      ​apparently a tier 2/vct br team was using this comp, sacy tought it was really strong, and they (sacy and saad) improved the gameplan around this comp, they were the first team to use this comp in a match, so they were the ones to defined the meta.@@akbarfadhlillah3126

    A super underrated point that u didnt mention is Loud back in 2022 made the default comp the best comp. when everyone else were trying comps and trying out strats with chamber they kept the same default comp and were unreal. now 2 years later they know exactly what made the default comp good because they were the ones who popularized it.

    • @platoonval

    I feel like those contact plays really cost sentinels many round, also on split where the skye nerf took away much of the recon capabilities of skye especially as the solo initiator

  • @Io-ik4yv
    @Io-ik4yv 3 місяці тому +2

    its still a risky strategy if you ask me compare to the default one. the entire comp takes 3-2 people just to stall and control one site with their utilities and a sentinel agent can do that with 1/2 of the stall time and requires only one player and few resources,with the bet that the enemy doesnt know how to counter it ( in this case knowing sentinels are bad at controlling mid 4:48). best way to balance it, is just to have one sentinel replacing one initiator (in this case the kayo one) and you still got the immense flashes with omen,phoenix and breach, plus the info gathering one which replaces the kayo knife and plus the enhance ability to defend one site(replacing kayo molly).

    • @cassiopiao1910
      @cassiopiao1910 3 місяці тому

      I don't think I agree with you...kayo knife is a hard counter against solo sentinels holding site, that is an important aspect of this comp. Also, I don't think that this is too many flashes if you think about how Loud played these 2 ascents with this comp so far. They do not just passively hold sites (which would make sense with a sentinel), but they can actually delay the opponent by harassing them in different parts of the map, and then if eventually the opponent can take hold of a site the comp is also really heavy on retakes (which would be worse with a sentinel)...I think this comp is actually perfect for this playstyle

    • @nhfullll
      @nhfullll 3 місяці тому

      Kayo is believe it or not the strongest initiator they have. It can stop any rush faster than any sentinel can.. this strategy won’t work in ranked but in pro play they all know what to do
