The world crowned its first-ever world champions back in May with the Valorant Iceland tournament. It served as the first LAN event that the budding esport has ever seen and it produced astonishing results. The North-American region turned out to be the strongest in the entire world, as the tournament crowned Team Sentinels as the winner. The top-rated NA team never dropped a single map let alone a series to lift the world cup in a dominant fashion.
This inspiring unbeaten run has brought retired professional player Shroud out of his long hiatus. The famous streamer has decided to take part in VCT (Valorant Championship Tour) open qualifiers. Team Sentinel’s leader ShahZam thinks it will make for entertaining streams and it will also serve as the perfect content for Valorant’s publicity.
” It’s dope, he’s just playing for fun, I mean he was originally a competitor. It will be fun to watch, good content, good publicity for Valorant”
