It's a move that nobody expected for the Sentinels VALORANT roster change, but the team have captured the signature of former Counter-Strike Global Offensive player turned multi-millionaire streamer Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek. The move comes as Sentinels have tried to re-jig their roster in a last-gasp chance of making the VALORANT Champions Tour: Champions, as they have a one-shot path through the Last Chance Qualifier. So, what else is new in the latest Sentinels VALORANT roster change?

Long-time Sentinels fans will recognise three core players of the new Sentinels VALORANT roster change, having been a part of the line-up that won back-to-back Masters championships in 2021.

Two new faces make complete the round off, although they're not really new faces...

  • Shahzeb "ShahZam" Khan (IGL)
  • Michael "dapr" Gulino
  • Tyson "TenZ" Ngo
  • Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek
  • Jordan "Zellsis" Montemurro
    • Shane "Rawkus" Flaherty (Head Coach)

According to reports, Shroud will continue with the team into Champions, should they progress through the Last Chance Qualifier.

 

Sentinels VALORANT Roster Change - Inactive Players

Amongst the Sentinels organisation remain four additional players, all of whom are contracted to the roster but are either unable to play or have deviated into a content creation role.

  • Hunter "SicK" Mims
  • Jared "zombs" Gitlin 
  • Eric "Kanpeki" Xu
  • Jay "Sinatraa" Won

The latter, Sinatraa, is still unavailable for selection in VALORANT esports, despite his ban being lifted amid a sexual assault allegation. He did announce his intentions to return to VALORANT, and specifically the Sentinels roster. However, it surfaced that Riot Games allowed him to skip mandatory training. Following some backlash, Sinatraa was made to complete the course before being eligible for selection again.

SicK remains an integral part of the Sentinels VALORANT roster change plans, but cannot compete at the moment due to a family emergency. Kanpeki also remains signed, but has made way for Zellsis, while Zombs has moved into content creation and refused to return to the esports roster.
