This was such a great insight into Shaz who has consistently been in the spotlight and has gotten criticized since the inception of Valorant. Looking forward to more of these podcasts and learning more about not just the players but the human behind the screen.

[@anthonykerns8588]

Can shahz just be your main co-host your guys chemistry is way better!

U do slasher dirty

[@VinoJoeyy]

You need a slasher he’s like skip bay less

[@jaxoff22]

⁠@@VinoJoeyyactually true it makes it more intriguing to watch, yes a lil cringe, but better than watching two nice guys who’re afraid to say something “mean”

[@joshie8045]

a lot of shaz hate is unjustified tbh. really really enjoyed this vid

[@shawncolacchio4999]

Thank you so much sgares, this content has helped so much in the off season. Please keep it up!

This interview is gonna be awesome

[@jadedmari]

really good interview. the bit of insight of his sentinels era really showed we as fans don't really know what's going on bts.

[@giocavaliere3355]

great conversation

[@newdawntruth]

This is completely off topic but I love the minimalistic visuals, this design looks so clean

[@luvtoplay2012]

What a great conversation

[@leo45762642]

What if you gave Omen the ability to right-click a tp(shrowded step), and it worked with some sort of timer, let's say 5 seconds, and at the end of the 5 seconds he TP's to the spot he chose? It would allow another agent class to use the AWP, take fights with it, and provide flexibility with lineups. They could add a glow to omen or some sort of identifier like they did to Jett or chamber's glow. Instead of nerfing Jett even more since she's the main AWP agent, or forcing a chamber for the AWP, or running double duelist, you provide flexibility with lineups. The TP can be tweaked to work like Yoru's where for that .5 seconds when the TP initiates, if you are shot at you still get hit, or they add a vulnerability debuff so that it's like a high-risk high-reward type of thing? Just throwing ideas out there. Tough to think how you get an OP in the initiator role hands but thought this was an interesting idea.

[@L0wSkiller]

I think you bring up a good point about trying to find ways to make other characters kits able to take this role so we aren't pigeonholed into jett or chamber to OP. A change like that however may impact him enough to be a little overtuned. It's hard to say without seeing what players are capable of, but I do like how you are thinking! The reason I mentioned it maybe overtuning him is remember when they made that change to omen smoke placement that not a single player in the community asked for? Or even when they removed his ability to impart his velocity to his blind by running forward or back.. a part of me died that day 😂

[@BreMacD]

I'm not crying!

sentinels in 2023 would've been much worse if shahz was in the team

[@HarshSharma-05]

disagree. If you look back, in 2023 they needed an IGL. I believe Shahz is one of the best IGLs out there.

[@whereisshahriar]

@@HarshSharma-05 Best IGL lmao! He’s often busy with streaming and definitely one of the worse IGLs. If he was really good then what did he do in the ascension league? I’d like to know 😂 he is one of those persons who’d blame everyone except him for all those mistakes. In 2023, Sen was still in building process. Now that they have Johnqt, I believe they’ll perform really good.

rather have shahz than dephh

Shaz threw SEN during the 2022 VTC season. And what I hate about him is that he denies it and blames TenZ

you're goofy you must be the kid that doesn't get any work done in a group project

this has to be the most dumbest thing I've ever read

[@alexanderkosasi9557]

when did he even blame tenz lmao u r so dumb

[@domikatz]

he just said they never had 5 players

[@jadedmari]

shahz has never once blamed tenz. I advise you to watch the Interview before commenting.

[@mystic7595]

Bro who invites shazam 💀💀💀, worst of the people you couldve chosen lol

[@blicey9014]

bandwagon bum

[@spork8721]

yea im sure you have a super valid reason to hate him, and not just because everyone else does

[@vakantieman3270]

L take bro. He might be cringe during stream but he still is trying and still good. He speaks his mind even against sen so more power to him.
