I think we can all admit this team needs a total rebuild (except SicK, TenZ and MAYBE Kanpeki). Org hired Rawkus because he is friends with them, and we all know he was only hired because he's a yes man. Dapr has regressed. Kanpeki has had his moments but looked rough today. I don't even need to say anything about Shahz. Leaf's tweet today sums it up. Good stats + IGL + No results = Good IGL in people's eyes. We have zero actual strats or discipline on the team. All they do is fight even before the bomb is tapped in the post plants. It's so hard to watch, and the worst part is I doubt the org even makes any changes unless Kez grows a pair and makes changes, hires a real coach, hires an analyst, and hires an IGL dedicated to the game.

Linear
TenZ : can be the best in the world if supported properly
SicK : can fit anywhere,anytime, in any role
dapr : great sentinel player with great lurks and occasional pop-offs
ShahZam : great player mechanically even though he only now started to underperform, proven leader, needs structure
Kanpeki : T1 flex player
Your reads cannot possibly be fine if opponents are studying you more than you are studying them. It just isn't possible. And with the refusal to opt a chamber (I know he listed his reasons for not playing chamber), comp lineups are insanely outdated and that's just two big down sides to what Sentinels are doing right now.
He has been playing really well actually. Just not as insane as he used to when SEN were on top but you cant expect that happening again. I feel like they should build with TenZ, SicK and maybe dapr and get an IGL with a better vision for the game or if Shahz is willing to change his approach with the guidance of a coach and some supporting staff that could work as well. They are still stuck in that individualistic playstyle that they have been playing with for so long and no one has addressed it or wanted to change it. They are so close to beating a lot of these teams but they will never be able to do that without changing that mentality and playstyle.
Neptune has very similar agent pool to SicK. Maybe a smokes player like Zander or Skuba would be better. idk if Poach is a better IGL than Shahzam either. The problem with Shahzam isnt really his calling or instincts imo its the lack of creative and interesting ideas that would require a proper coach and staff probably. It feels like he has very less to work with in terms of set plays, utility combos or counter strats so it just looks redundant.
nah honestly they need to get out of esports becuase sen is a content org 😹👎. fr they doing nothing to improve their team. just the same old iceland performance.sucks for them because there are no NA orgs that can actually buyout sentinels to make a reformation. sucks for the players too. im not blaming players btw
Man , I have actually emotional damage watching sen in 2022 like u can see the good stuff the sentinels we saw in reykjavik 2021(and before u say that was early in the game go and watch those vods again sen were genuinely better than everyone else)
But then they do some seriously dumb shit like sick tping into backsite and getting obliterated , tenz trying to do tenz things but with 0 support (trust me the days of solo carries without any support is over) , they can't hold their sites well enough and shahz has not been getting the reads he used to and I have a feeling sen have let the haters get into their heads , so yeah sen need a rebuild(not required imo , they still showed glimpses), a bootcamp, and a bloody trek in the mountains so that they can get a break from social media
My heart is broken right now, but like you seriously need to give them time, they haven’t made a roster change for like over a year, you can’t expect them to win and like 2 months, and that happening is not right now, hopefully down later in LCQ, but give it more time. Then when the seasons over who knows
Dapr pops of occasionally and then when he is clearly winning the game, he resorts to trolling rather than keep up the consistency. SicK is arguably the best player on the team( yes hot take), don't look at stats, he has carried his team through multiple clutch rounds, adapts to whatever the heck his team needs him to play, and has an agent pool that spans the whole roster. Tenz is aggressive but sometimes gets hyper aggressive and has a history of choking in tense situations. Kanpeki is fairly new so throwing hate at him is blatantly unfair, he still needs time to settle in. Shahzam...well...uh...I don't need to elaborate do I?
LOL.. Bruh If SEN think to rebuild the team I guess Tenz should be the first 1 to be out! SEN with shaz and sick on a duelist is 10000 better.. Bruh this kid isn't ready for t1 teams he has a child mentality he has - kd in most of the matches he plays besides he only plays jett and most of his kills either by an op or knives he is driven by pride he is believing that he is the best hahahaha... I recommend he meets Dapr IRL and they shit on each other as a teabag so they can be good at their jobb.
SEN should def build around Tenz and Sick 100%. Another 100% is to drop Shahzam. I love Shahzam and his streams but he is not it for pro play anymore based on literally all the matches in Stage 2 so far. Dapr has maps like Ascent and another map I forgot where he plays well and in the others, he is just there. Kanpeki has a lot of talent and maybe with a new IGL, he can do great. WE NEED AN ANALYST. They cannot improve if they do not have someone to look at all their mistakes. Idk what to do with Rawkus. Obv it is over for SEN in 2022 and it is painful to say that. But let's see what happens in the future. Really hope they can find their former selves once again.
SEN 100% needs to rebuild around Tenz and Sick. Put Shahzam into content creation or even secondary coach, right now he just aint cutting it as an igl. We can always still have Dapr, he isnt playing too badly while we need to get rid of Kanpeki. If we have Sick on flex again we would need a initiator and a controller. Should be easy enough
Sentinels 2023:
Zander -smokes igl
Sick - flex (kayo + raze + whatever else)
Tenz - please for the love of god learn chamber
Dapr -sentinel/second flex (hey he’s still good)
Fifth player -scout a cracked sova/fade or pay Mini to find em, he’s good at that
Coach: poach MikesHD
Analyst: no clue but get one
This will be a winning roster.
why scout for a cracked sova when you already have sinatraa
for those who dont remember sinatraa is a sova main and only plays raze in ranked, and if youre watching streams nowadays hes a cracked fade main too
i dont see why the hesitation
also put shahz on analyst?? its a proven fact that hes 5head player well suited for getting reads and plays
Nice rebuild but I think I would pick up BabyJ for Dapr as he is more consistent, and for the fifth might as wel getl zellsis as secondary flex and put Sick on Sova on maps where required, or if Sinatraa finishes training put him on Fade, Sova and Raze, because TenZ cannot play raze well enough for the pro stage.
Agree with the coach pick ups as well.
Sentinels need to get their roles down first, Sick has so much potential on flex, and shahz's op won them so many games during their prime. Zombs mentioning that Shahz doesn't even schedule scrims shows the dedication of the whole team. They need to just have structured coaching staff and analysts and they will be a good team again, they have the mechanics they just need to execute it.
idk, i feel like the team is fine they just need to figure out actual comps, strats, and roles. If they get an actual coach and put rawkus as assistant coach i feel like the team would work a lot better, because one coach and IGL isnt really enough.
so much could be going on behind the scenes like Sick going through some shit (see: https://twitter.com/SicK_cs/status/1528195842221424642)
the org might be holding back on stuff who know, SEN hasn't been in form for a minute. I feel like if they put more time into prac and bootcamp theyll be fine but it isnt look good like, at all rn
i have copium tho
