Made another one of these and felt like sentinel would probably be the next easiest one to rank. I feel pretty solid about these tiers but the last 5 is definitely a tough one.
IMO the top 3 is interchangeable but set in stone. k1Ng has been too impressive so far and if it's only based on 2023 he's undeniably top 3. Alfa and Less both play an elite KJ as well as an elite other agent (Less viper Alfa cypher).
Next tier makes sense in my eyes, obviously top 5 in the role but either doesn't play KJ at all for nAts or just not as good as viper cypher or sage for suygetsu. After them it gets tricky because these guys really only play KJ, but are such high impact that I couldn't leave those 5 out. Pretty much all 5 of these guys are standard duelist or initiator players put onto KJ, but they are all fantastic at it and have very high impact. I kind of wish I could've extended past 10 because Cender and D4v41 really deserve a bigger shout out, cender is just solid and plays all 3 agents just not on the level of suygetsu or nats, and d4v41 really isn't a traditional sentinel but plays viper and kj better than anyone on PRX. Victor I added just because he has prob been NRG's best of the revolving door of KJ's. Some guys I also wanted to add would've been texture and lmemore but just couldn't find space
Overall Regional Rankings:
EU: 5/10
Americas: 3/10
APAC: 2/10
EU obviously is and has been the spot for the best sentinel players, with 3/5 also coming from Russia which is not a huge surprise. Americas each has one from LATAM BR and NA and APAC is two great KR sentinels. Overall would like to see more APAC sentinel gods outside of KR, someone like d4v41 or lmemore could be next up. LMK if there's any guys I might've left out or if my ranking is just dogshit but I'm just doing this for fun atm.
