johnqt N4RRATE roles

do you think they decide to make a switch up between them. or maybe even change other stuff up to benefit others. maybe Zellsis takes on the sentinel role like he used while still flexing. N4RRATE becomes like a new flex for SEN by playing like Fade Gekko just according to the map. I just feel like johnqt's calling style is much better when he is on the sentinel role it worked perfectly last year N4RRATE played very well flex initiator last year. not that i like the idea.. but zekken can still play sova say on like ascent where maybe N4RRATE isnt comfortable on sova heavy maps. bang just perma smokes no questions. N4RRATE roles from when he was on KC. Zellsis flex to anything the team needs support wise. zekken duelist/initiator flex. johnqt sentinel.

N4RRATE on sentinel makes a lot of sense to me for a couple or reasons

1. his mechanics make him a reliable site anchor on defense and a reliable lurker who can pick off players on attack. if your lurker loses a fight on attack, it becomes really easy for the defensive igl to read you

2. johnqt on recon helps him stay with the pack and have more control over the game. it’ll heavily improve his mid rounding as he’s directly involved with the play and has the utility to support

I like N4RRATE on sentinel but I don't like Johnqt on recon

facts

Until they repeatedly lose and waste the whole season before we see anychange

sacy was incredibly vocal and could both get the info to john in a concise manner while also being able to call impromptu strats when need compared to n4rrate's shut up and aim style so I believe they thought it would be best to put john in a spot where he can do it himself and n4rrate can focus on his incredible mechanics

i been said this, johnqt on a initator role/flex would better help suit the team as its easier to IGL from + he knows exactly where to place and when to use the util. as for n4rrate shouldnt be too hard learning senti, zellsis though oh lord have mercy

good to see you're doing well dort. i'm doing just fine myself 😄 love u baby

I dislike the switch. JohnQT is a proven site anchor and Zellsis was meant to fill the midrounding role when he lurks. You can already see the adaptation issues in their retake setups where JohnQT forgets to rejoin the pack and still plays as a sentinel — holding space while the rest of the team aggresses.

At the same time, Zekken’s entries have suffered because of the quality of support has declined; before, he’d have Tenz as a secondary either as Kayo/Gekko/Omen, resulting in more explosive space creation. Given the talk I’ve seen of the N4rrate Jett and Zekken Sova combo, I want to see the two build chemistry as an entry duo. Put N4rrate on full time Primary Initiator/Jett while JohnQT can flex with Zellsis for the secondary Initiator/Sentinel slots.

I only want to see JohnQT on Recon when N4rrate is playing Kayo/Gekko and can fight with Zekken. I don’t want to see N4rrate on Sentinel at all.

clone c0ms sova/fade knowledge onto zellsis and make johnqt be the breach player and ez

dont like the switch, n4rrate is too good to be playing setups on sites, thats for john to do
he just doesnt seem too comfortable lurking, and sen shouldve just picked up a better senti player instead of changing narrates roles

Waste of words, Kaplan has already decided the comps

wtf is zellsis on the team for then lul

johnqt was fine playing sentinel, even fns/saadhak igl just as good on senti/breach

yeah, your cooking is burnt

Time and time again we seen orgs make players move away from their comfort roles versus just working around those. It's a waste tbh to do too much arranging and people may not become as good as what they excelled at prior

catNmouse [#8]

what should johnqt play then?

I would've put Johnqt in smokes and get brawk for recon instead

But the current roster and roles are fine too. I just don't see Johnqt comfortable playing recon, but idk he might be insane with some practice
