Sentinels drop Coach Sykko following a rocky start
Sentinels are the first winners of International LAN winners of Valorant. Since then, the team has seen the best success on the server. But off the server, things were great for the team. For their final run before the Valorant's partnership program, they brought in Shroud. Additionally, Tarik and Aceu are some of the biggest names in Esports signed with Sentinels. The signings surely helped them secure the Valorant Partnership.
For the roster, Sentinels let go of the complete old roster except for SicK and TenZ. They brought XSET's core in Dephh, Zekken, and Coach Sykko. Valorant champions 2022 in Sacy and Pancada joined the VCT Americas venture.
The main roster of Sentinels was TenZ, Dephh, Zekken, Sacy, and Pancada. The roster had some of the best players in Valorant, and the world had high hopes for the roster. They initially experimented with TenZ on Kay/o, but the experiment did not work. The flexible TenZ experiment saw a sad end as the team exited VCT LOCK//IN after a one-sided loss to Fnatic.
During the VCT LOCK//IN, Sentinels and Rob Moore came under fire for treating SicK unfairly. While the SicK situation is a different tango altogether. The roster still went into VCT Americas as a strong team.
Sentinels in VCT Americas:
They won their first game. In that game, they switched roles. But the success didn't last long, as, after the first win, Sentinels lost to NRG and Leviatan last night. The loss was disappointing as the roster boasts some great talent, and the results thus far were disappointing.
Going into the next week, Sentinels needed to reflect on the mistakes made, but there was no need for an immediate change. Rob Moore, CEO of Sentinels, announced the departure of Don "Sykko" Muir from the roster. Kaplan will be the acting Head Coach for the roster.
The reason behind the change is unknown, but performance isn't the only issue. With Kaplan as the Head Coach, Sentinels will definitely try to make changes to ensure the season ends on a positive note.
