LOUD are still world contenders.

They lost X factor and firepower from Aspas, but they still have top 3 IGL in world in Saadhak. He can frag, igl, clutch. what can he not do? Less is also still best sentinel world.
SEN did well but not good enough to contend top teams like LOUD/LEV.

Agree. SEN can battle against top teams, but won't actually win. I think SEN fits the narrative of being 4th placing in Americas (in the world stage if they ever make it, i'm thinking they place around 7/8th placing, which to me is still a good placing for a team who can show improvements).
