sacys skye is mid so this indirectly helps sen going into the sova/fade meta as well as kayo/gekko tenz flex (might put zellsis on the gekko). all things point towards sen having a good year honestly, even though im a sen hater.

I think sen knows what was the bad decisions and trying to make way better decisions and I feel sen has been grinding since lcq to show new reformed sentinels that might spike to their peak . They defo have the team to that as well. Kaplan says multiple times they are grinding hard , let’s hope it pays off
It's not the decisions they make or the comps or anything game related. Imo the most important factor is the pressure they have to be the ones who save the most popular org and fans expect them to recreate Reykjavik 2021 and win everything flawlessly they just can't handle it specially zack and tenz
i think breach is somewhat good enough to be played on some maps but im not talking about there being a good replacement for skye, there's certain aspects and adjustments they have to make now that skye's gone that'll end up affecting their gameplay. Things like pistol rounds need to be looked over bc now they won't have Skye's reliable healing, site execs with breach are not only different but harder to coordinate with a Raze engage to be as reliable as Skye's bird so that needs to be looked over too, the lack of presence of a regenerative flash will have them manage their mid and early rounds differently, etc etc.
They've made Breach work on Sunset though so its not all doom and gloom, but breaking a habit like this to develop into the new meta completely is def hard and they weren't showing that kind of adaptively last year when the double controller meta came to be. On top of allat, they also have to consider their playstyle when they aren't playing against a Skye in her meta maps.
i mean we don't even know if some or even the majority of teams are willing to change their playstyle bc of how late it is into the offseason. Skye might still see a lot of play during Kick Off and SEN in particular I feel are the most likely to do just this since they found immense success of the current meta during the off season. Change is risky no matter what at the end of the day, SEN found something that worked wonders and now they're being threatened to adapt.
If we're talking abt bind specifically i dont think Breach would work cause Skye was mainly used as a free early info gatherer where teams could just send a bird at the beginning of the round and still have 2 flashes to be used int he middle of the round.
If breach were to be used then theyd have no reliable info gatherer which makes it significantly harder. So I personally think Sacy's gonna be playing either Sova, Fade or Gekko (sleeper pick tbh low key think itd be strong) on bind
