I swear this has worked so well for everyone who was willing to make the swap, i don’t get why more players dont give it a chance

Also Deryeon and t3xture for a weird time
Silentzz can play both roles
The problem is stocks going down on duelist if things don't work..
No team gonna consider make shift sent & washed duelist. Oh hell nah that's just demon1 lol
But we gonna save him after ascension.
xeus is not washed at all tho, just stuck on a dead team and its kinda unlucky for him because he was farming in kickoff/stage1, wo0t is on his prime now but he also had a bad period of form earlier in the year so I think its normal for rookies, xeus just needs time and the right team around him instead of that mess of FUT coached by one of the worst coaches in history
Who said anything about washed 💀 im just saying for a duelist he barely ops and his rifling is his greatest asset so he would fit the senti role
oh, mb G! I agree then his aiming/movement style would be pretty good at senti if he takes the the time to learn how to actually play the role from a macro perspective, xeus isnt bad even he doesnt use it that much imo
It really depends, if you have a calm aim-y style like yay then it would work really well.
It's been tried by a lot of players in the past with mixed results. ardiis and Victor would both play senti in 2023 (and Victor went full time senti in 2024) and the results were debatable.
Leaf and Meteor are examples of ones that worked out really well.
players like cNed also tried, with slightly less success.
sometimes the transition to smokes (tenz, koalanoob, jingg) or initiator (asuna, some others idk) works better. It's really dependent on the player.
Zellisis is mid for solild 1 & half year. But there is no competition in America. Only G2 is good team after s0n.
Zellsis not gonna survive in apac or even cn if he is playing for edg.
s1mon sylvan lakia all got sacked after one bad int tour.
lakia didn’t get sacked, he had wrist injuries that’s why geng couldn’t re-sign him before
they're the two mechanical roles which is why swapping between them is so seamless even though their playstyles are exact opposite
exactly, i am the most mechanical player on my premier team so i would literally just be the duelist/senti flex and then play both roles, my agents were Cypher Jett and Iso
yooo lets go
do you have any tips for senti on how to not get bored and peek 5 people i swear everyone plays so slow in premier and i just get bored and peek
in ranked everyone just execs at 1:35 so it’s fine
well sentinel is about map control and information, so you dont have to sit around and wait for them to come to you all the time it just depends what side of the map your team is playing for. an example would be lets say you're anchoring b site bind on vyse or cypher whatever senti you play, if your team is fighting for shower control you want to play very passive on the b side of the map but if your team isnt going for an aggressive play on A you're open to look for fights or map control through long, control the orb and get information and put yourself in position for a flank or a fast rotate using the tp. also if you're on deadlock or chamber you're basically just another duelist and should look for as many fights as possible
On bind I usually opt for Chamber and so yeah if I have a sniper I ego peek fountain
On cypher I tend to just wait on site and crank hog until they either come or rotate and it’s so boring
Cryo would genuinely benefit from being a Sentinel/Flex player. Mechanically a very strong player with a passive playstyle it would be perfect.
yes please get him off duelist PLEASE (Not saying he's bad, he just way too passive imo)
literally I wanna see is
Asuna (Flex)
Cryo (Sentinel/Flex)
Eeiu (Recon)
Zander (Smokes [IGL])
Penny/Timotino (Duelist)
but apparently that's too much to ask for
I actually like the XLG comp lol the triple senti counter’s DRG’s run it the fuck down play style and the res is a round winning ult
Leaf is a great example. Alfajer as well since he swaps when he feels like it.
Oh, Meteor too. Bro should double duelist again.... I wish they do that in GenG more besides Breeze.
Senti is probably the role that benefits most from your ability to take isolated ones, play independently from your team and put pressure on people whilst minimising risk to yourself, which I think are all skills that are pretty easy to translate between duelist and senti
Granted some of this applies to smokes as well
Which is basically a way to say initiator is boring
Don't let the ranked players tell you smokes and senti are boring, initiator is the real cringe role where you depend mostly on your team
I don’t like playing smokes but senti is fun, I can fill ini if desperately needed but I try and avoid it at all costs
I’d rather just lock Reyna and play with no smokes than play smokes
