the loud loss was acceptable, they are just so ahead in terms of level of play
but the lev loss was due them choking with stale strats, and dephh shitting the bed with his kda and calling on pearl, they crushed loud on it in a later match because (at least, it looked like) kaplan helped dephh with the anti stratting and sentinels seemed to have a coherent gameplan. also marved but still.
tldr: dephh calling def lost them the LEV match, which was a more important win they needed
Sentinels look like they'll be good for LCQ. I'd probably say that the only things that beat them is either a dg+mw pop off (like, they beat Furia with dg performing, they'll need mw to go off to beat sen) or Demon1 and Jawg popping off. They have a good enough squad to establish that any team needs their star to be a star in order to win. Like, when pancada is the lowest fragger you got, that's a solid sqaud. Plus, look at all the advantages Sen is going to gain before LCQ. Everybody gets a chance to go home (Marved, Pancada, and Sacy had to move to a different country and Zekken is a youngin) and that month or so of extra prac lets Marved get way more comfortable at IGL. Plus, playoffs and Masters are going to realease a ton of new comps, meta's, and strats that Sen will definitely capitalize on. Finally, AM looks like the strongest overall region with it's top 3, I think any of NRG, LOUD, and C9 could possibly beat Fnatic. I mean, Fnatic is still the favorite, But I'm betting on those 3 teams and DRX over what we have seen form Navi. If an AM team wins, I believe AM gets a bonus slot in Champs which would exponentially boost Sen's probability of getting to champs.
