Recency Bias

How much you guys wanna bet that if SEN beat FPX convincingly, the narrative will change from "SEN is the worst team in champs" to " SEN will beat GENG in the rematch just like madrid, GENG are frauds they lost to TH".

I obviously don't think SEN is in a good form right now, but that's all that it is. FORM. The form of a team can change so quickly from bad to good and vice versa depending on so many aspects-> Stakes, Roles, Map Pool, etc. A fucking eco round can change the trajectory of both teams for the rest of the event. This group of SEN players have proved since the start of the year that they have what it takes, so there's no questions about players/ roles. All they need is a good footing to build up form.

TL;DR : Don't fall into the trap of recency bias, GENG had an off day where a monster like t3xture was struggling which probably won't happen again, they're still top 3 in the event. Also props to TH, they played top notch val was a pleasure to watch.
AND FINALLY, SEN aren't as bad as people say, they're definitely not good rn and if they haven't sorted their problems for the FPX match they're gonna fly back early. BUT if they did fix the issues, It could be a great start for them to come back to top form( Probably won't be enough to beat GENG tho ).

it’s not about beating the enemy team convincingly, it’s about getting a win no matter what after going 0-6 as of 3 weeks ago. getting a win would be a huge confident boost

They proved they had what it takes against who?

Loud with QCK?
Karmine Crap?
Both Chinese teams at their lowest?
TH with 0 experience? (Barely beat them)
PRX? (Frauds)
GenG who were nothing compared to who they are currently?

Madrid was a fraudulent tournament and half the teams there are too.

Even if SEN got back to the form they were in then they would still get slammed by the teams at champs. People overrate SEN's form at Madrid, they looked good, but not great enough to beat current GenG, Heretics, etc...

Closing, SEN are mid at best and will not be making top 8 because daddy LEV cannot gift them quals.

  1. LOUD were the second team to start pracc after SEN in the offseason, so they were plenty prepared even if their team on paper was mid. Beat LEV, SEN, close game with both GENG and SEN x2
  2. KC was unstoppable early on in the season, pretty much everyone had them as favorites with SEN.
  3. SEN's first match against a CN team will be FPX, I do get ur point tho, ur trying to say most of the teams were ass
  4. TH have been more than a solid team the entire season, they may all be young but I wouldn't call playing in ur home town and early on in the swiss stage a disadvantage like "lack of exp" lol
  5. might be unpopular but PRX madrid would rock current PRX's shit imo
  6. GENG haven't lost a single match in an International Tournament to any team other than SEN up until yesterday. They were fucking good don't cope.

There is no International Tournament where teams had to qualify through an entire OTHER tournament (and only top 2 btw) I would call a "fraudulent tournament" , most people that say that are just pushing their own agenda against teams they hate lol.
I agree that madrid form wouldn't be enough , ur right on that.
SEN are mid at best currently ? very true. Also, yes LEV qualified us but it's because we had 12 CH Points, and SEN didn't get those from LEV.

To be fair, LOUD with qck was goated. Also KC almost beat Sentinels

I kinda agree with you, SEN and GENG were the only good teams at Madrid. Lets hope riot doesnt host another 8 team Masters cuz that shit sucks ass.
