How to defeat Sentinels! (in B03)

#1

Rizvi

Ban Icebox map: They have lost 1/12 matches on Icebox, that too was a throw against 100T.
Sentinels are usually banning Bind. So that makes No Icebox and No Bind!.

Sen will go for Haven, Play Split second and Lastly Ascent.

Haven is their strong map, But they always get complacent in the second half. Teams pulling 4 in the first half will have a good chance.
Split is a tough map for Sentinels specially after they got bolstered by C9 there.
Ascent is usually anyone's game. But Sentinels Ascent matches aren't that much of a statement in contrast to their Icebox and Haven.

I wonder why they ban bind, they have 100% wins with TenZ there.

But yes, No Icebox and a Split as second map could trouble Sentinels. More importantly ShahZam gets in his groove once he plays Jett on Ice, then its just GGs even if he goes SOVA.

What did I say? Sen banned Bind themselves against Fnatic and Vks. They don't ban Ascent.

I am not debating about that, I am just saying that opponent should ban Icebox and make them play Haven and Split as the first two maps.

i don't understand why teams ban split when playing against sentinels. They were so poor when playing against c9

This is the most unrealistic strategy. So basically you are comparing your stupid brain with other pro team's coach's.
But then it makes sense you are from eu.

Bro why be toxic, I was just saying that Sentinels should be kept away from Icebox and made to play Split. Just look at ShahZam's ACS in the two games he has played Jett.

Nobody use sova on split. So Shahzam plays Jett and TenZ plays Reyna cuz he is no good on Raze. Sick opts for Sage and Dapr with tha lurk in Cypher and Zombs on Astra to control. It is true they lost against C9 on split but their split is strong and that's undeniable. The only maps where they can possibly choke is Bind and they ban bind

As a sentinel fan
I think beating sentinels on split is harder as compared to Ascent.
Sentinels loss to c9 on split was a one time thing and imo only C9 could have done that.
Where as on ascent any team with good strats can give sens a tough fight (may even win).
So pick Ascent as second map.
Somehow break their confidence. then maybe Sentinels can be defeated.
bt Gl doing that #FullSEN

Okay we both are here and watching. It's just a fun bet!

Sentinels Play Nuturn in upper final possibly.
NUTURN obviously bans Icebox, SEN bans Bind.

They will play Haven, Split and then Ascent.

SEN will win Haven and Ascent but lose Split. (2-1)

As much i wanna see sens play nuturn, imo V1 will win that.
so idk abt that.
bt alright fine, since we both here the bet is on
i think whoever sens plays they will win 2-0
if not, maybe 2-1 bt they won't lose split fr sure.

If this happens, I think SEN wins Haven, loses Ascent and Split will be a tough one.

Taking Sen into Heaven and Split is the worst decision you could ever make as a team (imo)
even tho they lost split against c9 i feel like they have gotten much better at it (remember every time sen loses a map or a series "somehow" they get a lot better the next series) and yea we've seen sen on heaven i dont need to comment on that one.
i feel like they are the most vulnerable on ascent and bind(which they ban) but who knows we have not seen any of that so we can only speculate.

p.s. "somehow"=shahzam

Sentinels won't win against Nuturn on split although they will win the whole game.
