The Sentinels Valorant team has made some significant moves during the off-season, signing two new players for the upcoming VCT 2024 season. Jordan ‘Zellsis’ Montemurro and Mouhamed ‘johnqt’ Ouarid have joined the roster, bringing fresh talent and possibilities for the team. In this article, we will analyze the impact of these signings and explore whether they can turn the tide for Sentinels.
The 2023 season was not kind to Sentinels, as they struggled to find consistency and failed to qualify for international events. With a desire for change, the organization has brought in Zellsis as a substitute player. Zellsis has previous experience with Sentinels, having played for them during the Valorant Champions LCQ in 2022. He later joined Cloud9 for the VCT 2023 season but did not qualify for any international events. As a versatile player who can adapt to different roles, Zellsis provides valuable depth to the roster.
Joining Zellsis is johnqt, who previously played for M80. Known for his improvement and strong leadership skills, johnqt has been signed as the in-game leader (IGL) of the team. Sentinels struggled in 2023 without a reliable IGL, and johnqt’s arrival hopes to address this issue. With his experience in the T2 Valorant scene and ability to adapt to different situations, johnqt brings a strategic and tactical edge to the team.
These acquisitions bring excitement and potential to Sentinels. The team now boasts a roster that includes former champions such as Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo, Jimmy ‘Marved’ Nguyen, and Gustavo ‘Sacy’ Rossi. However, it is important to note that the success of these signings is not guaranteed. Previous roster changes and internal disputes impacted Sentinels' performance in the past, highlighting the need for strong teamwork and consistency.
In order to see significant improvements, the Sentinels team will need to focus on relearning fundamentals, improving their teamwork, and maintaining consistency in both scrimmages and official matches. The addition of Zellsis and johnqt provides the tools necessary for success, but it will ultimately be up to the team to capitalize on this potential.
As the 2024 VCT season approaches, fans eagerly await the performance of Sentinels. Will the new signings rejuvenate the team and lead to better results? Only time will tell. It is an exciting new chapter for Sentinels Valorant, and fans are hopeful for a successful future.
