crack me if im wrong, but isnt the plan to have zekken be perma smokes?
If so aren't roles fucked amongst tex and mazino.
ik mazino can kinda flex to flash init, but on viper map what then ?
Does he play viper? Does that mean tex will have to flex viper and have mazino fill senti
So confused
has he played viper i only remember harbor and consensus is hes worse so what now
he has played viper on KRU this year but he was awful. I think he was completely checked out at that time so he should be fine in a better team environment
verno scan
aspas duelist
zekken smokes
tex senti
mazino viper
this is what makes the most sense to me
sure he's great, but no scrims in off season on viper and being thrust into the lurk role for the first time in t1 does not excite me
If I'm not wrong, Zekken is going to play init
tex - Sent
Mazino - Cont
aspas - Duel
zekken - Init/2nd duel
Verno - Flex/IGL
zekken used to play sova and was p good, but iirc the rumor was he was going to be primary controller
zekken probably can play everything
I heard people saying that Verno also plays Viper, so it could be:
Verno = Viper
Zekken = Sova/Scan init
verno was a top 3 iniator player this year (what is stage 2) imo
I think its best he stays on sova/fade
Mazino will play viper on viper maps probably. Only question mark is bind and split which don't use traditional sentis usually but maybe tex goes double duelist to fit more? This team is very flexible so i can see a lot of things happening. But we don't know the main meta yet
i think mazino is flexible, otherwise... I wouldnt put tex's agent pool as high as others might. zekken will be on primary smokes so thats kinda locked, and ik verno can play some senti but then that leaves the scan gap open so idrc whats going on here
zekken and mazino can both play scans too. verno also has a pretty good brimstone and yoru. tex can go double duelist and played some initiators too on lev. theres a lot of possibilities. the least flexible player is aspas himself maybe
thats all fine and great but if they want to run double smokes they kinda pigeon holed themselves role wise
mazino has pretty good all-time stats on viper and tex played four times in his carrer what are you even saying 😭😭😭😭
3/4 times it was with Rossy's lev which was just a mess overall you can't take definitive conclusions on that lol
and the other he was pretty alright
Having tex go duelist over zekken in double duelist is the most dumbest thing I’ve heard 😂
might be but it would be better than forcing tex viper unless he gets much better
if tex cant fill then he shouldnt be on the team LOL
they kicked cortezia just to have role problem with t0x
Well maybe he can like i said on another reply he only really played 4 viper games and 3 were with that rossy demon1 roster which was just a gas leak moment tbh
at most theyll just put him on chamber if he's that bad on viper or other roles
they have 3 players that can flex pretty well so it's fine
tex is a senti player and sentis has to know how to play viper . If he’s not that flexible then why is he on the team. Teams have to flexible to win
c0m was supposed to be a initiator and only really played sova. demon1 was supposed to be duelist and only really played jett. skuba and s0m swapped roles based on each other comfort. zellsis played brimstone so johnqt and tenz could be more comfortable in whatever they wanted to play. idk sometimes you can work around limitations and team system and its fine
C0m played sova mainly cus that was the best init to play he also played fade and viper, skye sometimes it’s not like he only played sova.
Demon1 played jett and brim he was never an entry player and thats why when they tried him on raze /neon/yoru it never worked. Jett plays into a more bait playstyle. Skuba was all round senti cus he played viper . As a senti player you need to learn viper. That’s why johnqt plays it, even when they changed the roles he was playing viper except on split but that’s cus johnqt plays a hard senti role/anchor which was cypher but since he nerfed he has to play different role on omen now
exactly brother they all worked around teams comfort and limitations thats the whole point lol
No but you see theres a difference between demon1 and tex, I get what you are saying but even while playing comfort agents in the past couple of years(chamber raze wtv), playing around him makes no sense. It would prolly make more sense to just stick him on viper even if hes bottom fragging on it
no but to say tex should be on duelist over zekken is so dumb cus zekken is million times clear of tex on duelist . If tex cant play his role or a role that can help the team he should fuck off from the team
Verno is more than just a scanner, Zekken can play sova as well. Omen era suits Zekken as well, stepping in Tenz's footsteps
verno can play everything at a high level
zekken too
mazino is normally a flex
tex is mid
so basically 3/4 can play every agent so theyre fine
we have only seen verno's senti/ initiator at t1
zekken i believe in more
someone will have to play it but its sub optimal on a role comfort perspective
Its definitely one of his worse agents out of his flex pool. But its sufficient enough that I dont see them moving him to any other role for someone else to flex to viper either
Especially the only other people who have even played it in a match are Verno and tex and only 4 times each. You could maybe see verno flexing off to it but I havent seen him play a lurking igl before and mazino has played more viper than sova anyways.
yes they will probably have to rely on omen blind and maybe Mazino breach for flashes
if they add demon1
zekken - chill
aspas - chill
verno - chill
mazino - chill
demon1 - too much ego
Aspas - duelist
Verno - scan
Zekken - controller/secondary duelist
Mazino - flex
Tex - senti/viper
Aspas Duelist
Verno Initiator (mostly scan)
Mazino Flex
Zekken Smokes
tex senti
seems pretty simple
