The Sentinels have had a hard time in the past Regional Challengers of VCT 2022. Even a slot for them at the LCQ seemed very uncertain until Ghost Gaming fell from their position. Now that they have the last chance to qualify for the prestigious Valorant Champions Tour, the Sentinels have been trying to make their game stronger.

With Shroud’s acquisition, the Sentinels Valorant roster now has a lot of competitive experience to bank on. All they needed was an analyst. From the looks of it, the Sentinels were planning to include Pokimane as their Valorant analyst in their journey to VCT 2022. As they announced their decision to not go forward with Pokimane, the Twitch star also took a savage dig at the Sentinels, humbling them.
