Valyn reflects on facing Sentinels at LCQ: ‘The most significant match in NA, and we remained calm’

The Guard’s Valyn confident after win against Sentinels

After a highly anticipated match, The Guard’s in-game leader Valyn expressed his pride in his team’s composure against the unpredictable Sentinels team. With this victory, Valyn believes they can continue to perform well.

Strong performance in a record-breaking match

The Guard faced tough challenges in VCT Masters Reykjavík, but they returned to their impressive Stage One form in their recent match. This match attracted a record-breaking online audience of over 600,000 viewers on Twitch and YouTube.

A tough starting point for The Guard

Valyn acknowledged that the first match is always challenging for the team, but he is relieved that they secured a win. After struggling in Stage Two, The Guard needed to bounce back and adapt to the changing meta.

A return to their winning style of play

With coaching from mCe, The Guard was reminded to play together and take risks. This aggressive style paid off, with Trent Cairns leading the team with an impressive K/D ratio and dominant performances against Sentinels.

If The Guard can maintain their confidence, another international appearance is likely for this talented young team. Their next match is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 6.
