In the recent Cloud9 vs Sentinels match-up, both teams had victory on their minds. And to get the best of the other team, Sentinels’ Zekken and Cloud9’s Xeppaa both chose the agent Raze. However, their decision to play with Raze led to a bug-filled match between the two pro teams.

Bugs found in-game become the highlight of the Sentinels vs Cloud9 match

Both teams matched up against each other in the VCT Americas LCQ. Sentinels supporters complained about issues with Raze’s Showstopper ultimate ability during the match. Sentinels’ Zekken cornered Cloud9’s Xeppaa, Leaf, and Jakee in one round with Showstopper ability enabled. Although all three opponent players were directly present in the blast radius, the three of them survived the attack with zero damage.

This was due to them hiding behind a box that had glitched, creating an invisible hitbox for the players that protected them. This has led to complaints from Valorant fans, who are asking Riot Games to quickly fix this issue. Furthermore, Xeppaa, who was also using Raze, faced somewhat similar problems during the match.
