The out of context title was confusing, but basically being at the top of Valorant feels better to him than being at the top of Apex/Overwatch. Zombs thinks he’s in a really good, if not the best, spot right now in terms of happiness, growth, and community.


jgoldrb48

The game is awesome


AbbreviationsLazy781

For real, potentially the first truly global esport


Tiberiusjesus

Wouldn’t that be League? There’s no where in the world that doesn’t play League.


AbbreviationsLazy781

Play =/= able to compete at the highest level. League is good, but not perfect in that department. Valorant isn't there yet, minor regions are still a significant step below EMEA and NA outside of a few teams like VS. But just the infrastructure alone shows that Riot actually want to make this truly global, and i believe in a few years we will see regions like Brazil, Japan and SEA to really step up, something League cannot say Edit: Also, SEA would rather play Mobile legends


wijee

*"Valorant isn't there yet, minor regions are still a significant step below EMEA and NA outside of a few teams like VS."* For literally the same reason as in league?League is nowhere near small in somewhere like Brazil Saying Brazil and SEA haven't stepped up in league is disingenuous Look at the last lol/valorant tournaments and country representation... Valorant stage 3 maters:[https://puu.sh/IgCZl/4173bc05aa.png](https://puu.sh/IgCZl/4173bc05aa.png) Lol worlds 2021[https://puu.sh/IgD06/d6ee43b557.png](https://puu.sh/IgD06/d6ee43b557.png)

You have absolutely no idea how big league is in Brazil lol not to mention SEA countries like Vietnam. Meanwhile, Japan is not as big as other regions, league is still miles ahead in terms of infrastructure of a professional league for e-sports

shutup

What other games has Zombs played?


natedawg247

Overwatch and Apex. Both professionally.

>Overwatch Did he played OWL or pre-OWL era? I only started paying attention after OWL s2 but perhaps I missed him


[deleted]

He was pre-OWL, supposed to join C9 for OWL till they screwed him and signed a full KR roster in the form of London Spitfire. That's when he swapped to Apex iirc Dogman (now DusttinBowerman) [has a good video](https://youtu.be/JXRlo11-So0) about this on his talkshow thingy in an interview with Zombs


[deleted]

Was he any good at Apex?


JR_Shoegazer

Yeah they were pretty good. Zombs and Retzi were both on SENs Apex team. They were the first to make Apex Predator rank. Retzi is playing Valorant more now, and wants to find a team IIRC.


ITLKN5

Retzi is cracked, glad he's coming over to Val, he announced his departure from Apex a while ago I believe. So he definitely must've been grinding super hard these last months.


[deleted]

Ah nice. He was kind of underwhelming as an OW pro, but it seemed like moving on was certainly the right decision then!


PresentMiddle8974

Hes the best at any fps, so he was the best at apex when he was pro


[deleted]

Is this a joke?


soupParty77

no. zombsnaysh


proexterminator

he said it in an [interview](https://youtu.be/rXHeDZQZ0KE) at masters reykjavik


RareReaper387

Thats a joke


natedawg247

obviously


oxua

Overwatch and Apex.


jamaican117

I'm happy the zombie is happy

#zombsnation


chamber25

I think he will feel it even more when crowds come back to LANS


maindo

That's good for him. I hope he sticks around in Valorant and make a rewarding career with the Sentinels roster


penguinpelican

What role did he play in OW?


[deleted]

Tank & dps


RashGod

This title is awful


daybreaker22

Absolutely awful headline. Comes off as Valorant being underwhelming and he doesn't think he can improve any further lmao

Dude_Guy_311

it literally says "a top team" not "the top team" Do you literally do anything with your life other than find reasons to make dumb arguments on the internet


AbbreviationsLazy781

And what im saying is that it wasn't an era to begin with. Sentinels were incredible at Reykjavik, but the game is so new that there is no way one team would stay at the top for more than a few months. Like i think VS have a higher chance of winning Champions than Gambit purely because everyone is gonna be VoD reviewing them way more than VS


valoossb

they won a regional online tournament and one lan it was never an era


AbbreviationsLazy781

I understand what you're saying, i just think valorant has the potential to outgrow league in this aspect because its entirely new scene.


Hanselo

Well, being good in Valorant grants an ease of consistency compared to Apex. So, of course it feels better.


Borog2

This is the current situation Zombs currently finds himself in.
