I like to be optimistic but in my honest opinion, the only way Sentinels gets out of that group is if they play double duelist.
- If you look at teams like GenG, LEV, Fnatic, they have more than 2 players who have carry potential. Where as players like johnQT and Zellsis can step up in occasions they will barely carry the team towards victory when the going gets rough. Even from the players rating for the whole year, you can see it's upto the Tekken duo to own the server(other players on the team contributes in their own ways).
- Duelists as a role is stronger than ever. Alt duelists like Neon, Iso, Yoru etc are better than ever and Jett, Raze are still very viable. Although, SEN has experimented with deadlock a bit, they haven't yet jumped on the new meta.
- Zekken and TenZ are the perfect duo to complement each other in space creating duelists and support duelists roles. For ex. Zekken could play jett and TenZ iso or vice versa. Omen is a very strong agent for TenZ but as we have seen in the 100T game, he could get a 3k and SEN would still lose because he can't escape or make distractions like a duelist agent can.
