I used to be a massive Sentinels hater then I realised if Sentinels built the team around TenZ, they could be a top contender as long as TenZ stays on his comfort picks and the rest of the team allows him to pop off, kind of like yay on Optic with the whole team supporting his Chamber.
INSTEAD, they built a team with a mid IGL (IMO they need a crazy good IGL for the team to work such as FNS), 2 "imports" (not exactly imports but not NA) and another great duelist player.
Not saying zekken isn't a good flex/initaitor or pancada isn't a good sentinel player but they could've built a much better team that would've had immediate impact compared to a team that has to grow into their new roles along with learning a new language for pancada.
I would guess the team will be top 3 in Americas with time but I'm not sure if Sentinels as an ORG are willing to sacrifice all that time to build a team that will not pull off the results for quite a while.
