Losing a title is never easy. After Tenz and Sentinels lost their final chance at the VCT playoffs, it was a tough moment for the young pro. After coming back from a finger injury, Tenz and the Sentinel squad looked ready to take on the title. However, they crashed out of the tournament in the end.
GG’s we lose to Leviatan 0-2 they outclassed us today. Crushes my soul knowing that we weren’t able to play to our rosters full potential and our year ending like this… Really just heartbroken atm. Appreciate all the hardwork this team put in but to all the fans I’m sorry.…

Heavy with the loss in the competition, Tenz took to Twitter, apologizing to fans as well as his teammates. He emphasized wanting to perform better during the season on an individual level. Moreover, Tenz believes the current squad did not play to its full level, meaning there is still potential to be even better. Despite all the work the Sentinels team and coach put in to prepare, it ended in disappointment for fans, something Tenz felt incredibly bad for.
The end of the Valorant Champions Tour for Sentinels came after their loss to Leviatán. It was a cascade of failures no one expected the team to face, especially since their roster saw major additions made to it. With two champions added to the team in the form of Sacy and pANcada, Sentinels looked set to be one of the leading contenders this year.

However, it did not reflect the internal issues that plagued the Valorant squad. SicK was on medical leave due to mental issues, ending up in jail twice during this time. To add to their troubles, coach SyykoNT departed with IGL detth shortly after. Even Tenz was forced to part ways with the team for a short while due to a finger injury. While a medical substitute was brought in, it never fulfilled the potential the squad had, especially with a roster built around young talent like Tenz. It looks like it became too much for the team to handle.
Because they missed playoffs, the only route was through LCQ. However, Leviatán crushed their dreams in a 0-2 victory. It was a loss that saw the team out of the Valorant season for this year.
