Summary

Building the roster

  • Dephh was the first player signed on the roster
  • Zekken was the second player secured
  • Other 3 spots were open ended
  • The 2 Brazilians and Tenz were locked in as the last 3 pieces
  • Teams already started practicing in Nov/Dec and trialing players
  • Sen started in early jan due to visa issues. 2 months behind
  • Sen took a risk without trialing b/c of aggressive rostermania
  • Tarik/Ludwig event was good lan practice, tried to not show comps though(ran troll ambitious comps)
  • Rob Moore advocated for sen to join the event to find their identity as a team

Kaplan addresses sen's biggest issue-

  • They did not have a core roster coming in like other teams in the league
  • need to play a ridiculous amount of games to catch up to other teams with a previous core from last year
  • expectations are high, lots of bandaid fixes in the meantime due to short and aggressive season
  • lots of role problems. dephh as igl needed to be with the team to make calls
  • igl needs to micromanage due to team never playing together previously
  • pancada switching to senti was comfortable to due to controller role being played similarly
  • role switches were a necessary evil
  • anticipated chamber going out of meta, tenz would not play duelist
  • tenz was asked to play kayo in rank in offseason
  • did not predict 2 controller 1 senti meta

Signing 6th man

  • before roster lock, sen needed a sub
  • marved was a great option. super qualified. no brainer to sign ice man
  • marved is perfect for double controller meta
  • no choice but for marved to stay on roster due to dephh stepping down himself and roster lock
  • who will igl now that dephh has stepped down/retired?
  • marved volunteered himself to try igling

Tokyo Playoffs + LCQ

  • playoffs was not realistic after dephh stepped down
  • playoffs was not the focus, focus was to win LCQ for long term plan
  • now sen has new roster, everyone on their comfort roles, new igl, and totally different team chemistry
  • new starting roster had much more positive energy
  • new team enjoy playing the game together
  • preparing now for long term future of lcq and champs
  • tenz says new team is a breath of fresh air coming in. energy was a step up from before
  • team is gelling more now. pancada is more vocal now compared to before.
  • pancada is more comfortable with the team. now not conveying frustrations through sacy but directly to team members.
  • team is bonding more, getting along
  • tenz "map pool, agent comps are coming together"
  • sen now preparing for 2 months while other teams take breaks
