SEN SPLIT | VLR.gg

Why are teams allowing SEN to pick this map? I am genuinely curious. Edit: This happened in the past with other teams as well. FNC's Lotus wasn't banned that much and EG's Fracture as well

don't know but pretty sure teams will start perma banning when against sentinels. Their split is looking like EGs fracture

KC beat fnatic on split + SEN played split a lot so a lot of anti stratting could be done in theory but so far SEN look far ahead and they just change enough stuff around to throw the other team off guard

yeah the only way u can beat them is u have to manipulate rotations but they just seem to know when its a fake and when its a hit, they dont fall for anything and most of it is just on the back of playing loosely and not having any set strats which makes it super hard to anti. The only holes they have in that map are on the attack side and even then its solid

they can go 1-11 on attack and id still bet on them winning split defense

they think they can anti-strat since SEN have so much footage
their perma ban isn’t split
they’re scared of SEN’s other maps

I would say Sunset. If teams are deciding between banning Split or Sunset against SEN, they'll probably pick the map they're more comfortable on, which happens to be Split.

Teams may not be as good as SEN in Split
but if they did prepare some stuff for Split , they rather take the risk and play Split, while banning the maps they dont have any things cooked for!

geng will be the perfect counter to sen in terms of map pool ...split and sunset are their bottom 2 maps i think

Geng does better on Jett maps and Lotus. They will probably ban split/sunset against Sen.

sen will definitely ban icebox i think, they have been picking team a and banning icebox, which should imply thats their permaban kinda.....so sen pick sunset, geng pick ascent, sen ban breeze, gen ban lotus and we play bind last....gigabanger

I think it will be either a 2-0 win for Sen or a 1-2 win for Geng.

Geng should be favored in BO5, but Sen has been improving fast.

It's a matter of how much confidence you have in your own play.

If you respected KRU's best maps then you'd have to prioritize playing their bad maps vs playing your good maps.

For teams that are contenders to win Madrid, they have to have a certain amount of ego in their map selection otherwise you might be inhibiting yourself

It's just like EG fracture and FNC lotus last year where teams thought they could beat them on those maps. They got away with it for so long because each team they faced came in with the same mindset of "we'll beat them on this map".

KC was 3-1 on Split throughout EMEA Kickoffs, and for comparison SEN was 5-2 (5-1 if you don't consider their loss to G2 on it). KC probably felt pretty confident in their protocols and strategy on the map considering they were also really solid on Split in their Kickoff event. Not to mention Sentinels having played the map 7 times giving them a lot of footage to review.
