I chose some parts of the interview that I thought were important

• Underperformance by TenZ hurt Sentinels
"I think that not only Sentinels but all teams in the world depend on the duelist to have a good day to be able to perform. Unfortunately, today TenZ was not able to get into the game so much and he was a little lacking. But we hope he can come back better for the next games."

• pANcada and Sacy role changes
"These changes were to make life a little easier for IGL. It happens to many teams when the IGL is far away and cannot see what is happening in the game. This happens with most IGLs, they need to play flex. And the only way for our IGL to be able to play flex was to change our roles and I ended up going to sentinel. Only later did Sacy change to controller and that's what happened, because of IGL itself."

• Possible line-up changes for Marved's entry
"I don't know if he can enter in the near future, I don't even know if he's here in the United States. This is something that only the team's staff can answer, because they are the ones responsible for it and deal with the team's performance issues. I don't feel any pressure about it, I trust my work and if I need to leave, I'll leave in peace."

• Communication has not been the problem for pANcada
"To be honest I don't feel like we're having difficulties with communication, it's pretty cool. Everyone was afraid that we wouldn't be able to adapt to the language, but that hasn't been the problem."

It still doesn't make sense for me to switch roles. Saadhak was flex with both on the team

Even a gold player could understand that putting Sacy on smokes and Pancada on Killjoy is wrong.

Ultimately, they can all play different agents but that doesn't mean they should play an agent that they are not gonna excel at.

I think it's because zekken as a sentinel would be a waste, as a duelist/initiator exploits more of his potential. Despite this, I think it's better change 1 player instead of 2.

I had my suspicions before but it ended up being true, it really was for Dephh to be more comfortable. Is it worth it tho? He clearly has gotten a little better with the role changes from Sentinels to flash agents but is it worth it to change pancada and sacy from their main roles? I don't think so.

Syyko and Kaplan, what are y'all doing man.......

I have the same opinion.

It's so stupid to take the best controller in the world and a Top 3 initiator in the world away from their roles. I don't care if pANcada likes or doesn't like playing Controller. Sometimes the things you are great at, in-game and out, are things you were never bound to like. pANcada is CLEALRY meant to be the Controller GOAT from the start. Everything from the way he poistiones himself to the way he thinks and lurks just shouts "Controller".

I don't care if the team is missing a Sentinel, the 2 coaches on SEN and the analyst couldn't see this happening prior? Just a shit show honestly and their next opponent is going to be even harder with LEVIATAN.

Tuff being a SEN fan sometimes.

Taking Sacy (one of the best inis in the world) and pancada (best controller itw) off their roles to accomodate an below average player is kinda weird dont u think

IDK how people don't understand it, changing roles isn't about making the IGL individually more comfortable, but rather allowing the IGL to make better calls more consistently, which is much more important than any individual player. No slight extra comfort on an agent/role would make up for running into the site with 3+ people rather than the site with 2 or less, because no matter if you win the rounds where you go to the worse site, the call can still be bad and if there is a way to significantly improve the consistency of calling through changes in the team rather than direct practice and vod review then it should be done.

I don't know if it was the translation but from Pancada's pov but it seems like they are not totally "okay" with the role changes but they can't do anything about it anyway. Imo, I think the better approach would be to approach all the players and collectively make a decision instead of just making changes depending on what works best with the "IGL". Unless the players have some kind of 'hiererchy' I don't understand why they would force these type of changes anyways. Just my two cents.

It would make sense if the IGL actually had good calls tho lol

You really want to have the IGL to fully focus so I don't blame them

who gives a fk about the initiator n controller n stuff anymore it's time to get off this. You have to play what's best for the team overall, crashies has been playing Viper lately just for example. There are many more.

Let them cook cuz we will cook them later if it doesn't work. Let's give dephh a chance after his horrible calling on lotus and see if they improve. But these roles honestly don't matter except for the primary duelist I believe.

the difference is that crashies has FNS as his igl, dephh is a below average player both mechanically and strategically wise lol

to be fair I think zekken would probably be good on any agent

Ty for translation, I also think Sacy and Pancada should keep their original roles. Kinda sad actually that those adjustments are all because of Dephh.

Nah, that is just Sacy and Pancada's work ethics. Even if they don't agree, they would still play any role to try to make the team better.
