Sen fell off harder because Acend were inconsistent before champs, and had one event where all 5 players performed well. They just went back to their normal self afterwards.
Sen just struggled to do anything and didn't adapt to any meta changes.
Acend just had one good event, and that's it. Sen had a good event, and then progressively got worse, and worse. It's just now acend look like they're falling apart, where as Sen look like they're just holding on.
When I say Acend were inconsistent, I mean the players at the time. Zeek was hit or miss, bonecold was chilling at the bottom 2 of the scoreboard(given he was igl so he had other shit to focus on), starxo was similar to zeek, and kiles was mid.
Throughout their whole time as a team, it was cNed and friends. In champs, every player of the team turned up, and played insanely good. Then after that they went back to cNed being the only consistent player of the team. Bonecold left, zeek benched himself, kiles left. Although they're not the same acend they were, they still have the same issues. The only difference between old acend and new acend, is the Jett nerfs broke cNed. His performances look average compared to champs cNed.
Sen had a peak at iceland 2021, and just progressively got worse, and worse. Putting up worse performances, every match. Their lack of adapting to the meta shifts, is what lead them to fall behind other teams quick. It's what led teams like Optic to the top, as they were constantly moving along with the meta, and were by far the most consistent team in valorant right now.
that's why I say Sen had a bigger fall from grace than acend did. Acend just had one huge standout event, then went back to their normal self.
