I dont know how to feel about zellsis replacing pancada. I think they are both great players but i dont really know which one is better for the team
sideshow reiterated this point many times, tenz isnt ur run of the mill omen plaer, his role in the team is to get aggressive and take space like what jawg was doing and plus tenz is only playing omen when they are running double controller(or cypher) which lets him have more freedom to do what he wants and even if he dies first it isnt a problem. Think about it like this, zellsis is the anchor while tenz is being used for his aggro playstyle to get more space and information and if pancada did that it would be horrible because hes an anchor/lurker and if zellsis did the same thing as tenz he would also fail miserably, zellsis is the only player that can be replaced by pancada rn but zellsis just brings more value
that brother has not watched pancada enough, less was the lurker and sen 2022 had an issue of not having a lurker, forcing pancada to lurk which obv was not the best. Pancada is also a bit more passive than tenz or zellsis on omen, which is why I think they prefer others since they want someone aggressive alongside zekken imoooooo
i think the problem with the roster is between those 3 players (tenz - zellsis - pancada) zellsis is the best support player out of them tenz is the most aggressive and pancada is the lurky type who looks for space between rotations and takes advantage of that to get 1v1s
a lot of the time you see zellsis setting up tenz and sacy setting up zekken on other areas of the map and you can do that because you have 2 aggressive players and if you are just doing executes zekken is the 1st one to go in and tenz the 2nd
if you bench tenz for pancada he wont be the player going in 2nd after zekken and he wont be setting up anyone because pancada is not a support player and you have 2 lurks since you have johnqt and you lose half your attacking power to lurks
if you bench zellsis for pancada still pancada won't be the agressive guy and he is not supporing others like zellsis
so the obvious solution is to bench pancada not because he is a bad player but the meta doesn't allow him to play lurky on smokes while having a sentinel on the team smokes player need to be aggressive on sentinels
