With a disappointing performance this regular season of VCT Americas, Sentinels was almost out of the running for the playoffs. But the final nail in the coffin was their surprising loss to Evil Geniuses on May 6. Now with a score of 2-5 and only two matches left, the chances of Sentinels making the Valorant Challengers Americas playoffs are very meek.

Following this, former Counter-Strike pro player Tarik talked about the performance of his team during this split. The 27-year-old discussed the squad’s complete overhaul, and the team dropping SyykoNT, but foremost he defended TenZ.

TenZ has been under a lot of fire for this year’s performance of Sentinels. This criticism was so brutal that Kyedae came forward to address the situation. Furthermore, Tarik has also come forward to defend the now-benched player TenZ.

While reviewing the gameplay from Sentinels versus Cloud 9, the former CSGO pro noted that TenZ is not the sole culprit in the defeats.“At least we got our answer,” Tarik said. He continued, “Honestly, Kyedae is probably happy about this, because TenZ was getting a lot of undeserved hate.” He stated fans cannot pin the losses on any one member.

Whatever may be the reason for the losses, Tarik has come in strong support of TenZ. “Scapegoating on Tyson was f***ing ridiculous,” he concluded. The current roster not being stable was according to him the main factor for losses.

Tarik talks about Sentinels changing the roster

However, Tarik thinks that roster changes were to blame for the losses. He believes the team is now not solid enough, which is causing erratic outcomes. “We should have had our set team, coach, management, everything. Obviously, things weren’t working out, so they had to make changes, but it sucks that it worked out that way,” he said.

He compared their situation with Team DSG. They too are facing a loss streak amidst roster moves. Tarik stressed the need of having a stable environment for teams before the start of the season to expect a decent performance from the players. He feels the roster will be able to produce more wins after the chaos around the team settles down.
