Former Cloud 9 CS: GO player, and prominent Twitch broadcaster Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is joining Valorant. Sentinels announced on Twitter this afternoon that he will join the lineup for the next LCQ tournament.
Hunter “SicK” Mims briefly resigned from Valorant due to a family crisis. Many believed coach Shane “Rawkus” Flaherty would replace him.
Sentinels had something much more spectacular in mind since adding shroud has boosted curiosity about the team’s performance.
Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan and Tyson “TenZ” Ngo have helped make Sentinels one of the most popular Valorant teams globally. The team’s Twitch presence and fantastic run of form in 2021 helped Sentinels dominate the Valorant landscape.
The squad has deteriorated, missing both LAN tournaments in 2022. “shroud,” who hasn’t played competitive esports in years, might help Sentinels qualify for Champions in 2022. Everything hinges on North America’s LCQ.
