Sentinels Makes Roster Change Ahead of VCT Americas
After an exciting super week, VALORANT fans and teams are gearing up for a frantic race for the final playoff spots in VCT Americas. Sentinels, one popular team, is still searching for answers as they head into the second half of the season.
The North American organization announced a significant roster change today, moving Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen into the starting lineup for the rest of the split. Marved will be replacing Tyson “TenZ” Ngo for the foreseeable future. However, TenZ will still remain on the team throughout the whole process.
This decision comes after Sentinels’ new VALORANT head coach Adam Kaplan gave TenZ some time away from competitive play last week. TenZ needed to rest and recover as he contracted COVID and suffered from a joint infection in his left hand. As a result, Marved substitute for their matches against LOUD and MIBR.

Sentinels performed well over the weekend, sweeping MIBR in a convincing two-game victory. They also managed to win a game against LOUD, the current best roster in the league with a perfect 5-0 series record. Marved had an excellent debut, achieving a 1.82 KDA with an impressive 249 ACS over five games, according to Liquipedia.
Marved’s next match as a starter will be against C9. C9 is currently on a three-series win streak, defeating 100 Thieves, NRG, and FURIA. Nathan “leaf” Orf has been one of the best players in the last four weeks, boasting one of the highest ACS and the third-most kills in the league.
You can watch Sentinels when they face off against C9 on Sunday, April 30 at 2pm CT.
