Sentinels Duo Zombs and Sinatraa to make their Valorant Competitive return with Untamable Beasts. The roster also features Marved, Dizzy and ProdCM and will compete in the Knights NA challengers LCQ.

The team has enough talent to battle the best teams in North America. Jay "Sinatraa" Won will also return to competitive play after the Riot Suspension.

Sinatraa's Competitive Suspension:

In March 2021, Sinatraa's former partner Cleo Hernandez published a Google Doc alleging the earlier of Sexually assaulting her during their nine-month-long relationship. The Google Docs also had proof regarding the allegations, including chats logs and audio recordings. The Google Docs outs Won as a controlling, possessive and abusive partner. Hernandez also accused Won of Emotional abuse and called the relationship emotionally scarring for her.

Responding to the allegations, Sinatraa refuted all the claims of Sexual Assault but apologised to Hernandez for his behaviour. He also said he'd cooperate with the investigation and provide his side to the investigation. During this time, Both Sentinels and Valorant Champions Tour NA suspended Won for the duration of the investigation.

After a week, Riot Suspended Sinatraa for six months for not cooperating with the investigation. Riot mentions Won misrepresented facts and made false statements. Riot's investigation ended without a definite conclusion, and the case was handed to appropriate law enforcement. After a year, around April 14th 2022, Sinatraa claimed his suspension had ended, and he was ready to return to competition.

While there was no conclusive evidence of sexual assault, Won was still responsible for his ex-partner's "Emotional Abuse", and the community still had malevolence towards Won. The baggage surrounding the player led to no organisations taking a chance with Sinatraa.

Untamable Beasts:

Sinatraa will now play alongside his former teammate Zombs in the Untamable beasts. Zombs was last seen playing for V1 as a substitute, and before he stopped competing, Zombs was amongst the top Controllers in North America. Especially in 2021, Zombs was North America's best Controller player. Sinatraa and Zombs dominated the Valorant scene together in 2020 with Sentinels, and they were the team to beat. After Sinatraa's suspension, Zombs and Sentinels went on to win the first International trophy of Valorant.

The Duo will be joined by the controller of 2022's best team Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen. Marved and Optic were the best team in 2022, and he was one of the best players of the 2022 year. Finally, streamers Prod and Dizzy will be Joining them. On Paper, the squad has enough talent to be at the top of the crop and compete with the best in the world.

The team dubbed "Untamable Beasts" will play the Knights NA Challengers LCQ. Amongst other teams, V1 will be the team joining them. The open qualifiers for the Knights NA Challengers are still underway, and after they finish, the LCQ starts on January 17th.
