Americas is not weak... SEN just sucks

I think SEN got somehow worse, they made a lot more mistakes as the year progress probably because they were trying too hard to fix their problems but ended creating more issues.
MIBR imo has looked the most impressive, I think they have actual potential to win champs. Im hoping NRG goes at least top 2 but man I still don't really like G2 that much so they can go out idc.

The motivational speeches don't work on n4rrate and bang, they crumble more after

So many issues the whole year, Johnqt on a role crisis to him switching back (cant say for sure if hes playing more comfortable, but he has done 0 lurks prio to last year where is his fav strat was on 2nd round buy he would have a ghost and solo lurk to scout where they are stacked but now he doesn't do that at all) Also his calling has been really basic and standard calling like no fakes or reclears. I remember on Icebox SEN would like re clearing mid before retaking but now they don't do that at all. A lot less mid rounding from SEN this year, maybe TenZ/Sacy helped with this?

Bang lacks the utility usage because he's trying too hard to use utility to fight rather than taking 50/50 gunfights that could win rounds, and not playing Omen off angles. Also I feel like his blinds aren't that great, Ive watched him miss a lot of blinds or waste on nothing. TenZ would jump spot to see if he needed to Omen blind which is something I really like from him while Bang just throws it if he's getting pressured.

N4rrate has the most improvement from the team, he's been playing well but at the cost of him being less disciplined. So if he's not shooting well then he gets tilted and shutdown. He was a big x factor that SEN lacked.

Zellsis I actually think he got better at shooting but I think he got worse from game sense, I feel like he's always getting timing. Also no lurks from this guy at all, he's always staying with the pack.

And Finally Zekken, imo he's played worse not because of him but because he just doesn't have that teammate like TenZ who would help in getting FB or multi frags if Zekken goes down in the round. He's still the most consistent player on SEN but they rely on him way too much to win games, he needs help.

Heres my ranking on their strength throughout the year Toronto>Stage 1>Kickoff>Stage 2>Champs>Bangkok

Their peak performance was at Toronto but it could of been a fluke run from lucky bracket but they still showed pretty decent valorant, while Bangkok was like watching T3 valorant vs a T1 team thats how bad they were at Bangkok.

My honest take is that the G2 loss in the upper final broke them. The gap between the teams was much larger than they expected and couldn't recover from it

Thats what I've said in my analytics, they are too afraid of getting mult killed but end getting mult killed anyways because they trade too slow.
