Before this LAN, I always thought d3ffo was weak in his role as a Jett compared to other Tier 1 teams and that nAts overperformed in his Sentinel role. Here in Berlin so far, it seems that things went back to what you would expect and d3ffo showed a lot of skills while nAts went to what you would expect from a Sentinel player performance (still good, just not hard carry nAts from online). Excited for this 3rd map against 100T

Where the fuck does this stupid idea come from that duelists always have to carry and sentinels need to be bottom of the board.
If you’re playing a more lurking role like nAts and play it to perfection you’re going to be carrying a lot. Most of the best cs players of all time were classic lurkers.
If you’re going to be playing HARD entry on jett, which deffo definitely does often, it doesn’t always enable you to go huge on the frags side, but that isn’t necessary. Frags aren’t the goal, space is.
To think of duelists as fraghungry superstars by default is a mistake.
It's not quite that duelists have to carry or sentinels need to be bottom frag, that's quite extreme. But, in the current meta that is observable by the vast majority of Tier 1 teams you notice that duelists trend towards the top of scoreboard in perfomance and sentinels trends towards the bottom. You can list off all the tier 1 teams and you'll notice that is true. This is just my observation about Gambit, they seemed to have that trend flipped in their previous performances. But in this match, it went right back to what we normally see. The duelists are in fact near the top and the sentinels are in fact below them. It's not about "right vs. wrong", it's just how things are normally playing out right now in Valorant.
