Sentinels' recent performance in the VCT 2023 Americas League has been less than stellar, with only two wins and five losses, keeping them away from the playoff bracket. The team has undergone various roster changes, including alterations to the coaching staff. The departure of head coach Sykko led to Kaplan's promotion to the position.
Additionally, Marved temporarily substituted for TenZ due to the latter's injury, injecting enthusiasm into the team and making a strong impact. Now, Marved finds himself alongside TenZ on the new Sentinels lineup.
Dephh's departure leaves fans wondering about the future direction of the team. The British player, who previously represented Dignitas and XSET, had joined Sentinels at the beginning of the 2023 season. However, his time with the organization yielded mixed results, and Sentinels' recent struggles likely played a role in his decision.
With dephh's exit, the spotlight shifts to the In-Game Leader (IGL) position within the roster. As Sentinels gears up for the next phase, the question arises: Who will step up and lead the team in their upcoming games? Fans eagerly anticipate the announcement of Sentinels' roster update, which the organization has teased for tomorrow.
