100T play worse versions of the comps that they could easily play.
Agent Choices:
Asuna: Not playing the Raze is understandable, but still somewhat questionable as it is his best agent. Sometimes the speed from the Phoenix and the better ult are worth it, but still... Raze is the better agent in terms of utility and the better agent for Asuna personally.
Ethan: Now that we have seen his Skye it is good enough to play wherever if he puts some time into those maps. His Sage is still his best agent, but there are maps and comps where the Skye is just better. He should be able to learn some duelists, perhaps Jett, in order to increase the number of comps that 100T can play. Ethan should be able to take the title of the best player on the team from Asuna in the near future as he continues to get better at Valorant.
Hiko: Still one of the top tier Sova's in NA, and a pretty good Breach when they want it for split. I like the breach a lot but Skye is ironically better right now given the prevalence of Viper and the double smoke compositions that sometimes can make Breach underwhelming. If he just played a bit closer to trade for the team their round winrate would improve a not insignificant amount.
Nitr0: Arguably the best Omen in NA, and top 3 for sure, which makes him playing Omen more than Astra like they should largely understandable, but almost certainly still the wrong choice. His Viper was reasonable but I feel as though they could have gotten more out of their comps with him playing some Astra, some Sage, and possibly some Jett.
Steel: Hey, Cypher is kinda just better than KJ, thanks. Also Viper is the best hard site anchor in the game. Steel being limited to KJ, Cypher, and Astra, and only playing two of those, really stopped 100T from playing the best comps on the maps they played. Hopefully he can learn Viper in order to allow for double smoke compositions with the right players playing the right agents.
Compositions by Map:
Ascent: Steel KJ, Nitr0 Astra, Hiko Sova, Ethan Sage, Asuna Raze. So many great utility combos here, but it is understandable that they wouldn't choose it. Asuna's Phoenix is excellent, and it makes the comp faster, but the Raze has so many combos with the Astra and Sage. The KJ and Sova also have great combos with the Astra and the Sage as well. Nitr0's Omen is excellent, but the Astra is currently better as an agent and in the optimal comp. I could see Ethan playing Sova and Hiko Breach in the future, but I feel like it does not fit them that well.
Bind: Steel should play Viper, Nitr0 the Astra, Hiko the Sova, Ethan the Skye, and Asuna the Raze. This comp is the best (or tied for best against the comp with Brim instead of Astra) bind comp. Watch some Fnatic games and other EU games and you'll see how good the comp is. Great utility combos, excellent post plants, great agents.
Icebox: Steel viper, Nitr0 Sage, Hiko Sova, Ethan Skye, Asuna Raze. An incredible amount of information gathering and great post plant ability. There are also some good general utility combos for midrounds between the Sova or Skye, and the Viper because of the information gathering nature of those agents comboed with the Viper walls for spamming through off the info. Ethan and Nitr0 could switch agents but this is the comp that they should shoot for.
Haven: Steel should play Cypher, Nitr0 the Astra, Hiko the Sova, Ethan the Skye, and Asuna the Raze. Great information gathering, excellent utility for post plants and retakes, good utility combos for midrounds. They played the Omen instead of the Astra, which is almost certainly incorrect, but it is understandable.
Split: Steel should play Viper, Nitr0 should play Astra, Hiko the Breach, Ethan the Sage, and Asuna the Raze. Just a great comp for the map, incredibly utility combos, great retaking ability, attacking ability, etc. Very good defensibly and offensively. Surprising that more teams don't play the comp.
Sorry for the essay, but any thoughts about 100T and compositions in the future?
