Zekken: Primary Duelist cz TenZ seems to be low on confidence.
TenZ: sage, kayO, skye etc
Sacy: sova, Breach
Marved: Astra, Omen, Harbor
pAncada: KJ, Viper.
This team might actually go Tokyo. But with the syyko news I also I think SEN is gonna bench tenz or tenz might take a sabbatical. That leaves Dephh on flex but I don't rate him as IGL at all, he gets played like a fiddle.
noxx [#2]Dephh had so many good reads against LEV and they shouldve closed split out if it wasnt for individual misplays, dephh did great theres literally no reason to bench him he had so many good reads on the first two maps
yeah he did look good i wont dispute that but i think kaplan may want to mold his own igl like every prominent coach has done.. come up with an entirely new playstyle, way to call, and playbook and form a partnership with his igl like those mentioned.. some examples of this are fns + chet, mini + boaster, ange1 + doombros, etc all duos known for being together for a long time and building their team together so i could see this happening with kaplan + sacy.. will take time but could work

He honestly didn't. Specially on split it was horrible. LEV was basically doing the same thing every round on A . SEN default is decent but against aggro+coordinated teams they will get shit on. You can't give the IGL all the credit for defaulting anyway. It's just the gameplan. I rate an IGL based on how well they adapt. His lack of adaptability cost them spilt

dephh did better this week but still struggled to adapt to what lev where doing. their ascent defence setup looked so weak, jett op anchor one site while they basically play retake on the other site is so weird. If you cant hold a site might as well fast rotate your jett so they at least have a chance to have some impact with the op instead of playing retake with it every round.

Chet went from team to team until he landed with FNS on Envy back in late 2021, it doesn´t always has to mold his own IGL, an example is ShahZam, who is working with Immi because they have a similar idea on how they want to approach the game

my point is chet and fns have had time together to build.. without the chet fns pairing they would not be as touted as they are and youre comparing tier 2 valorant to franchising so i wont even comment on that
greedeetv [#7]surely the solution is marved in for tenz right? underperforming and now hes injured.
That shouldn't take long to get better. Marved in for tenz creates even more role issues.

it doesnt..
you put zekken on entry like he was with xset he played jett
sacy goes back to prim initiator since zekk is on duel
dephh stays on flex
marved goes to smokes
pancada stays on sentinel
marved and pancada are interchangeable because marved has played sentinel before

true but team chemistry will change quite a bit and also its tenz cmon he was once the best in the world, so we all know he has what it takes, give the roster more time and they will do more damage
