On paper the players they have should be able to compete with teams like FNC but they are losing to teams they should be easily beating. Is it lack of a proper igl or maybe not community and working together?
TenZ is not the duelist that can carry anymore and people need to realize that. He is not bad, but def needs some time on T2 bc doesn't seem to have improved for the whole season (just look at his games and stats, fr). I don't hate the dude, he seems nice, but at this point he is basically a shroud.
That being said, pancada should be a controller player and Sacy initiator. Marved isn't really doing all that well as much as the initial games.
Keep zekken for sure though, dude is 100% ready.
I think TenZ is really good at yoru and some games kayo but yeah his jett just isn’t the same level it used to be and can’t match up to people like Aspas, Derke etc. Since Marved is igl now I think it would be better for him to play sentinel instead of pancada so he can focus more on calling, minimap kinda stuff and also Pancadas sentinel isn’t that good.
1) language barrier
2) lack of team chemistry
3) no real extremely experienced sentinel player
4) dropped the momentum really easily
5) bad game plans
6) lack of fundamentals in a team which is what c9 does best and send don't play off each other as much but it seems to be a lot better now
I think the main problem is from the cultural and language differences and rôle issues as well pancada not on his comfort role or in the role he performed best
