Critize me if im wrong too
If they want to continue their success their need to experiment more with there comps. This Masters and Kickoff out of all the teams, they add probably the most basic comps on their maps which isn't bad because over the offseason they perfected it but isn't neccessarly good either. This is because in the beginning of the season every team is experimenting with new comp ideas in a new meta (this is why teams like Fnatic didn't qualify, new meta for everyone to adjust too). Over the year we'll see the meta become for concrete and teams perfecting them even more.
I didn't watch much Fnatic but this could be the reason they lost champs last year is because they perfected the kind of basic comps on every map but with LOUD's new comps got exploited so they lost but I could be wrong.
In order for Sentinels to not fall like Fnatic seemingly did, they must adjust their comps aswell and they have the perfect time to do this seeing as they already have 6 more championship points they can afford to troll some games experimenting. Based on their maps, the main ones to experiment on are obviously Breeze and Split.
Breeze - Zekken and TenZ are Sentinels dynamic duo and rely a lot on each other, if one is playing well the other isn't either this is why their jett and kayo don't seem very good, this is why they should move agents around. TenZ should move to Yoru, we already have seen he is crazy on that agent and allows him to keep playing agressive with easy ways to safety, Zekken should either stay on Jett or move to Neon, he played on her previously on XSET and maybe good for even seeing as his op isn't anything special. Then move Zellsis to Kayo, imo better than TenZ on it and move JohnQT to Viper. Sentinels play a very slow game which is why they probably fail on Breeze which is more a quickly get onto site and plant map, with this comp they could easily do this and should work especially because they all have crazy aim.
Ascent - Personally I think this will just be a perma ban for them, other teams are just better on it especially seeing as you need a really good jett player to win these maps and zekken isn't the best jett
Also during this time Clove would have been out and this is perfect time for SEN to capitalize on it by letting TenZ play it which is perfect for their type of team play as SEN like to play very slow and for TenZ he is very aggressive and is often punished for it, with this he can be aggressive and if he dies still smoke and such
Hopefully they can keep their run going, SEN to me look to have all the best aspects of each league, Midrounding from Americas, Aproach to the game like EMEA and aim like APAC
Many people have said remove Sacy but he adds that veteran spirit to the game (even though zellsis and johnqt same age as him) and he is a clutch god
