Seems like Sen has joined a new team, the taiwanese SC2 team Gama Bears. Gama Bears is one of the 5 teams in the Taiwanese E-Sports League (TeSL), which is the premier Taiwanese SC2 Team league.
I haven't found any official announcements from Fnatic, Gama Bears or Sen, but it seems to be true: TeSL season 2 start Gama Bears first match (see insight spoiler)
Sen already announced he was interested: Sen to join TeSL

EDIT 2: Sen officially joins Gama Bears Just to make everything even more confusing.

He may be allowed to participate in TeSL while still being part of Fnatic. I think if he had left Fnatic there would have been news regarding that somewhere O_o!

Good for him I guess :s I can't imagine that switch really being financially sound, but maybe I'm the only one who cares about money ^^

He was already part of a team in TeSL while being in Fnatic. IDK maybe im Wrong i guess it doesn't matter since he is active outside Taiwan and always wear Fnatic T-Shirt.

I believe Sen's contract is coming up with fnatic. I know fnatic would not let Sen play in the TESL previously due to contract issues or something like that (can't remember if Sen said this somewhere or xeris). But Sen made it sound like he wasn't going to renew because he really wants to play in the taiwanese league.
I may be remembering wrong but thats what i remember xD.

I seem to remember that this doesn't mean that he's leaving fnatic. Can't wait to see more of sen though, he's kinda good.

no you are right he previously mentioned that he was really hoping to play in TeSL but couldn't atm because of sponsor issuses(or something), so this move would make sense

Incorrect actually.

What is incorrect? didn't he leave Fnatic? Didn't he join Gama Bears? Please, explain. I'm a bit confused.

Sen joining gama bears, leaving fnatic, or what? So cryptic, gawd

maybe he made a new contract with fnatic (when his old was going to end) with the option to play in TeSL?

Thats what I think most likely happened. For their previous contract Sen probably couldn't play, but fnatic does not want to lose Sen, and Sen really wanted to play in the TESL, so I am imagining they made a deal of some sort so fnatic can keep sen (because who wouldn't? he's sick good). and Sen is happy being able to play in TESL like he wants. So I imagine its a win/win for both if this happened.

Theres probably an official announcement coming soon which is why Xeris was so brief.

Alternatively, xeris be trollin' us.

... I don't get it. Is he going to be a consultant for the team again or is going to play for them? Maybe it will be like whiter a where he is onn ttesports but still plays internationally.

There have been a lot of these cross-regional team partnerships (oGs-Liquid, MVP-Complexity, ect). So this could just be another one. Or nothing's happened yet and they're still negotiating with Sen.
Remember he left Fnatic once (to Duskbin) and came back. So I don't think he's all that eager to ditch Fnatic.
To add more baseless speculation, remember that new Acer team with Mondragon? Acer is a Taiwanese company so when I read the announcement I was sure that Sen was going to join them when his contract with Fnatic was up.

Whatever the case, he's my favorite zerg player and I wish him luck.
