you lost 2 of the staple players of your team and barely made champs. you really think without tenz bailing your ass and sacy leading your team, your about to jus run over NA teams and qualify?

I honestly think its 50/50

Narrate vs Sacy: If Narrate can be as good as a voice in the team like sacy was, I feel like they would be on par or narrate would be slightly better
Bang vs Tenz: Its weird because bang CAN be better than tenz, but bang is hella inconsistent sometimes

your are mental LOL, narrate is not a leader like sacy, sacy's initator setups and util is like day and night compared to n4rrates. you also dont have tenz anymore giving you almost really 4 rounds on him for free every map

If you think about it like TenZ + sacy vs narrate + bang then I see it as pretty even as long as bang stays consistent

in what way is narrate's initator on par with literally the best initator of all time? am i missing something here? narrate played an average fade with insane 4k's in kickoff and didnt qualify for a single int after madrid. is there a offseason tournament where hes banging in 50 kills as sova or something?

as a person whos watched every emea game, narrate isn't anything special and compared to sacy hes literally nothing in terms of initator, duelist hes alright but man you have downgraded massive

although I like bang but man, Tenz on this team would have been nuts. Like that big 3 is VERY scary if they are all playing well man. Bang is probs the most annoying player I remember Sen playing against tho, bro would win 100T rounds against Sen which would make me sooo mad. So I'm happy with this man.

might be a hot take but this is an upgrade
the thing that people don't talk about is how tenz was setup like a duelist in many of their setups when on omen but now they can put full effort into setting up zekken which will increase his impact even more
bang is just a really self sufficient controller and gives sen a 3rd viper and an insane omen anchor

how do you setup zekken with narrate as your initator.. 💀 if sacy(the guy who setup aspas to be the greatest duelist and carried LOUD in istanbul) wasn't good enough to setup zekken how tf is narrate going to set up zekken?

#36

never said that sacy wasn't enough to setup zekken, just said that sacy would often setup both tenz and zekken. ofc he did it well but when not having another player like tenz who you want to be making plays like a duelist, you can allocate more util towards zekken.

also narrate fade? zellsis kayo? narrate skye? narrate gekko? like this guy is a good initiator he just hasn't played sova

n4rrate is probably an upgrade in terms of firepower. bang has a LOT to prove to take the place of tenz, especially last year when he was one of if not sen's best player. the team has the potential to be a really good upgrade but it depends on how the players mesh

one of the best fraggers in EMEA from init probably one of the best fragging inits in the world to be honest and then you go to Bang who is obviously a downgrade but still has a shit ton of good firepower and has proven he could hang with the best this is the best roster yet

one of the best fraggers that didnt make shanghai and champs who also lost 9/13 games in both split 1 and 2 and also had a singular assist on gekko with regenerative util. lol you cant make this shit up, sen fans dont actually watch games

How is "didnt make shanghai and champs" an argument. N4rrate was on a dogshit tier 2 NA team that got RELEGATED last year, does that mean he was shit then? Theres a reason he got picked up to KC even after that...

u cant claim someone is the best or one of the best if they dont even make 2/3 biggest int tournaments. its like saying some west brom player is the best if he doesnt attend CL, WC and etc

Initiator - MASSIVE UPGRADE
Smokes- Slight downgrade but they have different style. TenZ just made zekken a lot better player with how he played, you won't get that with anyone else so in that sense Big downgrade.
