In the VCT Americas LCQ, Sentinels and TenZ were defeated by Leviatán 2-0 after two months of arduous rehearsal in anticipation of a run to Valorant Champions. Sentinels were quite serious about the VCT Americas LCQ competition. Before the competition, the team’s coach, Adam “Kaplan” Kaplan, said they had been practicing and reviewing nonstop.
However, the demanding timetable leading up to the competition needed to be revised for Sentinels to secure a place at Valorant Champions. On July 17, the team was demoted to the lower bracket, and the following day they were defeated by Leviatán. TenZ expressed disappointment that the group had fallen short of their goals and that their efforts had gone unnoticed.
It was rather hectic. “We were doing a lot of VOD review. We’re doing a lot of simple scrims in general. We worked six days a week. “I’m sure there were moments of genius when we were performing. There were moments when we were playing at the top of our game. And other times, you could have seen that we were throwing some rounds, and perhaps the communications became too hot. Maybe there was a slip-up or an unlucky event, he said. The Sentinels star said that since the top American teams competed at VCT Masters Tokyo in Japan, practice quality wasn’t always at its highest before LCQ. The Guard and M80 two of the top-tier two practice partners. They were also absent since they were in Brazil competing in the Americas Ascension event.

Sentinels struggled mightily during the season. Hunter ‘SicK’ Mims, a team replacement player, was sentenced to two terms in prison for trespassing and was subsequently suspended from the Sentinels. The team acquired Jimmy ‘Marved’ Nguyen to take SicK’s spot as a backup, but owing to TenZ’s sickness and a finger injury. He was almost immediately moved into the starting lineup.
During the VCT Americas split, the company fired the team’s first head coach and IGL. In response to a question regarding his season as a whole, TenZ called it “pretty hectic.” “Just taking into account the fact that we had several problems in the beginning, around the time of the team’s formation, about halfway through [the season], and then we finally settled to this point. With the lineup we now have, we’ve likely played and performed at our best, according to TenZ.
In addition, the 22-year-old athlete said that playing in the VCT Americas league was more demanding than playing at home in prior seasons’ international tournament qualifiers.
