Welcome, he's the 117th one of these today. Do I care? No.
So, with some leaks today, Sentinels have likely picked Zekken and Deph. So, here is my team:
- Zekken (Dive)
- Deph (IGL or T side IGL)
- Tenz / Dicey (Operator primary)
- Marved / Valyn (Controller in Marved's case, Valyn would be controller + CT side IGL/ IGL, but that's for later)
- Trent / Ethan (Initiator)
6th men: Dapr and Sick
Lemme explain:
Zekken, Deph, Tenz, Marved, Trent is of course the higher overall firepower of a roster. Comparable to the XSET roster, just with an improved controller, Initiator and a comparable OP primary. This roster does take a hit in defensive midrounding due to that being AYRIN's job (I may have him and deph's jobs backwards), but its worth the increased power.
Before I get to the 6th men, first I'll address the 'backups' in Dicey, Valyn, and Ethan. Lets start with Ethan. Flex initiator, got experience, very good player. You could easily throw Eeiu into this spot if you prefer a dedicated Info Initiator, but Trent kinda covers every initiator so whatever. Ethan is just here because Trent is pretty iffy for his roster position. Next is Dicey. Literally top 5 chamber's / OP primary's in NA right now. That's really it. I'm just put this here, but if he and Supamen don't get signed as EASILY top 5 at both of their positions, i will cry. Then last is Valyn. "Wronghand, you just mentioned Supamen, why isn't he your backup for Marved?" Because, I'm throwing Valyn in here for some interesting shit. Valyn is a very good controller, and having 2 IGL's (regardless of one not calling) helps both coaches and players.
Ok, now: Why are Dapr and Sick 6th men? Because they are, quite simply, the perfect 6th men. Dapr is, at his core, a great lurker and amazing site holder. He's the true 6th man, that (in my dream comp) gets rolled into maps like Ascent to play an expert Killjoy on B. Sick is another perfect 6th man as the other architype (the two archetypes of 6th man is a Cover and a One-Trick) since he has played basically everything. Zekken has an exam? Sick is here to entry. Trent stubbed his toe? Don't work, sick is playing Skye at a International level. Controller player has a tummy ache? Sick's a great controller. Sick as an emergency cover, and Dapr as a One-Trick to sub in to just RUIN the scouting.
That's why I got Valyn. He can solo IGL, and Dapr can swap out Deph to One Trick a site. That's it.
So that's, my sentinel roster with legitimate reasoning, unlike most other ones. Now, my closing statement:
Marved => Supamen > Bang, Fight me.
