Sentinels Sentinels North America Rank #4 N4RRATE Marshall Massey Reduxx Yassin Aboulalazm johnqt Mohamed Amine Ouarid Kyu Mirel Braco Hrustemovic cortezia Gabriel Cortez has announced the departure of Zachary "zekken" Patrone.

Sentinels' contract with zekken ran until the end of the 2025 season, meaning he leaves as a free agent.

zekken has been a mainstay in the Sentinels roster since joining in late 2022 from a XSET XSET Inactive squad that was one of the most dominant North American forces in pre-partnership Valorant. He played alongside the likes of Cryocells and BcJ on XSET, and joined Sentinels as the team's go-to Duelist player while also filling into the Initiator role, while veteran TenZ still played the Duelist role. Since then, he's grown into one of the most feared Duelists not just in North America but in the entire world.

In 2024 with Sentinels, zekken helped the squad lift trophies at Americas Kickoff and Masters Madrid, capping off the organization's first trophy-laden season since 2021 with a fourth-place finish at Champions Seoul.

After a strong year, which ended with veterans TenZ and Sacy retiring, Sentinels entered a rebuild of sorts. That rebuild was followed by a weaker 2025, where Sentinels fell short of to asserting themselves as the top team to beat in Americas with runner-up finishes at Kickoff and Stage 1, and a third-place finish in Stage 2. While Sentinels did reach all three international events in the year, they were eliminated in the Masters Bangkok Swiss stage, a 5th-6th finish at Masters Toronto, and a group stage elimination at Champions Seoul.
