why was xset so good then

zekken and cryo obviously duelists they were really good
but others:
bcj slightly better than the rest
ayrin performing mid on GE
dephh obviously getting igl diffed every game

how did this team get to like 2 masters????

chamber meta

Synergy > ability
And chamber meta

favorable meta + core worked their asses off for a year

chamber meta

but every team had chamber meta no?

Heroics from both zekken and cryo. Also their team chemistry was on point

Chamber meta cryo farmed so hard on that agent .

cryo was NAs 2nd best chamber crutch, behind yay

HardStuckGold [#5]

but every team had chamber meta no?

not every team has cryo on chamber

time and synergy. they had elite trading capability, decent strats that enabled zekken and cryo to farm. also chemistry

They had great team synergy and chemistry

Ayrin

Loud never abused chamber meta
They ran him a few times then never again

chamber meta plus those dudes probablly gelled really well

ayrin had to call defense sides for xset, if that isn't a sign of dephh's limitations idk what is

Because team chemistry is severely undervalued by the peanut gallery.

Just cause a roster is stacked with big names doesn't mean it will work- you can have role issues, language barriers, bad communication, weak teamplay or uncomfortable vibes.

I strongly believed this SEN roster was doomed from construction and you can't blame solely sykko dephh or tenz which everyone seems to want to do.

because they don't have that defensive oper type player

Ayrin is doing pretty well.

the team basically had 2 igls so sykko didn't have to do shit + cryo chamber abuser, bcj is decent and zekken is maybe the only person that was on that team that is legitimately a top tier player

Easy, Ayrin was the true IGL, and the team was carried by the prodigy Zekken and cryo one trick chamber.

If only Aspas played op before champions

Stop undervaluing him. Sentinels will still be shit even after hes fired

Ayrin secret mastermind behind their success. Now backed into a corner with 4 duelist players in his roster he is leading them to the world stage slowly but surely

Bro look at the NA teams during the time Xset made masters, they were all shit except optic, they were just best of the worst

burritx [#21]

If only Aspas played op before champions

aspas's oping style is more in your face offensive type. his op style doesn't really suit him playing chamber. that's why they only played icebox once in champions and aspas didn't have that impact on chamber

Xset won challengers btw. They shat on optic

Xset won challengers btw. They shat on optic

Guard won challengers against them too, Optic never tried super hard in placement games.

no tenz
thie shit

That's an excuse

tbf ayrin is igling on GE and was only igling on one half for xset

I did forget about that, but Sacy also was second caller on LOUD so he probably chips in

They had synergy.. now 2 brazilians with not so clear comms. when you play with people you are friends with, you play better.

half igling

playing valorant on a tier 1 level in something other than your native language must be so tough so i feel for the 2 brazilians ... i just don’t get this international roster
