it can be a smart and good decision for Sentinels to field Zellsis instead of pANcada especially if the team seems to perform better with him, if they truly believe that their team is better with Zellsis than pANcada then they should play with the 5 that they think is most likely to win
it can still be a fucked up situation for pANcada to get benched for a player that was specifically signed to be a 6th man/substitute player especially when pANcada is undoubtedly an extremely strong player and deserves to be starting on a franchised roster
an ideal solution would be if one of the Brazilian franchise teams was interested in having pANcada start for them (assuming pANcada is willing to transfer) and SEN were able to come to an agreement to trade/transfer his contract to them
now if SEN is purposely keeping pANcada in contract jail and purposely not allowing him to play either for them or for another team, then yeah that is pretty fucked up, but unless we actually know that's the case, it's not fair to assume
hopefully we can see pANcada playing in VCT Americas in 2024, regardless of what team it's for
