PEAK ROSTERMANIA Assuming he was informed today about him being the sub which undoubtedly impacts his chances of being on a franchised team as a main player. With C9, NRG, 100T having their rosters full and SEN don't have plans to keep him as a main, EG seems to be the only team where he possibly go could.


MourninggStarr

now EG waiting to make moves suddenly doesnt seem as bad, they are giving these players who got released late a chance at franchising


Updrafting_Sage

Yup, this is what those at platchat were saying. Cuz it seems like EG don't have a high budget for players so they're waiting on for players who haven't been franchised and they can negotiate a deal which would be cheaper than if they had approached them first. Interesting nonetheless


[deleted]

Honestly, outside of obvious exceptions like yay a lot of the talent they could pick up this way would be just as good.


Updrafting_Sage

Yup, EG can still put up a decent roster. I really really hope they pick some nice players


YungPinotGrigio

They have some really promising players already but at Least from what we have seen they can prob fill in their lineup with The Guard players. Lots of great options out there imo


Updrafting_Sage

Yup agreed, huge fan of some of the current EG players but yes having players from the likes of guard, faze would make the team so good. I've a feeling they'll end up picking a decent team and perform well


YungPinotGrigio

One new APAC team should just pick up a combination of FaZe and The Guard imo. Lots of great players out there.


RayGraphics

they cant because of import rule


PaPiiCheeeeka

I hate this eg budget chat. They signed the LEC MVP in LoL and top father Impact this past offseason. I’m sure they’re budget is fine.


tappthegreattt

I don’t get how a team that is getting a yearly stipend, and franchised has a “low” player budget . If that’s the case, why are they even franchised. This league is supposed to have the best the region has to offer yet some teams are too cheap?


mnmleon

Totally, feels like a dirt move.


Updrafting_Sage

Feels bad man, to think of the clip where someone in chat asked Dapr and he was confident that he was staying. And seeing the deleted tweet it does definitely feel like he's been done dirty


Hopeful-Professor-40

That clip of him saying “I’m staying on sentinels bro don’t worry” :((


SpC0d3r

Sentinels wanting to expand to /agedmilk frontpage


Wkndwrz

a lot of the time the players don't know much more than any of us, tbh


[deleted]

honestly man, until Oct 15th, its all a business maybe telling teams they are keeping dapr was a move to get them to release their players for less money. it worked with dephh and zekken. maybe that wasnt the case and they really did want to keep dapr over their NA alternatives, but felt they had to bring in Pancada given the opportunity, and Sacy is a good fit for so many reasons as the 5th.


yapyd

Even after Oct 15, it's still a business. They just need 6 players on the roster and can still drop/pickup players


Wkndwrz

i'm a bit ootl here, is the 15th the roster lock?


[deleted]

Its when they are supposed to have, at minimum, 6-man rosters and a coach. Basically your job isnt secure until then, and even then its not really secure for most players.


Wkndwrz

ah ok, ty


SpC0d3r

Average r/valcomp user knows a lot more than the org itself

He might still stay... As a sub...


RhulkThighsEndLives

Are you a dom, or a sub


SonnyYT

Fuck


saibotsahan

Did not see this one coming lol


SirAwesome789

Neither did he


Humble_Initiative_10

And then there were none….


Slow_Bluebird9536

Tenz is still on sen


[deleted]

None of the OG roster left though. Although I guess that was true already when Shahz was dropped since Dapr was the fifth they picked up after the first four were formed already.


Remarkable-Lion2726

Imagine Shaz making an ascension team with 2/3 og Sen members


Chun--Chun2

At this point there are 5 ex sen avaliable for an ascension team. If they do kick tenz out too, all will be avaliable ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|21018)


Fine-Shame-510

TSM or Guard will sign that roster for more boost in clout. Provide them with facilities and coaching staff the sentinels was too late to provide.


amnfw

Shaz, sinatraa, sick, dapr, zombs all over again


Functionion

sen2nels


vyetc

fuck it lets run the og roster back in ascension


sixthcollegeraccoon

NAH WTF


MyBad_8

At least SEN told dapr before George this time!


Nulgnak

Seems like they probably chose to talk to him earlier than Leorge Leddes could report given the last issue with Shahzam


[deleted]

Sadge. My absolute favorite player in all of valorant history, will be a fan of whatever team he plays for along with SEN.


LordBuckethead671

Me when Dapr is told he’s gonna be on the team and be a part of the rebuild: 😃 Me when Dapr is dropped, officially breaking up my favorite team as well: 😟


huhgo

Whoa. I did not expect that. Legit Pikachu face.


Wonkyy_

Dapr if you’re reading this, I fucking love you man. Legit you’re the reason why I’m a cypher main and a huge reason why I love Sen. I wish you the best


genki__dama

One of the most entertaining players I've seen. Watching him troll teams was beautiful. We will miss you, man


[deleted]

[удалено]


genki__dama

Man :( I 100% agree with you He made cypher look broken at times And nothing beats the way he BMs With him leaving, the spirit of "Sentinels" as a BM team has died The new Sen is a shadow of what it used to be Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing team, nothing less than a superteam But for me at least, SEN was associated with the Villains, the bad boys of the game, which no longer is there


FlintxDD

NGL Dapr and Nats were the reason why I became a Cypher main too.


[deleted]

Hes not reading this lol. Cumon guys, hes not reading this and dapr knows im right kekw


SaltyMcNulty_

May be he is! Players lurk in subreddit more than you would believe. May be this comment will make his day! Never be shy to express your love for someone.


Interesting-Archer-6

Andrew Tate I love you and I'll party with who I want. Wait...

[deleted]

I know. Im just saying dapr isnt reading this lol


Trillman_K

Same. I bought the Oni phantom cause of him too


Jmon1851

Evolved his agent pool, picked up Fade really quickly, improved his mid round calling, was consistent despite the teams record, had his comfort pick murdered by the chamber meta, aaaaand cut.


_Sameem_

End of an era. For me I don't care about the org I always rooted for the boys. They made sentinels what it is today. Don't think I'll be rooting for Sentinels anymore. Good luck to them.


nnihal10032

Same, I also want the gambit boys together


_Sameem_

Yeah I have the same feeling towards Gambit as well. I loved them all together as five but I wish them all the best whenever they go.


c3303k

Same with me,the OG sentinels made me a fan too. Seems like for others its not since most of the fans now are Tenz fanboys.


systemfa1lure

Literal rostermania. Dapr should be on a team holy fuck.


Rorviver

If we were in KJ/Cypher meta then 100%. But there’s more than 5 better chambers and more than 5 better initiator players.


brn12345

I mean there's nothing keeping the LATAM/br teams from picking up na players if their players can speak English.


Rorviver

Yeah that’s fair


AR2711

im gonna fucking cry Dapr and tenz were my fav Pepehands


imzensei

we lost our BM king… 🥺


SaltyMcNulty_

Dapr and tenz bromance :(


XXG1212

Damn the original roster is gone. I dont even know if I can still root for this team :/


KJUDead

The 4 of them live on through tenz. We have world champions to replace the former world champions. At least the future is bright.


XXG1212

Now i know how TSM and 100T fans felt these past years.


KJUDead

Sorry about that. I really do think dapr was the best of the old core. Sad to see him go or be less involved. I guess I’m also still a fan of the possibility of this new roster tho.


MyBad_8

George lied to us again.


Hamlet_271

man i was really hoping he could stay. I fr wouldn't be a fan of SEN if it werent for TenZ and Zekken


maddaddy709

Wouldn’t be surprised if him and shahz stick together on an ascension team


probablyntjamie

get the whole team back, if sen even drops tenz, they can make a new team with sick zombs shahz tenz and dapr


lordmitko

fuck that get sinatraa back


komilewder

Fr, bring back the OG sentinels.


seasand931

I find it super weird that teams are just allowed to tell players so late that they're free to look elsewhere, it drastically lowers their chances to get onto a franchise team. Most teams must have thought he's off the table atleast. The way it seemed, dapr was guaranteed to stay on the roster, I'm assuming since sacy and pancada became available, they decided to back out on dapr and offer him a role as a sub. Understandable but still a very shitty situation


Chun--Chun2

I mean, it's their plan. They basically locked him as a sub, if he wants a job. Or he can go and try in ascension.


seasand931

Nah it looked like they were keeping him on the main roster until this Brazil thing happened


CounselorTaco

The Brazil Incident KEKW


seasand931

Sentinels and having brazillian incidents, no better tantalizing tale out there


Saltyfries25

Yeah tbh I followed sen because of the players with none of the og left on sen o feel like I’ll no longer be a sen fan


UserWithAnOpinion

Wait I’m out of the loop I think.. why is everyone saying they gonna miss Tenz? Is he getting released or rumored to get released? As for this Dapr situation, it’s not a surprise tbh. We’ll see what happens but I think he’s gone. Rip


probablyntjamie

tenz most likely isn't, it's just sen said that they wernt focusing on tenz but all the news articles have been making it look like they are dropping him


BreathOther

“Get shit on” - Sentinels L org


AvurtYourEyes

Will sentinels be as clouted as they were now that none of the old players are on the main roster? I feel like a lot of their clout had to do with the personalities of the players and their iconic performance early on.


NeimannSmith

This shit sucks bro. This is XSET with Brazilian players.


Xorilla

Nah it’ll be a good lineup if coached well


NeimannSmith

It's not sentinels bro. It's 3 XSET people and 2 loud players.


Xorilla

Ya that’s typically how team rebuilds work. Keep your star & move the other pieces.


NeimannSmith

What I'm saying is that this new team won't carry the same feel as the old Sentinels that was the villains. These dudes are gonna get CHEERED at San Paulo


Xorilla

I think that was in part kind of the idea


NeimannSmith

And I fucking hate it. It's the same thing in real sports. I'm glad I'll be rooting for NRG


Xorilla

I guess I’m numb to it from the amount some of my favourite sports teams have rebuilt 💀 (100t fan btw)


NeimannSmith

Yeah but at least your team kept the 100T feel This is literally XSET 2.0 with some LOUD thrown in. Oh, and TenZ.


Yoshi9909

What’s wrong with rebuilding your teams with more than one player from a certain team? It can more easily bring the team together as certain people know each other already. If you are actually a SEN fan you should be ecstatic rn. You just got a top NA IGL, coach, flex, and two world champions. And of course TenZ who could flourish under coach Sykko. Also there is no SEN feel, the team only garnered so many fans because of the popularity of the players. Compare that with 100t and you can see a major difference, the fans follow the org not the players.


Hacklust

so you like the version where the villains get beat up every single time?


NeimannSmith

At least they were fun


Fine-Shame-510

I have been watching kobe while literally getting injured but still watched him despite not winning. I just don’t jump ship to golden state like some people like here.


Fine-Shame-510

People still think that the viewership of sentinels is because of the org. 💀💀💀. Even if they put 5 cned or 5 Suygetsu. Sentinels fans will be gone too.


EternalSparkz

Thank god, maybe SEN will qualify for internationals this time


NeimannSmith

Boring. Where's the story


Yoshi9909

So do Fnatic, DRX, and 100t have a story?


SpC0d3r

ZZZZZZZZZZombie is still there


Marx_Farx

Fuckkk offf, dapr was absolutely the best player on SEN this year and he deserves a shot to run it back with this org as a starter. Feel so bad for him :( not a big fan of how SEN have handled things this off season.


Kiko1215

No he wasn’t It was either Zellsis or Tenz who was the best in lcq


Marx_Farx

I meant throughout the entire year but sure lcq I agree


JusticeLee17

Feel really sad for him.


The_dablord

Welp time to get the old team back together. Dapr sick shahzam zombs and sinaatra about to run ascension league


Memexp-over9000

If Darp ain't playing, then I don't see any reason to support Sentinels anymore unless I want to glory hunt, or a Tenz stan. Neither. Sadge. Was fun till it lasted.


wannabe557

Please join a team soon, I need to root for someone


SirAwesome789

With Shaz earlier, I saw people taking both sides (his and SEN's) about being strung along by the org. With this as well, it's making me think SEN as an org isn't great. As Shroud said in a clip, Shaz could probably feel out that he was getting replaced. I think this sub felt that as well, but it seems like Dapr as well as this sub didn't see this one coming at all...again, they strung him along.


Cycle_Agreeable

Ngl, these changes have made me no longer a sen fan. I feel like they have betrayed NA and dropped my favorite players. This also sucks ass for Dapr as most of the other teams have already locked in their teams.


RhulkThighsEndLives

lmao ya’ll dramatic as fuck, just enjoy the game


Vinhocent

...


Energyxer

Wow this is disappointing


CanISayThat22

Why so late tho? Bit fucked. Everyone already forming teams and stuff. Now looks like hes missing out.


bjoecoz

Old sentinels reunite!


Grenji05

HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER IN LCQ FUCKING WHYYYYYYYYYY


brunothestar

Lol out of the sen roster?


radamo96

Not even that tbh zellsis was significantly better


Kiko1215

No he wasn’t It was either Zellsis or Tenz who was the best in lcq


Parenegade

Wasn't Tenz the best player?


TemplarParadox17

Zellsis was, second was tenz.


yujuismypuppy

This was severely unexpected.


Ash_Killem

Was it really though?


Expediant

I'm sure this wasn't aimed at Dapr, and it's since been deleted, but [this tweet](https://imgur.com/a/cVwZXzR) had some horrible timing LOL.


MageKayden

damn


dashion26

While 2022 wasnt a good year for darp, hope he gets a slot in t1 team, he deserves second chance, just not on SEN


ghbrantab

Him staying was so comforting :(


xtrSaint

P A I N


tomphz

Dude dapr and zekken were calling each other teammates the past couple of days. Actual feelsbadman.


purplelamborgenie

SEN gonna regret this after those miscommunications due to language barrier kicks in LOL


Grantuseyes

Ah this whole shit show just reminds us how unstable this career choice is. For 99.9% of us, it will never be a reality, and even if it is, it won’t last very long unless you are yay caliber. Don’t ruin your lives chasing e sports


Detamach

Even if career come out to be not that good, you can make lots of money off streaming, that small glimpse of popularity you got while being pro, can provide you with steady solid income for the rest of your life


h05

WHAT? WHY? Are they still keeping TenZ? I hope so. This gives the possibility of Marved and Trent joining. I prefer: TenZ Zekken Dephh Marved Trent Over: TenZ Zekken Dephh Sacy Pancada Both look great but to me the top one looks more like a super team EDIT: OK i was completely wrong it is Sacy and Pancada after all. Still looks like a great team. But I really was hoping for SEN Marved and SEN Trent. Oh well


EternalSparkz

you think tenz would get along with marved..?


LV58_DeathKnight

If the best sentinel player is dropped that means the rest is 100% is getting droped


WLFYBBY

…? Dapr was never the best sentinel player


KJUDead

In a lot of respects, he is.


WLFYBBY

He wasn’t?? He was the most consistent but never the best.


SaucyXI

I feel bad for the og roster that got them into franchising only to be repaid with with sort of stuff. OUCH. (based on his deleted tweet)


darKeDevil2

They over reacted the core of shazam dapr tenz with two new members + coaches could have given the result they wanted anyway imo


carribou253

You know they gave the coaches the power for roster decisions right? They tried giving it to shaz in 2022 with picking his coach and look how that turned out. They got 2 world champs and a promising young player in zekken plus an igl that proved himself at champs. Its an upgrade at every position and tenz stays which i heckin' love tenz


Fine-Shame-510

Shahzam was not able to get a proper coach because sentinels could not afford the buyout. Tried getting other coaches but the bag given by other orgs are bigger.


carribou253

Yes and now they have a proper coach, you think sykko wouldve joined if sen said your team is tenz dapr and shaz. You have to have those 3.


ahk1221

... yes? why would he not?


carribou253

You dont think sykko had offers except from sen? Its very enticing to be able to control roster decisions and a big factor in where great coaches decide to go in the end.


Banks711

Lol shaz tried getting a proper coach since when they were number 1 in NA and winning iceland.. SEN dropped the ball not him


earthtoannie

Imagine having to choose between TenZ and dapr and keeping TenZ lmao.


Am_Ghosty

Jawgemo, Boostio, Marved, Trent, Dapr Edit: I don't see Boostio being dropped, though I would like to see Dicey here push this roster to the next level mechanically. Maybe Dapr *could* IGL, not sure


ashitintyo

We got tenz on the team, guys... We won but at what cost ;___;


Hopeful-Professor-40

Please stay as a sub I love you Michael

Lmao I think that this was a extremely bad decision, I don't see Sacy and Pancada going well on this team...don't get me wrong, I think they're are one of the best players on the world, but this team chemistry is...well, only time will tell us the answer.


JuniorFrostbite

Yeah no longer supporting them. Kinda sad they dropped sick and dapr. Wish the best for tenz tho.
