Pearl Comps

How we feeling on pearl comps?

I think double controllers is a given on this map and so far V1 and C9 both agree it seems. Both teams are running Chamber as well; Deag is good long but personally idk if it offers enough to lock Chamber despite him being so OP. You end up giving up either Sage or Kay/0 locking Chamber and idk if that's worth end of the day.

I think Pearl comp is Viper, Sage, Fade, Kay/0, Omen/Astra but what we thinking

i feel like phoenix is actually decent on pearl

I think the two standard comps will be either c9 comp or v1 comp with the switching of sage and kayo. It will just be up to team prefference

i have been playing it on pearl and it actually seems playable on both offense and defense, it just feels like an aggressive skye on this map, so you can make it work if you want to.

nah Chamber will always be a lock until a decent nerf

I feel like Chamber can be used on any map and it will always be a good pick. Hopefully, I'm wrong but I think every team is just going to lock him until he gets a nerf.

I like his wall on b long and he can really play well around art too since he can cutnlies of sight easily. Could be a good replacement for viper, or any second initiator making the comp more flexible which is the point of phoenix in the first place.

Pearl is a map that gives you many possibilities of comps:

Duelists: I really think that isn't a must have, cause of double initiators works better, but Neon is pretty good at it, Raze a little bit below.

Controllers: Omen and Astra are the best controllers to use in the map because of the many lurks that you can make and the full map control (Viper I'm going to explain next)

Sentinels: I don't know which sentinels are better to use in Pearl, but I think Viper works more as a Sentinel than a Controller in this map. Sage is a must have cause of planting spike on B is really difficult (like Icebox)
I excluded Chamber cause he is a must have in EVERY MAP since he's TOTALLY overpowered

Initiators: Any Initiator is totally viable and strong in this map, but the most powerfull from my plat-dia lobbies are Skye and Fade
