Yea, for their comp, they were fundamentally wrong in their approach. They need to stop worrying about what geng will bring, and start playing their own game. Be more silly, be more open, more fluid, take more risks and they need to prioritize zekken. And they need to switch off from a cypher on Haven because that garage set up is horrible.
The round where texture updrafts over and they essentially crunch C has one of the worst cypher set ups. You cannot use a trip like an alarm bot or turret for just info, you need them to get a pick as theyre entering site, but John in C did not have an angle to get a pick for the tripped guy in garage. Plus, they didnt have anyone push down C and hold for info (many teams will do this to get information), and no one to watch garage from CT (this is normal), which is why when the site hit happens, johns only trip is deep into site so it doesnt stop the flood into site, texture is able to easily wrap around because of his smokes and no one watching garage from CT and because they didnt have an aggressive push into C, they were also worried about a C main player. Essentially, with such a shitty set up, they somehow managed to create a way to ideally get crunched 3 way into C. Its just much better to use a cam to watch garage, and have at least 1 cypher trip for garage or main flood imo.
Back on ascent, I remember the kay o ult round where he farms john and tenz on site, the cypher cam is on the wall facing into a link and not on an angle to get any info on mid. If they had a cam set up on the cat, or maybe market which looked into mid, theyd know about the rotation and would just play retake with everyone instead of anchoring against a kay o ult with no smokes.
