I think 3 other people is a stretch. Sick isn't that great at Astra, and they aren't running anything else here that no one else can play.

I think that's an entirely different conversation, though.
I agree Optic was clearly aiming better, but I'm looking to consider the team comp and strategies over individual gunfights.

Yeah, I would agree with pretty much all you've got here. Really just reinforces though that Jett just isn't a good pick here. We saw Optic take site with what they had while SEN just couldn't make it work.

I think there's an argument to be made for the Breach pick as a slower initiator, too. His util can be used at a fine range on Fracture, so Dapr would be able to play util then drop back to his sort of Sentinel role.

I don't see the Shahz Breach pick as being that strong. Zombs played quite well on Viper on Fracture, but Dapr Viper and zombs on Astra aligns with their other maps, too.

What is the argument against Shahz on Astra?

Why do you think it would be a troll?
I do think Dapr to Breach is probably the first thing they need to change.

Forgot my /s
Still, that's such a strange take. It seems clear from their recent matches that they need to switch some things around.

The open space argument is clear, but at least Bind it didn't look like they were accomplishing much there. Optic didn't seem to have much trouble creating space with Viper, Astra, and Raze. Do we think this is just a difference in playstyle - SEN defense being more laidback compared to Optic's aggressive positioning? Or is the space Jett is creating in this lineup just not cutting it?

Yeah you're right, it's just their job

Should be hard-pressed to dislike Tenz on Jett, but what are they getting out of the pick now?

Then there's their Fracture setup. Sure they took the map, but it doesn't look convincing. It's been said before, but Dapr is just not the right pick for Chamber. I think their Fracture setup could work quite well with
Tenz - Chamber
Shahz - Astra
Dapr - Breach
Sick - Raze
Zombs - Viper

I keep wondering how they decided their current roles. I don't know if Shahz has looked good on Breach yet. Breach seems to fit Dapr's agent pool so much better than Chamber.
