why does everyone underrate yoru? legit he gets p decent value on this map that imo puts him equal to neon

I fully agree. The overwhelmingly vast majority of VCT teams don't :(

the harbor ult is also better than 9 orb viper ult

Harbor's ult is definitely a great counter for Viper's ult, but you can't really say it's better than it, especially with expected value taken into account

Here's where I see things going:

Neon/Jett with a bit of Yoru (kinda like Haven)
Primarily Gekko or Sova, maybe both, with a bit of other stuff thrown in there like Fade, Skye, or Breach depending on the team (double initiator for sure)
Probably just another Omen map, let's be honest, but Astra might see considerable play here as well
For sentinel let's be real, it's probably just gonna be a ton of Cypher like every other this-used-to-be-Killjoy-but-Cypher's-too-good-of-a-solo-sentinel-nowadays maps (e.g. Lotus, Haven, even Ascent sometimes)
