Following the duelist balance changes implemented in VALORANT Patch 8.11, all eyes are on VCT to see how the revamped Iso, Neon, and Reyna will affect pro play. But while Sentinels’ Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro claims to live for the chaos, he’s not so sure many teams are willing to adapt.

“I don’t think there are many teams besides LOUD or [Evil Geniuses] who will heavily shake up the meta,” Zellsis told Dot Esports prior to the start of VCT Americas stage two. “Americas has always played the meta to a T, besides a couple teams here and there who will do funny picks or some agent swaps. But I don’t think we’ll see a lot of Iso/Neon/Reyna. Some teams may throw Neon in there just because they don’t have Jett players.
