Problem is John

#1

JustHunter

Johnqt might lowkey be the problem. Theyre extremely inconsistent, somedays absolutely unbeatable some days a tier 2 team level of play. I thought it was because he didnt have enough fragging power to work with among his players but now that he has all these players at his disposal and hes still struggling it might be his level of calling. We did also see this on M80 and they often just fought through it with sheer firepower.
I think Sacy likely also had a huge impact in the calling and helping johnqt with the load.
Its the end times for SEN City

THE PROBLEM IS THEIR DUMBASSES SPAMMING NEON THE ENTIRE OFF-SEASON EVEN AFTER 9.11 AND THE NERFS WERE REVEALED. SEN DONT EVEN HAVE A PROPER COMP FOR PEARL HEADING INTO VCT RIGHT NOW, AND THATS IGNORING THE FACT THAT NEON PEARL HAS ALWAYS BEEN ASS.

“FUNSIES” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. THEY WERE SWEATING THEIR BALLS OFF LAST YEAR IN THE AFREECA TOURNEY, THE COMPS YOURE SEEING NOW ARE WHAT THEYVE BEEN SCRIMMING WITH. SEN NOW HAS A MONTH LEFT TO GET RID OF THEIR NEON FIXATION WHILE OTHER TEAMS ARE ALREADY WAY AHEAD OF THEM IN THAT DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE DOOMED.

Yeah I feel like still playing with Neon even after it was leaked she is getting axed is just asking to be left behind comps wise. By the time they properly switch out the neon from their comps, other teams are gonna be way ahead of them and at that point it's an uphill battle

they had the problems before during and after neon meta, they had the problem on non neon maps, they have the problem on players OTHER than their neon player. Thats just a stupid dedcution

yea i was a bit worried about that too. GENG changed their comp to fit in Jett for the upcoming Kick off but SEN is still forcing neon for a handful of maps.

Do you think they sit on their asses in scrims ?? lmao most brain-dead take, why would they run their comp in an off-season tourney.

its a good time to test it out, like what GENG is doing now as well as some other teams. Some teams do that while some don't. It wasn't a braindead take, but flair and flag check, I think I know why u THINK it was braindead.

did you just upvote yourself instead of taking it like a champ? and got triggered by flag? AND showing off your prejudice by saying that I would eat french fries and chicken? At least in USA we know a thing about hygiene. Oh, did I mention that some part of your flag has a festival where they throw cow shit at each other? yikes.

yea except im not complaining about this after one match, im complaining after a whole year and technically more (M80 days of his calling) of having this issue. I just brushed it under the rug as the fragging like i said but obviously now that they seem so inconsistent map to map and have MASSIVE issues in terms of micro, clearly its smth else and all i can think of is it being john

lets also forget that Sen won Madrid without Neon in the meta, and clearly don't need Zekken to play Neon to be good.

its not that he isnt good, its that he very obviously has a weakness and its his inconsistency. Why do you think that when everything the entire year was going well for him and he had the easy favourites team to win ascension he managed to get rolled by TG?
You need ot understand that im not blaming john for us losing cause frankly it doesnt seem like anyone other than zellsis is doing anything to help with the calling but i am saying he needs to imrpove his consistency or else sen wont win anything even after upgrading their fragging power

Like am i wrong here? They crumbled in a 12-5 lead. What kind of adjustments were made by SEN here.
Theyre losing to NRG at only 1 week of prac and now against a tier 2 team that couldnt even get to the grand finals in ascension Pacific.

Swapping narrate and john seems like a bad idea. we know narrate was so good in kc using the initiator.

im not suggesting he get replaced though. They need to fix their calling problem cause losing Sacy is lowkey gonna hurt them a lot in the long run if nothing changes.

Tbh getting Bang instead of Zander will ruin their year.
You need a good second caller and they just didn’t pursue him

Zander couldve been a great pickup and in my eyes was the obvious decision for SEN but i guess they just really wanted to firepower bang brings. To be fair bang is a player that can completely take over and i dont think hell be their downfall.
Having zellsis should be enough for John to call well consistently but maybe they just need to coach players like bang and narrate more to do some midrounding, specifically Narrate tho to my knowledge he already does

I don’t think Zellsis calling will do them any good, he and John probably call alike..
The Zander pick up would have helped this team fundamentally

It’s actually going to be a year of aim duels

If i knew the answer to that id be competing at a pro level. All im saying is a team with the achievements sen has and the expectations they do need to make sure they fix any possible issues they can, let alone something as significant as Sens inconsistency issues
