      I don't think tenz is the type to coach. Of course he's way better than the average player but
      1. he's still young so he can play pro for probably another half a dozen years
      2. usually coaches are former igls (players like fns and ange1 are quite old but are really good with the games knowledge and are likely to become coaches in the future)
      He's a duellist player while players like fns, saadhak and ange1 are all controller or initiator players which allows them to have more knowledge of the game and be able to guide their team.

    If a gold-plat player makes calls who understand fundamentals and concepts really well, people would just call bullshit. But once Tyson explains it, it's no longer a bad play. Also, if you're a solo ranked player trying to IGL, and your teammates don't listen to your calls, it's not your fault they didn't listen or understand what you're trying to do.

I think I was voicing my own experience when I was in the lower ranks, trying to make the "correct plays" and just getting frustrated that my team doesn't understand what I'm trying to do as a controller/initiator for them. rank lacks a lot of coordination, I always com with my team but it's not always successful, so I just end up playing and adapting to how my team plays.

      Ranked is very different from coordinated play, especially at lower levels. I'm the same type of IGL type player, but realistically a big part of solo q ranked is being adaptable and reading the flow of the game. Rigid concepts that are good when everyone understands the game works well the higher u go, but even in higher level ranked games will often be a shitshow or incredibly smooth cause ppl understand their roles. If you want to climb u just have to not leave it in the hands of your teammates. Make calls and hope they listen, if they don't then focus on playing your own game.

    He did great giving ideas to people on how to use their utilities and explaining the purpose of things or why you should do things, but the problem is most people dont know how to play properly, like poepl just knows a set of utilities where and how to put utilities but not understanding much why they should do it, and when time comes where its not applicable, they still do the same shit thats why that set of utilities is now useless but they programmed themselves to do those things and they think if they do it they think they've done their job,
    For an example,
    As a smoke on defense side, smokes should be reactive, it means you only use smoke after you have info, except omen since his smoke can generate over time, thats why its okay for omen to put up a 1 way smoke at the start of the round without worries, unless a site had too many choke points and the enemy is rushing, so you could only smoke another one since your other smoke is still in cooldown, and now you know the enemy tram likes to rush then next round dont use smoke immediately, its simple thinking and easy to understand right, apply it to other stuff too, another example is sova,
    Sova is an initiator, and his utility is made to assist team on getting info and literally could use utility to entry (drone) and Tenz is right you should be the most talkative, comms everything you want to do, like "im gonna scan back site, or in post plant you can call "i have ult for post plant" or "let me drone first and go with my drone". As a sova you need to let your team that they need to use you, if they ask for scan then go, if they called for positions of enemy utilities you can shock dart it next round, theres a lot of things you can do to "SUPPORT"/"ASSIST"
    And considering solo ranked, not everybody will do what you want or do the calls you said, they are not used to reacting to calls, but in the end, all you need to do is get better to play with better players, or you can go squads to make sure atleast there are people who you know are capable

    • @SYLin-rs8ob
      @SYLin-rs8ob Рік тому +2

      One additional tidbit for smokes:
      If you're team is heavy stacked on a site, and then you hear footsteps approaching that site, it's disadvantageous to smoke to delay. The site is already stacked, meaning you're actively looking for a fight, and there's no good reason to dissuade them from executing. Just let them come out and fight them.

    Honestly, still watching vod but I hoped TenZ would go more on attack controller. I feel as though I can do more for my team on controller during attack half. Maybe I'm doing everything right but I don't know that and would love to know if I am or not.
    Will say I was unaware of the Bind B site CT smoke so that was nice to understand and learn, but I feel as though offense controller is harder because if your team dies to certain angles you start to question if that's due to your poor smokes or if it's just something else. I guess I think too much about who's at fault and try to blame myself more often than not idk. Maybe It's just my plat brain after letting diamond slip from my hands.

      on defense try using your smokes to help your teammates take map control. A lot of times this strong map control can be leveraged to give u completely free kills and round winning lurks. Make sure you are alive for the retakes, don't ever die first or the round is basically over. If ur whole team is dead before you feel like you even got to play the game then try switching things up. Tell the morons not to swing main and die 3 seconds into the round lol. Tell ur teammates to play retake positions with their ults etc... The biggest takeaway I would say is that u cannot do shit on your own as controller. It is a support role, and you need to be focused on supporting your teammates and playing around them. trade your teammates and lurk for kills. GG ez defense

    • @AEijiDesu
      @AEijiDesu 11 місяців тому

      This is my personal opinion but in terms of offense, I tend to lurk or be a nuisance to the enemy when I am playing viper on offense. You do have to smoke for your team and listen in to comms when they need your poison wall up or down but the poison orb is a really good smoke since you can pick it up, essentially avoiding from traps and turrets too(eg. Chamber trips, KJ bots). A good example is pearl where you could smoke that gap at B and either cross OR fake a cross to make enemies think that you're holding B main. Essentially forcing them to at least have 1 player watching out for you.
      Controllers like Brim could push with the team as your stim pack is kinda op when you're pushing a site or a part of the map.
      Harbor's util are good for taking space since your team could push up behind his Cascade, or you could use your High Tide to make the site harder to retake. His Cove util is not only a good cover when planting spike but you could also use it as a bait, like swinging the enemy when they are trying to break your Cove, catching them off guard.
      But the most important point is to STAY ALIVE and DO NOT waste all your utils EARLY as your team requires your smoke for an easier time be it for holding a site when the spike is down or blocking vision for entry.
      If your utils are dry, you could try to be the bait for your teammate and make them play off your contact, being the first to swing for a double peek. (eg. Brim used up all his utils)
      Comms are always important, you could ask your team where do they plan to push, where do they need smokes for cover, where do you plan to smoke, are your smokes down? Etc.
      Your smoke Utils as a controller forces people to be wary of the potential push and hence they can't just casually rotate off site without confirming that there's no one pushing up behind the smoke, giving you the control of the space between you and the smoke. Especially if they actually tried to push through and you picked them off, they'd respect your smoke more.
      That's my personal opinion on controllers tho, there are a lot more you could do with controllers as long as you have the creativity to come up with ideas when a situation is presented to you. (Eg one-ways, camping in smoke, using smoke to avoid util scans or raze bots while you hold up close etc.)
      Just remember that your main goal is to stall the enemy and make their life hard on offense.
      That's all from me :D

    first point
    He calls that idea info starve I call it maximum map control. You put the smoke further away so you can hold as much map control as possible and you never smoke your oper granted he is good.
    You want to keep control of as much of the map as possible and be able to hold it, in an actual comp match where both teams are equal skill aim wise the team that holds more map control always wins.
    You always think about that ,, when you smoke when you plant when you take a fight.
    If you plant in a sad corner you lose all map control cause you need to be so close to that spike you are all stuck there, if you do a smart plant that is open for multiple directions , now you can play for bigger map control and enemy has to wonder where is he , if you do a corner side sad plant enemy knows exactly where you are.

      well if you don't communicate to your team to hold the smoke then it is a bad smoke, because people get surprised taking backsite and someone is holding from CT. The smoke is good if you already have control and for retaking, but not good for executing. If you are gonna throw that smoke u need to communicate to your teammates how to play around it or else you are kinda being a detriment to them, especially to the duelists.

    • @MASTA_FPS
      @MASTA_FPS Рік тому

      Not impossible but very hard. Not every map needs those 3. It’s 2 sentinels already which means a weaker attack in a sense as you are now limited to one duelist, weaker flashes, and no intel seeking util. Not to mention they aren’t very meta sentinels for the current map pools (not saying they are bad agents but usually you wont need both in one team+ kj Sentinal meta is still powerful. so maps like ascent, bind, pearl, split, which need that extra intel or entry flash are coming to be weak in offense and retakes. solo kayo without any other initiator is difficult since he is neither really an info agent nor a team flash agent. I usually pair him up with a skye, fade or sova to follow drone or dog along with the duelist, works well. Again this depends on the players knowledge and understanding of the agent I’ve seen some good immortal kayos solo initiator who set their teams up perfectly with flash plays or intel knifing key areas. By the same token, I’ve seen solo kayos completely become a hinder to their team because of what they lack in kit. You asked for synergy between those 3 but really the only synergy that creates impact is the initiator and duelist since those will be the ones taking first contact both on defense and offense. There is synergy between controllers and sentinels as they control the map but crossing agents is very hard. Think of it this way, your kayo won’t flash your sage or chamber to entry since that’s not their role. Just like your chamber won’t be necessary a Sentinal since it’s kit is more offensive than your average Sentinal on defense and it’s stopping power is weak compared to a sage so it comes down to choosing one or the other. Either way, if you are always going those 3 in a team you will in theory need a smokes and duelist which makes the core very weak imo. The best way I can rephrase what I said is the map needs to justify the 3 agents stacked together. Maps like lotus and haven which are 3 site maps can somewhat justify the 2 sentinels but again having a good KJ or cypher can completely hold 2 site together with their util. Again it’s not impossible but there is redundancy and complexity where it shouldn’t need to. As a immortal 2, I think the best 3 stack (I’m assuming it’s a 3 stack since you ask for the synergy between those 3 agents: kayo, sage, and chamber) would be a intel initiator, a duelist, and a controller. Everyone and their mother knows how to put a wall and orb so sentinels to some extent isn’t very much important, having random teammates lock in an initiator without comms or a lurking/baiting duelist (yoru exception) ruins the game faster than anything I’ve every seen. Having your smokes player not communicate with the team what they are smoking / awful smokes also fucks it up. By having your bases covered your 3 stack can attack, defend, and adapt much easier and better than if the likely scenario you got mute teammates or teammates without brains. Hope this helps 👍
      Edit: this is if you really want to improve and take the game and ranked scene seriously. This is at the end of the day, just a game and everyones playstyle is different. have fun with it and try what works best for you.

    I don't think Tenz is 100% right when talking about being aggressive in duelist roles. you can be passive or aggressive in every role, but most of this comes down to selective aggression which makes the duelist players impactful.
    If I play a duelist and my team wants me to "rush in to create space" on every round then it's way too predictable and you're lucky to get a trade most rounds.
    I guess he would probably agree with me, but some people think that duelists equals = rush in all rounds to help the team (and that's just stupid).
