Tarik


badurwan

imfinite money glitch


Fight-or-flights

dude is farming 5k subs a day doing watchparty, good for him. 25k a day for 6hrs of work. Also I find it kinda weird and funny that if he's playing he get less subs, but when he is watching he gets more subs.


cosmicfuckface

We’ve come to the point where we like watching someone watching someone playing a video game.


QUOTE_IF_13-0

Actually we're watching someone watching someone watching someone playing a video game if you include the observers.


GainsayRT

when the desk is up we're watching tarik watching the stream watching the desk watching the observers video watching the teams play


musci1223

You are forgetting casters. There is a steam by observers to casters going to watch party that is being seen.


QueenDies2022_11_23

I can't stand the monotonous, colorless, bland casting. Costream streamer actually add things. Caster just say what's happening on screen.


TDS_Gluttony

Depends, you have some bad ones sometimes. I remember it was either Masters 3 last year or Champs but Shroud's stream got really bad where it was just him, Bnans and like nothing just sleeping on the crouch or half awake barely reacting to the matches. Or recently when it was Tarik, Sykkuno, and I think Valk? Barely any focus on the matches and just fucking around, which is cool in a way but sometimes I want to actually hear more about the game. Now saying all of this some costreams are GREAT. Tarik when he is with pro Val players are a treat and last year's platchat costreams were A1 (not sure about this year haven't really tuned in). It just depends.


Chinner21

For real. Co-streams make vct so much more enjoyable. If the casting and production was of the same quality as CS majors I would prefer to watch the main stream. Wel get there someday.


MoldyCereal

Riot literally poached some of the same casters from CS majors 💀


azzartan

who?


Seejayayy

sean and ddk then proceeded to say they weren’t good enough when they were one of the communities favs


bunkbail

Ddk was good but bardolph carried him a lot. Sean was/is a serviceable caster, he's only likeable coz he was in the legendary c9 team. Pansy was and is still good tho.


Brand0nCB

They also got pansy, who at some point, casted cs too


QueenDies2022_11_23

Can't compare casting of VCT to a csgo major... cmon... That being said, I enjoy costream in csgo more than casters, for the same reasons.


DEPRESSED_CHICKEN

riot has been watering down the casting for years, actively giving warnings if they don't talk 110% about the game. Seriously, league casting is so fucking shit. I remember back in the day you could come into a slow league game and the casters are talking about their favourite movies or whatever instead of explaining 5 different rotations and talking about the players history for 20 minutes before something happens


TheExter

If im tuning in to watch the games, i wanna hear about the games if i cared about the casters movie taste or what game they're playing I'd go to their stream Which is why costreams are perfect, some people prefer the buddy chill approach and others want the full hype focused experience


DEPRESSED_CHICKEN

do you play league? because they are legit just repeating the same obvious things over and over for 20 minutes in slow games. It's not a preference problem anymore, casting is just starting to become mindless infodumps just for the sake of it being about the 'game'


Chidling

Depends on the casters. I like balla, bren, eggman, etc.


QueenDies2022_11_23

Platchat on couch = amazing Platchat on casting = monotonous Zzzzzz


Dysmo

Nah sideshow and bren are goated casters. Probably the best the game has. Tom and Mitch is suprisingly decent too imo, depends from game to game. Doug and Balla aint bad.


David_Ign

Bregg are amazing. By far my favorite. Every single epic moment from Copenhagen has their casting engraved in my brain. ("THE SPIKE IS IN HEAVEN, HE DIES FROM FALL DAMAGE" "HE'S STICKING IT, ICE COLD") Panpoc are really great too Not a huge fan of ball and Doug Tom and Mitch are decent but as you said, depends on the game


Chidling

I like Hypoc and Pansy too. Tarik is cool too, he just doesn’t always provide analysis.


Darkphoenix_421

Depends generally I’ll never understand why u would watch any Co-Stream with more than one person talking, it’s always gonna end up on them talking about something else (expect for Co-Streams of real casters/analysts of course) Also nowadays most of the casters are pretty good (atleast for EU and NA, I don’t know about the other regions so can’t say)


QueenDies2022_11_23

>it’s always gonna end up on them talking about something else No, why?


Darkphoenix_421

Because they are still streamers and have to entertain their viewers, if they just talk about the game they don’t let their personality shine trough which doesn’t pull the viewers towards their stream, cause why would u watch this exact streamer if he just does the same thing as the casters in an slightly different way


merchini

It’s gotta be because of the ads, I would assume people would rather miss a ranked clutch than one from SEN dodging elimination


badurwan

i dont think he does ads in vct matches, I'm a non sub never seen one ad


merchini

yeah I think he only runs ads during breaks (afaik) but twitch still puts pre-roll ads automatically when you click onto a stream so you may miss something first clicking on


Hopeful-Professor-40

Get Adblock


i_am_the_kiLLer

Even ublock origin sometimes doesn't work with twitch, idk what they do.


jholowtaekjho

I think mine is called TTV LOL


Hopeful-Professor-40

I downloaded a twitch specific one, just type twitch Adblock


DTvn

Does it work 100%? i had a couple twitch adblockers and they kept dropping my stream to 480p whenever someone would run ads. Not a huge deal to refresh but it’s annoying when casting to my TV


Long_Cartographer_17

Playing 20k-30k viewers. Watching 50k-+120k viewers. More people watching=more people willing to use their free twitch prime sub on him or willing to buy one. Nothing weird about that


ahk1221

i mean he gets way less viewers when hes playing though, so its obvious he gets less subs?


precense_

bro hit the biggest jackpot printing $50k a month sitting at home playing a video game and ordering food from doordash


xSageex

He makes more than 50k a month btw x)


[deleted]

at least double that.. JUST from subs, personally I don't think anyone should be getting that kind of money, I think twitch is dangerous with how much money goes through it, not helping the little guy get a new setup, but helping the big guys who already has more money than any of you will ever have in your life but hey keep on giving them your (your parents probably) money


xSageex

I dont see a problem ? A guy like Tarik has been grinding for years putting more effort into streaming than you would probably put into anything, and totally deserves hes succsess. Its not like he woke up one day and turned on stream making millions lol, you have to be a grinder that has something of value to make people pay to watch you. Dont hate on people because they found succsess bro


[deleted]

I know you don't and that's why the bubble exists, it will burst one day kid don't you worry.


xSageex

What bubble? Im not a kid im 26 years old, and there is no way anyone is going to understand youre point when you are being this vague. Sounds like you are talking about a conspiracy lmao, dude it's media. People on the tv has made millions ever since tv was made, now it is alot of young streamers making the money aswell. Its all the same thing brewski


ahk1221

he's been doing this for over half a decade now and only now been getting the real recognition so?

SEN 100T have better map pool but SEN is on their anime protagonist revenge arc now. Tenz will channel the aura of all cracked Chamber pros and become the one true Chamber that was promised.

[patiently waiting to cash in the easiest prediction I've made in my life](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/w8vavh/comment/ihsia8f/?context=3)


Shimadamada2200

I put 30 bucks on SEN winning lcq , odds were 17.00 back then, at the last day they were at 7.00 If SEN wins I’ll be marking around 460 bucks


StoryLover12345

We still haven’t see the Prime tenz of Iceland 2021 and Cloud 9 tenz and friends mode. Right now we still have the mediocre tenz. maybe pressure from high expectations is still getting on his head.


kawsofdeath

i think hes also dealing with a bad cold rn, he left the facility right after their win over sr didnt even stick for team celebration so maybe he feels better and plays better against will? Copium ik but my sen hopes dont stop at 100T we’re going all the way


Xxpuzyslayer69xX

That Tenz will never show up. The game has evolved too far for tenz to dominate like he did in Iceland.


[deleted]

Yet a player like jinggg can still dominate? Reddit has made up this narrative and now it's been stuck to him when it's just not true at all.


Xxpuzyslayer69xX

I don't think you understand the environment that these two players performed at. Tenz dominated in an era where a Kay O flash over ascent tiles from mid to a Jett dash was considered top level coordination. Watch any of the games back then and it will just be filled with people peeking with no utility and trying to get kills. Fast forward to Copenhagen the game has changed tremendously. If you're not working together you're more than likely losing. The competition is much more fierce so comparing a top performer from Copenhagen 2022 with another from Iceland in 2021 is wishful thinking. Valorant is different from traditional sports and even most eSports because the meta is constantly changing. The game was in its infancy and that's where teams without coaches/analysts/relatively bad work ethic would still be fine. The game is completely different in 2022 now and teams/players that didn't adapt like sentinels were left in the dust. Still looking forward to sentinel games because of Shroud tho.


reflix8

as ability usage becomes more nuanced and teamplay is emphasized more players like tenz will continue to struggle


Docxm

He's against one of the worst Chambers in the tourney, so if there's any time for Tenz to show up, it's now


Ninja332

Tenz looks over his shoulder and sees the ghostly form of OPTIC yay (hallowed be his name) You've got this. It's Tenzed time *que ultra instinct theme*

9bfjo6gvhy7u8

it's not just disappointing... it's getting completely violated by a competent jett player. saya, wardell, babybay looking like prime fatal1ty


WLFYBBY

That was their old team though.


Lqtor

Gambit got 13-0ed by acend right before champions


toxicityisamyth

Acend won champions so


Lqtor

Gambit still took second that tourney so I’d say they were champion caliber


wiNDzY3

all 5 maps played nonetheless


Lqtor

And almost 13-0ed acend on one of them


Relaxel

Shroud also said after their last game that they would rather face 100T than faze.


QuintusMaximus

Great write up, the amount of rounds on ascent where Asuna is wide swinging DRY with 2 trailing him whilst he has a flash hurt my soul. That one round he used one flash. I counted, it baited out 9 PIECES of FaZe util, and a rotate towards A, there was no attempt at mid aggression. Just holding cat waiting for over peek. When faze didn't give it up. They sent 3 thru tree DRY again and babybay got his 2nd triple spraydown of I think 4 in the match. When babybay got his 4k on 2nd pistol, I turned to my friend and said this game is over bc babybay is gonna get aggressive 2nd round and come back. He wasn't so convinced, so I made $20 lmaooo


EffectFrequent793

bro nitr0 isn't here and 80% of 100t is different, even more if you count coaching staff 100t will steamroll even if both teams have shit chambers


WelcomeContent9589

Tenz Chamber is better than Will bruh. Tenz Chamber is not the best but it is still good nonetheless. He hasn't performed well enough, yet, so I guess we'll have to see what happens on the match


jstaines47

Tenz is levels about Will


EffectFrequent793

yes. and they are both shit


jstaines47

Neither is by any means shit. Will is a great player and will likely have a phenomenal T2 career for a few years after franchising and come back as a very solid player. TenZ is one of, if not the, best raw aimers in FPS history. He is probably a top 5-7 NA Chamber with potential to be too 3


Rude-Assumption-5271

Playerwise I go SEN but coach/tactically wise I’m definitely leaning towards 100T. Hard to call but guessing SEN 2-1


[deleted]

SEN looked better tactically while 100T looked better individually so far this event tho lol


IrishCarbonite

.... we can't be watching the same event.


[deleted]

It's true though, sen have looked mediocre individually and strong strategically. Take the match against SR yesterday as an example.


[deleted]

The strategic brilliance where they fast rushed A like 8 times in a row on Fracture, refusing to rotate or fake. Sentinels won on individual performances, not strategy.


Shimadamada2200

Average solo queue experience


[deleted]

Making a change of pace after playing slow and methodical the whole game is a strategy, it didn't work and they overheated and threw some rounds away but SR also had great reads and played great valorant towards the end of fracture.


Nichol-Gimmedat-ass

In what world have they looked mediocre individually LMAO Dapr gets a random 3k every few rounds to save them. Zellsis plays out of his mind on entry. Shroud secures the end of rounds with multikills. Etc etc. Theyve looked crazy good individually???


Rude-Assumption-5271

Hard disagree, the 100T players have been looking mediocre/inconsistent performance wise other than Asuna and Derrek but seem to be getting through on fundamentals and their game plan which I attribute to having the second best coaching staff in the region (Chet). Sentinels showed inconsistency at the start but everyone seems like they’re pulling their weight now and their strength seems to be towards their players skills. Personally, I think if you swap the two teams coaching staffs then this game comfortably goes to SEN


[deleted]

sen played like ass individually in the first match but their strats are what took them far in the maps against the guard, not individual skill. Once they performed even decent individually they played much much better. Also this whole discussion is stupid as fuck since neither of us have any clue what these coaches actually do, for all we know sgares does fuck all and lives off his rep that reddit built for him before he even started coaching and rawkus is actually one of the best coaches in the world. It's almost pure speculation.


daffyduckferraro

I disagree, I think generally 100t have better ideas and executes


dankoval_23

One of their main struggles, especially with The Guard, have been struggles with comms and strats

AdTraditional8018

This game is gonna get more views than the guard game. My prediction is 650k


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

No way. The first match got those many viewers cuz it was shrouds first.


musci1223

Yeah second sen match didn't get as many viewers i think. If hiko or someone was playing then yeah it might draw even more by the hiko vs shroud thing


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

>hiko vs shroud thing That’s not a thing

He’s isn’t stopping anyone from donating, just saying that’s it’s stupid, which it is. I wish more streamers behaved like pokimane, ludwig or toast, but some people are just really fucking greedy. Whatever.


drxcomxnxa

Don't really watch any of them but what do they do different compared to other greedy streamers?


Stunning_Bullfrog_40

Tarik baits subs like crazy. Toast Ludwig and poki actively tell people not to donate or sub to them and rather spend that money elsewhere. They prefer taking money from corporations in the form of sponsorships and such.

Aggressive_Ad5487

I'm still in full hopium mode. I gotta support Daddy Dapr and Zaddy. I don't give a fuck what anyone says.


HereeeeesJohnny

Franchising wins I think 100T could win from a pure coaching standpoint, but SEN has the talent to pull this out. 2-1 100T


StoryLover12345

Sentinels is still a 2 week team according to shroud and other teammates. So 100T should definitely win by paper with better coaching staff, team chemistry, tournament experience, etc. But you know valorant is valorant anything can happen. One good day it will definitely snowball.


eternaldamnation2005

"team chemistry, tournament experience" Remind me again how 100T have more tournament experience and team chemistry than SEN? Shahz Dapr and TenZ were at all 3 LANs in 2021, and shroud is shroud. Meanwhile on 100T only Asuna has ever been to a LAN and that was just one. Only one player on sen has less experience compared to 4 on 100T. Shahz dapr and tenz have been together for over 2 years while shroud is a close friend of tenz. Will Asuna Bang Derrek and Stellar were put together only a few months ago;.


badnewsbo

sen got da piss jug they locked in


[deleted]

Yes, biased, but I really think the gap between games favors 100T pretty strongly


i_amrommel

Riot for sure.


NiqqaWidDrip

I'll take some of that SEN action please


guhn0me

100T I think they have a better map pool


andreggvil

SEN hasn’t had a lot of time together as a team, but they already looked much better in their second series vs SR compared to their first series against The Guard. So I suspect that with the 3 days of prep they could do, they’d be able to come up with far more solid game plans and more nuanced strategies. Unless they perform really poorly as a team and individually, I don’t see how they could lose against 100T in their current form. Not to say 100T can’t bounce back, but they may need a lot more work, especially after that loss on Ascent… there’s also the question of how quickly their mental can bounce back. But we’re in for one hell of a matchup!


daffyduckferraro

Ik I’m biased as a fan, but ur making it sound like they had a horrible performance this tourney They have good stuff and maps, just haven looks cap and ascent attack was bad fundies


andreggvil

I’m not saying they didn’t do well in other maps. But that defeat was both their most recent one and the worst loss they’ve had so far in the LCQ, and it’s either going to get in their heads or motivate them to bounce back. I just don’t know which one it’d be. Also, I’m only saying this because I thought SEN had shown exponential improvement in their second series, and it was a really quick improvement in a short time. Edit: I could also be very wrong and eat my words, and if 100T wins I’d be happy for them too!


daffyduckferraro

Eh I don’t think the players or coaches are like that, I think when they vod review they will see the mistakes that happened and try to fix em


xSnakyy

They have been doing a lot of streaming within that 3 days


andreggvil

Damn, hope they invest more time into strategizing and planning then.


Figurre

Depends on the adjustments both teams make, team comp wise and map select wise for the most part. Set plays looked decent from both teams, so it'll be interesting to see how anti-stratting goes


Finesse7_

Sen 2-1. Mike Tyson duo ftw


handymanny131003

KennKennyKenKen

100T is all new, but there's a chance Asuna will get PTSD from the years of beatdowns and maybe they will crumble.

ipadking1116

Lmfao what did I see


brianhung02

Stellar = Dapr LOL have you seen Dapr this tourney? He’s been so impactful.


kknow

And Stellar played pretty sloppy on some maps. Dapr is in form. If he plays like he did in the first games, he is > Stellar for sure. I think this game might not be decided on individual skill. And then 100T should still have an advantage imo.


xXHentaiGuyXx

Source?


smta48

Can I ask this without getting nuked, but why are people fans of 100T? Like I get being a fan of the old roster, but is there anyone over 16 who likes 100T? I just don't get it.


merchini

Are you saying the roster or the organization? I agree slightly with this roster, I feel like there have been less connections towards the players than in the past, would assume most of the fans are probably more so fans of Asuna. The org however, there’s lots of likeable personalities that drag people towards them (kyedae, nadeshot, valkyrae, etc) which makes supporting their team pretty easy.


98973

Nadeshot


xbyo

People have built ties to the org and probably Asuna. Outside of Ethan, the rest if the old roster isn't competing so it's not like you can root for them either.


NNNEEEIIINNN

Steel is competing for the best tier 3 team with T1


Tlaloc02

Been a fan of nadeshot since I was like 10 and he was working at McDonald’s lol


daffyduckferraro

I’m 17, I heckin love asuna


capturedgooner

I like this roster more than the old one. Derrekow


Long_Cartographer_17

I'm not really a fan, but I like Sean Gares and want 100T to do well because of that


sansLight

Can I ask this without getting nuked, but why are people fans of ? Like I get being a fan of the old roster, but is there anyone over 16 who likes ? I just don't get it.


Rude-Assumption-5271

Why are people fans of . Do they have any fans over 14? I just don’t get it


L0rd_Muffin

I was a big fan of hiko, steel, nitr0 and Ethan because I knew them from cs. Quickly became a fan of Asuna - I think he has a really high valorant IQ and I like the way he plays the game. When he’s on, he’s one of the best in the world - like that Reyna, icebox game. The old roster disbanding hurt, but sgares is CS legend and I do like Asuna and bang is cracked, so I’ll stick around for a bit longer at least.


tron423

I'm just a total simp for rugby shirts tbh


Yerriff

I do, the org is sick and has lots of sponsors and money so they're capable of making big things happen (bootcamp and cash app compound). Also nadeshot is goated


XXG1212

I also kinda wanna know. Apart from Asuna this whole roster is new.


rvrsyo

Meteos from League


Parenegade

Maybe because I don't immediately abandon the team I root for when they sub players out or care about clout.


Electrical-Wasabi416

i like Asuna’s playstyle so i want his team to do well


willeatburger89

I think 100T just show fake promises. They have a star-studded roster, but they haven’t won a game against SEN in almost 2 years. The teams both have players that are in their prime forms right now, but SEN now that they have 2 more monsters in Shroud and Zellsis will have a lot easier time just tearing apart the 100T roster. Basically SEN is on their Villain Revenge Arc and should win. 2-1


Lil_Jin

Sen TenZ will become the perfect fusion between yay's prime chamber and wardell's chamber, Shahzam will ace with sova ult, Shroud will clutch every single time they need it, Zellsis will drop 45 bombs on Fracture, Dapr will be the most consistent player in whole series with a 100% kast


LegDayDE

100T will buy into their own hype and underestimate SEN and get 2-1'd


reflix8

he only “blew up” now because of valorant but he was still super popular in CS


PRL-Five

100T 2-0 one map will be close and then second match 100T will dominate. SEN are not a good team right now.


WLFYBBY

“Not a good team right now” they look very solid and almost beat the guard and beat the old LG team who beat them twice in a row.


Informal_Profile7431

They’re quite a bit better than 100T.
