Fueled by collaborative play and creative strategy from the five-man roster featuring Michael "dapr" Gulino, Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan, Hunter "SicK" Mims, Tyson "TenZ" Ngo, and Jared "zombs" Gitlin, the Sentinels earned the most illustrious victory in competitive VALORANT history Sunday claiming championship glory in the first-ever VALORANT Masters event. Sentinels have reached the finals in each of Riot Games' first three VALORANT Champions Tour events, winning the first VALORANT Challengers event of the year in February and now defeating FaZe Clan in grand finals of VALORANT Masters Stage 1 in a 3-0 sweep.
