We still have to see how top teams play + Other region but yeah i would say a good skye and waylay will also make a big difference
Yoru is 1-2 as solo duelist, Waylay is 5-1 (although one win was with one loss and another was against kru so technically 3-0)
Don't think Haven meta will change, this comp is too good to be replaced now unless theres a major agent shakeup or one team creates a entire new philosophy for it (which i can see happen on APAC mostly) but other than that yeah agree Skye will be played more on Bind and Split and we will see more initiator diversity
We can already see some of this happens. Today Lev played without a Scan on Pearl (Kayo and Tejo) and it was pretty alright. It was the best game of the season so far and the three maps were won for the team that didn't have a scan, which is crazy (although the map pick allowed that in a way). Im curious to see what G2 MIBR and NRG will cook so i can have a more rounded opinion but like i said on the other reply Skye + Waylay seems like a very good duo on some maps and i want to see it explored more
skye - waylay is a underrated duo, 100t was straight up bullying lev on TR with these two

Some insights:
onur também demorou uns 7 rounds pra pedir timeout na bind. acho que ele tá dando uma experimentada com os mlks pra acostumar e ver a adaptação, visto que acho q ele msm aparentemente n vê a equipe classificando por agr
po achei um bom jogo dada as circunstâncias. porém tbm acho que a galera deu uma superestimada nessa lev imediatamente (vão ser um time top só mais pra frente)
we balling nooomy
again idk why sato is not playing waylay and he yoru
hes just inconsistent cause hes filling but he adapts so quickly and carries the piano so well
he also is a waylay god and spikezin is good with flashes
If spike played yoru and sato waylay
CRYO WAS SHITTING HIMSELF TO PEEK ANYONE
hes like the reverse artzin if you think about it
you are not sorry yoy fuckign liar you are loving it
yeah its a good first impression. just feel they need a plan b for when teams start to hard counter cryo
wait a couple months and i will give you a answer
