The players shared their decisions on social media, with Tenz even releasing an emotional eight-minute video detailing his journey and outlining his plans beyond esports.
Tenz’s Retirement Was Long Planned
Interestingly, Tenz disclosed that his retirement had been on his mind as early as the beginning of 2024. His decision to experiment with new roles in the game before stepping down was part of a personal strategy to leave without any lingering regrets. By the time he exited the professional scene, Tenz wanted to ensure there would be no « what if » questions haunting him in the future.
Moving forward, Tenz has his sights set on content creation. Fans can expect to see him more frequently live-streaming and uploading videos, as he plans to be more active in the gaming content space.
Sacy Reflects on His Journey
Sacy, known for playing the initiator role in the teams he’s been part of, announced his departure through an Instagram post, sharing moments from his time with the Sentinels and his previous teams. He reflected on the highlights of his career, including being the first player to win both VCT Champions and Masters, making his retirement a significant moment for the VALORANT esports scene.
His heartfelt farewell has garnered praise from fans and teammates alike, celebrating his contributions to the team.
What’s Next for the Sentinels?
With two key players gone, the Sentinels roster now faces a critical turning point. The team’s success has been built on the synergy and skill of its core members, and these sudden retirements will undoubtedly lead to major shifts within the organization. A rework of the roster seems inevitable as they look to replace the talent lost.
Sentinels first gained prominence during VALORANT’s early days, famously winning the first VCT Masters Reykjavik. However, with Tenz stepping away and Sacy closing out his chapter, the organization must now seek fresh talent to maintain its legacy.
Currently, the remaining roster includes Zellsis, Zekken, and Johnqt. Sen Curry is expected to potentially fill one of the open spots, while a fifth player has yet to be determined. All eyes are on Sentinels to see how they navigate this new challenge and whether they can return to their former glory.
In the wake of these back-to-back retirements, the future of Sentinels remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—VALORANT’s competitive landscape is about to change.
