An ace statement win in Map 1 gave Sentinels the grand entry into the playoffs. If the reactions on the web were to be an indication, people have been going crazy. The official SEN Twitter account dropped an epic tweet: “SEN TAKE MAP 1 IN PLAYOFFS,” and the replies? Anarchy. The whole Valorant community got accused of cheating, and Zekken was crowned as the untouchable duelist.
So what transpired? For starters, Zekken apparently went nuclear. More of the replies talked about that performance, with a player joking, “stop zekken, hes cheating.” Another one said “best duelist rn,” and truly, after that showing, it is hard to argue otherwise. Neon and Zekken were popping so hard that another fan requested SEN to “INCREASE JOHNQT’S SALARY RIGHT NOW.” Yeah, that kind of game.
Not everybody was cheering. A few salt baits tried to mute the hype: “SEN just keep botfragging. 0% headshot rate. Absolute bots.” Another one: “Rigged for money… Or ratings.” Classic compromise, eh? The feeling was overwhelmingly ones of immeasurable hype, like “from Iran, in the glimpse of war, still watching this masterpiece” kind of hype.
The Sunset map appeared questionable as a pick from the opposition, at least according to one reply: “what were they thinking picking sunset?” Ouch. With Zekken having 401 ACS (yeah, you read that right) and the coordination of the team, SEN made it so easy! Even the trolls now had to acknowledge it with one sarcastic reply, “Already more maps than G2🔥🔥💀.”
Let’s dig some more into the regional dirt, shall we? Another player posted “Learn how to shoot and don’t mess with the Chinese goats. China >>> NA!!!🇨🇳🇨🇳” only to have a reply fired back, “Stay mad, 2-0 incoming.” The tension? Palpable. The drama? Delicious.
In the end, Sentinels/The SENSETstans are high. “masterclass players,” “we’ve never been so back” sums up the rough mood. For days or for a ride, this playoff run is going to be a must-watch Valorant video.
Should we jump into Map 2?
