How to fix sentinels

It is painful to watch a once great valorant team fall like this while watching other fallen teams get back on to their footing. So I hope Sentinels would do some of the following changes to get them back on top again.

1)Rework the entire sentinels strategy

Right now sentinels kept putting wrong people on wrong roles. Tenz stated in one stream that he doesn't like rifling that much and as stats can show, clearly he isn't comfortable on raze at all.

Shazam feels like the weird one here: his igl and skills isn't terrible(none of the sentinels players are bad), but his comfort agents are clearly conflicting with Tenz a lot(both jett and op main) and he definitely isn't that good at initiators. This hasn't been a problem before as Shazam and tenz each take a duelist on maps like Icebox and breeze, but as the meta develops into a 2 initiator+raze+chamber meta it is clear that one of them has to go, and its clearly Shazam that has to go here

But what if he didn't?

Introducing the solution: Paper rex.

Paper rex has been known to be a really aggressive team and got good results out of it(eliminating prime guard and G2, 4th place in masters) and ran double duelists on some maps like Haven and Bind.

What if they copied their playstyle(tenz like f0rsaken with his op, jett, and yoru picks, dapr as benkai with his sentinel, and you can fill in the rest). We know that sentinels are full of cracked players and really, a lot of paper rex's strat devolves down to "jingg and f0rsaken go kill" which is like sentinel's "tenz go kill" strat right now. This strat could surprise a lot of the NA teams and give them a great fighting chance.

2)Get Sliggy in

Team liquid share a lot of similarity with paper rex in that the strat usually devolves into "we're cracked, and we will murder you" and sliggy helped set up that playstyle in team liquid. Adding sliggy as the head coach could help them refine the "cracked players go kill" strat, and plus, rawkus isn't that good of a coach anyways.

Edit: Also he's the one who made double op viable, perhaps he could make Shaz and Tenz both use op and make it work?

Overall, no hate to the players, but I believe these are the strats and changes sentinels needs to get back to the top again.

tldr: get sentinels to play like Raper Rex and get sliggy to mold them into that playstyle

Im happy for you or sorry that happened

W fix + come ShahZam if u wanna improve ur team

Rebuild kekw

i genuinely think this solution can solve their short-term problem. they have lost 2 match right now, and this solution might be able to try. they have to very aggressive & taking a lot of space in the map. It's up to their igl rn.

W post and honestly idk why sentinels are shying away from tenz on reyna and double duelist comps just because its not the meta anymore.. But PRX have shown that you don't need to play according to the meta to dominate

Bro oke we all get it fans wanna see sentinels on to. But give them time. They cant change shet overnight. They got rawkus back now and slowly going to get better. Also you talking about another coach... Doesnt make sense to me, getting in sliggy wont really help them get to top result in. Also sliggy is a top teir coach still doesnt make sense to change rawkus to a second coach now. Anyway i do agree their comp need to change, I feel like tenz should play chamber full time but also shahz has said on his stream that if tenz says he is playing the chamber he can and nobody would say no. I just hope you guys take a chill pill and let the players play and figure out stuff with rawkus. It takes time to get good or and get #1. Also dont think you know everything what they are trying out or what they do in scrims etc. Also paper rex playstyle wouldnt work in NA cause teams are way harder. Paper rex played great in icelands but their comp wouldnt work in NA.

Didn't read

sorry prx play such a unique brand of valorant its not possible to copy...

I AGREE! Finally someone with a brain!

W, i think sentinel really need a REAL coach. I got no idea whyy they still don't make any big changes.

they probably know better than us, leave it to them lmao

A strategy that doesn't involve sinatraa. Props

that playstyle also has a lot of coordination while being fast paced which is very hard to achieve, so i dont think that theyll be able to practice it enough and execute it like how prx does in officials

Tenz stated in one stream that he doesn't like rifling that much

Totally washed

wouldnt work at all cause while prx definetly runs it down, theres still a lot of method to the madness. their style relies a lot on the supporting cast (benkai/mindfreak/d4v41) to help them make the aggressive plays they do. if theres one thing that sentinels lacks its teamplay/synergy.

tenz is pretty fearless in his aggression but forsaken/jinggg do it better and with more discipline. i would rather have sick play a 2nd duelist than any other player on the team because he still has good mechanics.

Sliggy said he wants to be on a team of no lifers i don't think this is possible

Disband is how u fix sentinels

Tldr: delete twitch

-sick +jks

bring in sliggy and you'll see comps of 3 sentinels, 1 initiator and 1 controller or some shit

rare good take on vlr

Sliggy is taking 2-6 month pause

Great idea to improve the current system. Good stuff.
