Sentinels: Honestly, I feel like this iteration of Sentinels (without any roster changes) has already hit its peak, and I just don't think they have the drive to win anymore. Even after such a poor performance at Berlin, they continue to not scrim, according to vanity I think (?), and stream everyday, and it shows in their gameplay. I have faith in Shahzam, SicK, dapr, and even TenZ, although he choked hard the last map to get back into Iceland form if they get the motivation to start putting in the work, but I genuinely think it's time to drop zombs, not because of his poor performance but his "don't care" mentality is really hurting the team, I feel. If they can get a solid smokes who can mix well with the team and add some motivation back into the roster, I can see them return to greatness.
Envy: I love all these players, but what the fuck is the org doing, dropping the coach that got them a 2nd place finish in Berlin for Chet, who has done nothing across two teams? They have great players but the team play/prep is not great, at least way worse than their Berlin performance. Also victor has been struggling a lot recently on the skye, he's an insane player and has proved it before, but maybe a role change is needed for him to hit those peaks again.
C9: This team looks great, all five of the players are so good, they're getting comfortable on LAN now, and I genuinely believe that they have a chance to win the whole event (Acend looked a lot worse onstage than in the hotels, Gambit looks shaky, and the C9 match will be Liquid's first time onstage so they maybe will have LAN nerves).
Thoughts?
