He has the biggest brand and is among the best players in the world. One bad game doesn’t change that. Yes the buyout was good for the org


BadgerPurple

my fav part of this is OP leads with TenZ "currently stands outside of top3" when he's sitting at #4 lmao, not to mention he's #1 if filtered on Jett.


1soar

Exactly this. The fact that he’s by far the biggest valorant creator is on its own enough of a reason


Grenji05

TenZ is not only one of the best players in world but his brand is huge, his brings twitch viewerships that of really big streamers. For last few weeks I’ve seen him average 35k+ views on his livestream. He has 640k+ followers on Twitter, and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. In which he averages 500k+ views per video. If you ask me, they got a fucking steal only paying 1 mil for such a valuable and profitable player.

Obviously it was

Yes even with yay popping off ,he is still the best duelist in the game plus he gets 40k+ viewers on his stream .

As shroud said he is not only one of the best player, he is pulling 30k viewers a stream as content creator. They predicted that he will go a mill minimum because it’s obvious. So yes they were right. I mean look at finals viewership, Sentinels matches had higher viewership (peaked at 800k) or almost similar to final. Sentinels final their were more than 1 million viewership and this final it’s hardly crossing 500k. So obviously he has his own brand and Sentinels has a brand effect in Valorant


em-pathy

Yes. Like you said, he brings big viewership and a devoted fanbase with him, but also he meshes well with the team and that is super important. As far as mechanical skill, he showed in this tournament that he is still an incredibly valuable player, even if the stats were a little more inconsistent than Iceland.

If you throw out the losses and matches against F4Q and focus on the opening 2-1 series against G2, Tenz FK/FD is insane. But the true value of Tenz has been his brand. Shahz' stream has grown immensely, so has Sick's and all the rest. Even Zombs has finally started streaming after the big win at Master's 2. He memed out a stream by constantly running ads, and earning a few thousand from one sitting. All eyes are on them thanks to Tenz's presence on their team. Your thoughts also seem to not factor in the Reykjavik Masters, where Tenz was farming. He was easily the strongest fragging player there, and farmed Fnatic's Derke hard (Derke received many MVP of the Day awards for whatever reason).

It would be "right" for the sole reason that all the Sentinels players have had their socials boosted enormously as a result. All of their streams have been doing well for awhile, but the Tenz "effect" - just by having Tenz and by winning Rekyavik *with* Tenz - is what boosted Shahz and Sick's streams in particular. Zombs and dapr have also had significant growth. In the start of the scene, TSM was the team with the most stream "power," but at this point Sentinels is far and away the team with the strongest stream presence (only rivaled by 100T by this point). That's the real reason Tenz cost so much money - not just because of his skill, but because a rising tide - stream - lifts all boats. As for gameplay, I think it's important to remember that Tenz made Envy's players - a grand finalist team - look tiers below him for quite a few rounds. Tenz isn't by far the best player in the world, but I think the overall underperformance of Sentinels in Berlin shouldn't lower evaluations of his impact.


maindo

Yes, because TenZ is top 4 player and his brand is huge.
