Is Deadlock + OP the way? For VCT

From seeing Jawgemo’s Deadlock in Icebox the skill works pretty well and when the enemies try to clear the traps and wall he can get kills by using OP so is this the way that teams would use deadlock? not to play like sage but play like defensive sentinel

My only concern about EG's deadlock strat is that it looked pretty one dimensional. Worked well against G2, but they were doing the exact same strats against Loud and just got read so easily. It looks good the strat, they just need to mix it up and give it some variety though to REALLY make it good
