Surviving the “Group of Death”
The road to Valorant Champions 2024 just got a lot clearer for Sentinels. After enduring a 900-day drought from international Valorant tournaments, the North American powerhouse has emphatically reasserted themselves as an elite force. Sentinels conquered the daunting “group of death” at the VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff event before outdueling all opposition in the playoffs to secure the championship title.
Their journey began in the crucible of Group B, stacked with legendary Valorant rosters like Loud and G2 Esports. But Sentinels refused to be intimidated. They survived a chaotic triple-threat tiebreaker to advance to the play-in stage, swiftly dispatching their final group stage hurdle.
Clutch Playoff Performances
In the VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff playoffs, Sentinels faced a reckoning against last year’s Valorant world champions, NRG. In a match that came down to the wire, Tenz and crew showed their clutch gene, winning an overtime thriller on Map 1’s Haven to start their conquest.
Tenz Leads Sentinels’ Redemption
Then came the finals versus Loud – a rematch from groups that held even higher stakes. Sentinels started scorching hot, taking a commanding 2-0 lead behind Tenz’s 47 kills across Maps 1 and 2. But the Brazilian bruisers wouldn’t go down quietly, bouncing back to force a do-or-die Map 5 with championship point implications.
When the pressure cooker environment was at its most intense, Sentinels displayed remarkable poise and resilience. They locked in, played their game, and ultimately triumphed to etch their names into Valorant lore.

Path to Valorant Champions
The Kickoff title represents more than just a trophy, however. Sentinels have locked up a crucial 3 circuit points towards qualifying for Valorant Champions 2024 later this year. More importantly, they’ve served notice that they are an honest-to-goodness contender again on Valorant’s biggest stages.
Led by Tenz’s transcendent performances and newfound versatility, this Sentinels lineup has officially rejoined the ranks of Valorant’s elite. Their sights are now set on carrying this momentum all the way to the grand finals in Madrid and beyond.
Consider the rest of the world put on notice – Sentinels are back among Valorant’s powerhouse teams.
