So I've been a fan of SEN since early 2021. I also immediately liked DRX early 21 (when they were Vision Strikers) and thought they were quite underrated compared to the rest of the world.
Being a fan of these 2 teams I've noticed that these 2 teams are virtually opposites of each other. Both of these teams can not perform well at the same time.
In 2021, Sen and VS were the biggest names in their regions with almost total domination. However, when it came to masters Reykjavik '21 where sentinels were unstoppable, VS choked and didn't qualify for the first international LAN - while sen dominated and won.
Since Masters Reykjavik 2021 till about early 2024, Sen have been absolutely terrible while VS/DRX showed their worth over these 2.5 years. While they have choked multiple times and lost to the underdogs - they've established themselves as a consistent 4th-5th place team in the world, which is still quite impressive.
Coming to this year - Sen shocked everyone with their return to dominance in the year while DRX's new roster disappointed many with their poor performance in the first half of the season - not qualifying to a single international event.
Now, even more recently as sen was performing well in groups, drx was a bit shaky losing to zeta and rrq. Then after that when sen started losing to g2 and later 100t, drx out of nowhere surprises everyone defeating prx in lower finals and currently performing better than expected against gen g.
Just doesn't seem like both these teams can perform at the same time
