Sentinels reportedly considering sinatraa as a replacement for zombs
Sentinels 2.0.
Update as of April 18:Riot Games has retracted a previous email sent by a member of its team that stated that a mandatory component of a competitive ruling issued to sinatraa was not necessary. Sinatraa will now be required to undergoprofessional conduct trainingbefore he is allowed to compete again.
North American juggernautSentinelsmay finally be exploring changes to their Valorant roster. The team is practicing without controller player Jared “zombs” Gitlin, according to a report fromDot Esports’ George Geddesand Max Katz.
The team notably stayed together despite lackluster finishes atMasters BerlinandChampions 2021last year. However, they failed to turn things around in this year’sVCT NA Stage 1 Challengers, ending the stage without qualifying forMasters Reykjavik.
Zombs could be benched if the team finds a suitable replacement before Stage 2 begins in May. And in an interesting turn of events, one of the possible candidates is thought to be former playerJay “sinatraa” Won, who recentlyannounced his return to pro playafter a year away.

Sinatraa has made no secret of the fact that he wants to return to his old team to compete. In a follow-up tweet confirming his decision to compete again, he said that his first choice was still Sentinels.
The organization will try out multiple hopefuls, according to Dot Esports, with the goal of signing a flex player.
The Overwatch superstar was known for playingSovaandRazeduring his time on Sentinels. However, he has recently been playingKAY/Oin hisranked games, possibly adding the robotic initiator to his agent pool.
Having said that, Sinatraa’s return would likely also be met with significant controversy, after he was suspended for six months for not cooperating with investigations in the wake of sexual harassment allegations last year.
Following his suspension, he was replaced by former Cloud9 starTyson “TenZ” Ngo, who helped the team to ahistoric flawless runatMasters Reykjavik 2021.
