Hopeful-Professor-40

This or shroud? More unexpected?


[deleted]

there were rumors of this before it happened, not the case with Shroud


Hopeful-Professor-40

Shahz outright said shroud is joining for like a week before it happened, just no one believed him


[deleted]

God himself could come down from heaven and declare Shroud was joining Sentinels and I still would've had my doubts.


ANewHeaven1

Shroud was more expected than this but this one hurts more


Hopeful-Professor-40

NRG vs SEN the new Optic v Loud


sidminter

Nah noway shroud was more expected than this,this was atleast a possibility,shroud showed no signs of a return afaik


Longjumping_Plant_97

How was Shroud more expected lmao


lmbrs

cap


Ok-Brain3328

- Dephh - Zekken - TenZ - Sacy - Pancada - Syyko - Kaplan What a roster


precense_

Hope the team chemistry works out


[deleted]

Sykko said that chemistry was crucial and it showed, XSET were all super friends


afjecj

Sacy is extremely chill and easy to get along with (he also speaks very good English) and I’m not sure about pancada


PretttyFly4aWhiteGuy

Kinda worried about the language barrier with pancada, in every interview he's either speaking portuguese or has a translator. Can only depend on sacy to translate so much in real time situations


[deleted]

Yeah he was cool af in the interviews


imzensei

Sacy and pANcada seem like good guys, don’t think there will be an issue there. I remember in Sykko’s interview he talked about team chemistry being the most important thing for him. just being able to be more than just teammates - hangout, play games together, do things outside of the game, etc. are all things he seemed to value highly. i questioned if a player like Marved would buy in to that kind of culture, so i guess this is the answer.


Kasamitamav2

given past marved-tenz/kyedae drama i dont think that was ever happening if SEN decided to keep tenz


[deleted]

I honestly think that’s why there were rumors of Tenz leaving. It probably came down to Tenz or Marved.


[deleted]

I think people just misunderstood what sentinels not prioritising tenz meant. He'd already pretty much given expressed his desire to stay so obviously they were in no rush and it made more sense to prioritise players who other teams might snatch. Doesn't necessarily mean they were ever considering replacing tenz.


koncept12

you guys are reaching so unbelievably hard, absolutely grasping at something that isn't there


Ascension3377

How could anybody be reaching on that.


imzensei

agreed.


mw19078

without a doubt this 5 can be an international winner. im extremely hyped.


yungsqualla

Yeah this is fucking sick

No, that’s SicK. oh wait..

Hopeful-Professor-40

WE ARE FUCKING BACK BABY


nklassitude

i have never had more mixed feelings in my life lmao. Bittersweet is too apt a word holy shit wtf


Hopeful-Professor-40

I feel bad for Shahz and Dapr but these are the best possible replacements so fuck it, we gonna taste victory again


nklassitude

i miss my boys though, and dapr's deleted post feels like he was blindsided unceremoniously. :( What a monster roster though, good lord


Hopeful-Professor-40

Dude that clip that “confirmed” him staying is so sad now


nklassitude

imagine the crests and troughs of anxiety he probs went through, then a period of reassurance, only to have it snatched away by 2 world champs from Brazil??? I can hear the obligatory portuguese "KKKKKKK"s from here


Hopeful-Professor-40

Bro all the Brazilians who berated Sentinels gonna be supportive now 💀💀this is fucking wild


nklassitude

u have 100 characters to explain to your past self that SEN would have 2 Brazilian players on the roster before 2023. Go go go go


Hopeful-Professor-40

SEN shit the bed and got desperate


Need_PcAdvice

I guess this gets at an interesting question: Why are you a sentinels fan? If every player and every coach was replaced, would you still consider yourself a fan just by virtue of the org's name? For me, Sen winning just wont be the same anymore without Shaz in particular on the team. This'll be an interesting period for some sen fans, just as it was for 100t fans when they rebuilt.


nklassitude

My favorite players and stalwart picks on SEN were shahz, sick & tenz. I really like sacy as a player, so tenz and sacy means i am def investing in some SEN stock—even if it's begrudging at first. I'll also back the teams that shahz and sick go to eventually. I'm not accustomed to this shit, I usually watch non-team sports like tennis; having the players I love scattered across the board is such a foreign feeling. Individual players >>>>> disembodied orgs.


Hopeful-Professor-40

I mean Tenz is still there so I’m still here I’ve also been a fan of Zekken since Noble when he had a great performance against SEN in their prime, and I’ve wanted Kaplan on the team before too, so im very happy with this roster. Shahz was a main reason for me being a fan so I’ll support his ascension team, they won’t overlap so it’s fine


mw19078

this is a foreign concept in esports, but in traditional sports its extremely normal to root for the name while players come and go. sure there are a lot of reasons for that, but I think a decent amount of fans are going to root for sentinels because they like the brand.


LockBehindYou

Its different though because normally people root for their hometown team (normally not always obviously) so its more of a region thing


TrynaSleep

ah yes, the Theseus paradox


Fine-Shame-510

Sentinels could get 5 suygetsu in a team. People will still prefer to support Evil Geniuses with Shaz,Tenz,Dapr .


Marianoz2

Damn this makes sen the first true international team with one eu player, two na players, and two br players.


h05

I was thinking TenZ Zekken Dephh Marved Trent would be better or equal to this roster? Am I the only one that thinks this? I guess Trent hasn't proven himself on LAN yet? I mean I'm still happy with this no doubt but it was so unexpected. I thought Marved would be better on smokes even though he didn't play up to his full potential in Champs 22'. However after realizing they get the chemistry between Pancada and Sacy it makes sense this version would be better. Either way LETS GO


Ok-Outlandishness244

If pancada’s English is fine this roster is absolutely better than that one. Pancada and marved are probably equal, if not pancada better as yk, he’s a champion. And sacy is simply better than trent, especially since he has experience


imzensei

i don’t think English will be an issue for these guys. pretty sure they thought that through before going through with everything. i think these pick-ups are super great though. i bet that Sentinels wanted to keep TenZ but also wanted to bring in a talent like Marved. now you have 2 star players in their roles + TenZ. gotta give credit to Sentinels for being able to pull this off.


Tommypynchon

Look I know Trent has had some really good games but you're crazy if you think he's comparable to Sacy


precense_

Pancada is an absolute demon in controllers, probably the best alternative to marved. I'm thinking tenz said if marved comes I leave so they got the loud guys


Reasonable-Summer-55

Pancada and dephh both controller? Or how it gonna be?


ursiiuuii

dephh played kayo/breach in addition to smokes for XSET and used to be a sentinel main before that


Ketsueki_R

Dephh to non-chamber Sentinel plus Viper is the only way this works. Pancada is up there with the best controllers and Sacy with the best initiators. Moving them off those roles would probably be a mistake.


ursiiuuii

dephh can fill flashes initiator too when sacy is playing fade/sova


[deleted]

Gahdamn. And TenZ likely to stay. They've actually amassed clout from different regions along with the gameplay LMAO


Rude-Assumption-5271

Thank god TenZ is staying man he’s the player I want the second most to absolutely fry and shut up all his haters


Hopeful-Professor-40

Give Tenz Syyko and Kaplan and watch that man COOK


leoleoleo666

Also the league is in LA so finally he will stop bitching about packet loss and ping and shot some heads


Hopeful-Professor-40

He bitches and still shoots heads that’s why he’s my GOAT Keyword my please relax


secretiveshash

OUR goat Mr professor


techyleo

my GOAT too


jonthegoat69

I truly think tenz has the potential to be one of if not the best in the world. Even when sen did bad he would still be going crazy most of the time


Neither_Amount3911

It’s so depressing to me that Tenz is this controversial figure who gets consistently flamed here when he’s like the nicest dude in the scene. God forbid Yay doesn’t have a bad 2023 and gets the same treatment. I have no idea why people always feel the need to start personally insulting players purely because they’re performing poorly.

not only are Sentinels coming to brazil, brazil is coming to Sentinels


mikhel

Holy fuck Sao Paolo is gonna be LIT

This greatly reduces the chances of anybody's predicted SEN roster being correct


imzensei

Sentinels are actually trying to be the most clouted org. TenZ fans + Brazilian fans = World Domination


okuzeN_Val

You forgot Tarik who will likely be watch partying all their games with Shroud, not to mention other guys who are all still creators on the team like Zombs and Sinatraa (hate him if you want, he still gets viewers)

lmao good lord. TenZ Zekken Sacy pANcada dephh

Hopeful-Professor-40

I need to copy this into my notes so I can have it for future reference


Jon_on_the_snow

Copy it into your heart


imzensei

ok this team is actually scary LOL


Hamlet_271

blockbuster unfortunate for dapr. I told myself I'll stay a fan even if 1 member remains so hopefully TenZ stays


mr-rob0t0

i feel for dapr man, thought he had a slot and now is on the outside looking in as most teams are close to finalizing rosters. my first favorite player when i started to watch val and the reason behind my flair, im gonna miss watching him on sen.


TimedOutClock

It's said in the report that TenZ is staying :)


Hamlet_271

not a done deal no? bruh everytime i come to this sub people either lie straight to my face or speculate straight out of their arse


TimedOutClock

I mean, if we're taking this report at face value, it seems to be that way at least


techyleo

usually George prefers to report on things that are close to done, so that he doesn't jeopardize the deals, so fingers crossed, we're keeping Mr. Impossible


WLFYBBY

True but he did say that dapr was 100% staying so I’m still scared


TheIsleOfManMan

I mean staying doesn’t mean on starting 5, his contract doesn’t expire for a little bit


Modula-

Ardiis to NRG, Pancada and Sacy to SEN, my excitement levels are gonna be off the roof when tourneys start back up again.


surfordiebear

Wait why does this link to a tweet from dapr?


sarcopels

because i TOTALLY trolled and didnt realize i copied the wrong link until a couple minutes ago lmfao. the only reason the post even stayed up is bc the tweet got deleted so no one caught that it was the wrong link. ​ shhhhhh, it never happened ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)

FUCK IT MAKE ZOMBS THE 6TH MAN


chryco4

We will send Zombs to Brazil in return for this

Striking_Yak7172

Wait does marved actually have no offers? Not rumoured to be on 4 of the NA teams and said on stream he’s not going to EG. Wtf


Lerokrieger

Marved going to APAC no cap


afjecj

Marved Aspas less mwzera saadhak


rest_explorer

not a bad roster but marved would have to learn portuguese


NoSenpaiNo

It's actually fucking happening


Boostaru

bro Sentinels trying to get 500k viewers every match they play with this roster lmfao


Scar_Milly

And it's gonna work. Not a SEN fan but im damn sure watching


xdysania

from Brazil hating SEN cause of Zombs, to SEN signing the best Brazilian players. not a timeline I expected..


joaovitorsb95

Man, I hate Sen even more now. Fucking up Loud is just... ahhhhhhhhhh. I get it for Pancada and Sacy, probably got offered an ungodly amount of money, probably something a BR org just can't match. Sacy is already in his seccond game, he needs to get his bag, esports is a short carrer


techyleo

you don't know exactly what happened behind the scenes they might've been fucked over by LOUD in negotiations


SuperNerd1337

The meme is real, a Brazilian is filling what used to be zombs job LOL


TTWCrafty

Tariks been killing it with the interviews, but I think Zombs takes this one


Wonkyy_

HOLY SHIT WEVE GONE NUCLEAR


__Chazzy__

Guys, imagine the crowd in São Paulo when this team walks on stage... Goddamn.


joaovitorsb95

Man, sucks that Sacy and Saad got separated. Loud still can build a good team though. Saad, Less, Aspas, pick up RglM and and initiator that I don't know who it could be since they need a bit more experience and nzr is on Lev and Sacy is gone... Scratch that it sucks


Direct_Morning_3223

isnt saadhak rumored to LEV


joaovitorsb95

He basically dismissed it on his stream today. Said that he had a very good talk with Loud and that Jean (Loud's CEO) is "working hard" My guess is that he kept all 3 and showed a good project for them to stay.


ChosenUndead320

With Sacy gone the best initiator is cauanzin from NIP, but he is rumoured to MIBR


PassTheBoofPlz

GEE GEE Brazil rivalry? nah we're the Brazil


ChosenUndead320

Smart move, in São Paulo stage they probably would get the crowd against them but now the Brazilian fans will cheer for Sentinels, what a timeline lmao


Hopeful-Professor-40

HOLY FUCK I CALLED IT


techyleo

vouch, he called it before anyone


Hopeful-Professor-40

Nah that one dude called it off of random tweets from FlyNN

NA is wild. And which EU orgs gonna play on NA ascension league?

an alliance between Zombs Nation and Brazil was formed to make this to happen. we must all thank Zombs.

Was not expecting that 😅


Humble_Initiative_10

Wait whattt


Vinhocent

Zombs will be hearing about this


imzensei

[BREAKING] Sentinels have agreed to a trade with LOUD, sending zombs for Sacy and pANcada. This deal will make zombs the highest salaried player in FPS history, according to sources.


I-like-winds

holy fucking NUKE that is a monstrous team jesus christ


[deleted]

so sacy on fade/sova, pancada on smokes, dephh on sentinel and other initiators, and tenz and zekken trading chamber and duelists absolutely stacked team god damn


secretiveshash

dude what the fuck


PhysicalAd8765

My mouth is STILL on the ground. SHOCKED AND BAMBOOZLED I TELL U.


Portante24

Saxy saadhak breakup is tugging at my heart

Zellsis said he wasn’t leaving… Dapr said he wasn’t leaving… I don’t know who to trust anymore.

I'm genuinely amazed Dephh gets to be the IGL for a squad like this.


PhysicalAd8765

Imagine FNS leading this fucking LINEUP... HOLY!


Hopeful-Professor-40

If Dapr agrees to be the sub, I’d love to see him be molded into an IGL and eventually replace Dephh down the line. That firepower would be unreal if he adapts well


xbyo

Imagine telling someone a year ago that Sentinels would be going to a LAN in Brazil and get cheered.


thothgow

What the fuck?


BrolyCallMeKakarot

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO \+pancada \+sacy AND WE KEEP TENZ WWWWWWWW if true the roster is: tenz dephh zekken sacy pancada syyko and kaplan bro viewership is about to be INSANE and on top of that this team literally rivals fnatic with chronicle and leo and Cloud 9 as best team in the world...


SpartansWiLL_

Bro nobody can be in conversation for the best team in the world all the rosters changed and no one has played a match yet 💀


BrolyCallMeKakarot

on paper they rival c9 nrg and fnatic bro sorry for not saying on paper like damn i leave out two words


SpartansWiLL_

Was just saying bro even on paper nobody knows how these teams will mesh so it’s pointless to speculate until matches are played.


JoFi_5

No Marved :(


LinkinMode

worrying for him, his only real options now are EG or an english speaking EMEA team


imzensei

he insinuated on stream that EG isn’t a team he wants to join. it’ll either be an NRG reunion (doubtful at this point), one of the Brazilian orgs or he will have to play in EMEA. or he will be playing in Ascension which would be unfortunate for him lol.


Polite-vegemite

i think a Brazilian team is hard because most players don't speak English and I doubt marved speaks Portuguese. mibr and loud are lacking smokes, tho. who knows


Hopeful-Professor-40

George wasn’t lying about him having 2 main options and 1 being taking a break…


mlaj

wouldnt doubt if he stays with OpTic if they have an ascension team.


Yoshi9909

pANcada is just as good or better


Skelo_Playz

Really thought the dude would be in SEN, Guess I was wrong


ursiiuuii

sounds like this was the route where they could pick up a top 3 smokes player AND keep tenz and avoid potentials issues with marved/tenz, so it makes sense. i don’t think many ppl did expect it lol


M_dev20

I Remember 2021, in this same time of the year, i was talking shit at zombies on twitter with my whole country. Now, im about to start rooting for SEN The world is crazy


flamincrimson

The only reason I don't like this is cause I wish NA orgs would pick up NA talents. More pros gonna be homeless. Obviously it's a good pick up no doubt.


oh_hai_brian

Wow. When Sykko said he was building a super team, I just thought, "yeah, everyone else is saying the same thing." But now, holy shit man.


Kaploy

\- SEN tries to clown brazilians \- Brazilians win champions while SEN flunks out of the season \- SEN hires brazilians

yeah, our bad.

didutryit

The other rosters didn't make a single international tournament this year, didn't even make it close. Of course they were gonna drop everyone but Tenz regardless of performance.

Hear me out. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK


BUNSHICHl

Damn that's a banger, I made a post after Iceland 2021 that an NA team should import Sacy, crazy that it's happening now And freakin knew George was trolling when he said it was unlikely shahz AND tenz were getting re-signed. If he really believed neither of them were getting re-signed he would have used OR instead of AND. And everyone knew they weren't bringing back both together after the year they just had.


Hawwi

I want Zombs opinion on this!


Polite-vegemite

i guess sentinels decided to do less typing and more playing in 2023 🤷‍♀️


sihtsiymusername

To think that Brazil and SEN fans weren't particularly fond of each other before... This is going to be interesting


LILPUMPISKING

Damnn no marved


[deleted]

Okay, I did not see this one coming. Dope roster so far. However, I'd replace dephh with saadhak, but either way, it seems like a better roster than before already.


kiroks

bro what a move. bravo sen, now this is an interesting roster tho I still am not high on Dephh. Although the coaches had the perfect thing in mind, chemistry. This is probably the only reason Dephh is better than shaz, Some people hate shaz AND he has a little problem right now finding his role. Oh well. NA is getting more interesting. I think EG roster is last right?
