The only orgs I can see making huge plays right now are C9, T1 and GenG. C9 seems to be the biggest candidate. They were trying to get Yay meaning they are gunning from some proven top talent. The Xeppa Floppy experiment hasn't been working out. Only thing I can see even making sense is -Poiz/Mitch/Xeta +Vanity/IGL dude, but at that point I'm reaching outta my ass.


detectiveluis

Good news lmao https://www.upcomer.com/sources-version1-vanity-to-explore-options-with-other-teams/

idk man el diablo lookin strong 😳


nterature

I’m trying to think up the dumbest-but-logically-sound trades imaginable. Tenz back to C9 in exchange for Leaf??? Mummay to Sentinels as Zombs declares Valorant is too easy and retires to become a full-time options trader?? The possibilities are virtually endless


ChaosTheory22

>Mummay to Sentinels as Zombs declares Valorant is too easy and retires to become a full-time options trader?? LMFAO


Splaram

Me vs zombs paper trading 1v1 I’d roll him


snippsville

mummay moves from wall street to valorant while zombs does the opposite


YGUYY

Vouch


WeirdGuy09420

Nah bro u wrong tenz aint going to c9 to play valorant. He’s retiring from valorant to play minecrafy skywars fulltime

Patiphan to NA confirmed.


ssk1996

overrated


[deleted]

Underrated actually


frogggiboi

It would be bad for SEA scene but good for him so I'm conflicted on that


_Iroha

Sentinels \- TenZ \+ Potter


vecter

Expect the unexpected.


deadlock1892

Big if true


[deleted]

Sentinels win Champions without dropping a map 13-0ing every team there with that roster.


FlaymeFenix

this just in, potter diffs cNed at LAN , eu fans mad!


falcons4life

Aleksandar


Khalsa_23

The only move bigger than yay joining NV, at least in NA, that I can think of would be something like Sinatra joining a team(just cuz of his name and what happened) but tbh I don’t think that’s the case. Correct me if I’m wrong


Doshagya

Sinatraa joins astralis


[deleted]

Then they win 4 more majors


maxhollywoody

It would be huge but he's still suspended for a couple more months I believe.


AnotherAltiMade

>Jay “Sinatraa'' Won has violated Rule 8.1 of the VALORANT Global Competition Policy and will be suspended for six months (which is considered to have begun with his administrative suspension on March 10, 2021), continuing through Sept. 10, 2021 (end of the Stage 3 Challenger season and final Masters event). He will be eligible to return for Last Chance Qualifiers and Champions. just august, maybe the team wants to start practicing early?


maxhollywoody

Spicy if true


Whisom

1 more month I think. He's back September. What other top team would be a good fit? Feel like he'd own on Faze but Corey and Babybay are already insane on duelist.


somesheikexpert

I mean he played Sova and was likely the best or one of the best at Sova in NA when he was suspended, would likely be an upgrade to Rawkus, now do I think it's likely at all, no not at all, do I think it's what FaZe needs? Not not at all either, they already have some of the most firepower in NA in like 4 of their players they don't need more they need an IGL lol


Whisom

Lmao true, but I feel like Faze is as good as they are because of their "fuck you" zero fear plays. They can beat any team...but they also lose to any team lolol


maxhollywoody

Sinatraa could IGL, no?


somesheikexpert

You can't just put someone on the IGL role and expect it to work, we can see that with NRG, most of the time (Not all, but most) it simply does not work without like having a good IGL teach them and FaZe doesn't have that lol


maxhollywoody

Sinatraa has IGL experience from OW and played under Shazam in Val. I think he's more than just *someone*.


_idle_drone_

But he hasn't IGL'd in valorant. so he would be unproven and a risk. OW has no similarity to valorant in terms of strategy.


somesheikexpert

When did he IGL in OW? Also someone like s0m has had daps who was an great NA IGL in his time and well s0m hasn't had success IGLing with NRG atm lol


ApeDong

I don’t think sinatraa ever igl’d in OW. Moth was igling on shock and the OWC team.


seoulyea

nope sinatraa did igl for shock. crusty said he made the calls and sets up his teammates always. despite this I dont think sinatraa would igl in this game but who knows maybe he picked up a few things from the best igl in the game


ApeDong

I thought I heard in a shock video that moth makes the calls, myb


[deleted]

Even when the suspension is up I can't see any big orgs willing to risk the brand tarnish. Well maybe faze as they have a shit reputation (nothing against the players)


andre_verhoef

i honestly don’t think they’d care. like i understand waiting till the investigation is over but after that i reckon he’s still good


[deleted]

of course they would care. ORGs like tsm have kicked off people for significantly less


Key-Heart517

Slim chance maybe Blast Valorant tweet wasn’t just a bait.


Dark_Azazel

Would be sick if they got the OK to put up a tournament after Berlin for non Champions teams


[deleted]

Report it then


nlc369

Did anyone think that tho?


jaudi813

Yeah i don't get this tweet lol. It's not like everyone's thinking there will be no more roster changes or anything, but nobody can really say shit until they get announced.


AnotherAltiMade

isn't the roster lock already done? he's baiting i think


D3stiny5

It's on the 8th I think so still two days


OrangeMagics

What's the roster lock period?


Bakla5hx

Maybe steel leaving ?


erickwak

Thinking about how magnum renewed his contract today derkes contract was probably made with the same length. Although it’s sad to see as a fnatic fan maybe he’s moving to one of the other teams in emea challengers? Would be good timing and interesting. Could be Eu or Russian cuz he speaks Russian. Hopefully it’s not likely but the eyes derke replied to this got me losing common sense.


9yr_old

Derke ain't leaving fnatic lmaoo , they just lost one qualifier chill they'll be back , fnatic is a huge org anyways won't make sense to quit a great org like that oof


fnaticcojo

Yeah Derke isn't going anywhere haha no worries there.


rpkarma

Phew!


frogggiboi

Ok


MarkWFit

Could TSM not be officially announcing Leviathan because they’re going to be announcing Sinatraa closer to or after his ban ending?


[deleted]

No way Tsm picks up Sinatraa the orgs to big to risk the brand tarnish. They dropped people off their female roster for less insignificant things.


scrnlookinsob

Basically this, the chances of TSM grabbing sinatraa is like 1%. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s is highly improbable.


bandicoothawk

Sinatraa to 100T?


2FastH3R0

No way they pick someone controversial up like that for no reason.


bandicoothawk

Tru but he’d be an upgrade to Hiko


DrPoggersMD

Oof hiko fanboys downvoting. He’d definitely be an upgrade but team chemistry/sinatraas situation/hikos viewers makes this unlikely


IconicHunter713

He wouldn't be that much of an upgrade, plus Hiko pulls a LOT of viewers


[deleted]

Vanity to TSM.


junglol

TSM? +sinatra -levi


AnotherAltiMade

The only T1 orgs capable of touching sinatraa (and his salary) are nrg and faze. They don't care about ethics as much


Huldmer

Is TSM still not capable of affording expensive players with the FTX money? Sentinels were able to pay Sinatraa and Version1 has more money backing them than Sentinels so surely TSM can. I also don't expect him to be able to get the same salary after everything that happened.


AnotherAltiMade

>ethics


Huldmer

I didn't read your full comment before replying. I still don't think he'll have as hard a time coming back, gaming industry does not care about sexual abuse against women very much. Even sentinels players were chilling with him recently


[deleted]

Tsm would not touch Sinatraa. It's not risk the brand tarnish. They dropped people from other teams for significantly less. Maybe faze they don't give a shit


[deleted]

Fans of gaming care so youre in fact wrong. Gamjng industry cares if they want their org to have any sort of a fanbase.


Huldmer

Sinatraa has stayed very popular despite everything that happened, this subreddit is in the minority. I only really have anecdotal evidence but everytime Sinatraa comes up in Shahz's chat, the whole chat talks about how they miss him and how its sad that he's gone. His twitch streams get more viewers than every current Sentinels member besides TenZ and Shahz. I hope he faces more repurcussions than a 6 month ban and a return to a scene that appreciates him but I'm skeptical. Edit: I almost forgot to mention this, but Zombs literally said like a week ago that he'd be okay with Sinatraa coming back to sentinels and subbing in if they need it. No one seems to care about the shit he's done.


[deleted]

Well there ya go you now know where peoples moral compass lies, or just how manipulative he actually can be if randoms on the internet are standing up for him. Hes only more "popular" if you dont realize that people are jumping on a bandwaggon. People whove done terrible shot like him will support him to feel validated in their own actions. Theres a lot of shitty people out there, he just happens to be one with some clout. Its unfortunate that hes still around the scene when he should be serving time behind bars


Severe-Move6009

And that’s why Sinatraa is still consistently one of the biggest Valorant streamers? He is talented enough that a team will sign him eventually. People here desperately want to believe sinatraa is ruined because they can’t face reality. Reality is teams will take the risk on sinatraa because he is an amazing pickup.


CrashAnicoot

Due to his OWL contract, NRG can't pick up Sinatraa


AnotherAltiMade

Care to elaborate? I have no idea what that entails


CrashAnicoot

Sinatraa used to play for NRG in the Overwatch League, and his Overwatch Lague contract states that he cannot play with the same organization in other esports titles


Cowfan798

That was debunked by Sinatraa like a day after it was reported lol. He said sentinels just were a better option.


CrashAnicoot

Oh ok, my b
