    as a sen fan i agree with the g2 pick, g2 has always had our number, and i feel like jawg brings a whole new depth to that team

      this is just 22 The Guard on steroids bro, Leaf for Net, Jawgemo for Saya and that Trent, Valyn, JonahP core.
      If Trent and JonahP plays consistently and is on the same page, this team has no fken weaknesses.

      @@DolooDoloo-df5eb i’m just not sure how i feel about the role swaps, i didn’t love the way we played in the offseason events, but i believe we can win bangkok. my only thought process is that g2 can pick apart our gaps if we don’t tighten up

      ​​​​@@galaxander674While it makes sense on paper that a Senti player shouldn't be the one calling anymore due to positioning and higher tempo strats being more prevalent, both Narrate and JohnQT look really uncomfortable on said role swaps.
      Do i see a world in which they all click and go on a deep tourney run? Yes
      Do i think giving Narrate more freedom to play his Jett, Gekko, Fade pool and letting Zekken play his Xset Sova, Kayo role would be a nice experiment for Kickoff and Split 1? Yes
      Do i commend JohnQT for trying to evolve into a whole initiator/Senti player so the team can play their comforts at all times? Yes
      Do i see Sentinels having a better year than 2024 with these question marks? No

    i respect your opinion as i usually agree but i feel like NRG isn't getting enough credit based off their offseason events. i get that theyre just off season tourneys but clearly the teams participated were trying and they obliterated Sen in the grandfinals, and then obliterated GenG on 2 of 3 maps in that grandfinals. and FNS said they had minimal prep time for those events and a lot of the games were just feeling each other out and winging it. I think they look very strong, and the longer theyre a team, the more prep and practice they get, I think theyre going to be in the discussion for one of the top teams in the world this year

    • @VeigaRosa
      @VeigaRosa 12 днів тому

      GenG lost a lot of players from last year tho, they aren't the same level anymore so i don't think we should think that is the same level of achievement as beating a team like G2 that kept the same roster of last year and got a upgrade.
      Im still gonna root for FNS but i don't think they will have a good run like people think they will, hopefully they prove me wrong tho

  • @draganmicic2295
    @draganmicic2295 14 днів тому +1

    I agree more or less with everything except for G2, i think they wont be as good as you think, and as good as they were last year. First reason for that is new duelist. On paper its huge upgrade but Jawgemo's playstyle is so much different than Icy's. Icy is a role player, you tell him to do that and play like that and he will, hes more like passive player, sacraficial lamb id say in order to set your team for advantage. Thats why his stats werent the best last year and yet G2 had a lot of success. Jawgemo on the other hand is a bit more aggressive, he has more ego when playing. Im not so sure his personality and gameplay would fit slow pace of G2. Im honestly looking forward to see how its gonna go. This year is really good, there seem not to be almost any weak team thats gonna be mainly for farming, more or less every team this year can show resistance and put up some good fight.

    the reason neT was cut from the TGRD core G2 is because bringing in leaf he was a heavy commer and neT was alr a co-igl w/ Vayln also IGLing so the team had too many comms not because neT was underpreforming

    Mibr is way different than leviatan last year. I wouldn’t put them so high. This time around is literally just aspas and friends

    • @VeigaRosa
      @VeigaRosa 12 днів тому

      Last year it was Aspas and friends too tho. They got better by the end of the Year basically, and C0m had a terrible year and only got better at champions where he was ok.
      I think Mibr has the same potencial, think NZR is way better IGL than Kingg, and Artzin played way better by the end of last year, the other 2 players have potencial (especially Cortezia) i think that they could become better than Leviathan with Frod as their coach the entire year.

    I find it so interesting that America's can just never keep a consistent roster. It's one of the few regions that is constantly making changes mid-season and they just never resign the same roster at the start of a new year. With that said with G2 making minimal changes it's very much like an EU team, appropriate because it is a European org. Not only did they only change out one player, they also have a slow defensive playstyle similar to EU teams, specifically old FPX comes to mind.
    With that said I hope that NRG and G2 are the two America's representatives because NRG has been on a run and G2 is that sleeping giant that we know is capable of a trophy but just hasn't awoken yet. It's time

      2022 optic, 2023 eg, 2022 loud, and 2024 sen were all dominant teams that were forced to disband/split. It wouldn't be fair to other regions if all of those rosters stayed together

    I really feel like NRG will be the number one americas team at the start this year, and I can see SEN getting knocked out early. I'm a SEN fan, but something about this roster just feels off. I expect NRG, G2, and some other 3rd surpise team to be the top 3 at this event.
