If Kaplan is smart, here is a possible scenario:

SEN bans split (they are good on it but they overplayed the map and have become predictable on it + chet is gonna waste a lot of time vod reviewing it)
NRG bans Bind (they auto ban it)
SEN picks sunset
NRG picks Ascent (their comfort pick)
SEN bans breeze (somehow sen is dogshit on this map and they played it a lot as well so chet will review it a lot)
NRG bans icebox (they usually ban it)
Lotus is the decider (sen are decent on it and they only played it once)

If the map picks goes like this SEN has a chance to win, otherwise it’s gonna be very hard for them. If nrg bans sunset instead of bind it’s fine as well, SEN are solid on bind.

SEN 9-8 TTR
100T 8-5 C9
G2 11-1 YFP
NRG 10-4 Wedid team
FURIA 7-4 N/A
M80 3-6 N/A
MIBR 2-0 N/A

I ain’t posting SC but all of those are from c0m’s stream.

Cry now, cry later, cry until them tears dry bozo

I would rather have net as igl than john. Both are good, but neT is much more vocal and has a better kj than john which is what SEN needs. He also plays controller well which can be good on double controller maps. Net trialed with C9 but i really hope sentinels give him a chance.

I doubt. Dasnerth special play style is like a wild card for the team + his igling is pretty good.

Definitely, he has such a high energy. He reminds me of asuna a little bit.

Here is a team that would do surprisingly well if they were in NA chanllengers:

N4RRATE (Flex)
Infiltrator (duelist/ini)
ztol (ini)
Dasnerth ( sentinel + igl)
Bongbong (controller)

They are all talented players and i think with a little bit of coaching and coordination they could be deadly.

Great points, i think the zellsis zander duo would be good but zander is kinda inconsistent in pro play. The most consistent smokes player is moose, but he is not really « popular » so he doesn’t fit well with the brand’s image of hype. Marved would be the best pick up but yeah he had problems in the past with tenz. Zekken would be a good pick up tho. We will see.

Well SEN made franchising and they already won a masters so it’s not really a t2 team.

Tarik is not interested in playing professionally and stewie is still new to the game. Like i said brax would be a good potential candidate but definitely would have more work to do.

Brax has played multiple 10 mans on stream and he top fragged constantly. He also has CS experience. Great player overall but he would have to work extra to make it to the big scene i think.

Sentinels had a rough year and i think a big change has to happen. Sentinels would have to build around tenz as he is the organization’s image. Obviously changing rosters all the time is bad as it creates inconsistency but i think this roster would be pretty good.

Shahzam (IGL) (Chamber)
TenZ (Duelist)
Dapr (controller/initiator)
Marved (Smokes)
Brax (Flex)

Brax has a lot of potential in the scene and it also brings « freshness » to the team. Marved is the best controller NA and he can be bought from Optic. Shahzam could also be replaced by another IGL, but i think he is pretty solid. What do you guys think?
