Sentinels have made a roster move yet again. This time, however, it has worked in their favor. This new roster has managed to keep the team’s hopes alive to make the playoffs in Valorant Americas. After their IGL, Dephh decided to leave the roster, and the chances of Sentinels qualifying were looking meek. The return of their star player TenZ and subsequently Marved taking up the mantle of IGL did wonders for the team.

Now the squad is gearing up for their do-or-die match against Furia on May 18. Before the much-awaited matchup, TenZ has given his honest opinion on the current roster of Sentinels.

But he feels, right now, the team is still not stable enough. “Obviously, we’re not as structured since it was kind of like a last-minute thing with like this whole roster,” he clarified. TenZ added, “and we’re kind of playing with the flow.”
