Will change nothing in the team. Literally nothing. He is not respected enough, players will not obey him, especially because he comes from overwatch and probably has zero fps tactical depth.

considering Faze is rebuilding I think this is a good possibility! So they have Zacharee(Sentinel or Controller), BabyBay(only Plays Jett), and Corey(Raze, Sky, or Reyna: mainly sky). So I could see Sinatraa fitting in

In the end, they could still all be called the Overwatch boys lmao. Especially if Corey decides to stay with Faze, there could still be better communication between the 4 of them than just picking a random (albeit good) Sova/Raze player

This is an interesting move. Previous experience with Zombs from ages ago, was always a smart player/emotional leader when in Overwatch League. Considering coach can be a pretty broad term, it doesn't necessarily mean he's doing all the strats and things like that

I know, but analyst skills usually come with experience. Rawkus doesn't really fit the profile as an experienced coach/player.

Hopefully I'm wrong and he makes a positive impact on the team.

Well shit. Probably the biggest weakness of FaZe was really the tactical side of things and the IGLing so it caught me off guard that any FaZe player, especially anyone other than BabyJ would ever become a coach. Obviously you don't need to be an IGL to come up with strats and game plans but it's still surprising to me. What is even more surprising to me is that there's coaches available who, either, have a good resume and a pretty long background in coaching(in both cs and val) like mCe or who have had good success in Val(like Mikes) and they went with the inexperienced coach who wasn't even an IGL either. To me, this is a questionable move but adding a coach shouldn't really hurt them because I refuse to believe ShahZaM would allow anyone to come in and do anything strategically that would hinder the team and they've been lacking on the coaching aspect since release. Nonetheless, this is an interesting move and I'm curious to see how Sen will change because of it.

Agreed. I feel conflicted, on one hand, it doesn't look like a good move in the slightest, but on the other, I want to trust the Sentinels and the team. They know more than I do.

its a trial and error thing, they said they've tried a lot of coaches up until now

no matter how impressive your resume is, doesn't matter if you don't mesh well with the team as a coach and person

and its not like he lacks the understanding or experience of what it takes to win big events, he's lead a team to winning the final owwc, he knows what that kind of run needs to succeed

at the very least im sure his presence wont be a negative impact on them

If this will go as in FaZe than SEN rip in groups. Why someone who has just been player all his career is the best option to be coach of the most promising #1 team world? doesnt make sense, even Shaz was saying that there is no need for coach, what convinced him? What magic Rawkus is bringing? im curious... Only thing they need is game analyst and some mental coach, But not some tier 2 player that was tier1 support in hiding-behind-barier game healing his tanks...

you must be dumb af, you werent lying with your nickname. thats exactly what rawkus is going to bring in the table, analyzing opponent and help sen thinks how to counter them, sen has great players with good mechanics, and rawkus said it already in the stream that they dont need help with game mechanics, he will just help add things on the table and think (analyze) for them. dumb dumb

Interesting move. While an extra set of eyeballs is always welcomed in any endeavor, I see this more as a move to protect the core of SEN. Most coaches will have a say in roster moves and strategy. I don't see this as Rawkus' role on this team. Rawkus is fairly known to be a friendly and cooperative person. His likely role will be as a facilitator in the coach role.

This sort of fits what Shahzam was looking for in a coach. If they would have grabbed a coach that was a prior csgo professional then there may have been some tension when it came to game decisions. Coming from Overwatch, Rawkus is always going to be learning the game and steps behind someone like Shahzam. There will never be situation where Coach Rawkus will be able to say "x" player is doing "x" poorly as it will just be quickly dismissed as speculation from an Overwatch player. So in the end you get a cheerleader who will probably do some analyst type work for Shahzam. Not exactly a coach but fits what Shahzam was looking for in the role.

I'm not sure I agree with the "there will never be a situation.. " being dismissed as speculation from an Overwatch player (sure he wasn't a CSGO pro but he was a Pro Valorant player), but otherwise for the most part I think you are correct that he is there to keep the mental positive and bring a different perspective in (which was kinda Sgares' take). Shahzam still calls the play as what most would traditionally think of a coach role but you got Rawkus there now to have the outside perspective of what is or isn't working -- It's harder for a player to notice weaknesses or strengths and shahz still does it well but there will always be things you can notice as someone watching that you wouldn't notice as much while you're playing simply because you keep most focused on actually playing the game.

Gares was talking about how having someone from a different game would probably be beneficial to Sentinels. While its important to have the fundamentals that they already have-- if you look at like how Gambit clapped G2 on Icebox -- Nats was just running circles on em, dude was a fkn ninja I havent watched a ton of him play, but the brief times I did watch Nats stream it seemed like everytime someone had thought 3 moves ahead on the enemy team... he thought 4 moves ahead his anticipation of how the enemies would play is impeccable. As weird as it sounds sometimes the play that no one expects can be more beneficial -- you always see streamers (hiko,zam,sinatraa,etc) "what the fk are they doing there.. why would you (do this), it doesnt make any sense' and some of the time they are correct they just got lucky doing something stupid but a lot of the time they did it because it works and knew they would gain a big advantage on crosshair placement and yeah a lot of that shit just works in ranked but some of it translates -- especially when you can read the enemy team. Swear some of those rounds it seemed like nats knew the timing of when someone wouldn't be looking so he could move thru an opening.
