Key Takeaways:

Sentinels played too many bad rounds throughout the match
Round 1: Sentinels’ attacking pistol round on Haven showcased a flawed execution strategy
Round 15: Sentinels’ bonus round on Haven highlighted a poor round calling
Round 18: 100 Thieves’ comp and Sentinels’ lack of pressure led to a disadvantageous situation

Attack Side on Haven – Round 1

In the beginning of the video, we observe Sentinels’ attacking strategy during the pistol round on Haven. However, they encountered issues as their attempt at taking A site didn’t yield the desired results. Sadly, they weren’t able to fully benefit from their plan due to a lack of synchronization and missed chances. Consequently, this put Sentinels at a disadvantageous position.

Attack Side on Haven – Round 15

In the fifteenth round, Sentinels found themselves behind with a score of 9-5 and facing the necessity of securing a victory to keep their chances alive in the game. Regrettably, their strategic planning during this round was less than ideal, leading to subpar execution. A video analysis reveals the shortcomings in Sentinels’ approach.

100 Thieves’ Comp – Round 18

The video explores how 100 Thieves’ team composition presented hurdles for Sentinels, highlighting the significance of recognizing your adversary’s lineup and adjusting your strategy. Unfortunately for Sentinels, they struggled to apply pressure and manage crucial zones, giving 100 Thieves an edge in the match.

Defense Side on Ascent – Pistol Round

In the next part of the analysis, we shift our focus to how Sentinels defend on the map Ascent, beginning with the initial pistol round. The assessment reveals some issues in their defensive strategy and tactics. One such issue is a debatable wall placement that could have been more effective if placed differently. Additionally, there were missed chances for Sentinels to maximize their advantages during certain situations.

Defense Side on Ascent – Tile Shark Attack

In the video, we delve deeper into a particular round where Sentinels tried to execute a tile shark strategy. But their plan was disrupted when 100 Thieves used a knockout ability, leaving Sentinels’ Jet squad member vulnerable and ultimately leading to his demise. The discussion raises concerns about the dangers of aggressive tactics and highlights the importance of better judgement in future gameplay.

As a dedicated fan of Sentinels, I can’t help but feel a pang of worry as we approach the Champs tournament. While there’s still hope that they might make it, there are valid concerns about their recent performance and team dynamics. It’s clear that some adjustments need to be made if they want to bounce back stronger. Perhaps they should reevaluate their strategies and compositions, working together to find new ways to shine on the Riot stage. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and cheer them on as they navigate this challenging time!
