NV vs SEN
Added Astra
Will they beat Sentinels?
Looks unlikely.. Sentinels has the W elo pattern... https://i.imgur.com/dF1djRr.jpg
Normally I wouldn’t hesitate saying Tenz, but that was before this tournament. If we had to take only into account their current form, Tenz is crushing as usual but Babybay looks TRULY unstoppable.
Imma say Faze 2-1 for the first close game these two teams will have to play since the beginning of this tourney !
i agree they're a different team. but so are the Sentinels. Faze are just so much more reliant on Babybay then Sentinels are on Sick. If Babybay just feels a bit off or smth, it's an easy win for Sentinels. Faze just has to hope for Babybay to dominate. Also, Faze basically has only played Icebox and Bind as their last few series. Faze will ban Split and Sen will ban Bind. Sen has a higher chance to win Ascent and Haven then Faze has to win Icebox and Haven.
I mean... here's why you're wrong.
1) Not the best of logic, but Envy were considered by many to be the best team in NA before FaZe beat them. Beat the best and you are the best.
2) Sure, after they beat NRG and T1 teams weren't putting 100% in. Didn't stop them from absolutely railing LG and 100T, both of which are top 6 teams.
3) No one's putting up numbers like babybay and they're riding a streak like it's insane. After beating 100T, LG, XSET, and Envy all in a row you can definitely be considered the best in NA.
4) Who would be better? Sentinels? They have even more to prove! Lost a map to LG, barely beat 100T. Meanwhile FaZe crushed NV. 100T? Just lost to sentinels. NV? Just lost to FaZe.
You can make an argument that Sentinels are the best but it's not as strong as the argument for FaZe right now.
my argument
I would just say that, if a team can beat NV comfortably and then beat SEN as well... that's top team business right there.
Of course, the 'Best in NA' will always be in flux. But, this could be Faze's moment at the top of the pile.
Who else is there? SEN, NV, 100T, LG?
They've got recent clean sweeps on all of them except SEN.
Sure, one game or one tournament doesn't constitute an undisputed champion. But, it's one hell of an accolade.
yeah they are on fire, but the maps they've dominantly played, icebox and bind. sen bans bind first off, and sentinels are not weak on icebox themselves. yeah faze r undefeated on icebox but it's not like sen is slacking there. the maps just don't match up well for faze, that's my point. plus, u give sen an extra week to practice with tenz and run their defaults and sets. i get the hype but if anyone is to stop it, it's shahzam and sen.
You're still caught up in the FaZe of old. FaZe are a LOT better now. corey and babybay were always good at aiming. That's not why they're better. They're better because they're organized in chaos. They are the current best team in NA in terms of synergy and trading. They work off of each other to an extreme degree, something they probably practiced a lot. They've played against other teams where they lose individual fights, but I'm telling you right now, FaZe should be the favorites for this match.
sen was riding a 15 game winning streak on haven before envy beat them in challengers 2. they're the best team in NA on Haven without a doubt. so no, Faze won't take that map.
Second, Sen gets a ban too if you didn't know which means Bind is getting ban. Ascent is the decider here and Sentinels are better on Ascent, there's a reason they're called the Ascentinels. If the maps were Icebox Bind and some other, I would give it to Faze, but as it seems, Ascent, Haven, and Icebox just favors Sentinels.
bro why do you keep replying with the same shit? we understand that faze is on fire and that they beat the arguably number one NA team recently and that this match is probably going to be closer than expected but u dont need to reply with the same shit to everyones comment like i think that everyone gets it
NV is solid, I'll give Faze that win. 100T, XSET, LG, T1, and NRG have all been bad in 2021. Don't even get me started on T1 and NRG. 100T have an identity crisis rn and can't win for their life, XSET started off hot but just aren't on these top tier teams, LG also is a solid team but they're just getting read so easily by teams now. Like you're putting so much weight on challengers 3, and faze had a good showing but you literally can't weigh it that much with all top 4 teams out.
I think this series could go either way. My guess is Icebox will be the best to watch since its an aim map so FaZe will be great on it, and Sentinels already have proven (minus the LG game I think) that their comp is very good on this map. Either way I think this series is a 2-1 not sure who gets the 2 though.
