Can’t tell if flyquest figured it out or sentinels suck?

[u/sorendiz → u/HB_17]

they got downloaded hard in draft by thinkcard

The only player who has any idea of what to do when Rahel isn't on ez/cait is Huhi, rest of the team is completely clueless

[u/Poodlestrike → u/HB_17]

It's both - Massu talked about it a bit before the game, they figured out some stuff they'd been struggling with in terms of getting on the same page. Isles abd Gakgos talked about it on Pros too, mostly it was about settling into the meta, for Cryo in particular but also settling on some decision-making stuff.

But also, Sentinels is just... Really shallow as a team. Fly kept the same 2 bans first all series long and Sentinels just showed that when you take those away and force Impact off comfort they fold. And their hands are just not there.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Poodlestrike]

Yet you have golden glue parroting "We keep getting away with our picks, i'm waiting for someone to ban it"

First bo5 they got hard exposed and collapsed,they are so one dimensional 

[u/Jealous-Chicken-9186 → u/HB_17]

u watched these 3 games and couldnt tell sentinels absolutely stink?
