Yes, it's a 5v5 not 5 1v1. Saying that means nothing to what I said. If it was 5 1v1s, you'd just get 5 superstar duellists. You completely misread my point, which it is what it is.
However, what we got was a mediocre viper performance, and an average killjoy performance out of two players who are by far superior on other roles.
A tldr and summary of my initial point is this.
1) wasted potention of three players on that roster. Sacy, Pancada, Marved
2)viper is gamesense heavy, and lurk heavy. We saw a masterclass from s0m on how to play her on icebox.
3)from an outside view it looks like they shifted their roles because of dephh not doing great on kj. Probably not true, but it looks like that.
A lil bonus aswell. Out of the 5 players, only two of them on that roster played what they've been known for. Tenz and zekken were on their roles they've played their careers. sacy and pancada, not so much. Dephh played harbor first time in an official, so his performance I dont blame as much as if he was on say astra, or kj/cypher.
Overall, it's a 5v5 game, but they didn't play to their advantage. It just looked like what old TSM did. Change roles when one is uncomfortable, and see what works. This role change honestly just looked like "fuck around and find out" from them.
