I don't think Sinatraa is gonna come back for a while, most likely scenario being the end of this year during roster shuffles. I'm quite sure that Sinatraa said something about wanting to be in a Tier 1 team(or maybe he said he just wanted to be on Sentinels, but it was something like that), the orgs that wish to risk their reputation are much smaller probably, to jump on this kind of opportunity. Maybe they will allow him freedom to build the roster, but 100t, V1, and Xset took all the Free Agents I really think are the best. Even if he says he has been getting offers, it's more likely to be smaller orgs, or maybe Rise or FaZe.

Wait actually Rise and FaZe exist, well I guess I am wrong rip.
I would expect it more likely that he will get signed during a roster shuffle before LCQ if there is one this year when teams are desperate.
Orgs aren't just in Valorant, and big ones especially, I don't think a lot of them want to risk their rep for a smaller game, unless they really believe it will add just what they need.

Will the Match Fixers or the Scammers pick up Sinatraa first is the question I guess then.

actually possible, but not sure if Sinatraa wants to join an org that's practically non existent in valorant(and most video games now), but monetary support would be pretty decent, so building a team would be much more feasible.

yup, EG would be a good choice for him if someone wants to build a whole team around him.

We don't even know if Ethan and Wardell are going to play the next split it's hard to see Sinatraa doing so unless he has already arrived to an agreement with a team

Yea, most likely since he said that he has gotten offers, that he hasn't signed anything yet, because he would put out the signed gif instead. Tryouts will last a while as well, probably has to build his rep as a player in scrims and then will most likely get signed during late year roster shuffle.

NO, I HECKIN LOVE ZOMBS, #ZOMBSNATION. I just quite legitimately believe that it is a horrid idea, and it won't work out in tryouts. I mean I don't know, but I really believe smokes are a really important role, and zombs is very good at smokes. Maybe it will work out in scrims with less strategic play(NA teams troll scrims), but eventually having a smoke main is really helpful, and zombs plays a very supportive style, his impact is quite often hidden. Sick is a flex player, they are meant to be really helpful to adapt to new metas and stuff, this would just be a huge loss to Sentinel's longevity. He is great at most things, but even then, the rest of the team has to change around roles a little, and the Stonks that Sentinels are probably going to put into Chamber could backfire very heavily, because already losing so much adaptability.

TL;DR Replacing Zombs with a non smoke main is a bad idea.
