Sentinels are in a really GOOD PLACE FOR ONCE

Sentinels finally have a good squad, johnqt is 100x better than dephh mechanically and also as an igl.Pancada is back on smokes so he gonna cook and tenz and zekken are gonna cook. WE GOT ZELLSIS whos gonna help out kaplan and john with strats. Everyone else should just give up

they like good but dont overhype. look what happened to liquid

lmfao the last time they were in a good position was in early 2021

Sen have just always been shit at getting first bloods. They've always been good at winning once they get a FB (mostly due to how every iteration was based on mechanical ability), but they've never been great at converting first engements into first kills. Now that they have 1) no role issues 2) an even higher mechanical peak and 3) the best framework in the orgs history, they should be set up better than ever to be a good team.

Daily reminder that Prime Tenz is just Tenz when he converts his first engagements into first kills. He's basically always in the top 3 of most first deaths but when he was referred to as prime TenZ he just went positive in FB-FD. Like, Sen vs Fnatic finals in 2021, Tenz went 19-2 in FB-FD. He's never been put into a good framework to truly succeed.

Last note, THANK GOD PANCADA IS ON SMOKES AGAIN. 2 points here, kinda related. 2023 was the most valuable Sentinels have ever been, and Sen had a bad sentinel, it just wasn't a fit for pancada. Second point, Pancada was one of, if not the single most, useless players. He didn't die much, he didn't kill much, he didn't clutch much, he didn't do much at all. I'd just pack this in as a symptom of the role change. Just getting him more engaged, PLUS the fact that JohnQT is a better player than deph or (hate me, i don't care) marved were in 2023, will allow the whole team to feel way more comfortable and play better overall.

andd the cycle continues..
