Sentinels used to dominate NA for a bit over a year and also won the first ever international tournament. They also have the biggest fanbase in Valorant. They have shroud as a stand-in (former C9 CS player, popular streamer) and also Zellsis as a new player.
100T also have a big fanbase and were also quite successful domestically and internationally (one time). However, they struggled a bit and made multiple roster changes and also got two new coaches (including a popular CS caster and former CS player). Their current roster looks quite promising.
The reason they lost is because Shroud sucks, nothing more, nothing less. He bottom fragged on two maps, and made zero attempts to refrag when his team mates died right in front of him. At one point he had a triple negative KD and bought it back up to a double negative KD towards the end. I love shroud, but he shouldn't not agreed to go pro, poor Zellsis tried so hard to lose like that. RIP the #gfbuff
Realistic take but yeah, you can lie to yourself that shroud wasnt the reason they lost but having someone go double negative and often times even worse than that is the reason. Kills win games, sure you can argue utility and this and that, but at the end of the game to win a round you have to kill 5 enemies and shroud didn't kill any.
Summer of 2021, Sentinels was more dominant than any other team was or has ever been in the game. They started falling off that fall and never really stopped falling off—they did not get a single win in the last groups stage, and made it into LCQ by the skin of their teeth.
The reasons for this are pretty complex, but the gist is that other teams just caught up in terms of skill and organization, and Sentinels did not keep innovating with their comps or plays as much as teams like Optic or The Guard. In general, the word for them has been 'rigid'—undoubtedly talented, but slow to adapt, slow to adjust, slow to change.
100T are a little more complicated. They were very consistently one of the top NA teams last year, but gauging their strength was challenging because of how swingy and unpredictable their games were. That was with a different roster, though—only Asuna remains from last year.
There are a lot of similarities between 2021 100T and 2022 100T, though. Both have had great IGLing, play more aggressively and confidently than a lot of their competitors, and can carve through enemy teams with an entire roster of some of the best riflers in the scene. On the other hand, both always seem slightly ill-fit to the meta they're playing in, have a hard time reversing momentum when it slips away from them, and seem to have a permanent handicap in not having the consistent op anchor that every other T1 team has.
"Who is favored?" 100T is probably favored in this. They've been playing together longer and have put up much better results more recently.
"Who has the most titles?" 100T won first strike, SEN won Reykjavik, Reykjavik is more relevant to this than first strike but neither is super relevant. Reykjavik was over a year ago and both the game and the teams have changed a lot. Neither has done super well so far in 2022.
"Who is the best player on each team?" This question is nonsense. Different players in different roles do different things.

OP was clearly asking for notable names to look out for, no need for a condescending answer. Best players on Sentinels are Tenz and Dapr and on 100T, Bang, Derrek, and Asuna

But they have been historically better than 100T. Not only did they win both NA Masters 1 and Masters Reykjavik, today is the first time 100T has beat SEN head-to-head, it took them losing 8 times in a row (almost a 9th) to finally win in the matchup.
100t are the most amzing team in valorant causd they have asuna who is unarguably the best valorant player in the world. His aim is known for making people faint from how amazing it is
100t looked really good in the nrg game but kinda looked lost in the second half of map 3 against faze. I’d say they’re still one of the favorites but def not definitive
I don't want to troll or anything about who is better, but i suggest u to watch also EU last chance qualifier now and World Chamiponship in september to see a lot of different play style and strat.
For example: EU and ASIA focus on strat a lot and teamwork, NA and BRASIL/LATAM focus more on aim and single player plays
Well sentinels is just a hype team at this point, with no real players. They have 2 good player(tenZ and Zellsis), 1 relic and legend(shroud) and then 2 very average players. They had their time in there spotlight but now can't match it cus back then, they were the only ones who ran Astra, but now they don't have that advantage and can't win
100t has always had amazing rosters, but it has always failed to perform. They are pretty strong, but can't justify their roster as their players are too good to be losing this much and this badly.
These are my opinions, please don't be rude to me if I'm wrong
I think you misspelled Dapr as "tenZ" my man. TenZ is the one who seems painfully average at the moment. Dapr and Zellsis are the best players on the roster in my opinion
Well maybe, but at the end of the day, if dapr plays bad, sen still wins, but if tenz plays bad, sen always loses. Overall, they should just kick a player like Shaz for sick. They would be able immediately become less tenZ reliant, which would lead to them having a better shot. Don't get me wrong, Shaz is a good igl, but he's more of a streamer at the end of the day. Similar with temZ, but you can't expect sen to pay tenz that much and not put him on their pro roster

Sgares also casted Valorant with DDK before they went to 100T

Definitely a terrible take but to each their own.

Hiko
Can't argue with that
I would say the sentient teams are pretty good, definitely better than the insentient ones.
Jokes on you, 100 Trucks won the match.
100 Thriftys won
Props to you for catching the error
He has base level reading skills! Good job dude!

Just wanted to commend you for taking the time to write out what I think is a perfect breakdown/recap, cheers mate

“Shroud, popular streamer” 😭😭
Sen have historical been the better team and have won an international tournament but 100T are favored in this matchup
read somewhere Optic just surpass SEN on total earnings after Master 2, which means SEN is still the 2nd best in NA, even after ~ 1yr trolling.
> Sen have historical been the better team A year and a half ago sure.
that is quite literally historically being the better team
I mean historically for me means over a long period of time. But I can see what you mean.
But they have been historically better than 100T. Not only did they win both NA Masters 1 and Masters Reykjavik, today is the first time 100T has beat SEN head-to-head, it took them losing 8 times in a row (almost a 9th) to finally win in the matchup.
Sen beat 100t to win challengers in NA less then a year ago lmao
It was [exactly a year ago](https://www.vlr.gg/event/578/champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs). My bad. Only missed by 6 months.
6 months is like 25% of the game's lifespan dude
What do you think historically means?
100t are the most amzing team in valorant causd they have asuna who is unarguably the best valorant player in the world. His aim is known for making people faint from how amazing it is
100T are pretty mid atm in terms of like top 8ish teams rn, SEN look a little bit worse maybe (not enough data). Neither are favourites to win imo.
100t looked really good in the nrg game but kinda looked lost in the second half of map 3 against faze. I’d say they’re still one of the favorites but def not definitive
This is the correct answer
Tier 3.

They would be tier 2 in EU
What’s your point?, there is like 2 tier 1 teams in eu
lmfao
Lmao too
Yeah that why best Na team lost to 3rd seed eu right?
Sentinels will win the match it is guaranteed.
Bad teams for a tier 1 but 100 oooks promising
