After watching both SEN matches, it has become clear that SEN's win in Madrid was not only a fluke, but also a meaningless mickeymouse chip.
Watching all games from the 4 major reigons, it is clear that this level of gameplay from SEN would place them towards the bottom of most reigons (Yes, even assific). This is the result of SEN being anti stratted from all the games they played in Madrid. This is one of the main reasons notable teams (NAVI, FNC, NRG) didn't try to make madrid as not only would they be giving out free strats and vods, but also gain absolutely nothing unless they win.
Now that SEN are losing a map against LEV (a team that lost to C9 BTW) and their strats emptied, they will fade into obscurity for the rest of the year. They will most likley still make champs but won't make it far.
SEN now have two options to still compete for the rest of the year
- Not try for the splits and instead prepare for champs
This way they can build up their strats and try to make a run in champs, an event they will most likley qualify for- Improve their roster
Get rid of zellshit and sssacy and replace them with anyone semi-competent (bonus points if it is someone from EMEA). The other 3 players are alright for
Americas standards
- Improve their roster
tldr: even if SEN win they will become mid unless they make changes
