Sentinels, the once-dominant VALORANT team, has secured its first trophy in over a year after sweeping the competition at the AfreecaTV League in Korea. The team’s success comes after a period of rebuilding, which saw the addition of former Cloud9 player TenZ and substitute player Zellsis.
Sentinels’ decision to rebuild its roster before joining VCT Americas as one of the partnered teams appears to have paid off, as the team has now added yet another international title to its collection. With TenZ and Zellsis now part of the main team, Sentinels looks set to continue its winning streak in the coming months.
