@@Junil_Peren Yep exactly NRG were trying to bait by having Jett dash away and run to market but they left Marved in mid. Maybe seemed a bit too obvious so alarm bells went off for johnqt to check for a lurker.

The amount of effort that goes into explaining the strategy these teams employ is easily the best I've seen on KZread. Some of my favorite Valorant content out there.

Definitely prefer a longer full match analysis over shorter ones as it makes me sit back and appreciate the mind games even more

This feels much better type of analysis than the ones where they just do round by round and just explain whats happening. Great video as always and would love if you cover any of the last games of masters Madrid as those were some crazy valorant being played. If possible try to make a video on how sentinels won the rematch against gengi in the finals.

Bro you're literally so underrated what?? Your videos are peak quality

Thank you for the analysis! So much quality in your insight that is super underrated!

Thank you for helping me understand the layers of the game, much more than just a shooter, a tactical shooter

Finally youtube recommended a good video this has so much information and I was interested after watching VCT Madrid

Honestly this video deserves a appreciation ❤❤

some of the most underrated valorant content on youtube, appreciate all you do for the community 🙏🏼

that was a great breakdown of that game, W video Mr Platoon o7

Awesome analysis

I feel like SEN has been improving EVERY SINGLE MAP... They keep coming up with anti strats and a lot of them are on the fly apparently which is crazy. Their synergy is unmatched rn and they did win Master Madrid and it was Absolute Cinema

Absolutely. Everyone has been praising their ability to adapt in the game and this match put that on full display. They did exactly the same thing during the Grand Finals against GenG. They kept adjusting their counterplays and GenG just slowly ran out of steam trying to keep up resulting in an out of sync and nervous GenG on map 5. Absolute Cinema for sure

great video, underrated, love the content, sub since 1.6k subs

22:20, I love how we can see the top level anti-strating on the individual level, for example: both zekken and johnqt (in his cam) turned the pop flash which is what eventually allows Sekken to spray down Demon1 while he is charging Sacy.

im not used to commenting because i don’t mainly speak english but i would really really would like to watch an analysis on the grand finals. i strongly believe that both sentinels and gen g deserved the win, i just would love to know how jhonqt was smarter enough to pull out the win with his strats, as well as gen g not being easy to play against to. as always amazing video, love your content🖤 greetings from Panamá!

I have never thought Valorant could be this deep. I watch Valorant only like a sport never played but it i know everything about the maps and game via watching this but i have never imagined that it could be that strategic

Could you make a video on “how” you watch VCT games critically and analytically? Topics like what aspects you pay more attention to, or what’s running through your head. Would make an interesting and informative video for the rest of us!

to think that they won masters now and they were only 2 rounds away from not even going, shows the questionable format tbh

Why can’t we just collectively agree that nrg are cracked? They are a team of champions it was going to be a hard game anyway! And they were serious contenders to win Masters , winning against them showed sentinels potential and that they are the more well adapted team tho I think they should have been in masters compared to some other teams

NRG if the kept fns som Victor crashies nd added demon1 it would be perfect team

I would appreciate a future analysis of the SEN vs GEN in the upper finals compared to grand finals.

I didn't see it mentioned in the comments anywhere, but the reason that demon1 was missing some of his shots and was off his game is because his fiance has health problems and had some complications before the match

Awesome content, great how you tell the entire story of such a back and forth match. I did however start to lose focus later on in the video, feeling like the back to back round coverage began to blur into each other, and I think I lost some of the significance of earlier rounds that I forgot about. I think if you summarized & highlighted certain trends and adjustments and grouped them together, (without going into as much detail in every round) I could appreciate them more. I do appreciate the attention to detail though, like when it comes to very specific angles / plays and even small misplays, (adjusting omen flash to hit on top of market box), and maybe would like to see that in a separate style video, like for example in similar format to your analyst application video.

LETS GO TYSON

It's no surprise that sentinels were a more structured team given the amount of pre-season practice they've had with each other. With that being said, the fact that NRG, given how weird they were playing still managed to test sentinels, the champions of Masters THAT hard is insane to me. When NRG find their confidence and synergy I have no doubt that they'll be a top 4 team in Americas. It's just a matter of IF they'll ever click that way. Much like the sentinels team, the pieces of a great team are already within NRG. They just have to make everything connect to become a champions level team

But that defeat also taught NRG a lot of things. It taught them to be more prepared and ready next time instead of choosing confidence over those preparations.

Wanted to say that Tyson was the one that called to stack 4 on A on the last round (said by Zellsis on his stream the day after they beat nrg)

Thanks for the callout! Sick read by him and commitment by the entire team.

BTW in a react video JohnQT has said that the stack on the last round at 24:50 as actually called by TenZ. All of them calls midround based on their intuition.

SEN look SOOOO good these days and it reflects in their results. Madrid is only the beginning.

wait this is so interesting actually

23:39 I dont think Johnqt checks this corner because of the previous rounds. What gave it away was Demon1 dashes for no reason in mid when there was no one mid. I think this sign was a hint that it could have been a bait. Because Zekken or Johnqt can hear the dash.

Villan era never looked this bad

BREAKDOWN FINALS SEN VS GEN

This aged well after SEN won Masters. SEN >>>>>>>>>

DO Sentinels vs GEN.G Grand finals next please ❤❤❤

Underrated match. I think NRG would have been good competition at Madrid. Too bad it was only 1 loss and your out.

i think a lot of why sen won was up to johnqts midrounding. some of the best adjustments i have ever seen from a pro team round to round, constantly growing and improving.

@Lapulga20-kick

3 ай бұрын

Plus Sentinels has so many backup calls from zellsis which makes Sentinels a far more creative team.

John and Tenz are brothers. They look similar, they play really well off of each other, and yet they still have their differences in gameplay and who they choose to main. Literal brothers

i think nrg has the potential to be the best valorant team and they only lost because of nrg's lack of experience (a very young team). so it's very exciting to see how they play the next stage!

In short Sen won through the power of friendship

LONGER GAME BREAKDOWN PLEASEEE

Why did you change the tittle, I loved the previous one

Longer Form W

Sen current roaster isn't as new as NRG one. But both are relatively new. Give NRG time and they are winning next champions. Who know we may as well see NRG vs SEN on grand finals ;)

Does anyone know about the background music that starts at 22:18

Huge sentinel fan, but this video just makes it clear that sentinels improved due to their roster playing so many times together (ofc strats too but Yknow). Their time in the off-season just made them so much more cohesive as a team. That literally gave them the edge over NRG who are a good team but are still finding that cohesiveness with each other.

reminds me of NRG vs LOUD on pearl, but instead u have midthan and not peakFNS

I mean let’s be honest tho, a lot of nrgs synergy mistakes were not small. Like it’s not a small margin in determining the round if people are overpeeking and throwing their lives away, it’s a lack of discipline and synergy.

Watching this live, I literally laughed saying wow, they're so smart in reading plays but fight like me trying to 1v5 every time! And I'm bronze! 😂😂 Even Tenz runs from unfair fights! Before every game, I have to keep reminding myself, don't be a hero, you have a team. Don't be a hero, you have a team. Then my team 1v5s anyway. bahaha!

and Sentinels have done it

i feel like NRG will be the best team in the world so much individual talent from each player and always have a good read on the game their only mistakes being communication which can easily be fixed with practice since that was their first match
