Sentinels signs Rawkus ahead of the Valorant Champions

Before this announcement, Sentinels had been competing without an official head coach. Hence, many fans are having huge expectations from the team in the upcoming tournament with a new head coach. Rawkus is also a former Overwatch League pro with the Houston Outlaws.

During Valorant Champions Tour, Sentinels and FaZe Clan met each other three times during the first stage. Sentinels overshadowed FaZe Clan by winning all three series without dropping a single map. Because of all the consecutive losses, former FaZe player, Rawkus posted on Twitter, “if ya can’t beat em join em, time to win champs”.

Sentinels continued to win the first VCT stage and became one of the best teams in North America and in the world, qualifying for Champions. Rawkus used to be a Sova main during his time with FaZe and it would be very exciting to see how he will put his experience as a head coach for Sentinels.

Although things are looking too great for Sentinels, FaZe Clan might be facing a rough time. This is the second Valorant departure for FaZe in the course of a week after Hunter “BabyJ” Schline announced he will depart his ways from the organization on November 2. Currently, the FaZe roster consists of babybay, Corey Nigra, and Zachary “ZachaREEE” Lombardo, and former CS:GO pro-turned-coach Joshua “JDM” Marzano.
