Ngl Ethan has been playing long enough to know that jumping around during pause wasn’t gonna go down well
Wish America had a jemkin LOL
I said it before and now it's confirmed if what Ethan says is true. On Breeze, the admin said it's not a tech pause yet bc the timer was still running. On Lotus, the timer also didn't stop so it makes sense that the same rules apply there. Now was it good sportsmanship, not at all. But it wasn't against the rules. And you can't say he's lying bc jonahp confirmed it, at least for Breeze, which means the no tech pause if timer is still running thing is real
what i think happened is when sen killed everyone on breeze ethan had the same reaction as everyone on sen like john that wtf, why is he moving, but then admins justification made ethan even more tilted like why do they not have clear protocols for this scenario, so i think then and there he must have thought to exploit it to show others the gap in the rules, so that this can be patched and nothing stupid like this repeats.
sen fans when their players move in a tech pause: 🧑🦯🧑🦯 sen fans when nrg move in a tech pause: THATS CHEATING!
7:05 Tarik back at it again with having a pr opinion lmfao
He's basically saying he'd cheat if they let them.
For people bashing Ethan have a little bit of critical thinking, if he says in his explanation that in a similar situation Sen did the same thing and the admins gave an answer he didn't like when he did it it was very clearly a protest of the reason given to him in the first scenario
Ngl Ethan has been playing long enough to know that jumping around during pause wasn’t gonna go down well ....
i think what ethan did , needed to be done so that admins see this as a matter of concern, if Ethan didn't do that, it would never change. Riots are strict about their ruling, so let this be a lesson for themselves as well
i see, multiple SEN did it first on Breeze. thanks for clarification
So fracture, SEN whole team didnt know tech pause was in effect while they were moving with guns because refs didnt say anything. On Lotus 9 PEOPLE KNEW they were in tech pause but Ethan chose to jump around WITH A KNIFE.
i swear people are commenting without even watching the video 😭😭 there's no way some losers still think that sen didn't know what they were doing. also, there isn't a single player in either sides being mad about this, it's just the fans being petty crybabies
I love you Rab
sen players were not told theres a tech pause. ethan knows, thats the difference
Bro did u see new valorant video Initiator cooldown decreased from 60s to 50s and REPLICATION IS COMING BACK!!!!!!!!
I'm not surprised tenz joining T1, he giving hint before he announced. #1 hint he using T1 Classic gun skin. #2 visiting korea, for what?
Ethan also caught looking at opponents hand if they're defusing or not
His explanation post is respectable. I'm so used to American players dropping apologies every time no matter if they were wrong or not. E.g. Zekken's mistranslated joke about China, where he was fully in the right and the victim, yet he apologized.
In the end people just crying about it just because SEN lost. Ethan just do the same things as SEN did in previous map to poke fun at them for using the excuse the round is still live. Both team don't even take it personally
