Pokimane gave a witty reaction while reviewing the new Sentinels Valorant roster earlier. She delivered a dunk reply to the organization's satirical announcement that they removed her considerations from the Valorant analyst position.
Initially comprised of former CS and Overwatch players, Sentinels grew to be one of the most followed competitive Valorant teams with their complete domination in Masters Reykjavík.
However, after earning the World Champions title, the team has found it hard to reclaim its spot at the top in subsequent events. Pokimane took a dig at this fact earlier today, much to fans' surprise.

Pokimane jestful shot at Sentinels invigorated the community
Post the recent signings of legendary CS player Michael "shroud" Grzesiek and former Version1 player Zellsis. The new roster is being talked about as a top contender with names like Shazam and Tenz already on the team.
Pokimane also expressed great joy at the prospect of seeing Shroud compete again, given he dropped esports for streaming in 2018.
"I am so hyped to see this. I mean, for staters, obviously I love Valorant, but because we haven't see Shroud play competitively in like a few years, yeah? That's so exciting. What do you guys think? And Shazam and Shroud on the same team."
Given that many initially dismissed Sentinel's signing of Shroud as a joke, the team's social media managers decided to announce a fake roster update as a joke.
Pokimane is known for her hilarity in these online exchanges and did not disappoint her fans.
The team's official account quickly replied, taking Pokimane's joke about their string of below-expectations performances in good spirits.
Shroud joined the exchange soon after to add another layer of hilarity to the matter.

Many came up with hilarious memes to describe the whole exchange.
