Did LOUD start the sunset meta?

Am i stupid or is LOUD the first team that ran sova on Sunset when the meta is mainly Gekko +Kayo/Breach

in americas g2 ran sova first because loud didn’t get to play sunset til playoffs

i think they were yeah but it was probably run by someone else on pracs and everyone realized its great taking in count the map was very new

Sova was played by LOUD but it was in their Phoenix comp with Breach/Omen/Viper. The actual Sunset "meta" you're talking about was started by Team Heretics, who played the exact meta comp all the way back in KICK//OFF against NAVI in late February: https://www.vlr.gg/303093/team-heretics-vs-natus-vincere-champions-tour-2024-emea-kickoff-playoffs-sf/?game=160735

sova isn’t even necessarily meta on sunset, you can play almost any initiator combo well
breach/sova
breach/fade
gekko/kayo
gekko/breach
sova/gekko
sova/kayo

all of these definitely got played multiple times in t1 this year
also skye is so shit lol
