jett is the main duelist, we might see neon popping sometimes but operator angles are too good to not abuse jett
killjoy and cypher probably the main sentinels, kj was the main choice but cypher buffs put him in a good position and hes already pretty strong in the map. maybe chamber sometimes to abuse operator when neon is used
controller is tough because viper got nerfed so the harbor viper is not viable anymore. id say probably astra comes back to being the main controller on the map and harbor is also pretty strong still. prob Double controller with the two
initiator im not really sure, all of them seem pretty viable. but i think maybe breach or gekko are the main Initiators, with possibly kayo in double initiator comps
We might need to stop think into class.
Every team have at least, on Diver, one Smoker, one Reveal (Thoose 3 role are without a doubt for Astra, Jett, Sova, maybe Gekko and Neon have their chance... but meh), and then it's pretty open for either a Sentinel, a Flasher or a 2nd Controller.
Viper can't be the smoker
kj/chamber/cypher
-kj was meta before pearl was taken out of rotation and i expect that to still be the case next year
-chamber was buffed and i expect a lot of teams with good mech players will try ihim
-i expect cypher to be played much less here, but given most teams seem to be more comfortable with him he'll deffo get his chance
-deadlock MIGHT see some use, unlikely imho
harbor/viper
this is a map that heavily favours line smokers, one of harbor and viper should be in every team's comp
sova/fade/gekko/kayo
-sova is the best initiator around, you COULD go for fade tho ig
-gekko
-kayo offers both flashes and active info, on top of the ability to kill any exec with a good knife
yoru/jett/neon
-yoru is a great option as always and he allows your comp to be much more flexible than with any other duelist
-jett
-neon's going crazy rn
second line smoker/global smoker/local smoker/second ini/second duelist
-second line smoker on pearl wouldn't hurt, no?
-astra and omen are very good in general
-clove is a common comfort pick for some, brim could work maybe?
-second ini is pretty much a must if you're picking sova and not yoru, one of kayo, gekko or skye will suffice
-second duelist if you went for yoru and are feeling fancy, it can work, look at dsyre on haven
that said, i would pick the following comp:
kj, viper, sova, yoru, harbor
Meta comp with sen as an example
neon - Zekken
gekko - N4rrate
viper/harbour - Zellsis
astra - bang
cypher - JohnQT
My only comment on this is I think Harbour might just be the better one to play just for the hightide and cascade allowing them to move around the map, whereas viper is gonna be stuck to a side
