ZentinelKevin Pires

ANALYSIS
While it was originally reported Zentinel would be released last week, ongoing visa issues surrounding Inori forced Phoenix1 to once again employ Zentinel in Week 3. Unsurprisingly, Zentinel struggled against Team Liquid and Apex, putting together a 6/14/20 KDA line during the weekend. To his own admission, it's clear the lack of competitive experience affected Zentinel, who suggested "nerves started to get the best of me." Of the NA junglers who have recorded at least 10 games in the Summer Split, Zentinel has recorded just 16 kills, the second worst figure behind Echo Fox's Hard, and hasn't really factored into Phoenix1's offense, garnering a 69 percent kill participation percentage. Zentinel certainly has some promising skills, but he will need some seasoning in order to become a factor in the LCS in the future.
