what is sen gonna do next

So obviously the big problem with sen is their team comp and lack of flexibility....
Overall in champs, they were a few rounds away from beating liquid, but they choke against underdogs that dug into their weakness.
For the players, tenz is still a top player on jett meta maps but he cant play split at all, even with jett, shaz's igl isn't adaptive enough, dapr and zombs were in a slump for most of the tournament, and sick's flexibility isnt as good as we expected

Therefore they have two scenarios:
keep tenz: They can get a new coach, maybe trial supamen or some other controller that can anchor sites. IMO coach change(Mike or maybe even shinobi) is much safer than dropping shaz straight up, even if hes not too motivated.
drop tenz: This is highly unlikely as long as he wants to stay, but what if tension is building up in this team bc hes quiet and the rest of the team is pretty outgoing and arrogant... Anyways, they can either reinstate cilantro(not likely but sen did keep him under their banner for this whole time). or poach bcj or eeiu.

TLDR: sen's being read like a book by underdog teams and everyones underperforming/has weaknesses. They can either keep tenz and switch coach and maybe controller, or tenz leaves and they grab a good sova

edit: Just thought abt a crazy radical fix: -shazam -zombs +gmd +whatever sova(sinatraa or others)

they just cant let him anchor sites anymore with his shitty aim, hes def the first player to go, but coach change is a bigger priority

i heard he wanted to keep playing instead of coaching
he never fixed their issue of not adapting, sen's set plays were fine for the most part
even from the eye test their strats and reads weren't better than before

He's a coach, he can't fix everything. If you watched, they literally did everything perfect apart from aiming. There were so many crucial moments where Zombs needed to at least hit a shot yet he failed

Make a roster change
Win every event in NA
Still lose in international events because NA is actually bad

Yea cus dropping a controller and replacing them with a duelist/initiator makes sense

pr issues aside that means shaz will have to play smokes.....
Pro team controller isnt just "omen smoke heaven and elbow" and i dont think shaz can adapt too well

not unlikely since shaz is already 28 (hes older than shroud btw), gmd oderus or maybe even stanislaw/stewie2k?

its embarrassing and shows how retarded people are by thinking shahzam is the issue. go check all the games Sen has played in Champions and tell me who MVPs every single game. it is very obvious he is one of the best players in valorant rn

both scenarios i mentioned in the post doesnt involve removing shaz, the only way i see shaz gets dropped is if he retires or they -zombs +igl AND keeps tenz

Shaz said in an interview with platchat that he's going to be weighing his options for next year, but he doesn't think that the team needs a roster change. IDK what they should do but I feel like they just need to change something

I think zombs is a smart player, and his macro on astra is really good. But his aim isn't top tier, they need a better anchor.

They just need to do new strats and flexible comps. They're a really stacked team with strong individual players.

Sometimes there's few credit to teams that actually DO THE HOMEWORK and figure out how the rival teams work. This is something always pointed like the team that lost has all the fault, and few merit to those who win.

i kept saying this ill say it again, they focus too much on streaming and stuff, no roster changes are going help them, they only need to simply practice more and like the person above me says, DO UR FUCKING HOMEWORK, and get a coach who actually is smart, not known for braindead smeag style
