So far Add3r has played Deadlock on Ascent 4 times this season, all 4 times they won the map. The first instance of him EVER playing Deadlock on Ascent was against SaD Esports in W3 of Split 1. They won the map 13-5 and the series 2-1. They then beat M80 on the map with Add3r on Deadlock 13-5 to win the series 2-1 in week 5 of Split 1. In the quarter finals of the MSC they beat Blinn 13-8 to win the series 2-1. In that Blinn game Add3r got 2 kills using ultimate lineups. Now they just beat M80 on Ascent for a second time in the MSC semi finals 13-8. In all of these maps, they ran the same comp, stellar on Sova, bdog on Jett, silenx/ wedid on Omen, corey on Cypher and of course Add3r on Deadlock. Every single time it had worked perfectly. This team comp might be viable in the current meta even in tier 1 play. I'd be really interest to see if other teams adapt into something similar with a Deadlock and Cypher combo.

For a little reference, the last time TTR played on Ascent before they began using Deadlock/ Cypher, they lost 6-13 against SaD Esports in the quarter finals of the Sean Gares Showdown. In this map, they played mikeE on Kay/O wedid on Omen bdog on Jett dazzLe on Sova and Add3r on Killjoy. The main different was Killjoy and Kay/O instead of Deadlock and Cypher. Even though they went through a pretty large roster change, I think this just proves TTR's willingness to adapt and try new compositions. Clearly they experimented, understood everyones strengths and weaknesses on this comp, and made something that works flawlessly, and beat the best team in Challengers NA twice using it.

If anyone else knows of any other cool Deadlock comps that have worked in pro play please let me know, I'm pretty curious about it.

They ran the same comp as TTR. it worked pretty well for a while, they beat NWG 13-8 and KPG 13-5 running the comp. They lost to DRG 5-13 but DRG were clearly the better team in terms of talent.

Seems like they ran Viper, Gekko, Kay/O, Deadlock and Killjoy. They beat G2 13-11 at Kickoff. Then they lost to Loud the very next game. In W1 of Americas Stage 1 they switched back to a standard Harbor/ Viper comp on Icebox and got destroyed 3-13. They still haven't played it since.
