Amine Ouarid also make their return from the 2025 roster.
After a disappointing performance at Champions Paris, Sentinels let go of core pieces that defined the identity of their roster for the past few years. Long-time players zekken and Zellsis left to pursue new opportunities, leaving johnqt as the only remaining member of the Masters Madrid winning squad.
To replace their veteran talent, Sentinels made use of their recently formed academy team. Its founding member, Reduxx, was primed to make the jump to tier 1, having just reached the age of eligibility for VCT. He exploded onto the tier 2 scene in 2023 with

Also being promoted from Cubert Academy is Initiator player Kyu. A late addition to the team, he only played with the team for Stage 3 this year. In that short time, however, he was able to help Cubert go undefeated out of the Swiss Stage, taking a match off

, who was a strong contender early in the year, and placed second in Stage 1.
The pair of Cubert alums will have the chance to prove themselves on the VCT stage for the first time as they usher in a new era of Sentinels.
Rounding out the roster is Brazilian talent cortezia, most recently from MIBR. In his first taste of tier 1 play this past season, he managed to qualify for two international events, making both Masters Toronto and Champions Paris. While the former event ended in disaster, the latter event saw MIBR make a strong run all the way to the top six. cortezia will continue Sentinels' history with Brazilian talent, following in the footsteps of Sacy and pANcada that once donned the red jersey before him.
