Why do people care so much about this matchup? SEN are not going to try, they basically have their Champs spot locked up with those 6 Championship Points. The only thing they are playing for is "clout".
Why bother coming up with new Strats for Shanghai when they can focus on the big prize? Everybody else still needs to qualify and try, and they will use true strats that SEN can anti-strat. SEN don't need to care, Champs > Masters, and if it comes down to it, they will care more about winning Champs then winning Masters.
yes as of right now, as of when madrid ended they were not at a disadvantage lol they don't need to change their best maps we've seen teams try to antistrat their split and the only 1 that worked was GenG ONCE when "the mood was off" or something in SEN. (FNC used the same lotus strats for a whole year bro)
trying to argue losing to the best team in the world would be embarrassing is crazy
Because you can't foresee the future and you don't know how the meta will evolve. You don't know what type of teams might make it and how they might play. Any strat you might be cooking now could go down the drain in 4 months time. All this hiding strats talk is mostly baseless and people put too much stock on that stuff.
