Sentinels REAL Expectations

even tho zellsis went crazy, id still like to see the same 5 Tenz, Zekken, Sacy, John And Pancada. I think if results arent shown by the end of split 1 then zellsis maybe should come into discussion. Tenz Sacy and Pancada All Jobs on the Line

Event Wise, Hopefully Top 5 every event or Atleast minimum qualify for Madrid and Champs

Top 3 Seed in americas, feel like americas isnt as strong as it was team wise just the Talent is more spread out this time around . Loud, Sen, Lev, Kru, EG ( If staying together ) All Top Teams

This team actually has insane talent and tenz is improving every game on each agent and aim looks better then its ever been, Zekken Still is Zekken, This Team has an actual IGL that can call and shoot back and without FNS JohnQTs is a Top 3 IGL In americas Probably only behind sadhakk TBH, Sacys Skye is like a C+ which is ehh..... but his Sova and Fade are Still at a Top tier Level so over time he will get better hopefully..... and Pacada looked back in Form in the match today

even if the team dosent do good this year I dont see sen having ANY budget issues once team skins and stickers come out because they will probably be the most earned team when it comes to this out of all the teams.

Actual best take

Why SEN might keep a 6 man roster (using the SEN invitational as context):

TenZ on the flex role (with the occasional Yoru for bind), Zekken being the main duelist, Zellsis being the ZADDY that he is and picking up agents that we are lacking in, johnqt saving SEN's asses in crucial rounds, Sacy being our best recon player and pANcada not missing his shots, is what SEN needs. The only thing that can probably stop SEN fans from crying is if Sacy gets off Skye, improving their midrounding (still the same old, slow midrounds with no proper push for plant) and understanding their map picks (Sunset and Bind are their best maps in this tournament). If Sacy just stays on Sova/Fade and Zellsis takes Skye for maps where anyone from the main roster isn't performing well in, then I think SEN might surprise everyone next season.

last year and this year too, not qualifying with these rosters should be punishable by relegation

5 Tenz? Wouldn't that make it 9 players?

edit: read that wrong

I don’t know how you could work around it, but zekkens Skye is actually nice. If they could figure out how to implement that on maps that are Skye specific, that could be insane

plus they retained the coaching staff and 4 members of the roster, most other teams changed at least 2 players. if they don't place high in events, it's over for this roster imo

allat

EG will only be scary if they keep the same 5. we dont know what theyre upto yet. if nrg buys someone from EG they wont be the stronghold like last year

This is the most delusional take I have ever read. There are alot of holes in this.
