Good for teams that know how to default and play defense
Bad for FaZe

I feel like it's almost always bad, because it is super hard to take space without a duelist, but some teams with a great igl can make it work

U need to have 2 or 3 initiators, than it works at least on some maps

advantages

more utility in a certain area (initiator, controller, sentinel), better defaults
some maps don't need a duelist since there are other ways to attack sites (Icebox, Ascent, probably Pearl)
defense is usually a lot stronger

disadvantages

can be hard to create space if you play it wrong
star player may not be comfortable if they suck

"stronger" doesn't mean auto win.

FW had a very strong offense comp as well.

I think any comp is viable as long as the other team practices it and know how to use it well at the right situation. Some comps get hard counter though.

Works if team has synergy and the players are not afraid of entering or else you just gonna wait to get gifted a pick or wait till 20sec to push
