More I think about it and more next time i'll do a video and post on VLR because you guys can't definitely read a tewt longer than a tweet T.T (I still love you guys I also have issues to do that)
OFC the title is putaclick, I'm not fullt sure about that it's just a thougt I have that this might be true
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but seeing the data and analysis, I feel that sentinel are bad, except on heavy defense map like Ascent they are good nbecause they are strong enough to make some site almost impossible to take, but on other map, I think 1 duel, 2 ini, 2 smoke might be better.
In defense, Sentinels are literally useless if they don't hit the site
In attack, Sentinel can't use their utility to take site (And in this meta that usually what make you win the map or not, if you can take the site with less dead than opponent = win), they can only cover flank and lurk, but nothing in their ability help them to lurk (except Cyph cage). Sure they could use their ability to defend the side once it's taken, but that usually mean they can't really lurk. I'm not even sure flank cover is that strong, because opponent can still lurk and take you from behind, sure you will know that might happen, but they can still surprise you by going back, continue lurk, and usually find another way. What is fun, the the only map where they are no doubt you have to pick a Sentinel, are map where KJ have strong retake ult, but retake are only 1 or 2 round, does that justify her pick ? Yes because her concurrence in sentinel is so bad that she is the best idea, no because team tend to think about picking no sent when they have no choice.
I think, Vyze will CRUSH sentinels, because she is the only senitnel that have utility in atk, and setup deadly trap in defense, but she might also crush initiator flasher, this agent allow you to have a flasher that can replace Breach and Kayo and still cover flank allowing you to take a 2nd smoker that can lurk heavily, and this is what will be OP. Doble sentinel is REALLY OP, and you want a doble initiator to take site, she can allow that, her release might be the biggest Viper up ever (Even if I think other smoker might be the 2nd smoker)
Now let's see map per map, what may be the best composition on the 11 maps and see sentinel state :
Ascent : KJ mendatory, heavy defense favor map, kinda the sole exception
Haven : This is a weird situation, KJ get replaced by Cyph, sentinels migh be the right option, but the meta is so chaotic that it's really hard to guess
Pearl / Fracture : KJ maps because for her ult for retake are strong, but meta might have shifted, hard to say, more time pass and more 1-2-2 seems appealing, so is that map got the same evolution ? hard to say
Bind : Sentinel have already almost disapear, and we are already in 1-2-2
Icebox : Best team of the word may be FPX (Both SEN and TH banned Icebox specifically against them, and they where amazing on it in M2), they play in 1-1-3. KJ is picked to hold mid specifically, she make mid impossible to take and she is picked because of that and because she got a good ult for retake (And maybe because it's easy to take a site and when she do it she can easily lock it), FPX comp totally shut down her strength to hold mid.
Breeze : Best team (GEN) play in 1-2-2 (Astra instead of Cyph)
Abyss : The map is pretty new, DRX may be the best playing a classical comp, but EDG may have cracked the code in 1-2-2
Lotus : Best team is EDG, they play in 1-2-2 (And they even play without Viper)
Sunset : More team learn how to crush Cyph trap, less he will be picked, Viper nerf may have save his ass for the moment, but more team realise double smoke without Vip can be strong
Split : Cyph got only 50% PR, you can already play without sentinels, people usually pick a second duelist, but maybe the right option is to go 1-2-2
So yeah, maybe I'm fully wrong, but I kinda believe that even if Sentinels are busted in soloQ, in proplay it easier to antistrat their setup and counter them, making composition with double smoke and doble ini with mush more power. Vyse especially may also participate in the downfall of classical sentinels and allow even more composition with 1 duel, 1 flash (Vyze), 1 reveal, 2 smoke.
I really want you analysis on why Senintel weakness that i point are wrong.
Congrats for 7whan for the win, Congrat to PP1212 to not end in negative
Final ranking
Fair, but Indian GDP is one of the fastest growing in the world, in 10 year they may take Chnia place ecnomically speaking
Thats why mobile Val can be a gamechanger in India
Their excuse is they have no T1, so no international experience ^^
Why ? TH made 3 consecutive event in a raw and manage t have good result
Fair point, but hard to know the diff between the 2 games
That the day when val will equal lol in term of people playing in PC bang we may talk. Here we talk about something like a x8 ratio
no top 4 during other event :/
but defendable
What is she is trans ?
It's really easy, I used a bot that compress 24368486454152 games of Valorant premier comprise, and then the bot give me that result
Still with KR flag
Number of my people that play LoL in PC bang compared to people that play Val ?
Champion ranked in chronological order :
no debate
Switch to KR flag
You guys need to understand, the only reason every region seems "equal" in skill level, its because KR interest in valorant is so low, that our skill level at this game is on par with other regions. If val become a national sport as LoL did in KR, you all are dead.
If TH win :
If EDG win :
Alright so here is first, Valorant T1 is divided into 4 region that all have the same number of spot in every Valorant tournament Asia-Pacific (APAC), China, Americas, Europe-ME (EMEA)
Year start with a double elim to qual for the master right at the start of the year, then we've got one split and the mid-master, and then a second split that qualify to champions.
Every region have 10 franchised team Americas have 5 NA, 3 BR, 2 LA. Europe have 7 EU team, 2 TR team and NAVI (That is CIS or Europe depending on how you classify Ukraine), APAC have 3 KR team, 2 JP team, 4 team from SEA (TH/MYSG/ID/PH) and GE that is supposed to represent India but got almost only import. China have... 10 CN team (Even if you can argue WOL and historically DRG may represent TWHK)
Each region have 2 ascended team that come from T2, thoose are the only team that can be relegated.
If you really want to dig into Val and learn about T2 the world is divided into several subregions
Any team can qualify to T2 region playing premier, that is basically T3, it's a tournament that is integrated in the client that take place any week and with promotion every 2 month.
They are also a fem tournament called GC (Game Changers), with decent team that is close to qualify into T2
About role every team have at least a duelist, a smoker, a reveal, usually a sentinel, and another player that is sometime called flex (but I hate that term, this 5 player may not have a big agent pool, some of them may even be "One agent player" in some metas), this last player usually plays initiator flasher or smoker like viper and sometimes both. The awaper is usually the duelist and the entry, the lurker is usually the sentinel. Some player like to switch role with other player of their team sometime, role are not totally fixed.
Not really sure how to fix, the system should already reward people for playing T.T, it's should be impossible to go lower 1000 if you play enough game T.T
What is fun with KOI is that they might partner with anyone if they loose their franchise, TH-KOI might be a thing
PLayer is really from bermuda ?
Slight mistake it should have 2,19/1,84, but this is nothing too problematic so I let it
