Assuming Marved doesn’t want to move to LA or is comfortable with being a 6th man, TenZ and Zekken should switch roles.
Zekken plays more methodically and has firepower on par, and TenZ can widen his agent pool while playing more passively, which will be good for his team and even develop a new playstyle. However, let’s leave the oping to TenZ tho.
So roles:
Sacy - Initiator
Dephh - IGL/controller
pAncada - Sentinel
TenZ - secondary flex
Zekken - duelist
zekken on flex is really the way to go, his mid round is so strong. SEN just needs to really figure out when they wanna make their plays because TenZ plays so front loaded, and Pancada plays so late, and Dephh is doing nothing half the time waiting for tier 1 teams to randomly throw.
Resources need to be arranged with TenZ or he needs to change his method to align with what Sacy and Dephh are looking for on the map
also I think TenZ is just straight up missing shots he usually hits lately and thats part of his concerning performance. Recovering from Covid and a broken finger, and getting in a good headspace really does go a long way for any player and I have no doubt that its gonna be night and day for TenZ as well.
on maps that arnt Ascent and Icebox tho id really be for Zekken Jett TenZ flashes swaps on days where TenZ just isnt in a space to be 100% relied on for map pressure
my scorching hot take: i think they should experiment with zekken to sentinel, pancada to smokes and sacy to flex. i think this lets sacy and pancada shine in their best roles while zekken has shown that he is able to adapt to multiple different roles as a flex already, but he doesn't have the same level of cracked out duelist aggression.
