Good question. The reason sen fell off was because of tenz..but hear me out.
Not because he's a bad player but he just doesn't fit the need of the team. Ever since he came there have been synergy and role issues. Sick and shaz had to leave their duelist roles and move to supports and the lack of cohesion eventually started showing in their results.
Everything worked well initially because the scene hadn't developed much in the beginning but now the competition's tough. Now they needed some scapegoat to reason with the lacking results so they pinned it on zombs and he got kicked when in reality it wasn't because of him that they were losing.
Players in this team are playing roles that they arent supposed to play and it just shows. I think everyone in sen is good but not good enough to work out together, they would probably find more success splitting and playing for different teams Sick and shaz had to leave their duelist roles and move to supports and the lack of cohesion eventually started showing in their results.

I feel like cohesion is one of those MASSIVE problems with the team at the moment, but in a "summary" manner i disagree, they Didn't fall off. the way they started to get to where they are now. obviously they have had MASSIVE success on the big stage with Iceland and did very well in M3 but where did it all go wrong. Let's look at where they went wrong;
#1
Wins Iceland! YES we all know that the beloved sentiluls were the most dominant international team ever! people always forget just how dominant they were! without losing a single map they went through the rest of the world in the nordic island.
#2 Masters Three
Uh Oh, MASTERS THREE! the first time we said out-loud "are we not living in a sentinels dynasty?" the team placed second in the groups after a loss against G2 Esports. despite the loss they still made it to the single elimination playoffs stage where they were dispatched of quickly by regional rivals EnvyUs now OpTic.
#3 Champions
need I explain?
now we're here, the team clearly didn't "fall off" they fell behind, forgeting the meta and playing what they were comfortable with. i truly believe that sentinels can achieve regional success again, if not soon. i love the team and the players. TenZ is the embodiment of aimbot, SiCk is a disgustingly underrated flex player, Dapr is insanely good at whatever he does lol and Shazham is a really good streamer. the team is great and the org is eh.
