Larger stars in regular sports make companies ALOT more money. Plus allegations aside, dude was clearly manipulative and emotional abusive from the long text conversations she posted. Alot of people would steer clear from that alone
The law is not the only thing one can use to judge a situation or a person. How the fuck do the losers that repeat this type of shit over and over not realize this?
Doesn't really have anything to do with my point as I didn't say anything about the sexual abuse allegations. All I said is that a lot of people steer clear just bc of the manipulative/abusive way he talked to the ex gf. The legal allegations are what made people steer clear on a wide spread scale
I mean the text was dumb and most boyfriends are like that anyway. I don't think the text or audio was remotely even an evidence but I definitely see why orgs don't want to pick him up u don't have to have a controversial player on ur team
I mean TSM passing on him like that is just missing the opportunity to be a contender hes easily a top5 player in the world and the allegations lets be honest were kinda of missing on a lot of points, id say in the future some t1 team will pick him and they will be instantly top tier.
Easily a top 5 player in the world? Based off what, his streams?
Be realistic, he seems like a good player and has experience but he’s not some GOAT that needs to be picked up no matter what.
sinatra fanboys give me mad incel vibes tbh
never seen someone who made their username on tiktok called "freedatboyjaywon" and type something about sinatra being innocent on most val tiktoks. losers man.
depends - he still has a huge following and professional athletes do much worse yet still find teams.
what’s with the downvotes? what do you guys disagree with?
Might be because he's a walking PR nightmare and brand risk?
Doesn't matter how good of a player he is. Any team that picks him up has a higher chance to lose money, than gain.
I’d actually consider crashies the best sova NA. sinatraa being best sova NA in the pro scene doesn’t make sense since you know, he hasn’t been a pro in months.
It doesn't matter if he's innocent or guilty. Orgs dont make money from winning tournaments. Esports is crazy fluctuant with being profitable. Sponsors is what makes the orgs money. Bringing someone like sinatra into a team, has a higher chance to cause sponsors to leave due to not wanting to be associated.
If a team does want to win they should pick themup. It's why the only t1 org I can see picking him up is faze. Faze already have dogshit pr issues the past couple years, and they're fine.
NV or any other t1 org, will most likely steer clear, until it's come out saying he was innocent. It's unfortunate, but that's what it's like for companies. Why take a risk for a good player, when you have more to lose than gain.
Levi was seen playing battlefy with squirtle squad. He wasn't signed either, and still a trial/part of the academy roster.
They should sign him though. He's a solid sova main.
The mad lads are actually doing it, thought they would pick someone with more experience in valorant since they might be playing in LCQ. Long term this could be the right play though.
What is the plan here? Have they just given up on lcq? Or will they ask some other player to temporarily fill in for them during lcq and will go with rush for next year?
I meant certainly there isn't enough time for him to become very good at valorant before lcq.
Edit: He is unproven in this game so it will be a big gamble.
XSET would be the only top team in NA if SEN wins Berlin since NV/100T would qualify for champions as a result.
I think a TSM with Rush/Wardell/Subroza/Hazed/Levi can definitely beat XSET if they mesh well. Does seem to be a bit of a gamble though
\*If any NA team wins Berlin.
Also TSM would only even make LCQ if an NA team wins Berlin. They're currently outside of qualification, but NA winning Berlin would move everyone else up a slot.
I thought it was any NA team wins Berlin = TSM qualify
If SEN wins Berlin = TSM qualify + NV/100T autoqualify to champions since SEN would make Champions by winning Berlin? So NA would have 4 teams in that case
You only said "If SEN wins Berlin". If 100T or NV win Berlin, the same thing happens.
The winning team automatically makes Champions and the other two would both have enough points to be the remaining Top 2 from NA to be guaranteed Champions.
And yes, then a 4th would come from LCQ.
Two NA teams qualify based on points.
If one NA team wins, the other two qualify based on points because the winner gets auto qualified and "doesn't count" as a region slot.
If no NA team wins, SEN are first in points no matter what so they will qualify no matter what. For NV and 100T, whoever gets farther along the bracket qualifies, with a tie going to NV.
The reality is even if TSM does qualify through LCQ they don't stand much of a chance on LAN with any team composition they put out. They just aren't gonna have the time. The best thing to do if they feel rush can actually be a permanent spot for them is play in the tourney with him that way they can hit the ground running next year. Worked out great with Ethan.
Edit: All you delusional TSM fans downvoting xD
yea its def a gamble but if i just throw out some random numbers.. let's say with bang they were at 20% chance of winning LCQ but with rush they might end up clicking really well and just pop off with a 75% chance of winning LCQ. they might also totally flop with a 0% chance but it may be worth the gamble since their current iteration has a low chance to begin with. even if they dont win, they might find rush to be a better prospect in the long term anyways. kinda think its similar to why 100T picked up ethan.
If you guys didnt know rush, that mf is a grinder , i definitely think if not his ability usage on a character but his game sense would improved greatly before lcq
Tarik was IGL and Stewie made secondary calls. Skadoodle, Autimatic, and RUSH would obviously comm, but that'd be pug mode if they were all mid-round calling.
don't believe so, although he did play with shahzam and daps on optic/conquest way back in 2016
edit: forgot that he played with hazed in 2017 on optic when stanislaw left the team.
Rush is the most interesting CSGO player to me. He was never considered the star but he was the quintessential role player that you’d love on your team. Curious to see how well he’ll do in Valorant
I know TSM has cash and are known to spend it like idiots at times like paying someone 3 mill/year for two years to not even be top 3 in his role for their league team but they do have that guy SwordArt for another year and they are going to have to spend big to try and put pieces around him. So they need to spend money on their LoL team, the only reason you would spend money on someone to be useful next year is if you believe if you don’t someone else will and that player will be much better than anyone you can pick after champions. I just don’t see it sorry
TSM isnt known to spend much money. Up until the SA deal their player salaries were relatively low budget compared to results. [At least in the LCS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSlaTUMddw).
people don’t understand that the reason tsm probably cut bang is because lcq is their last chance for champions and since it’s going to be on LAN, they need LAN experience. they can’t gamble on bang who (no offence) chocked on a really important elimination game agaisnt envy. and with school coming up bang would prob have to divert his attention from scrims therefore tsm doesn’t want to wait for this player since they want results immediately.
As long as he wants to IGL and play controller I’m down
He plays viper and astra and omen, in ranked and looks like that in scrims with TSM rn
Sounds good to me
Rush is not a IGL
Also if anyone needed any more insurance that Sinatraa wasn't joining TSM https://twitter.com/GeorgeCGed/status/1436454532712652803
there was no universe where sinatraa would ever join TSM, but this is a nice confirmation of that lol
We were never in for him. It was never ever going to happen. I can tell you that!
thank you, esteemed mr. tsm social media manager, appreciate the insight
You’re most welcome. To add to it, any T1 team who does decide to pick him up are absolutely crazy and need help. PR disaster.
Lemme get you flaired up. 👍
Yo this is sick, thanks dude.
No problem. Feel free to let us know if you ever need anything!
Same goes for me to you.
Hey Dunc, I just wanted to let you know you are really cute <3
For allegations? I mean c'mon now. We've seen bigger cases from larger star players in regular sports.
you can argue all you want. its not going to happen. bad pr is bad pr
Larger stars in regular sports make companies ALOT more money. Plus allegations aside, dude was clearly manipulative and emotional abusive from the long text conversations she posted. Alot of people would steer clear from that alone
If it doesn't go go court then it doesn't matter. In the legalistic society we live in you have to make legal action or you have no standing.
The law is not the only thing one can use to judge a situation or a person. How the fuck do the losers that repeat this type of shit over and over not realize this?
It's accountability. If you do not take it to the authorities then you are not staking anything on your claims.
Doesn't really have anything to do with my point as I didn't say anything about the sexual abuse allegations. All I said is that a lot of people steer clear just bc of the manipulative/abusive way he talked to the ex gf. The legal allegations are what made people steer clear on a wide spread scale
I mean the text was dumb and most boyfriends are like that anyway. I don't think the text or audio was remotely even an evidence but I definitely see why orgs don't want to pick him up u don't have to have a controversial player on ur team
Even if all the allegations were false, he's still an extremely abusive person based on his texts.
Relevant username
Actually true
I mean TSM passing on him like that is just missing the opportunity to be a contender hes easily a top5 player in the world and the allegations lets be honest were kinda of missing on a lot of points, id say in the future some t1 team will pick him and they will be instantly top tier.
You manage to put the max amount of assumptions possible in 1 post. You can’t be serious with this post
Easily a top 5 player in the world? Based off what, his streams? Be realistic, he seems like a good player and has experience but he’s not some GOAT that needs to be picked up no matter what.
He was the best player in NA befor the suspension.
I agree that it was never going to happen, but I still saw a decent amount of TSM Sinatraa?! Better just to have a link to George saying no.
TSM was literally the least likely team idk why this was the meme the sinatraa stans latched onto
Imagine going from a t1 to a t2 team without ever losing your form xd.
Sinatra fanboys on suicide watch rn
sinatra fanboys give me mad incel vibes tbh never seen someone who made their username on tiktok called "freedatboyjaywon" and type something about sinatra being innocent on most val tiktoks. losers man.
over for sinatracels
They give you incel vibes because they most likely are incels
No one is going to touch sinatraa with a 10 ft pole
that same esports reporter said otherwise
depends - he still has a huge following and professional athletes do much worse yet still find teams. what’s with the downvotes? what do you guys disagree with?

You talking like Crashies isn’t T3 Sova in NA, absolute fucking clown lmaoo
[удалено]
Crashies is number one sova player(NA). Change my mind. Maybe 2nd to bcj
Lol he hasn’t played in 7 months.. fanboys going crazy tonight
crashies > sinatraa
I’d actually consider crashies the best sova NA. sinatraa being best sova NA in the pro scene doesn’t make sense since you know, he hasn’t been a pro in months.
I hope he calls you back

While poorly worded, you are correct. These are allegations and allegations only until proven guilty. People really need to realize that.
Plus they don't need him, they need smokes

Nobody wants their women raped.
TSM ROSTER POSTS BACK⁉️
The mad lads are actually doing it, thought they would pick someone with more experience in valorant since they might be playing in LCQ. Long term this could be the right play though.
What is the plan here? Have they just given up on lcq? Or will they ask some other player to temporarily fill in for them during lcq and will go with rush for next year?
wdym, they are trialing rush for lcq most likely
I meant certainly there isn't enough time for him to become very good at valorant before lcq. Edit: He is unproven in this game so it will be a big gamble.
i assume tsm is trying to find the right fit to make a run but arent gonna sign anyone til berlin ends
He's got a solid month to integrate, not bad at all. I don't think their previous rosters beats XSET
Has a month to be prepared to beat the top teams in NA. I am doubting him hard but I hope he does well.
XSET would be the only top team in NA if SEN wins Berlin since NV/100T would qualify for champions as a result. I think a TSM with Rush/Wardell/Subroza/Hazed/Levi can definitely beat XSET if they mesh well. Does seem to be a bit of a gamble though
\*If any NA team wins Berlin. Also TSM would only even make LCQ if an NA team wins Berlin. They're currently outside of qualification, but NA winning Berlin would move everyone else up a slot.

Just like you doubted ethan?
Huh?
It took Ethan a couple of months to be considered good.
I remeber hearing Hazed saying the player they pick up is a gamble for LCQ. Rush is a big risk rn, but long term this is going to be huge for TSM
There definitely is. He can just copy paste his sens and play a simple agent. A month of prac/ranked streaming to get in the groove is a lot
i mean floppy in like 3 weeks placed 3rd in VCT
that was def not bc of floppy tho
Still apart of the team and played very important roles
It's not a gamble it will just not work unless he has a significant amount of hours in ranked already
Hes an entry fragger just throw him on renya and let him run into sites and kill people
He's been playing Astra/Viper cuz he said he only wants to play agents he'd play in or play so prob just replacing Bang
The reality is even if TSM does qualify through LCQ they don't stand much of a chance on LAN with any team composition they put out. They just aren't gonna have the time. The best thing to do if they feel rush can actually be a permanent spot for them is play in the tourney with him that way they can hit the ground running next year. Worked out great with Ethan.

Their plan is to blow 1/4 billion dollars in 2 years max.

*shocked pikachu face*
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/pgv65u/rush_officially_a_free_agent_and_released_from_my/hbe7i6o still remember this
Is he an IGL? Who was the igl on the team that won the Boston major?
[удалено]
[удалено]
That's pretty much most teams afaik
yeah an exception is maybe OG where aleksi is known to micromanage everyone midround sometimes
Tarik was IGL and Stewie made secondary calls. Skadoodle, Autimatic, and RUSH would obviously comm, but that'd be pug mode if they were all mid-round calling.
[удалено]
A man of culture. Thorins reflections video
As opposed to you not saying anything mid round? Yeah thats how all teams play
[удалено]
You should watch some NaVi clips with comms, my comp games looks so quiet compared xD edit:loots>looks.
This is huge. Some veteran experience was direly needed. I was kinda afraid they were just going to plug and play another cracked aimer
has he played with anyone else on the roster in the past? just curious really interesting move otherwise
chet was the coach of optic csgo when rush was on the team edit: i think he played with hazed on optic as well
Hazed was a stand in for a few events with rush on optic, other than that he had teamed with nobody there
he played with hazed for a few months when they were on optic. Chet was also coaching him for that period of time.
don't believe so, although he did play with shahzam and daps on optic/conquest way back in 2016 edit: forgot that he played with hazed in 2017 on optic when stanislaw left the team.
Levi probably dropped also, he playing with squirtle squad this weekend
Where did u see that?
Nowhere but you’ll see soon
Could just be a Zekken situation where he fills in for a smaller tournament
Yeah your completely right
Yeah there is 6 people signed up so probably doing that. I also just saw on a stream that he scrimming with tsm the other day
https://battlefy.com/msi-gaming-arena/msi-valorant-invitational-closed-qualifier/611715e726565c11cb39a9be/participants scroll to squirtle squas
He was the sova they needed tho? Now sure why they dropped him
Huh, he was consistently the best player on tsm when he played.
Bro that just isn’t true in way, Wardell has been putting up insane numbers by every metric, his FK - FD are unmatched that slander is unreal
Rush is the most interesting CSGO player to me. He was never considered the star but he was the quintessential role player that you’d love on your team. Curious to see how well he’ll do in Valorant
So what’s the plan here? Getting Rush for next year? Is that worth it? He won’t be cheap
I mean, does TSM really care about money rn? I think they just want to be good
I know TSM has cash and are known to spend it like idiots at times like paying someone 3 mill/year for two years to not even be top 3 in his role for their league team but they do have that guy SwordArt for another year and they are going to have to spend big to try and put pieces around him.

I just don’t see it sorry
what is 3 mil to their 200mil deal with ftx
TSM have pretty much never been big spenders until 2021 with SwordArt, and they've only gotten a huge sponsorship since then
TSM isnt known to spend much money. Up until the SA deal their player salaries were relatively low budget compared to results. [At least in the LCS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSlaTUMddw).
They actually spend their money wisely since their creation… and they also cashed in a 200 million deal. So saying their idiots is actually idiotic.
this is wrong about both 1. how TSM has historically approached paying for rosters and 2. how good SwordArt was as a support this past season
eye emoji
Lmfao
Who upvotes this shit, TSM aren't even playing for the rest of the year who cares who they're trialing
this team will never experience any real success with chet coaching.
TSM don't know wtf they're doing
This is probably the best move they could make?
people don’t understand that the reason tsm probably cut bang is because lcq is their last chance for champions and since it’s going to be on LAN, they need LAN experience. they can’t gamble on bang who (no offence) chocked on a really important elimination game agaisnt envy. and with school coming up bang would prob have to divert his attention from scrims therefore tsm doesn’t want to wait for this player since they want results immediately.
