sentinels

do u think they need to ban icebox or do they have smth up their sleeve that we dont know

no sleeve, so they cant hide

Well if they ban icebox against envy then envy will pick ascent. And envy are realllyyyy strong on ascent and sen are pretty bad at it so i think it would be better if they ban ascent since both envy and sen are bad at icebox

if they don't ban icebox they play ascent which they are probably worse at than icebox

its only an assumption obviously but i watch sick a lot and he usually plays the same agents he does in real matches in ranked and he been only using skye on ascent. Doesnt mean they will be good on ascent suddenly but they definitely made some significant changes that hopefully will work

The better question is who's icebox is worse? Sen or Gmb?

No sleeve gang.

downvote me if u want, but they are sandbagging icebox right now to not show their strat. Once you see they play Icebox in palyoff, it WILL BE a completly new look.
They are smarter than that to know to show everything u prepared for in group stage, they are 'struggling' because they know they can get by with their old strat everyoen know about. But as I said when they are pushed to the limit they will show up with something new and turn up to another gear. 100%

I'm sure too they've made changes too but they haven't really tried them out yet. I doubt they would want to test a new comp or whatever it is they're changing in a single elimination playoffs match, especially against Envy.

y would i downvote u lmao , ur right , i mean , if SEN was gonna use their icebox effectively they wouldve done it for the first time again G2 , second time no cuz ( ehhh idk if they tried cuz they didnt have the same angerness/fierceness to win )

SENTINELS ARE NOT BAD, SAVING STRATS FOR THE PLAYOFF. BRAINDEAD VLR KIDS THINK SENTINELS WERE 100% TRYING IN G2 MATCH = CLOWN

dude even i had the same feeling because
in the first g2 match , u SAW how LOUD AND FIERCE THEY WERE , while in the second they were just playing ( gonna get downvoted for this ) but that g2 match was more imp , if G2 won THAT match , then ok sure but g2 won after sen qualified and g2 qualified

you don't just lose 13-3 though

shahzam has said their ascent is a 50/50 so idk if they wanna take risks against envy who also have a poor icebox

You guys can downvote me, too but I also think that they were playing how they usually are in NA tourns, or in your term “sandbagging”, because of course they would save strats for the bigger tournaments like on Reykjavik and here in Berlin. I’m not a pro, but I’ve been watching Sentinels since Masters 1 and I feel like something was off during their rematch against G2. Like they lowered the pace of their game or switched their team playstyle back to default temporarily or somethin. Glad I’m not the only who noticed it ‘coz EU fans keep saying we’re just on copium or somethin LOL. I hope they’ll come back stronger during the playoffs :D
