How does Sentinels' roster look before the Valorant Champions Tour 2022 NA Last Chance Qualifier?

Sentinels' Valorant roster was formed back in June 2020, coinciding with the launch of the game. Led by ShahZaM, the roster dominated the entire North American circuit throughout the 2020-2021 season. Sentinels even won the first-ever official international tournament of the VCT 2021 series, Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík.

However, as the game and the esports community surrounding it matured, talented teams like Gambit, Team Envy, and Acend emerged and put a stop to Sentinels’ domination. The team fell from the number one ranking in November 2021 to number thirteen on the list of North American Valorant teams.

Sentinels have not qualified for the upcoming Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen, but they have qualified for the NA Last Chance Qualifier. Earlier this month, Shahzam announced that Hunter "SicK" Mims would be missing NA LCQ as he wanted to take a break for his mental health.

Back in 2014-2015, shroud played alongside Shahzam as part of the Cloud9 CS: GO roster (which TenZ was also a part of in 2019) before shifting to Valorant. As such, shroud’s addition to the roster is expected to revitalize their synergy, which many fans feel has been missing from Sentinels' recent performances.
