Sentinel’s Valorant team seems to be doomed to success!

The Sentinel clan is considered to be one of the deadliest teams in the world of Valorant. Over the years, this team has crowned itself as champions in multiple tournaments. From winning the VCT playoffs to finishing at the top in the JBL Quantum Cup, this team has done it all.

The Valorant pros were at their peak in March, as they had clinched victory over every opponent. But soon, the team became doomed to success.

To this, Sentinel player ShahZaM uploaded a tweet, saying, ‘Ah, if only people knew half of what we’ve had to work through. I’m sorry, it’s been a rough stage for us as team. Just remember we are real human beings, not robots playing valorant.’ 

Sentinel’s Valorant team has lost seven out of their 10 matches. Sadly, they were the NA challengers in the prestigious VCT tournament. Even though Sentinel lost 70% of their matches, what affected them the most was their 2 – 0 loss against the mighty Faze clan.

Vividly, the team had won the past few games against their arch-rivals, so accepting defeat was hard for them. Apart from losing to Faze, Sentinel’s Valorant team also lost to the 2022 Masters Reykjavík champions OpTic in stage 2.

Mind you, this coach was previously a part of the Faze clan. So, even if the team seems to be in a slump, it won’t be long before they make a deadly comeback.
