SEN need to take a breather and think.

Ever since TenZ joined SEN, I've been a fan. But lately, it feels that SEN does not have anything extraordinary or special to show. FNC vs SEN was majorly a game of aim duels; FNC has better aimers in general. Yes, ZEKKEN, BANG, and NARRATE pop off at times, but KAJAK and ALFA are consistently insane when it comes to aim duels. SEN did not have depth in gameplay. The gameplay was boring, expected, and not fun to watch. Yes, some moments feel like SEN are insane, but it's mostly one person popping off (like NARRATE on round 21 of Sunset, or ZEKKEN on round 7 of Ascent, or BANG on round 9 of Ascent, or JHONQT on Icebox round 5). This is not how a consistently good team plays. Take G2, for example, yes, they also have moments of individual brilliance, but for the most part, their gameplay is team-oriented, stat-heavy, and cohesive. And it is because they do not rely on one person taking over, they are able to make comebacks happen. If one person is unable to out-aim, the others cover up. This is not the case for SEN. Every top team is cohesive right now. G2, PRX, FNC, and WOLVES are all team-oriented and stat-heavy.
Solution? I think SEN needs a change. Not a team change but a play-style change.

  1. ZEKKEN needs to op more.
  2. SEN needs to move on from 5-man site defense to lurker-heavy strategies.
  3. SEN needs a secondary duelist (probably NARRATE) or someone who can entry with ZEKKEN on maps like SPLIT and ASCENT.
  4. SEN needs a mental coach. ASTRALIS did this in CS GO, and it worked wonders for them. A mental coach will help players like ZEKKEN and NARRATE to stay cool in the game even if shit goes bad.
  5. SEN needs new strategies and plays, and they really need to stop using other teams' comps and trying to copy their play style. ZEKKEN is aim heavy, WAYLAY is not his agent. He cannot be asked to kill while coordinating site hits.
  6. SEN needs an external perspective on what needs to change. PRX did with MINI, and it has worked. SEN needs to find what their playstyle is and what makes them feel invincible and it cannot be individual plays.

These are my two cents on what SEN needs to do before Champions if they want to maybe have a chance of winning Champs.

Imagine if he put this much effort into his school assignments. Brain surgeon in the making

SEN does not have a lurker. EVER. Hence, teams do not even bother checking for it, focusing every bit of utility to take site in a post-plant situation.
