i agree they didnt get owned, but when u say they only had 1 month to prep - dont forget Guard was playing after a shoddy LAN performance and coming back from losing in mickey mouse tourney and even the 100t team was new aswell. So one can also say they played a bunch of average teams, none that could stand infront of teams like OPTIC, XSET,FPX,DRX etc..
Anyway, all that is in the past. Now there are literally 30 really really good players out without a job - SEN needs to consider the fact that Shahzam is 28 and has been given more chances to prove himself then any other org would allow. Is Shahz good? probably but there are too many people who are good and LFT - so being good isnt gonna cut it
