Soniqs, an all-Australian squad, couldn’t handle Sentinels’ dominance on Bind.
On Haven, Sentinels pulled off a clever spike defuse followed by an aggressive 3k play from TenZ using the Judge, putting Soniqs in a tough economic spot and securing a significant lead for Sentinels going into the second half of the game.
Despite Soniqs’ efforts, they were unable to overcome the significant lead that Sentinels had built in the first half of Haven. Sentinels ultimately won the series 2-1 with scores of 13-7, 13-5, 13-5. TenZ finished the series with a K/D ratio of 45-42, and had a positive rating in opening duels.
