Change one was Marved for TenZ, then TenZ for dephh, but these moves happened like weeks apart. How is a team supposed to build chemistry if a roster is changing during the season?
Also, the Shahzam analogy makes perfect sense since your reasoning in the original post was because of his chemistry with Sacy and pancada, not his results with Loud. Also, Shahzam cannot be blamed entirely for SEN being bad in 2022, and tbh when they actually got a chance to bootcamp they didn't do that bad.
You're reasoning makes literally no sense because teams can't all start with previous cores, but they can still succeed. Like C9 only had leaf and xeppaa from the old C9, and yet they did pretty well. Conversely, 100T only changed will for Cryo and did really bad. If a team makes a change even if it's just one, the team will need time to build chemistry no matter what.
The change that makes the most sense is johnqt and it's not close. If pancada is going to switch back to smokes, which he's more comfortable with, SEN needs a sentinel IGL, which johnqt is. Plus, if you wanna talk about chemistry, Kaplan used to coach johnqt on Ghost gaming.
So as i said it was basically only 1 change for dephh, which is marved for tenz.. dephh's removal wouldnt have any affect on dephh's igl since he was gone... sykko was never a tactical coach it was always kaplan so it doesnt make any difference again
shazam got 2022 with same core because of 2021 performance but obviously things changed after that because of franchising and optic, xset and all the players being f/a.. sen went on to choose 3 from xset core, 2 from loud and kept their poster kid. obviously these kind of fragmented cores with colliding roles did not work as there is no chemistry.. you cannot just plug in the best from previous years performance into individual roles and expect some magic. unless one feels that the team cannot win or function as a 5.. there is no need to make any changes.. it is better to give them chance to improve and work rather than keeping a guillotine over their heads and say win or leave.. case in point : how did kru turn around 0-9 and win lcq with no changes?
100t case : they started their season pretty well, won red bull against a supposed superteam of c9 and lost to fnatic in lock//in.. their americas season was in fact better than sentinels even if they lost head to head considering if they didnt lose against mibr.. it wouldve been 100t in playoffs rather than eg. so up until this point 100t was better than eg.. which isnt bad. c9 kept vanity, leaf and xeppa to protect their core in which they believed.. most people were shocked after they performed even after runi and jakee inclusion because somehow the chemistry worked.. infact this proves my point - team chemistry is more important than buying the best player in a certain role.. runi or jakee by no means are the best available igl or smokes but since they strengthened the chemistry it was good.. now u cannot guarantee this so the best way to build it is to keep ur core players or if u have new ones give them time to improve.
pancada has mentioned he is comfortable on kj and viper.. so u dont have to assume on his behalf.. coaches dont add to team chemistry on the server.. kaplan and johnqt working together wont bring any chemistry to the server.. LOUD, The Guard changing coaches never mattered.
