SEN Rawkus, coach of Valorant's professional team 'Sentinels', recently had a discussion on his livestream about the competitive potential of OpTic Marved. He talks about Marved being an excellent smoke player in the game and bringing great value to the team.

Valorant's professional team 'Sentinels' was recently inducted as a partnered team with VCT 2033: International League. Being one of the 10 teams selected from the Americas region for the partnership program, Sentinels is once again making headlines.

OpTic Gaming however, was left out of Valorant's partnership program despite hosting some of the best players in the game. As a result, players from the team are now looking forward to being inducted into the rosters of the franchised teams.

A viewer asked him:

"Who do you think would be the most sought after player besides 'yay'?"

To this, Rawkus responded that even though he might be biased, he believes 'Marved' to be the second most in-demand player on the scene after 'yay'. He stated that all franchised teams should be giving whatever Marved wants, just to include him on their roster. Supporting his statements, he continued:

"Marved is by far the second best player in the game and he's by far the best smokes player in the game".

He further added:

"Not only he is so incredibly good at the game, he is so good for marketing, he is so good for content, and he is just a good teammate".

Lastly, he said that all organizations should be looking to invest in players like OpTic Marved and OpTic yay, as they are currently some of the best that Valorant's competitive scene has to offer.
