Why would they start to shift their ideas when before that SEN match, they hadn't lost a series? Obviously they have more reason to now. Also, I'm not really sure why we push this narrative that because LOUD lost to Sentinels ONCE, they're just totally not capable of winning? There are so many external and internal factors that favour LOUD; whether that be having more international LAN experience in recent memory or maybe even a deeper map pool. And... again, out of all the teams in Americas, I'd argue that they need those points the least
They are good at Sunset and Split. Two of those maps happened to be in the bo5. They aren't good at Breeze, Icebox and Bind, they are banning Ascent, and their Lotus is a big question mark right now. LOUD are decent at basically every map, and the ones that they aren't good at, are due to experimentations within their agent comps
Also, I made far more points in that paragraph than just map pool. lmfao
