What if the ult itself doesnt have to immediately see anyone, whether ricochet or direct? What if you set the ult up and wait for the first enemy to go through it? Maybe that's what "first contact" means?

But not good for watching flank since youre walking when flanking, so deadlock is more defense sided
Given that phantom and vandal have reduced reserved mags, it seems a bit powerful to be the free ability
Sonic sensor is different in a sense that it detects audio, which can be easily countered by walking, rather than visual
So you know, just turn off the volume and youre good to go
Cooldown as in sage wall will break down on its own if not destroyed (i think in 40 sec)
So yeah, the barrier, after some time, if not destroyed will break down on its own
For me, it's a way to create an agent that primarily to restrict movement, much like Harbor with his all sightline covering (smokes) abilities
Her Sonic Sensor (Q) is placable, I believe
GravNet (C) is a grenade, so no
Barrier Mesh (E) has a cooldown, like sage wall
People seem to forgot that Sentinel agents are not exclusively defensive agents. Unlike Killjoy and Cypher who can set up their utilities on site and watch a large area with Turret and Spycam, Deadlock's abilities are all movement restriction
GravNet (C): "Forced crouch when caught" prevents rushes, strafing, and peeking, although it makes them shoot more accurately by accident. Hold F to remove the net, mechanically similar to Cypher's Spycam or Sova's Owl Drone pings, means you have to hide or move away. Can catch multiple players. The net is mechanically similar to Fade's Seize, where you can teleport your way out when using Yoru, Omen, Chamber or Reyna's Dismiss, but not others like Jett's Tailwind or Raze's Blast Pack. Since it's a grenade, Kay/O's Frag/Ment lineups can be potentially used. I can see that this ability has two charges, ie can be purchased twice, like Sage's Slow Orb.
Sonic Sensor (Q): Mechanically similar to Killjoy's Alarmbot and Chamber's Trademark with two differences. One is that it concusses so shooting is not accurate and no ADS. Two is that it is indestructible, as in you cannot destroy it as it won't be revealed when you are near the edge of detection. Easily counterable if you walk, not shooting, and not using your abilities the whole round. Place it near plant location and enemy will be concussed while planting. The first ever ability to utilize sound as its mechanic. Most probably only one charge.
Barrier Mesh (E): Blocks players' movement, both you and enemies, like Sage's barrier orb but can shoot through it (mechanically opposite to Harbor's Cove where you can go through it but not bullets). The main node and 4 outer nodes are destructible to remove the barrier, where the main node has a higher HP. Destroying the main node removes all barrier while destroying the outer node will remove only the connected barrier. Barrier Mesh's location is key to not be destroyed immediately.
Annihilation (X): 1v1 guaranteed win. The abilities basically detains you to your doom. The nanowire pulse seems to be reflective to reach your target and not going through walls. The speed of the cocoon seems to be the running speed, not walking speed. Seems like a lot of HP. Yes, it's all "seems". Most likely 7 ult points needed, not 8, not 6
To compare with other Sentinel agents, Deadlock's abilities to restrict movement is great for stalling the enemies so your teammates can rotate. Since she restricts movement, pairing her abilities with damaging utils is powerful. She is more defensive against site executes and retakes. She would be great in maps with tight chokepoints like Bind.

But they have at least 1, PRX won't have any if this roster stays without any recruitment
But he's from Indonesia, right? So, my last question still stands
Possible PRX 2024 roster: f0rsakeN, mindfreak, d4v41, something, cgrs
So, does that mean PRX gonna be a Singaporean team without any Singaporean players? That's... weird, I guess
If Jinggg really gonna go into military service while benkai is perma benched, then paper rex gonna be a singaporean org without singaporean players
1 sec left, eg deny plant
Then 0.5 sec left, fnc got the last kill
That's epic
Despite only 6 kills, cgrs got 15 assists as skye
I would say he supported prx well, but yeah, not good enough
PRX 3-1 FNC ggez
Not a script: https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/51930038
actually before this, it was cgrs on the roster but they changed it to something implying something will play
If you look at their roster, something is back replacing cgrs
Just to bring this back, if EDG wins this, there will be 4 CN teams in champions
For diversity between regions:
PRX v EG
FNC v EDG
-----------
TL v NRG
LOUD v DRX
Just flipped the group's winners' position
there's his initial zjc = Zhang Juncheng
Just saying
cuz i dont really rooting for any team rn, just watching for the show
but beside the point, i cant spam for t1
i spammed for nrg and i'm okay but when i spammed for t1, i got 10 minutes timeout?
bro have the script for next match???
Bro gives 25 coins but really we can only use 24 lol
There'll be 4 CN teams for Champions :))))))))))))
So I get it that EMEA will send 4 teams to Tokyo but how about Champions? Will they also send 4 or just 3?
23 minutes and it hasn't started yet...
or is it just me?
interesting I just knew that, there's one team MiTH = made in thailand, do you think there are more teams with that kind of name?
a 3k even!? quack is quick with that classic
can you clarify what this means? never really understand the concept
The first NA vs SA showdown (The second part of the super week (W4)):
SEN 2:0 MIBR
100T 2:1 LEV
EG 1:2 LOUD
C9 2:0 FURIA
NRG 2:0 KRU
NA 4:1 SA lol
Let's see which region is better
yeah, no americas and pacific post match news
If no, why?
Upside down Triangle AMERICAS, red cross EMEA, or blue circle PACIFIC?
