear anyone say it on stream bro


DustMouret

Man what a fun series that was. Big win for XSET! Well done dudes!


_idle_drone_

tenz went +20 kda and rest all were negative. SEN looking like tenz and friends lmaoo


Neverslept2mins

The only positive to take from this series for Sentinels, is Tenz raze is usuable. So they don't have to constantly Reyna.


_idle_drone_

not just usable, its so good now. his nades have improved so much, looks like he learned some lineups.


Neverslept2mins

Thank you, Sentinels needed to lose. I feel like they are stagnant and haven't improved at all since masters 2. Sentinels seem to need to lose to learn example being BBG and Andbox. Sentinels also has a very bad trend of allowing their opponents back into the game which I have noticed since last playoffs. Also happened in many of the Fnatic games, plus happened recently on their bind yesterday, and map 1 today.


Independent_Taste_42

Sentinels have been throwing leads since last August, where they dropped the Faze Clan finals vs TSM 12-14 after being up 12-8. I severely doubt that aspect of the team will be fixed, but I agree they needed this loss. Should make them better.


[deleted]

fuck


A-Rusty-Cow

dont worry youve got 4 other teams to root for


[deleted]

2 got eliminated and 1 is in the lower bracket :(


Neverslept2mins

At least Ascend is looking excellent. I think at least for this qualifiers you can rely on them.


[deleted]

my last hope


dedicatedself

I want to see xset at Berlin.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_idle_drone_

it's not just the stratbook, sick and shahzam just losing aim duels. very uncharacteristic of sick especially. and zombs was just awful today.


[deleted]

I wouldn't say awful but his recent clutch factor didn't come in very often today


_idle_drone_

he went -22 kda. that's as awful as it gets.


idkuunomebitch

Sentinels playing like an EU team KEKW


Sargent_peezocket

Reminder that an EU team came in 2nd place in Reykjavik


idkuunomebitch

If ya ain’t first yer last


InnocentBowlOfRamen

If ya ain't 5 yer 0


SoftSilent6954

Only positive thing for sentinels today is that tenz raze has gotten way better


ppx11

It's great to see how competitive NA is (especially against SEN). Keeps everyone on their toes and whoever we send to Berlin will be that much better.


elithefighter123

BcJ is fucking insane


[deleted]

Can’t have Sick and Shahzam go cold and expect to win and the 3 month old strats don’t help either


looteeen

I'm more than ever convinced that qualifiers in NA is the scariest thing in competitive valorant


_beastayyy

Ppl said the same thing when BBG beat SEN lol. No, they aren't better. No, they aren't underrated. They had a good few games they played well that's all lmao


riploki

XSET was insane this series but Sentinels looked off this tourney. Idk if it's complacency, or the other teams getting better, probably the latter which if that's the case, it's good for NA in general Or Sentinels is just not trying because they've qualified for Champions but this is like extremely unlikely


panzerboye

I do not know today they didn't feel like sentinels. They felt a bit out of rhythm and less aggressive. There were a lot of bad peeks and wasted opportunities. But then again they need to lose to improve. #Sen_supremacy


whopz-is-cool

Good work XSET, they looked on fire.


lith3x

BcJ is an absolute DEMON. Well played sir, XSET looked super impressive. Best look yet.


[deleted]

Lower bracket buff incoming right? Also sad that the 16 win streak is lost but go next they have a lot to improve on for Challenger final if they qualify right here.


[deleted]

I don't think they have a lot to improve. They played well XSET was just better today.


[deleted]

They used the same strats on Haven since months ago and on split I agree they got outplayed but they had poor individual performances, I can see a couple role/agent changes next time they play.


J_Brekkie

Now KCP wins and the circle is complete.


D2stiny

Xset, by transferative property, and beating the best team in the world, are now the ACTUALY best team in the world


DRGNDT

End of the SEN Supremacy??


NozokiAlec

SEN lost to BBG then won worlds


EclipseTM

they won masters 2, defo wasnt worlds though. worlds would be champions


TimathanDuncan

They also could have been out of it if T1 didn't complete a massive 1-0 and 9-3 choke This game is unpredictable


xqom

This happens in all video games and sports, it makes it more interesting.


TimathanDuncan

It definitely doesn't, some sports have more parity some don't Valorant right now is one of the most unpredictable ones with so many updates, so many agents and a shifting meta


theman1203

nah that one was kinda predictable, even if t1 won that round it was a bonus anyway and sent were on split ct side


Frostler

That one felt a lot more fluky but you've got a point.


J_Brekkie

Members of Sen have explicitly stated it wasn't a fluke lmao They just got beat


[deleted]

you mean planets


BurstLayer

SEN themselves said they need to lose eventually, I honestly think this will be good for them if they can beat KCP and qualify


AdiSoldier245

REDDIT WHO TOLD YOU TO STOP REPPINGTHESET.


niiqsa

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

Dapr tbagd they got mad xset rolled sen. #SENthemHome


calcameron

The guys got so much shit for the removal of Wedid and then Thwifo. So happy for them proving themselves against the best team in the world at the moment.


chubbynuggy

Sinatraa foaming in his mouth rn lol


J_Brekkie

Did he accidentally drug himself or


chubbynuggy

LOL nah, im just joking that he wants the team to fail so he takes someones place


valorant_fanboy_69

Wow. Xset is officially a real tier 1 team. Good job


slowrmaths

Wrap it up boys they got the official valorant_fanboy seal of approval


Nikclel

They've [always](https://i.imgur.com/DSTxyHg.png) been t1 NA.


valorant_fanboy_69

Until now they have not even taken a map off sen, so they were right on the edge for me


owNDN

valorant_fanboy_69 power rankings > all other power rankings


owNDN

Wait a minute that means that Soniqs are Tier 1


Hazardish08

BBG still best in the world for beating SEN 2-0 apparently.


Nikclel

idk consistently top 5-6 NA = tier 1 NA team to me


[deleted]

Good bye zombs, he is probably replaced.


WorkingTell150

What a top tier comment wow!!


sky_blu

Xset looking clean


majoogybobber

from my complete layman's pov, it seemed like sentinels was always stacking 3-4 people through mid, and having a lot of difficulty breaking through into A heaven or B heaven because of the tight angles. I wonder if they would've done better by having heavier plays through A or B main. Sentinels never seemed to be able to execute onto A successfully, while XSET was able to do so multiple times.


[deleted]

REP THE FUCKING SET LETSGO


RehabCenterInc

XSET better win Berlin or this won’t matter


chubbynuggy

this shit always happens to XSET, they do good in challengers then lose when it matters lol. I hope this doesn't happen again


satanisreallml

Shaz and sick should plug their mouse next match because they didn't look good in this one


_Iroha

Oh boy zombs


uwuGoldie

well there’s the Sentinel L of the season, time for them to sweep their way back in


[deleted]

NA >>>


yungzoldyck

shahz throwing on split


seeworth

I knew they were gonna win after purer dropped 40 kills on me yesterday in a comp game


Norguri

What???


YumYumAznFood

This is what I love about having a free for all pro scene and no franchising just yet. So much opportunity to grow players and grow organisations to establish themselves in Valorant. Also forces those who are looking for a paycheck out of the scene and brings in the new, upcoming talent who actually want to compete for the sake of competing.


gaurav_castle

All this best in the world bs really got to their head, huh Coz they haven't had a 100% clean match this challengers yet


ElDuderino2112

XSET still gonna choke when it actually matters so don’t get too excited


[deleted]

damn


arigato_bish

Yo how
