According to a report by Sheep Esports' Anonimotum, Sentinels have reached a verbal agreement with Marshall "N4RRATE" Massey and Sean "bang" Bezerra to join their VALORANT roster for the VCT 2025 season.

The duo will replace Tyson "TenZ" Ngo and Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi, who announced their retirement last month.

The new Controller-Initiator duo

N4RRATE will return to VCT Americas after spending a year with Karmine Corp, his second professional team. During this time, he garnered significant attention as an initiator.

In his debut international tournament, he dominated the competition and was the highest-rated player. Unfortunately, Karmine Corp did not qualify for any further tournaments.

Bang, on the other hand, has been a well-known name in VCT Americas and the North American scene. During VCT 2024, he helped 100 Thieves secure the VCT Americas Mid-Season trophy.

Bang's best international result with 100 Thieves also came in 2024, when the team finished 4th at VCT 2024: Masters Shanghai. 100 Thieves confirmed bang's departure earlier today.

 

With these two additions, the Sentinels roster for VCT 2025 will be:

The duo shows great promise in replacing two of Sentinels' legends, but only time will tell how the squad will perform.
