@astrogalaxy The roster you suggested sounds horrid. Breaking down who you said:

FNS: IGL/Flex
Som: Flex/Smokes
Yay: Chamber/Jett
Zekken: Duelist/Entry
Marved: Smokes

This team is pretty ass when we think this through. Zekken playing the role of entry is fine, but where does yay go, his main agents are chamber and jett, and he hasn't been promising on other agents. Not many maps require double duelist, with split and maybe breeze being justifiable. Marved would be the primary controller, but thats also the position that Som played for NRG, so there is a role conflict there. This team also misses a valuable initiator such as crashies, ethan, or com for example. The weaknesses in the roster's roles aren't the primary issue but even then its too big of a gap.

If nrg wants to create a good roster this is what they should do,

Keep ethan, the world's best flash initiator when he can play his role. Great Mid rounder
Keep Demon1, I assume like TenZ, the mental issues/backlash he is facing rn is weighing on his performance. At peak performance, explosive duelist.
Drop crashies- Ethan plays the same role as him, and as of everythinf and recency, I have Ethan as a better flash initator.
Try and keep victor, if possible it would be great to have him in a jawgemo type role, to be the primary entry for the team as when the EG roster existed.
Recruit Saadhak. World Class IGL, enough to be said.
Get Less, Once again world class player. Great viper + senti.

How roles would work:
Ethan- Flash initiator. Kayo skye, breach primarily.
Demon1- (2nd Entry + Flex Controller)Have him continue jett, but slowly let him explore smokes as he has with brim astra, and hopefully omen
Victor- Primarily Duelist- Raze Phnx Neon(Both Phnx and Neon he has play time under and it would be helpful to adopt some strats from Loud's playbook)
Saadhak- Flex/IGL
Less- Viper/Senti

This roster is achievable. Both saadhak and less are looking for teams right now and you have your other components.

If we think about it tho 100t will be going against Lev, Loud(With a subbed less), EG(idk jawg could do sumn, but im taking 100t), mibr + fur(:skull, but maybe xand and pancada save furia who knows), and that leaves them with a min record of 3-7 max record of 8-2.

Sentinels goes against Kru(i think kru have been kind of exposed these last few series and is a very doable matchup), Sen v C9(yeah c9 can always have Oxy9 go crazy, so idk), G2(look good, but also dependent on icy going crazy(while valyn does do great, i think icy really needs to perform to consistently look great on their attack halves), NRG(truly mid after what we have seen), So min record of 3-7 or 7-3.

Now, I think why 100t looks so good is because of their strats and some individual talents. Whether its cryo popping off, asuna or bang. They all seem to have great talent. On top of that, their best map bind seems some what unpenetrable when it comes to their defensive half. But it has shown holes.

TLDR: Sen has a chance, but its reliant on relying on new comps, strats, and better anti-strating coming into this part of the season. Its unfortunate only G2 is coming from this side of the bracket, but sen has a chance depending on how they develop.

A suggestion I think might be useful is starting to use double duelist or 0 duelist comps on some maps. The main reasoning why TenZ was taken off that duelist position was because of his decision making was too rash and he was pressured to be primary entry. With his time as flex and now, zekken flourishing, tenz could take that jett or yoru spot on some maps, allowing zekken to do what he does best on raze. Also, zekken started his career as an igl and flex player. We have seen many comps in other regions with no duelists, zekken has experience playing agents such as sova and others. We could definitely see some interesting plays come out of sen, since their roster is really flexible when there is more though to it. Will see how life pans out though.

thank u

is aspas about to break the kill record. Pretty sure its like 101. Hes at 84 at map 4. So like 18 kills = breaking it, so prolly right?
