shoot me your optimal pearl comp and tell me why, im curious
skye and fade for initiators: this map has a lot of corners that skye and fade dog can clear
raze for duelist: as i said initiators, a lot of corners in with the grenade is gonna be useful
chamber: he plays long b as a awp
omen or viper: viper probably better with a slow paced game and omen can bring another flash for executes
I think pearl will benefit from brim/viper or astra/viper whilst you would probably want a fade and someone that can flash, get good info around mid, so skye. I also think just skye can probably work since sova isnt as good and skye can clear mid alone.
Im thinking
Brim
Viper
Skye
Fade/chamber (if you want to run single initiator)
Chamber/raze/jett/neon
Yeah personally, i think no duelist is probably the best comp in my comment because the chokes arent as tight on this map, just like icebox. I would say double initiator double smokes no duelist would probably be the strongest comp. But idk im not an analyst or coach. Also i can see a double sentinel comp too with no duelist (around kj and chamber too).
fade - busted on this map, great util for info, teamplay combos with raze/others. very solid, better than sova easily
skye (or breach/kayo) - also very strong, lots of good flash plays from good skyes, but i like breach/kayo too mostly about preference
sage/chamber (or sage/killjoy) - sage util is very strong on this condensed map in general, chamber i throw in for preference cause he's just busted
viper - another must pick with fade imo, viper is super strong on defense (b site) and is strong on attack (attack sided map anyway)
raze (or any tbh) - i like raze but all preference, raze is just good pair with fade/sage, solid kit overall
Based on little I've played (I know pretty crazy comp):
Brim/Omen/Astra
Neon/Yoru
Raze
Fade
Chamber/Cypher
I would try some of those combinations. Depends what you prioritize. I think Brim and Yoru are underrated. Brim fast smokes and stim can be good for aggressive space taking and Yoru has a lot of placed to tp to and hide in to cause threat around the map. Also his fake and flash seem to be quite good in this map.
