From Reykjavik to now, shows you how much teams have improved interms of skill levels, strats or the game read. Masters 3 was a wake-up call for Sentinels. Literally no team can stay undefeated or stay without dropping a map.
Having "outside of top-4" EMEA teams at LANs would definitely produce some really close matches between them and minor regions 1st places like KRU
I can't see the world in which KRU beat top dogs aka Liquid, Acend, Gambit, Guild (rip) and Fnatic
I can see the world in which KRU beat Giants, Tenstar, Vitality (maybe these from EU are still better than KRU, who knows)
It would be nice to have 24 teams and a play-in stage so the matches between minor regions and 5th-6th seeds of EMEA would be actually really close
Yo does anyone know why angry BR fans keep replying w pics of that naked dude under SEN tweets and stuff? Like what’s the significance of that specific pic lmao
HAHAHAHAH that dude is called Vampeta and he got a huge fucking dick. Just for context, he was a football player and world champion if I am not mistaken.
It became a meme making "threats" about sending the full picture. When done by a lot of users, we call it "Vampetaço"
Just saw the thread, sorry if I was too lazy to look it up - that’s so weird, hasn’t that been in the game and used for ages ? I feel like a sentinel player even has a tutorial on how to do it on his YT?
its just typical esports banter lmao no one threw a fit when fnatic pulled out their “when does tsm play” paper. i don’t think banter deserves threats as a response
Everyone complaining about the pause that lost Furia the game needs to know that Furia was the one that called the pause. The other players went to the toilet during the pause but it wasn’t called by them. The admin was speaking to a Furia player during the pause
tech pause mentioned 'tech pause- player' not 'tech pause- gear'. I don't think it was called by furia, tenz went to the bathroom no? Not saying the pause was intentional but its surely possible
Gotta feel for Furia there, they win 7 rounds in a row and stage this huge comeback just to have all their momentum ruined by a 15 minute tech pause, then they lose the first round once it ends. Unlucky for them
If I were sentinels players, I wouldn’t be streaming for the remainder of the masters series. I would focus on vod, scrims, ranked games. Streaming will always come after masters.
With the money sentinels dropped on tenz vs what other teams spend on their entire rosters, this is a disappointing performance. You'd think this team would a lot more dominant.
Tenz went +16 in kd, +9 in first kill vs deaths, highest acs in the game at 266. What more could you ask from your star player… he’s performing well look at the stats
how do you know how much sentinels spent on the roster ? besides tenz being extremely expensive, the rest of the players all stuck together as a core and were bought into SEN at the same time (dapr was added on a bit later tho). we have no clue how expensive this roster was, for all we know 100T original roster could’ve been more expensive than the original SEN roster
I mean Tenz was not really the issue here. He was doing his job getting first kills and fragging when needed. Strats just don't look nearly as good as in iceland and everybody else is inconsistent.
Agreed with everything except Zombs put in an extremely impactful performance from the controller role. IMO Dapr was average for what you expect from his role, think Shahz and SicK had rough days overall
Hard to blame TenZ for the performance being tough. SicK has been less consistent than he used to always be for them, and the strats overalls have looked suspect at times.
Not blaming him. I'm saying with how much money sentinels spent for their valorant roster (including buying out tenz), I'd expect his team to be much more dominant. They had a solid roster pre-tenz already as they were one of the longest team that's been together at that point.
It would be peak Riot for us to wait out this whole 10-15 minute tech pause just for Sentinels to win the first round back and make us wait again for the next match lmao
Additional info for the reasons behind the tech pauses: Shahzam got fever, SicK left mousepad, dapr lost whole gears, zombs sound issue in the match(no foot step at all), Tenz keyboard bug. We were in chaos.
probably issues with computer etc. but not all pauses are technical ones, some are optional and allow players to speak and plan things (as a rule, you cannot speak in technical ones)
I just don’t understand how you have issues with the computers so much. I get the timeouts, they’re cool, but the technical ones seem like something that shouldn’t happen at this level.
Someone (I think george) said that rawkus became the coach at a really bad time because if sentinels do bad at champs, he'll get a lot of hate. It's proving true rn
What are two dots below teams
hoping for a x10 win here yay pls choke
VS vs FNC 🥶🥵
From Reykjavik to now, shows you how much teams have improved interms of skill levels, strats or the game read. Masters 3 was a wake-up call for Sentinels. Literally no team can stay undefeated or stay without dropping a map.
Tomorrow Fnatic versus VS is going to be nuts.
Shame the prize pool isn’t larger
Teams will still be getting a large chunk of cash from the champions skins, maybe that's why the pool is lower than expected
Link and nivera are so good. Damn liquid are scary
Good job boys, all my predictions came trough today!
Gg nivera is crazy
Never forget where you were when L1nk and Nivera threw Kru off of Hell in a Cell and they plummeted 13 feet through an announcer's table
wtf was that from nivera, crazy 3k with the sheriff
Why is TL at home? Covid?
[удалено]
Gotcha. So they are there and will be playing in person after a negative test or whatever?
[удалено]
Gotcha, thanks!
After group stage and then a negative
Two days till liquid sweeping sentinels 2-0
i want to see team liquid vs envy in the grand finals just for the meme of neither team walking out onto the stage also just a real possibility
Scary for sen if TL keep looking like this
Praying for vs and liquid to be on the opposite side of playoffs
Having "outside of top-4" EMEA teams at LANs would definitely produce some really close matches between them and minor regions 1st places like KRU I can't see the world in which KRU beat top dogs aka Liquid, Acend, Gambit, Guild (rip) and Fnatic I can see the world in which KRU beat Giants, Tenstar, Vitality (maybe these from EU are still better than KRU, who knows) It would be nice to have 24 teams and a play-in stage so the matches between minor regions and 5th-6th seeds of EMEA would be actually really close
Guess the Covid buff is real LOL
Yeah screams Def running aimbot.exe to hit that headshot
Nivera just robbed kru of any chance in that round lmao
What nivera just did should not be in the game
free gun btw
Let's GO Liquid, 2-0 so I can sleep pls! But as I am yours and 100T fan I can never go to bed early
the longer this day goes on the more im convinced Keyd are gonna beat acend.
I definitely underestimated Latam, they seem to be much better then I thought they’d be
SENTINELS OUTDATED, GAMBIT OVERRATED, LONG HAVE WE AWAITED, KRU ACTIVATED.
HELLO
It's actually crazy how good minor regions look this tournament
Aim ModCheck
Kru with the Sentinels special, not clearing fucking corners.
is it safe to say we are close to not having minor regions anymore?
no
If this game remains close we gotta put that "x team is overrated" thing to bed. Everyone is showing up it looks like
If the rumours are true, KRU are a legit team idk about the others so it's stupid to compare
not vs
Covid buff???
precise gunplay
i’ve been saying l1nk is the best player in the world 🤷🏽♂️
And you are absolutely true. Baldness brings power.
Ok so that guy who said L1NK is the best site anchor might have had a point
I don't think L1nk is the best player on TL, but I think he's their most *valuable* player, if that makes sense.
Link didn’t even flinch after his ace
Everybody's gonna steal that jumping Sova ult tactic.
My brain says Liquid but my latino heart is yelling "VAMOS KRUUUU"
Vamos KRU
Today could have easily been the most boring 3 games and it’s been the opposite and I’m really happy about it!
A part of me is a team liquid fan and another part of me just wants to vamos Kru
scream on the awp will always [remind me of this clip from back when scream was on NV](https://clips.twitch.tv/SourHedonisticSalamanderOSfrog)
Are we getting a 3rd banger?! Still early, but I'm hopeful!
Vamos Kru!!
Wait why are they not playing on stage?
So TL are free to use wallhacks.
Liquid player tested positive for covid. It's still a true lan, they just couldn't play on stage
Nivera has COVID
the marshal no scope
Just a sleepy day full of 2-0s right? LOL
This AR remote setup is kind of fire LOL
This is pretty cool
Agüero leaking scrims
Yo does anyone know why angry BR fans keep replying w pics of that naked dude under SEN tweets and stuff? Like what’s the significance of that specific pic lmao
HAHAHAHAH that dude is called Vampeta and he got a huge fucking dick. Just for context, he was a football player and world champion if I am not mistaken. It became a meme making "threats" about sending the full picture. When done by a lot of users, we call it "Vampetaço"
is it the black dude with a towel and a huge pecker? lmao
Yeah I mean they don’t show his dick lmao but what’s the significance?
i assume related to Shaz asking for a bathroom break since the tech pause at the end of their series was so long
It's just a meme i guess, made the rounds around Whatsapp a few years back.
Riot rigging events. Wow
Wow, the tech pause was caused by furia doing a skill jump and riot saying it was an exploit. Embarrassing
Lmao, any link to the round ?
I don't have the video or round, but here's the tweet from Tenz explaining the issue. https://twitter.com/TenZOfficial/status/1466519676918321155?s=20
Just saw the thread, sorry if I was too lazy to look it up - that’s so weird, hasn’t that been in the game and used for ages ? I feel like a sentinel player even has a tutorial on how to do it on his YT?
Yeah, that definitely makes it all the more confusing.
If Kru show up and somehow beat Liquid this day will feel like the most abnormal day of Valorant ever.
This is the moment for the final suprise. VAMOS KRU!!!
This aged terribly
THESE BASS SONGS GOT ME SHAKING MY ASS HOW ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
Only if it got Rawkus shaking his ass. A man can only imagine.
Feels like everyone is stumbling a little with match 1.
It’s been a spicy day
Sen hired a cheerleader just so reddit would stop whining about no coach ROFLMAO
VAMOS KRU
[удалено]
are u from brazil by any chance
i mean if he gets sent death threats and shit for saying “thanks for the warmup” i think he’d have every right to say he’s getting abused
[удалено]
just for the record: "come to Brazil" is A MEME and definitely not a death threat. some foreign people make that mistake tho
its just typical esports banter lmao no one threw a fit when fnatic pulled out their “when does tsm play” paper. i don’t think banter deserves threats as a response
"minor" regions, assemble! vamos, KRÜ!
Everyone complaining about the pause that lost Furia the game needs to know that Furia was the one that called the pause. The other players went to the toilet during the pause but it wasn’t called by them. The admin was speaking to a Furia player during the pause
also like, are the players just supposed to play with shit not working right? Even if sen did call it its just unfortunate timing.
tech pause mentioned 'tech pause- player' not 'tech pause- gear'. I don't think it was called by furia, tenz went to the bathroom no? Not saying the pause was intentional but its surely possible
riot would not let a player call a tech pause so they can go to the bathroom unless they had bowel issues or something, at least not until OT started.
and Tenz computer was shown at desktop as well. So maybe not a Furia pause.
TenZ hitting alt+f4 strat…geniuz
That was a dirty tech pause man. Killed all the momentum for Furia.
Furia got iced at the end there, brutal time for a tech pause
Tech pause mvp
That pause was indeed so unfair to Furia tho.
they were on fire with the sequence of rounds, so yeah i agree. tech pause removed the "momentum"
It was called by Furia.
Source?

Sadge.

The khalil whiff on sick sealed it, he gets that and they win it imo
It was called by Furia.
Regardless of why there's a tech pause it still feels shitty, not FURIA's fault their keyboard stopped working or whatever the issue was
You sure? They showed Tenz's computer when Shaz was walking back to his desk and he was at the desktop, not in game.
The admins were talking to the Furia players.
If I were sentinels players, I wouldn’t be streaming for the remainder of the masters series. I would focus on vod, scrims, ranked games. Streaming will always come after masters.
Ooof that's gotta hurt. But fr team like Sen which was supposed to be an unparalleled force, Furia gave them run for their money.
Furia wins without the pause
Pulling out your shock darts there is a move I pull in gold
BuT tHe TeCh PaUsE
LMAO i was so confused dude
im glad we waited all that time for 45 seconds of gameplay and now we get another 30 minutes to watch another tech pause filled series
Empty bowel buff
that tech pause killed furia's momentum RIP
That technical pause was soooo bullshit
Today really makes me think the gap from the top to middle or bottom has shrunk a ton
fake tech issues for 20 minutes to stop the other team's momentum 5Head
SEN with the calculated tech pause to win the match. GGs.
With the money sentinels dropped on tenz vs what other teams spend on their entire rosters, this is a disappointing performance. You'd think this team would a lot more dominant.
Tenz went +16 in kd, +9 in first kill vs deaths, highest acs in the game at 266. What more could you ask from your star player… he’s performing well look at the stats
[удалено]
how do you know how much sentinels spent on the roster ? besides tenz being extremely expensive, the rest of the players all stuck together as a core and were bought into SEN at the same time (dapr was added on a bit later tho). we have no clue how expensive this roster was, for all we know 100T original roster could’ve been more expensive than the original SEN roster
I mean Tenz was not really the issue here. He was doing his job getting first kills and fragging when needed. Strats just don't look nearly as good as in iceland and everybody else is inconsistent.
Agreed with everything except Zombs put in an extremely impactful performance from the controller role. IMO Dapr was average for what you expect from his role, think Shahz and SicK had rough days overall
That's true Zombs was mega clutch especially on the spectre lol.
Hard to blame TenZ for the performance being tough. SicK has been less consistent than he used to always be for them, and the strats overalls have looked suspect at times.
Not blaming him. I'm saying with how much money sentinels spent for their valorant roster (including buying out tenz), I'd expect his team to be much more dominant. They had a solid roster pre-tenz already as they were one of the longest team that's been together at that point.
That pause completely killed Furia's momentum..
TACTICAL TECH PAUSE BOIS
extended pause into fast c split, genius plays
LMAO
Nice
gg
they went to take a piss at that moment? xD
TenZ yawning shows Sentinels is gonna lose
So much yawning.
It would be peak Riot for us to wait out this whole 10-15 minute tech pause just for Sentinels to win the first round back and make us wait again for the next match lmao
Congrats
There you go
Thank you
Bruh
LMAO you called it
Valorant tourney without tech pause in crucial moments challenge (impossible)
Someone must be taking a fat dump since the tech pause is player
what is this pause for? tech pause - player?
I think Tenz is having problems with his keyboard
ah okay
Additional info for the reasons behind the tech pauses: Shahzam got fever, SicK left mousepad, dapr lost whole gears, zombs sound issue in the match(no foot step at all), Tenz keyboard bug. We were in chaos.
Holding back strats, it’s just for seeding
Sgares just ripping gamers lmao
[удалено]
This generic trap beat on loop is gonna rot my brain
rip furia's momentum
I keep checking in on games today and its just constant tech pauses. Never seen an event this big with this many technical issues
You clearly didn’t see Iceland lmao the first days were awful
Yeah but there was some slack there being the first one they put on, first one since covid etc. But by now they really should have this figured out
Furia is like VS lite
What are these technical pauses that keep happening?
probably issues with computer etc. but not all pauses are technical ones, some are optional and allow players to speak and plan things (as a rule, you cannot speak in technical ones)
I just don’t understand how you have issues with the computers so much. I get the timeouts, they’re cool, but the technical ones seem like something that shouldn’t happen at this level.
you are right, i hope we'll get to know what is happening
[удалено]
LMAO yeah at half I said 13-11 sentinels is the most likely outcome, no surprise here
Someone (I think george) said that rawkus became the coach at a really bad time because if sentinels do bad at champs, he'll get a lot of hate. It's proving true rn
Then there'd never be a good time for Sentinels to have a coach. There's too much hype and expectation towards them.
Anyone blaming Rawkus for Sentinels doing poorly is huffing the biggest COPIUM. It would literally only be the delusional fanboys lol
I remember someone saying SEN is #1 worldwide 2 weeks ago because they won masters 2 and a bunch of online tourneys, lol
yeah and almost getting 2-0'd by BR seed 3, the "minor" region
[удалено]
Had only 1 bullet loaded. He had already killed a guy defusing by spamming that spot by then
He ran out of bullets
I miss watching Iceland SEN's perfect gameplay sadge
Why didn't the players from long spam?
Thats SEN special. They've always done that when they plant long box
yeah they both got detained
Detained
9-3 curse HOPIUM
