@@SufyaanDewanit’s one match they have been horrible before this and that was a terrible GenG they beat. I know Sen fans want hope but atleast wait till another match
It is an understatement if we say yhis champs is competative while watching a team like GenG getting grouped . GenG are the #1 team in their region (APAC) and also won one master and was a runner-up in the other one . Man this is the best year so far for pro Valorant. Fragging IGLs , teams with different meta pick and antistats while playing your best games made this year a memorable one.
I dont think its a stretch to say that GenG WAS the BEST TEAM IN WORLD prior to champs, they were one of the if not the most dominant team in the 2 masters
@@Zenith_1234nah they are. imagine getting top 2 at the least while being dominant and winning their region? nobody has done that consistently. So yea theyre the best and were heavily favored to win this event.
those two dominant wins in the lower bracket of group stage really set up SEN to win it all honestly. their form significantly improved, a lot of confidence going into the playoffs and realistically the best draw imaginable. TH really placed first in the group of death to get a wayyy worse draw
It's not completely unbelievable that SEN is better when they've had all season to Anti-strat players and borrow other people's meta-strats, especially since they've been running the bad deadlock comp before now. But I'm not put too much stock in it until they actually prove they can do it against more than one team.
I was thinking the same thing. I expect upper finals from Sentinels minimum, which at worse makes them top 3. Very lucky draw, just goes to show how important seeding can be.
Great breakdown. Also glad you pointed out that GenG was not playing bad. I know people were shitting on GenG. They played well but SEN played better and had better reads.
Exactly, like I get GEN.G didn't play good, but it is not simply because they had an off day, that is not how these top-tier teams work. SEN made them look bad because of the round-by-round preparation that they did. I saw TMV literally looking so frustrated, it was so obvious what he was thinking, the guy is just a straight up sen hater
@@sarthakrajan2387 tmv sucks man, he's become so biased which is a horrible trait for analysis content that should be unbiased, he's gotten worse overtime at analysis, he constantly takes away credit from the winning team. I stopped following that loser ages ago
@@343JustMe Like I remember watching the lotus b kj ult fake which sideshow mentioned here, which I think was pretty well cooked except for the time pressure. It was lakia who held his ground to stop the fake and instead of appreciating lakia for his play, he said it was a horrendous mistake by sen. I remember even Sean gares saying how intuitive was John's calling with that kj ult and appreciated his efforts.
On a real note, these analysis are so enjoyable. Generally, analysis channels focus on the execs, strats etc. But Mr. Eggman helps to understand the importance of player impact and 1 v 1s at a higher level.
Crazy to me that people were really saying 100T should have made it to champs over SEN. To be fair nobody could have known that SEN would turn up like this when it mattered most, but it’s also nuts that most players and content creators had them as “overrated” or getting grouped when they’ve proven that they can be the best in the world
Actually it's good though when they were voted as overrated. I mean being a favourite creates big pressure. It's good to see sentinels play without pressure and expectation.
27:10 Sacy trying to break the Breakable Door, was a big reason, T3xture got caught, He was Holding for the peek out from Breakable Door didn't feel comfortable in that position, wanted to back up, ZEKKEN peeks and shts on T3xture
So I havent actually been the og fan of sideshow i have beeen playing val since 2021 and i never tuned in for a podcast or a video i used to watch airen (sovereign guides recently) and tmv and random videos but i gotta say i genuinely believe sideshow is one of if not my go to favourite analyst i mean i started tuning in when the tenz video got recommended to me but ever since then i have been hooked its nice to see sideshow praising sen when they do good and actually giving them credit and still criticize when they are playing poorly GOAT
The biggest takeaway I had when watching the game was that Sentinels were PROACTIVE at getting map control and information. I swear the first time they played GenG, it just seemed like they were playing like G2 wannabe's half the time and it did not work for them. They play so much better when they are decisive
Yeah, that's why they were so good at the beginning of the year, they were taking map control and gathering information, while also anchoring sites and not over rotating
@@hiteshgujarathi4636 yeah, their play style in the start was great, but I think they were being countered the longer they ran that play style and that's why they decided to change things up slightly, which obviously didn't work out great for them and now they went back to their normal play style and they look good
@@gpfhantom1890i wonder why their normal playstyle worked again, considering in stage 1 it got countered hard by EG and LEV, or did they have a different playstyle that time
@@krizos5305 I think it works better in the International stage over teams from Americas. Since they play regionals so much, it's bound to be countered, especially by a coach like Potter. Kind of like GENG, didn't look great in Split 1 in APAC, but were absolutely frying in Shanghai
I kept telling chat when this was happening that Sen was just playing lights out valorant and that GenG weren’t selling. These two games Sen played were arguably some of the best valorant per round in back to back games they’ve ever played. And you could see it on stage. They were celebrating with each other but no one was standing up, just a couple fist bumps, a couple shouts here and there and they kept it rolling. Stayed locked in. They looked like a squad that was there to do a job and man did they absolutely dismantle GenG. If they play like that the rest of the tournament they’re beating everyone.
Finally! But you haven't even reviewed the better map LMAO. Also, can we please acting like TenZ is a slouch and this is an one off game from him? Dude was as good as Zekken in their madrid run including crucial games against NRG, LOUD and LEV in Americas kickoff. He had a 1.12 rating before champs which is the 3rd highest in Americas despite him playing flex roles and not playing a single duelist agent in the whole year. Even when SEN was playing poorly TenZ always held down his own. Dude was winning every 1v1 iso ult against fkin Cryo and they still lost to 100T that map. TenZ is not a stat player, his impact doesn't show up in the stats because he would rather make gutsy plays to have a chance on winning the round than just sit back and farm kills. TenZ diffed karon before. It's not a miracle that he won that 1v1 against karon that you pointed out. This is no glaze.
I missed that last shot by TenZ completely because of how fast everything was executed. You know the executions were well done when the follow-up util kills the player regardless of a great shot or not.
He was thinking about eating them dumplings that's why genG threw, texture wanted to eat them dumplings and watch his favorite team win it all go sen nation
although im v happy everyone is congratulating sen on their achievement and are recognizing them as the great players they are when they lock in i cant help but be worried this will all result in one big collective jinx lol
12:12 he calls out the 3 guys who clutches a lot but as far as I've seen this champions especially against SEN munchkin was the clutch king. he forcably won so many rounds all by himself and didn't even get mentioned SADGE
They don't even need our rates, only haters blaming and trash talking them. How good or bad is Sen we all know and their true fans now. They don't wait for the compliments, they just try and do their best
Yeah when they lost to GenG it was "SEN IS TRASH THEYRE SO BAD HOLY" and when they beat GenG people are like "GenG just had a bad game today nt kings" They dont give credit to SEN which is hilarious in my book.
ngl idk what happened specifically to Gen G but holy both team heretics and sentinels made them look like bots. Sentinels are my favorite team but as a korean myself gen g definitely holds a spot in my heart. I hope they get it together and come back next tourney strong af, but they just looked very out of it this tourney.
Sen v TH imo g2 are the overrated ones they are good don’t get me wrong but they are known chokers and loses to any team like sen and TH on a good day tbf I see g2 losing to lev if tex and aspas just feel it
I tell everyone sen holding back so they can eliminate the best team, Geng. Also I noticed sen underperforming which is crazy because they had dominating performance in Madrid. No way they throw on purpose unless they’re true goal is winning Champions all in all by looking like a washed up team and sukerpunching every team along the way. 2 more matchup and they’ll make it to the final and win it all.

@@effluxi9587 its kinda naive to think the only reason SEN won against Gen.G is their prep. There were alot of other factors
@@effluxi9587? they did it against 2 plus they said they hardy focused on anti. They just went back to meta comps and are so much better
FPX overcooked and Gen.G fumbled under the pressure. Winning the first 3 rounds of every half is not something they can replicate.
I was thinking the same thing. I expect upper finals from Sentinels minimum, which at worse makes them top 3. Very lucky draw, just goes to show how important seeding can be.
You explain things so well dude ur such a good analyst
And a great speaker in general. It feels like a presentation carefully calculated and practiced 20 times but he definitely didn't do that.
He and Bren are goats for real. I actually think Doug is really good too. I miss balla. They’re all fantastic analysts in my opinion.
Great breakdown. Also glad you pointed out that GenG was not playing bad. I know people were shitting on GenG. They played well but SEN played better and had better reads.
On round 8, Sen actually ran a play with the smoke+tp mentioned @21:00. Then on round 9, Sen did a fake version of that play
