Cubert Academy Cubert Academy Inactive zander Alexander Dituri stand-in nightz Christian Smith has announced the temporary return of former Sentinels Sentinels North America Rank #10 OXY Francis Hoang brawk Brock Somerhalder canezerra Alex Banyasz johnqt Mohamed Amine Ouarid star Tyson "TenZ" Ngo for the duration of its Stage 2 NA Challengers playoffs run. This signing comes eight months after the talent retired to pursue content creation last September.

After a fruitful career that lasted nearly five years – with two international trophies hoisted – TenZ announced that he was stepping back from competitive play as he made the transition to full-time streaming. His last year with Sentinels saw the organization reach new heights and claim not just a title at Masters Madrid, but a top four finish at that year's Champions, the best the team had ever placed on the golden stage.

Cubert Academy launched last November with a mix of talent built around Yassin "Reduxx" Aboulalazm for the For Those Who Dare qualifiers. Prior to the commencement of this year's NA Challengers, Sentinels' academy team was officialized with a mix of young talent and seasoned veterans. Led by Travis "tdawgg" Regan, the squad performed well in Stage 1 and finished among the top four, notably taking out the newly-signed ENVY ENVY North America Rank #9 Eggsterr Evan Grady roster before falling to M80 M80 Inactive , the eventual runner-ups.

Following the recent NRG NRG North America Rank #2 mada Adam Pampuch skuba Logan Jenkins Ethan Ethan Arnold changes, Cubert bid farewell to Logan "skuba" Jenkins as he departed the Tier 2 scene in order to fill the gap left by a now-retired Pujan "FiNESSE" Mehta. With a vacant spot on the team open ahead of Stage 2 playoffs, Cubert initially planned to sign and field Ambrosia Ambrosia Inactive GLYPH Conner Garcia acrian satellite Derrick Xu 's Derrick "satellite" Xu, but rulings from the tournament organizers disallowed him to continue with the squad for playoffs.

TenZ will remain with his former organization's academy team as they aim to take the crown this Stage. While the team cannot qualify for Ascension, they are still capable of making a dangerous and deep run throughout Challengers.
