WaffleXt [#2]nAts is a cypher main too so no problems there
But he is also a viper main
Isn't he the one who literally started the viper on bind meta with that a site u hall lurk wall?
Like viper is one of nats comfort pick yet he doesn't pick it on one of the best maps for viper
GLN321 [#4]off meta picks pay out if your rival doesn't expect it and omen on bind is really down to preference, the paranoia has amazing value and you can play with the tps as well
Then why wouldn't they go with fade over sova? Sova is such a troll pick on bind.
I know they won and all, but I don't get how having a sova over fade benefits them in anyway possible.
idk if u watched the match or not but they basically used the cam to hold hookah , long , and showers , and d3ffo skye will be ready with his flash and play contact and they got a few openings like that and sova isnt bad on bind (idk why they didnt pick fade maybe because sheydos isnt comfortable on it) and redgar omen was just smoking deep short and just refreshing his smokes , obviously its not normal but it seems viable

Because viper doesn't have the sort of choke hold she used to on a side and they're having chronicle play raze which means there is no chamber and so they need a sentinel. I think the comp was great and I'm happy d3ffo is branching out now that this performances are becoming more inconsistent

What abt attack?
Sova on defense isn't the worst but it is just bad on attack
Idk why people think he's still good on bind. He's not and fade really replaces him in every way possible.

who says sova is a troll pick on bind? It may not be meta, but it wasn't long ago that teams were using him on bind, maybe redgar feels more comfortable on sova than on fade and it may have screwed with acend's preparation as well, who knows

chronicle on raze + sova and skye won them attack

1st: it wasnt nerfed yet when teams were picking them and when it got nerfed and fade came out, sova's usage rate plummeted.
2nd: in addition to the abysmal pickrate, he also have an abysmal winrate on bind(you can check the stats if you want), especially against teams that weren't picking sova. Sova dart gets like barely any value on bind because u hall, showers, and hooka exists, his drone clears barely any and there is so many better replacements (Skye dog, fade cat, boombot). His ult and shock dart is decent but I don't think that is the reason anyone pick sova.

you're viewing the game like everything is black or white. There's no absolute good where there's only one good pick and other stuff is troll picks. You don't know what goes on when they decide their comps. You say that sova is so bad, maybe acend thought that too and as a result didn't think about what could be done against sova. Pickrate doesnt mean anything. What matters is that it worked out for them as they won comfortably, don't know why you're taking such an effort on questioning something that worked
