Sentinels' zekken talks about the most important things he has learned during VCT Masters Madrid

The new roster of Sentinels had shown a lot of promise as they were able to win a competitive OFF//SEASON tournament and even the Americas Kickoff. This made them the obvious favorites coming into VCT Masters Madrid 2024.

However, the team took quite a beating against Gen.G in the Upper Finals, and with the amount of disadvantages stacked against them, the rematch was predicted to be somewhat similar. In the Grand Finals, Sentinels showed a lot of resilience and were able to go toe to toe against the Pacific champions. Every player on the team was able to give it their all and eventually contributed towards the win.

Out of them all, zekken performed masterfully, scoring a total of 101 kills. In the post-match conference of VCT Masters Madrid, Sportskeeda Esports asked him about what he thought were the important learnings from the entire event that he would continue to implement in the future.

Here's what he said:

"I would just say playing more. Like the consistency that I've kept throughout my entire time competing. Just keep playing, keep working, keep trying to find ways to improve. I have just kind of kept it consistent my entire time and tried to do it in Kickoff and I tried to do it here and it worked out. So I would just say consistency and trying to play as much as I can and trying to improve at the same time while I'm playing. It worked out."

With this victory, Sentinels have become the winners of VCT Masters Madrid. This makes them the only organization to have two Masters wins under their belt. Their next match will be against 100 Thieves in the Americas League.
