It felt like they were betting on that comp to work going into champs. We saw sentinels invest a lot of time and games into making the deadlock comp work, only to lose most their games on it. Even going into champs they tried that comp in their first game against GENG.
But when it didn't work, they had very little practiced comps left (think it was their old ones and the zekken neon one and that's it). They played against FNATIC with the same comp they ran at the start of the year and had very little warm up on it. To think they still won against them and went to 3 maps against heretics shows how damn good this team was, and makes you think how much further they'd have gone if they had spent all that time on a better comp that actually worked for them.
