Why are your takes so braindead? "100T don't have a sentinel player but they should sign a really good player and figure out roles from there"
What is 1head and stupid is thinking that certain people can only play certain agents. Sure, should 100T sign someone who fits the chemistry, yes. Do they need to only sign a sentinel player? No.
People change their roles all the time. Jamppi from mainly Jett to Sova. cNed from Jett to Sage on certain maps. Ethan from Omen, to Sage, to Skye. The roles can be flexible. Anyone who can't flex when the team needs it will struggle.
So those thinking that they need to sign more firepower to the team, I agree. It could be a sentinel, or it could not.
Yet there are many cases where people are just straight up unable to play their agent. I mean it is possible to adapt but it's not that easy. I guess for sentinel it is much easier though because it generally is one of the easier roles(unlike cough Astra cough) to learn since it's one of the more barebones just press f when u see people pushing and shoot heads and don't be 2head lol. It's more difficult than that of course but that's the main reason why most teams put new cs players on the sentinel role during early valorant.
so 7/10. interesting take but honestly not everyone can flex like u think, but ur not really wrong in this case.
i think it'd be a great idea to have asuna, a top duelist player in the world, switch off that role!!! or ethan could play a sentinel!
in all seriousness, we saw nitro try to play cypher and it simply didn't work out. so rather than trying to develop players into a new role considering the time that they have now, get a reputed player to fill the role they need.
btw thanks for proving how 1head 100T fans are
Did I say that is how the roles should switch? Man you are lost. Of course no team has seen any success with major role changes. Except Acend switching BONECOLD from smokes to Sova, Starxo from Skye main to smokes, and Zeek to that initiator role. Or Gambit with Chronicle playing three different roles in a single series and seeing success.
But no you are right. Players and teams should stick to one play style and show no flexibility. The point I was making was that teams have seen success in role changes before. They lost some pretty major parts to their roster, so nothing should be off the table as far as a rebuild goes. If a role change makes sense for 100T in server and practice, then they should do it.
But keep crying about Sentinels still losing because "it was a seeding match" against KRU.
I didn't see 100T at champs :/
Also bonecold switched off of smokes because he wasn't comfortable with astra, so starxo had to switch to the Astra role. You can't make assumptions that a player will be good on a new rule given the time they have. Acend had literally 3 and a half months to prepare for champs while 100T have 3 and a half weeks to prepare for challengers. There simply isn't enough time to switch roles and perform at a top level with them.
You make Sen fans look like arrogant small minded buffoons who spout nonsense like prepubescent tweens.
Pretending like professional players canβt learn to play different roles is ludicrous. (You have two on your team That recently learned new roles) *wink
They 100% should take the BEST player available. They donβt have to win RIGHT NOW! They have a month to practice.
