drop the roles SENTINELS are gonna have on their player, i personally think without johnqt or zellsis adapting a whole ass new role this team is gonna have major role issues and flop.

why is first comp bad? lots of teams forego sentinels on icebox in favor of playing viper like a psuedo sentinel
bang plays omen a lot and johnqt plays viper a lot - like I just said, viper is more of a psuedo senti so johnqt roles are fine
"zellsis needs to debut a new agent like kayo" you have zero ball knowledge what the fuck it's literally his most played agent
what icebox games have you been watching brother? ICEBOX MID is very important, you need a sentinel to at all times watch the split or lurk up into kitchen/A split. its the only map where MID is basically a bomb site and if your opponents have MID you lost a site which in the case of valorant you lose the round.
icebox mid is important but not entirely. Big thing is understanding gaps and basic communication. icebox is a map where you can give mid and focus mains (like push through B or leave an A insert in jail or nest). Although i agree having an open mid gap can suck and is scary to try to rotate but there are other options. OG optic roster played no sent (ran a sage who was B player) and victor would lock down tube and under tube using kay0 utility. so it can be run with no senti, just need good coms and possible reclears. Also having good retake strats.
icebox is getting removed for pearl oh rip lmfao, i thought it was staying. but still the concept exists even on pearl cause how big of a map it is. Usually rotating throguh spawn is bad cause its too long. the art rotate is better as its faster. So SEN could ban the map cause of the role stuff but its not hard to learn new roles esp now in off season.
Icebox
Sova - zekken
Gekko - N4RRATE (he can also play Jett ig but I really like the G2 comp)
Harbor - johnqt
Viper - bang
Killjoy - Zellsis
Pearl (no clue what the meta's gonna be, so I'm just gonna throw something very random out there)
Yoru - N4RRATE
Sova - zekken
Skye - johnqt
Astra - bang
Killjoy - Zellsis
I think people aren’t realizing that SEN is gonna use narrate for jett maps and zekken for raze maps. Neon I think is dependent on the initiators she’s played with. A big problem for SEN has been they’re bad at jett maps that’s why during the redbull qualifier they had reduxx play jett and zekken on sova.
New Ascent:
jett - narrate
sova - zekken
omen - bang
kayo - zellsis
cypher/kj - johnqt
New Bind:
raze - zekken
brim - zellsis
viper - bang
gekko - narrate
cypher - johnqt
astra does have regen smokes, i have played her and you can maybe smoke 3-4 times in a round as long as you aren’t using other utility. But I do understand what you are saying about double controller meta. But damn I wish double controller would fall out of favor. Double duelist is so much better because you can play fast executes but with double controller it’s so slow. It’s like watching g2. 😞
icebox is completely different to pearl but teams were kinda forced to pick viper even through the nerf because they 1. didn't want to risk trying new shit and failing(deadlock and sentinels incident). 2. not enough time to prep it so i feel this year we will see no more viper. the only team i actually saw that wasn't shy from transitioning mid season was NAVI when they completely let go of VIPER as well as trying NEON on sunset before her buff.
