If you had to build a superteam from each region, what would the team look like? Also, just to make this more fun, let's say no more than 1 player from any team. So no "TenZ, Sick, Shahz, Dapr, Zombs". You get the idea
I'll start with my takes on NA and EMEA
NA:
Jett - Wardell (TSM)
Flex - Sick (SEN)
Smoke - Dephh (XSET)
Initiator - Crashies (NV)
Sentinel - Steel (100T)
EMEA:
Jett - Cned (ACE)
Flex - Nukkye (G2)
Smoke - DavidP (VGIA)
Initiator - Russ (SMB)
Sentinel - Nats (GMB)
Agree on the best rifler part. Whatever game ScreaM plays, he's probably the best pure rifler in it.
I also think he could do that flex. It's just that, for the most part, he hasn't recently. That's the only reason I didn't include him. I initially had him in there until I double checked his recent agent pool.
Jett by a wide margin here lately, I thought it was closer with Reyna and Sage.
yeah recently liquid put him back on jett, and honestly, he's not very good on jett. He doesn;t utilize her util. in any amazing ways and.. well... lets just not talk about TL's T side. when he was on sage and phoenix and reyna were when he was at his best IMO. but nukkye is rly good as well, so we'll just agree to disagree 😁
Also I felt the gap between Crashies and BcJ was substantial enough to force that pick. Definite chance for bias there. But once Crashies is locked in, you can see why I made some of the choices i did.
I also have Steel as slightly better than FNS personally. Love them both as IGLs, but I favor Steel's mechanics by a little bit.
Granted, I don't necessarily disagree. I think Wardell - Sick - Nitro - BcJ - FNS vs Wardell - Sick - Dephh - Crashies - Steel is splitting hairs.
yeah I definitely agree with both points (crashies better and steel slightly better) but I do think the slight margin between them is made up for by the, imo, large margin b/t nitr0 and dephh. But ya, picking between these two teams would be a hard choice and (barring chemistry and whatnot) either team could take a H2H matchup any given day
EU
cned jett (ace)
scream flex (liquid)
leo smoke (guild)
shao initiator (fpx)
nats sentinel (gambit)
or another one for example
izzy jett (smb)
sheydos flex (gambit)
mistic smokes (fnatic)
cloud initiator (navi)
meddo sentinel (vgia)
some more cause im bored
nukkye (g2) duelist flex
hoody (vgia) flex
jamppi (liquid) smokes
russ (smb) initiator
sayf (guild) sentinel
the reason sentinels is the best team in the world is because they don’t have memorized and set plays they’re just good at playing the game and adapting and shahzam is a big reason for that. the core of sentinels is shahzam dapr and sick if you take one of those players away you drastically change the team and they are not the best team in the world anymore. without shahz they wouldn’t have won against FNC in the finals. a teams leader is arguably their most important player, just look at what happened to NRG and XSET and that becomes apparent
I would go
NA
tbh, they already have a superteam, maybe even a couple actually, but ok
Jett - ShahZam (SEN); igl
2nd Duelist - Asuna (100T)
Sentinel - dapr (SEN)
Init - BcJ (XSET)
Smoke - dephh (XSET)
EU
Sentinel - nAts (GMB)
Jett - cNed (ACE)
Flex - ScreaM (TL)
Smokes - Boaster (FNC)
Init - Russ (SMB)
Boaster and nAts can fight each other irl to decide who igls
BR
Heat - Jett (VK)
Sova - Sacy (VKS)
Duelist - Mwzera (GL)
Smokes - Sutecas (VKS)
Sentinel - Myssen (HL)
no igl. they have careca. headshot go brrrr. major champions.
Jett - Tenz (SEN)
Duelist - Asuna (100T)
Sentinel - FNS (NV)
Sova - Bcj (XSET)
Smokes - s0m (NRG)
Notes: For duelist i would also consider Subroza if your looking for more of a flex than duelist, if this was to happen i would add steel as igl with him instead of FNS
Smokes is debatable, ZachaREE is an option and so is gMd, Bang and maybe even trill (assuming all other teams have a player already on the team)
as if TenZ hasn't gone on stretches of whiffing?
the gap isn't huge, if you think it is then you haven't been paying attention
statistically yay is the best Jett NA. im not a statistics only kind of guy, which is why i still think TenZ is better, but you can't ignore what yay has been doing on the basis of "he missed his right clicks against SEN"
"ohh you sucked on csgo and on c9" is that your rebuttal? talk about what is going on right now, yay is whiffing and getting caught on A while his team is executing B. tenz doesnt do that. nv have time before berlin to iron it out, but the difference between tenz and yay is not "gap isn't huge", it is significant.
NA:
controller/smokes: 100T nitr0 (and IGL)
duelist/entry: NV yay
sova/initiator: NRG eeiu
sentinel: FaZe BabyJ
flex: SEN SicK
although you could argue bcj > eeiu, eeiu is just on a team that cant play well for some reason but is really dam good
i also took SIcK> TenZ for SEN bcuz he can paly any role really good
NA:
Duelist - yay (NV)
Flex - Asuna (100T)
Initiator - Levi (TSM)
Smokes - Dephh (XSET)
Sentinel - Dapr (SEN)
idk if putting asuna up there is cheating since he's 100T's only duelist as they play 1 duelist comps, but I essentially put yay as jett, asuna up there as a reyna/raze.
The rest are fairly obvious. I think crashies is top sova in NA, even if/when sinatraa comes back I think crashies will still top the list, but I can't have him with yay, and I'm not gonna swap out El Diablo for anyone other than maybe TenZ, can't do that with dapr.
