bang and narrate r good, losing sacy was inevitable, but tenz was a top 10 player last year, really sucks going from top 10 to bang i fear.. not that its bangs fault, theres just nothing sen can do to offset the loss of fragging power there. and tbh, bang and narrate are not as high iq as tenz and sacy, for as much shit as tenz gets he was one of the smartest players who had the ability to solo win a few rounds a map.

not that they are bad rn, but the goal of every team is to win a international lan, so yeah they're alright but should def try to be better

reduxx is the savior tho

Bud, it's been one tournament; Tenz and Sacy had immense experience on the international stage. Bang and Narrate are young and barely have experience on the international stage. Give them time to develop.

bang has been on one of the best NA teams since 2022(he's in his fourth season of tier 1), and narrate spent the entirety of 2023 on a competitive team

these are not the rookies you think they are, and even if they were, they are just not sacy or tenz, they are fundamentally different and this roster is inherently worse because no matter how you spin it, the roster has lost a lot of ways to win rounds

I'm not calling them bad, but you don't have to fluff them up like they are gonna get better magically

wasn’t bang on tsm and then 100t ? filling tenz’s shoes is hard but you either got it in you or you don’t to win a trophy

its not really bangs fault, but when you had tenz its much easier to justify having zellsis on a team

for real. tenz was a beast but people refuse to acknowledge that. he was a top 10 player itw.

sen is just missing that it factor. if zekken is not feeling it, then at least you have tenz to make up for it.

reduxx will be the it factor dw

sentinels just need to lose enough to make rob moore schizo enough to put him into the starting 5 once hes 18

it’s crazy how sen is being talked about this much after the match, they aren’t favorites to win bangkok like they were in madrid

drx are the best team in pacific, they are a better team that has much better aimers, sen were the underdogs coming into this match no matter what anyone says

even so, they did good by making this event anyway. sure some changes can be made but everyone is acting like they’re mid because they lost to an obviously better team

the goal is to win a trophy not qualify to events, they're moving backwards if they're eliminated in a swiss stage when they were a top team at champs, not too long ago

id get it if sen was a small org with no budget, and stuff but like they invest lots into the game too, i can look at C9 and say qualifying to an event for them is huge because they dont invest much in valorant, but big orgs need to win big

they didn’t have a pretty start at champs either, played like bums against geng first time then had the best game ever as a team in the rematch. its a lil different now cause they only have 2-3 days to prep but i think they can turn it around

im not saying to give them slack but you gotta understand who they lost, tenz and sacy retiring was a tremendous lost for the team, i really think bang and narrate were one of the best pickups they couldve done, reduxx is still under 18, sure they may not win bangkok like they did madrid, but I do think they still have a good chance to make it past the swiss stage, we'll just have to wait and see though.

DRX ARE REALLY GOOD THO GIVE THEM CREDIT INSTEAD

Bang and N4RRATE are not better players compared to Sacy and TenZ as of now. They’ve openly stated that they are not here to fill those shoes. SEN has a different approach this year—building a new generation for the team. They chose Bang and N4RRATE because the coaching staff saw potential in them. Think about having N4RRATE, Bang, and Zekken as the core of SEN in the coming years.

It’s clear from the matches that there’s a noticeable difference between SEN '24 and '25—particularly in decision-making across different situations. That is the lackluster part of the 2025 SEN roster.

Additionally, SEN has never been in the conversation for a top-four finish or winning the Bangkok tournament. However, they have a high ceiling as they continue to develop together. Reduxx will not be their savior. That kid is mechanically gifted, but in Tier 1, that’s not enough. You need a better understanding of the game, strong decision-making, confidence, mental resilience, maturity, and most importantly—experience. He is not the solution SEN needs right now, and that’s the truth.

damn what a bait how does tenz have "more iq" when all he did was frag u could propably count on one hand the amount of times he made a smart play, meanwhile bang is a clutch god and keeping multiple teams in multiple rounds,palyoffs,tournaments by completely popping off/outsmarting enemies.
-Sacy was a very good move, only real problem for sen is zekken who is SUUUUPER inconsistent time and time again, he has 1 pop off map every 2 mid +2 bad games

im not even trying to say bang is the issue, he really isnt lol

but tenz has much better mechanics and calls more, when you have to worry about tenz its much harder to shut down zekken

but tenz barely called actually pretty sure he was a test igl for a bit and they didnt make it out of what would be back then acension, like i said honestly you can count on one hand where in a high stake match tenz does something extremly smart that's not called by his igl im sorry but that's the truth, tenz is a great shooter good entry but he left and zekken is supposed to fill his shoes but he has 1 good map every 5 maps he only pops off vs the worst teams, when it matters he completly chokes i think - zekken + a real duelist entry and its fixed, rn sentinels literally have to play around him to even give him chances to frag, u rarely see him creating his own chances(only jett)
