One of the comparisons people have made with Sentinels is to Astralis, of course in the name of overhyping the team to oblivion. Sentinels is not like Prime Astralis, and anyone who watched Astralis rise and maintain the peak of FPS dominance pretty much ever seen, in an era where Team Liquid was a team that was incredibly dominant themselves, know this is stupid. Sentinels is overhyped, and likely will not reach the peak that everyone expected them to, this tournament shows that.
Not to mention, it's about time Sentinels gets a coach. It's a whole job for a reason, because the time investment into coaching properly is insane, and whilst Sentinels were very dominant, the strats have developed to the point now where relying on out aiming the opponent is becoming less viable. Shaz has done a damn good job as the coach and igl, but as the game develops, it's going to become less and less viable, a la the situation with Coldzera and the Brazilians not having a coach in CS.
