Community's reaction to Sykko vs Chet
zidmz [#2]sykko made the best controller in the world play sentinel so his t5 igl can feel comfortable despite getting rolled anyway
chet mixed around roles to account for the lack of chamber in current meta
Didn't Pancada say he prefered sentinels and only played controller because it's what Loud wanted? The sacy and dephh swaps sure they're a little odd but Pancada's makes sense because the team either needed him to excel on smokes or sentinel and dephh would in theory pick up the other.

I think ultimately the players have a final say in the roles.

Like the post says I really don't get why dephh is being criticized for moving Pancada when, like you said, it's the players decision and Pancada seems to want to play this role.

pancada NEVER said he wanted to play sentinel or that he is comfortable/wants to play this role. why do you keep saying bullshit to defend this dogshit decision? he literally has only played killjoy in his entire career 2 other times lmfao.
they only said about the role switch is that one of the reasons pancada switched to sentinel is because he always been a good lurker.

He spent his whole career playing with Fuzari, Less and Saadhak. When was he supposed to play it before then? If he wants to be a lurker then yes sentinel is the best role for that and it's not really an argument. Controller and sentinel are the two roles that need the least mastery on their agents, and if he's already their only viper player then picking up KJ to fit his playstyle better isn't that much of an ask. KJ's only skill expression ability wise is molly lineups which take max a week to learn. Compare that to switching to Kay/o or Raze and it's nothing. If they're main goal was to let Pancada lurk and he's expressed that to them then yes putting him on sentinel agents is the correct decision pretty much every time.

from his interview it seems more like it was an request from the team and he accepted because he is good lurking.
idk what you guys are expecting, your team is telling you to play another role because they believe this will make them better, would you refuse to play another role?

from the couple of interviews I have read about the whole role changes inside SEN it seems like sykko was actually really skeptical about it and did not want to do it at first. because he had the same thought as pretty much everyone else has 'oh pANcada and sacy world champ on smoke/initiator why take him off smokes/initiator???'

"Sentinels needed a spark heading into the VCT Americas 2023, and they fittingly got one via an audacious suggestion from team analyst DrewSpark. ... Sentinels head coach Don “Syyko” Muir admitted it took some convincing before it was implemented."
"We noticed [pANcada’s] ability to play on an island and be a really impactful lurker was just phenomenal, and it was being wasted on the controller role. Controllers last year were a bit more lurky in the Chamber meta, but now that sentinels are back in play, they fill that primary lurk spot. So with pANcada’s skill in the role, combined with the fact that he doesn’t have to comm as much when he’s on his own, it seemed like a no-brainer for us.”
“The Sacy-to-smokes [idea] was a DrewSpark proposition that at first I shot down. I thought ‘no we can’t do that, he’s an initiator player.’ But the more work he put in, and the more evidence he put in front of me, we agreed to try it out and it looked great.”
cboomer [#14]honestly, feel Chet is pretty overrated but Sykko is literally useless and FNS is thanos compared to dephh. most GC igls have better mid rounding than dephh
Calling Chet overrated is crazy

Bro said controller is the easiest role to master 😂

managing the most successful core to date and a sen flair calls him overrated

Average sen fan

its more about his time before optic lol. He did pretty bad with the NRG and TSM rosters and got spoonfed with the optic core + marved and yay. Not calling him shit but he's not a savior or the best coach just the privilege of managing the best team in Valorant.
