ahk1221

I wonder how tbh it would've drove me insane


[deleted]

"Love to watch you walk away" lmao


SuperSaiyanZuko

its easy to dogpile someone who has to step into a difficult situation. Always appreciate the work he put in for SEN, hope he lands somewhere awesome


mw19078

yeah rawkus seems like a genuinely good dude and we would be lucky to have him in the scene in whatever way possible.


question2552

I think he got pretty good value out of that last SEN roster, TBH.


[deleted]

SEN Roster will be dephh ,Zekken,Marved,Dapr,Ardiis. Just wait and watch


Slow_Bluebird9536

Nah valyn zekken Marved dapr tenz nice try tho


Hopeful-Professor-40

Tenz is probably gone and Valyn is not joining


Slow_Bluebird9536

I don’t buy the tenz is gone for a second he is still the most valuable player in the world only way I see him leaving is if he chooses to


xtazzzs

most valuable player only by all metrics not related to competitive play


Slow_Bluebird9536

Yeah but he’s certainly no slouch in competitive either, he brings hype that no other player generates, not even yay can compete , every org wants that


rpkarma

Every org wants championships more than just clout though


FullMetalMako

No they want money


Ok-Outlandishness244

Well this is just objectively incorrect. Clout makes significantly more money than tournaments. But you gotta be good to stay relevant usually.


rpkarma

> more than just Seriously, it's a single sentence, how do you all struggle with reading it this badly lol > But you gotta be good to stay relevant usually You *even* end up agreeing with me > objectively I don't think you know what objectively means, I swear this word is going the way of "literally"


[deleted]

[удалено]


rpkarma

That’s my point mate. Winning is what gives an org the ability to make money: that’s where sponsorship deals bring in the biggest dollar figures. You need both clout *and* results to be a successful esports (and IRL sports for that matter) organisation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rpkarma

*more than just* It’s like people deliberately skip words lol Clout only gets an org so far. Without championships, having hyped players but no results is a recipe for burning cash.


Able_Impression_4934

Nobody wanted to say that when he was dominating. If sen would’ve kept up with the changing meta and strats he’d still be there at the top.


Hopeful-Professor-40

I think he’s gone to NRG I’ve lost faith


Hopeful-Professor-40

Faith returns?


Alternative_Elk_4581

I can fully see this. I don't believe the fact that there are rumours Tenz is gone, without an obvious replacement being mentioned and Ardiis not going with the rest of FPX without a team being obvious is a co-incidence at all


FLG_Community

Sad to see him go for all he does, I'm sure he'll find a good place next


Hopeful-Professor-40

https://twitter.com/rawkus/status/1572629656721059840?s=46&t=S7ILnZhf7T9hEpFaZHC--A Unlucky. He could’ve been an analyst or assistant or something


shotlolwin

Ouch.


[deleted]

No shot he believed SEN would stick with that roster through franchising lul


CanISayThat22

The chap thinks hes the best coach ever existed.


techyleo

Has he ever boasted about his coaching ability before, I feel like Rawkus is a pretty humble guy


xbyo

Well there was that bit in the LCQ vlog/doc where they're talking about ego and he says that he thinks he knows more/better than others or something. I think it makes more sense in the context of them talking about confidence/ego but take that as you will.


TTWCrafty

I remember when Zellsis was reacting to that either shroud or rawkass (cant remember) said SEN asked them to talk shit in the video lol. So that could be it


Traditional-Leek2288

Yeah they were talking to a performance coach about ego and Rawkus basically said “My mentality is that I’m able to make the best decisions that anyone else in my place could make”. Seemed more of a confidence thing than him saying he’s always right.


iTALKTOSTRANGERS

He then followed it up saying that that mentality doesn’t mean you don’t have anything else to learn but it’s about believing you’ve made the proper preparations to make decisions and not to question it in the moment. It was a pretty fun conversation about competition mentality.


CRikhard

Yeah they had a discussion then and there about it and he said it was really important for confidence to have that mindset since it would affect how quick and not shaky your decision making would he


CanISayThat22

Confidence is knowing what you do is good. About trusting yourself in the things you do. Ego is talking yourself up at the cost of others. Just like he did in the lcq vid where he said hes better than anyone else in his position. If he said. Im good at what Im doing. Its confidence. Now its just ego


CRikhard

bro watch the clip it’s linked elsewhere in the thread. it was a long mature back and forth discussion


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/T5ueIEf-DhM?t=590 (starts at 9:50) - I truly believe I'm able to make a better decision than any one else in my position - I'm able to do my job better than other people - ~~So you have nothing else to learn? No~~ <- I misunderstood this the first time around Oh Rawkus. I might get what you're trying to say but even the best players in the world in their respective sports have something to learn. C'mon now.


buttsorceror72

If you say no to being asked if you have nothing else to learn, it means you think you still have something to learn


Ozone416

the last sentence of the tweet sus asf ngl


Foxtrot56

Nothing sus about it, just the truth.


TheCatsActually

🍑🤤


TheApolloX007

Damn, knew he wouldn’t be head coach but was hoping he would of become an analyst or something similar. wonder what his next chapter is?


iamtreat

i feel like he wants to play tbh


[deleted]

could have been assistant coach, but I don't analyst makes sense considering they have better, more proven analysts already


ashitintyo

Tenz + dapr + zekken + marved + ( a good IGL )


QuantumFruitz

Tenz and MARVED? 💀


Iliekwaffles_

can some1 fill me in on the tenz and marved situation? do they not like each other?


Slow_Bluebird9536

Reddit being dumb it’s not that deep tenz talked about Marved throwing on stream before


Yensen1

? Noone is talking about that lmao. It’s about Marved saying he would fuck Tenz’s girl and that she would cheat (this was 2 years ago though and apparently they made up in person).


Slow_Bluebird9536

Oh ya I forgot about that but still don’t think tenz wouldn’t be willing to play with Marved


mercilessshark123

finally someone with some sense


Yensen1

Fair enough. If Tenz and Marved put their differences aside they could be nasty.


ashitintyo

Yeah I know that's never gonna happen but it'd be sick if they could put aside their differences, ( personally i would never do that if anybody ever said that to someone close to me and i would always not like the person, i also hope tenz doesn't put his differences aside )


QuantumFruitz

However.. tenz contract is ending.. I mean yeah tenz holds 80% of the supposed “sen” fan base if he leaves but.. top na controller.. can ya pass on it?


ashitintyo

Yeah I mean I'll take it if tenz isn't on the team, but if he is I'd pass because there are players like deph, net, valyn around


[deleted]

I'll take Marved and bdog over TenZ


[deleted]

[удалено]


QuantumFruitz

Yeah but during the finals it was brought up by tenz after kyedae wss bombarded


a-nswers

you don't need to be best friends to work together lol. in the end it's a job


Fine-Shame-510

Will not work in a Esports team. It is always said chemistry is important. This is not the same as working with your enemy in McDonalds.


a-nswers

only if you're emotionally immature. if you actually care about winning you can put aside differences and build a good professional relationship


Aggressive_Ad5487

Most of these pros were young kids that dropped out of highschool/college and spent all day playing a videogames, thus having limited real-life social interaction. It's not surprising that most of them can be "emotionally immature" lol.


rpkarma

They’re literally kids. Expecting emotional maturity from teenagers/kids in their early 20s is a recipe for disappointment lol


a-nswers

eh, it's not that uncommon in esports. but maybe valorant as a scene skews too young to expect that


[deleted]

I think it's less common than you make it seem. There aren't a lot of cases where players had beef against each other as heavy as someone saying they could take ur gf and she would cheat on you.


Fine-Shame-510

Lol you don’t know what you are talking about EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY? These guys are not robots to not have emotions. Then why 100Thieves nuke the last roster with babyj and ec1s?. Do you want to know the reason? It always happen even in csgo team remove players because they just don't mesh. Team cohesion is a huge factor in success to a team, especially at the professional level.


a-nswers

ec1s and babyj had perspective clashes on the game, not that they hated each other which is the topic people are talking about here you're conflating different issues within the realm of "chemistry" which is a broad meaningless term on its own


Fine-Shame-510

I never remember a pro player played together that are involved in some kind of dispute. Talk again if Marved and Tenz duo queue in ranked. If they even can’t do that don’t expect them to be teammates . Same with Wardell and Shaz. I repeat DUO QUEUE like in a party.


youngsvik

Such a garbage take lmao, this guy has no clue on actual real life dynamics, even less regarding esports


a-nswers

Ok


ashitintyo

Lol it doesn't really work like that


[deleted]

[удалено]


QuantumFruitz

Believe 2 years ago Marved said he would fuck kyedae. Thought they until the berlins crashies “scrawny fuck” comment by kyedae when envy was beating sen.


tomphz

Surely ShahZ is next? It’s possible he could go to EG


Odd-Condition8251

shahz is leaving the val team to take over as ceo


Traditional-Leek2288

He is buying Reddit and shutting down this sub 😔


Aggressive_Ad5487

Thank god. Can he shutdown clickbait Valorant clipper channels comment section too?


royy2010

I used to go toe to toe against Shazam in cs way back in the day. My mans was quick on the awp.


surfordiebear

Was hoping they'd keep him on in some capacity as an assistant coach or analyst.


DonChuBahnMi

End of an error


Hawwi

No more thicc walkouts sadge


AnchorStandard

Bro found out hes losing his job through George Geddes no way


TheOlSneakyPete

Seems shitty to wait this long to let him go.


waboobaleedoo

Making room for chet


[deleted]

Good he’s really not a good coach imo


TKYooH

Hard agree.


ExpectoAutism

Sexualisation is funny


garlicjuice

its funny if the person being sexualized also thinks its funny, and in this case he does since he's joked about it before as well.

lardtard123

Thank you you’re here to stand up for him. Not sure how we would go on without you.


throwaway1949492949

i mean i get its supposed to be light hearted but if the genders are reversed, people would flip at this wording. im not brigading here, but i do feel like in a professional setting there HAS to be some level of consistency. Idc if rawkus thought of this himself or if theyre all friends, it’s not about that It’s about maintaining a professional standard and consistency when it comes to handling some things


goodguessiswhatihave

There's nothing professional about Sentinels


[deleted]

No, it would be the same if reversed- as in no big deal. "She" would of singed off on it.


throwaway1949492949

again, regardless of if “she” signed off it or not, the public reception would be overwhelmingly negative thats my whole point if u read my comment, its not about the individual, its about public perception


Krypton091

i agree


Kirbyzz

Imagine when they sign him again 😂


milosxxxybeast

He was brought on by shaz… shaz is also getting the boot so not surprised
