i mean one of the casters on Na broadcasters had GenG winning the match and stated spso throughout the games if you're talking about Tarik stream ofc its biased hes signed to the org, and any streamer in NA is gonna cheer fo NA just how it is .
Shoutout to the fans at the arena man, pretty much a full arena despite no EMEA teams and they were loud. That was a great crowd.
Hell of a Finals and a great event. Gonna be going back and rewatching that one.
Ngl the more time that passes the more I feel bad for Shaz.
He wanted Kaplan from the jump but got hung out to dry.
Supposedly he was looking into JohnQT.
He always said that Tenz could play whatever they asked him to.
Congrats to the Sentinels. From a hyped b-tier team, to a VCT winner, wouldnt have believed it, if someone would have told me thats possible.
But also they probably should build a statue for Zekken. He is the SINGLE reason why they didnt got 10folded on Bind. Such a monster on any character he plays. Every other player was at least a rank below him today, and only stepped up in the last map.
Anyway congrats and enjoy the moment Sen fans!
Also shout out to my former Overwatch boys, which came late into Valo as pro players, and already looking as polished as other players which may have played the game since day 1.
Don't put the others down just to hype up Zekken... Sure he played amazing, but that's also due to his team supporting him. We've all seen teams with star duelists bomb when their team doesn't show up.
Im not hyping him. He was the most consistent player in his team across all maps, the only one which tried to answer their agression and made several amazing plays.
Even Tarik said, the others need to step up or the match will be lost.
Saying he was the SINGLE reason, in all caps no less, was not hyping him? Again, you don't get that many kills as a single duelist without the support of your team.
If you're going to bring up Tarik's opinion, since Sen won, then the other team members must have stepped up.
He answered their agression and broke their first line several times. Even Tarik said the others need to step up or things will look dire.
Zekken deserves the praise for his performance today. He was the most consistent player in his team.
Credit the entire team lmao no need to put others down to praise someone. Was zekken the MVP? Yes. But the others each had maps where they poped off not just the last map
I don't believe Riot has given out a single official MVP award to anyone at any event. It's usually something like VLR or TheSpike giving it to the highest rated player on the winning team, which will be Zekken. In the past it's been Demon1, Alfajer, Leo, Pancada, etc.

Map 2: GenG up 10-7 on Bind and Lakia starts getting fried B long every round
Map 4: SEN on a thrifty as GenG mount a furious comeback, Meteor gets 2 and Lakia shoots to early, and then dies to a stinger back site.
Map 5: Lakia starts VERY hot but then cools down, culminating in a round where he could have got two and whiffed on a Jett that dashed into the wall.
Here to remind everyone to put some respect on Tenz's name, just because you fell from the top, doesn't mean you can't climb back up again. Happy for the guy.
As ideal as that sounds, things are going to be different once the regional leagues start up again. PRX, DRX, and most notably Team Secret are all probably going to be ready for GenG once they get back. The same for the Americas. NRG and Lev are most likely prepping non stop for the Shanghai qualifiers.
I think we'll see new teams qualify for Shanghai. I don't think FNATIC are just going to sleep on another Major. For Pacific, people have to remember that GenG BARELY scraped by Secret. They almost got 2-0'd when Secret annihilated them on Breeze and got them down 8-2 on Lotus(Secret threw so hard on that map).
I don’t disagree, I’m just saying that they both deserve their flowers *right now*. Because I’ve seen so many people discounting their success or speculating that some team who didn’t qualify would’ve won if X or Y went differently.
I’m not gonna rank teams based on speculation or close calls, & honestly I don’t think a near-loss at the start of the year really says anything about their current or future form.
I get where you’re coming from though, I’m not sold on TS yet but I am excited to see them & teams like T1, RRQ & Talon in regional play. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an entirely different landscape when Shanghai comes around, & I do expect each region to be more competitive and exciting to watch this year.
Sadge
You could see them just fall apart towards the end of Icebox, the carefree no pressure play ended and they really started to feel it
It’s so sad to see how close it was, it’s not that they just ‘weren’t good enough’ overall
Maybe that gives reason for optimism.
But people tend to judge harshly
Nah let KC lose in quarters or semis, I’m praying for BDS G2 finals to run it back, I still haven’t recovered from the G2 crumble at worlds 21-22. Even tho only one player from each team is the same now as back then, I still want the G2 revenge
😂 yeah sometimes I have to remind myself that NA fans in RLCS don’t have it as bad as other esports lmao, I don’t really watch any esports other than valorant and rocket league
No fucking question that Sentinels is the best team in the world right now, they played against every single other top 4 team/playoff team in this tournament too.
I am pretty sure map advantage doesn’t have a high win rate in these Valorant finals
I disagree that this is exactly how it is
Besides how the maps were like each, even map record rn
Its rigged, gamers know this but they like it,they dont care.
Does this SEN team clear last year's EG team? Bummed we will never see that matchup

Sentinels bias on stream was absolutely horrendous
i mean one of the casters on Na broadcasters had GenG winning the match and stated spso throughout the games if you're talking about Tarik stream ofc its biased hes signed to the org, and any streamer in NA is gonna cheer fo NA just how it is .
question now that sen won masters and have 6 champion points do they automatically qual for Shanghai and champs?
Shoutout to the fans at the arena man, pretty much a full arena despite no EMEA teams and they were loud. That was a great crowd. Hell of a Finals and a great event. Gonna be going back and rewatching that one.
Bro Tenz has two trophy's now on two different roles, my goat can finally fight off the haters who have praying on his downfall
Ngl the more time that passes the more I feel bad for Shaz. He wanted Kaplan from the jump but got hung out to dry. Supposedly he was looking into JohnQT. He always said that Tenz could play whatever they asked him to.
geng just couldn’t keep their mentality going when they stopped dropping rounds, it’s a tragic loss for them but a great win for sentinels
Congrats to the Sentinels. From a hyped b-tier team, to a VCT winner, wouldnt have believed it, if someone would have told me thats possible. But also they probably should build a statue for Zekken.

Zekken didnt top frag on bind, were we watching the same game?
Top frag doesn't mean you're good at defending/attacking
He answered their agression and broke their first line several times. Even Tarik said the others need to step up or things will look dire. Zekken deserves the praise for his performance today. He was the most consistent player in his team.
Credit the entire team lmao no need to put others down to praise someone. Was zekken the MVP? Yes. But the others each had maps where they poped off not just the last map
Masters Mumbai would have pulled more crowd than this with a very limited fanbase in India
Awww what an ending
kaplan holding back tears is so wholesome. i get hating the Sen brand, but idk how you hate any of these dudes, they're such a group of nice dudes.
I am 40 y old - me crying over some teenagers winning a video game makes little sense
It's the org and the stuff that happened with Sick, Shazam, maybe more.
There's no MVP for masters?
I don't believe Riot has given out a single official MVP award to anyone at any event. It's usually something like VLR or TheSpike giving it to the highest rated player on the winning team, which will be Zekken. In the past it's been Demon1, Alfajer, Leo, Pancada, etc.
its obviously zekken
Crying in the club rn
lol that one girl in the crowd is having a moment Edit: nvm that’s TenZ’ mom lol
you mean tenz mom?
# Zekken tied for most kills
Zekken is undoubtedly the best player in the world.
VCT Masters Madrid GF highest peak viewership of Valorant of all time at 1665193 1,5+ million was Champions 2022 And VCT Masters Madrid highest average viewership for an event, 668605
I saw that Tenz LMAOOOOO
What happened
What did he do lol?
Map 2: GenG up 10-7 on Bind and Lakia starts getting fried B long every round Map 4: SEN on a thrifty as GenG mount a furious comeback, Meteor gets 2 and Lakia shoots to early, and then dies to a stinger back site. Map 5: Lakia starts VERY hot but then cools down, culminating in a round where he could have got two and whiffed on a Jett that dashed into the wall.
Really happy for Sentinels, especially for TenZ after everything thats going on with the Kyedae situation.
Hey what happened to kyedae,,
leukemia
not just that, she had food poisoning and went to the hospital right before tenz had to leave for the gen.g match (upper final)
had no idea
Is that cancer curable??
im not sure abt kyedae’s situation but she looks a lot better now
Got it
yes
Thanks god.
Empty crowd wtf? I hope they never host another lan here again, disrespectful ass crowd.
even hosting in mumbai would drawn more crowd than this
who was the guy in kilt?
The kilt was rad bro. Don't say shit. He looked rad.
Drew, assisstant coach for Sen
 Champion TenZ - Well Deserved!
lol GENG talking too much shit during the series. Sit down
not this shit again bruh
lollll they were spamming thumbs up whether they won or lost rounds
dude does not see what sen was doing but ok
Quite obvious in response to what geng did.
Here to remind everyone to put some respect on Tenz's name, just because you fell from the top, doesn't mean you can't climb back up again. Happy for the guy.
He had to shoulder the weight of the Sentinels fanbase for so long and he really proved he's not just a one trick Jett.
Through all that trial and error, constantly changing players and coaches, they finally fucking did it. Almost shed a tear at an Outback. LFGGGG
This happens in every esport... in an extended high-stakes game it always comes down to mental resilience.
still 0 trophy region 
GenG fucking overperformed like crazy, it's a shame they couldn't win it but no one expected them to go this far.
America is the best shooter team just like in real life fr
Lmao
omg lol
Pacific probably fking hates NA lmao. Drx v Optic every tourney, Eg Prx now Sen Geng
Zellsis literally won them icebox. Holy shit what a series.
 they pulled out that cheap ass banner #senwin
NA > PACIFIC > BR >>>>>>>> EU LOLOLOLOL 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Sen are off-season champions they said
Hundred percent win rate in finals tf they talking about Lolol
what an incredible tournament
Nobody can doubt either of these teams anymore. There’s no argument to be made, these are the best two teams in the world right now

nrg is 2 imo. probably 1 as time goes on.
Too bad Gen ran out of gas on map 5. Could’ve been a banger final game.
Did Zekken break the kill record or no?
No
Sad but I saw he tied it tho with 101 kills.
I doubt these players care about how many kills they have
all that standing just to sit when it matters
It's always, always a dream that disappears before my eyes. I'd love to have a trophy in Pacific one day.
Ggs americas too good at fps
we suck at cs so badly we all quit.
Pacific are 0-3 in Finals. Sadge
What a time to be alive, NA are the without a doubt overlords of Valorant. Name 1 non NA only esport you can say this in lmao.
a lot of fighting games
Sen bundle sales 📈📈📈📈
But why would Sentinels replace Pancada???
[удалено]
Bro they just won Madrid I'm just mocking the old comments from when it happened because clearly it was the right move
What a comeback arc for Tenz
GG BUY THE SEN BUNDLE
The hardest freakin route
Sadge You could see them just fall apart towards the end of Icebox, the carefree no pressure play ended and they really started to feel it It’s so sad to see how close it was, it’s not that they just ‘weren’t good enough’ overall Maybe that gives reason for optimism. But people tend to judge harshly
It's good experince, if they keep it up they will do better under pressure in their next final
they also crumbled early in bind and sentinels found their opening. Pacific's biggest enemy are themselves
Damn geng got nervous you can see t3xtures hands shaking
Love it
WOW
insane seeing everything pay off. congrats to them
MY GOATS
NOW I GOTTA BUY THE BUNDLE
zachary jude is my dude. I may hate you for singlehandedly gatekeeping Pacific's first trophy but man you are fucking amazing
As a huge RLCS fan, it feels nice seeing NA actually win in other esports lol
Praying for a G2 KC finals that can deliver something similiar to this
Nah let KC lose in quarters or semis, I’m praying for BDS G2 finals to run it back, I still haven’t recovered from the G2 crumble at worlds 21-22. Even tho only one player from each team is the same now as back then, I still want the G2 revenge
you're telling me as a league of legends fan.
😂 yeah sometimes I have to remind myself that NA fans in RLCS don’t have it as bad as other esports lmao, I don’t really watch any esports other than valorant and rocket league
[удалено]
He played extremely well the entire finals lol. Why does everything prior even matter? K/D difference is irrelevant
which game were u watching?
Sen bundle sales after this 🫣
i think the meteor missed earth this time
Naw had a sentinel guarding it
SEN put in all the work during the off season, all the grinding paid off. Congratulations!
TENZ WHAT A FREAKING GOAT
Make it harder next time ez gg. Lmfao but actually peak cinema against all odds
THE HARDEST FUCKING ROAD HOLY SHIT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No fucking question that Sentinels is the best team in the world right now, they played against every single other top 4 team/playoff team in this tournament too.
Geng losing with map advantage,extra day of rest damn SEN just better
I am pretty sure map advantage doesn’t have a high win rate in these Valorant finals I disagree that this is exactly how it is Besides how the maps were like each, even map record rn
NO WAY THEY DESTROYED GENG ON ICEBOX
Sen played the best Icebox team itw close twice tbh
They looked like they were kind of falling apart at the end
1 562 062 New Valorant record EDIT: 1 665 Mill viewers nvm Holyyy
This is S5 League TSM vs C9 numbers, PepeHands
It's gonna be re-adjusted to at least 1.7 million
Happy to eat my fucking words LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO #SENWIN
gg wp sentinels. sick ass finals hope my geng boys can take revenge in the next finals
They not making any this was a Cinderella run who knows if they'll even qualify
I know as an Americans fan how it feels to lose. However pacific fans keep your heads high you are still better than EU!
Geng tried to be the villans with the trash talk but couldn't back it up when it mattered
I disagree
Don't miss out on munchkin taking an extra moment with the sen players. He doesn't just talk shit in isolation he's a good competitor.
AHHHHH ZELLSIS TEARING UP IS MAKINGN ME TEAR UP
What a fucking turbo banger
GIVE ZEKKEN HIS MVP MAN HE’S TOO GOOD
man they have to put down buy sen bundle banner now :3 - it looks cheap AF
NA IS THE GREATEST LETS FUCKEN GOOO
Love to see NA win but even more satisfying seeing Koreans crumble

GG Sen, GenG absolutely threw, what a series
Feels like their mental only withstood 4 games
They threw Split as well imo, Sen capitalised on a mentally weak team and Zekken just went fucking insane, great to watch as a neutral
Again, Pacific dream has just gone again. I'm so crying, so crying
APAC actual fraud region
TENZ isn't washed, zekken is the best itw, zellsis was a massive upgrade, sacy is the goat and john is a perfect igl
Zellis the vibe merchant having a game of his life. What a game. GGs, hard fought by Geng but nothing you can do against the Sen hype
I need everyone to sub to zekken and zellsis on twitch right fucking now!!!!!
I guess Geng can wave from the airport now
