need to see more games against better teams but bipo is actually an insane sentinel player

#31

EseemedRes1180

Frags

–

I feel like he will be good player on smokes. On duelist he looks panicked asf and just holds down m1 but on a role where he can hold angles he can be really good. This issue is literally everyone on m8 has the same play style they need a player with high sens basically

btw idk why they switched bipo and minny roles, but bipo just destroyed on cypher

#37

cuz bipo's duelist is a disasterclass. always bad, never good

#42

AGlover

Frags

–

ok maybe, but minny is a monster on sentinel and never played duelist b4, bipo never played sentinel b4 too
for me makes more sense sign a tier 2 duelist, but they won against liquid so who cares

Mini played yoru couple times on old m8

#55

i said more in a general way and yoru is a kinda flex duelist, not a movement duelist as neon and jett

#63

minny alway have been a flex and he play sentinel cause his team need it.

#66

always? what you talking about, he was flex back in 2023 when he played for ep with benjyfishy (sentinel) after this he played sentinel 99% of time

Bipo is low confidence when playing dualist.

lol harry maguire is here, im a big fan
when i watched m8, bipo looked a good duelist, just not a star player

#51

I been watching him in T2 for long time. He's a monster in aim but he's not confident playing dualist.. he plays scared and make mistakes..

Minny 2nd duelist > Bipo

Bipo on senti
Win win for them

instead of replacing bipo, changing his role to senti is good decision
