Jay “Sinatraa” Won Returns to Professional VALORANT with Team Untamable Beasts
Popular streamer PROD has announced that Jay “Sinatraa” Won will make his comeback to professional VALORANT competition at the VALORANT Challengers North America last chance qualifier, taking place from January 17 to 22.
The team in which PROD and Sinatraa will be playing is called Untamable Beasts. They are aiming to secure one of the two spots available for the secondary VALORANT league in North America at the last chance qualifier.
Who is Joining Sinatraa in his New VALORANT Team?
Joining Sinatraa and PROD in Untamable Beasts are former OpTic Gaming star Marved, former Sentinels player Jared “zombs” Gitlin, and streamer dizzy. Marved has taken a break from his career and has not joined any franchised teams for the 2023 season. Zombs, who has been on Sentinels’ bench since April 2022, announced his retirement from professional VALORANT in November 2022, suggesting he will continue with Sentinels as a content creator.
Though Marved and zombs are part of Untamable Beasts, it is Sinatraa who is attracting the most attention. The former Overwatch League superstar made the switch to VALORANT in April 2020 and was considered one of the game’s best players. However, he was moved to the inactive roster in March 2021 due to sexual assault allegations made by his former girlfriend Cleo Hernandez.
Sinatraa also received a six-month suspension from Riot Games in May 2021 for “failing to fully cooperate” with the investigation into the sexual assault claims. While he expressed his readiness to return to professional play in April 2022, he did not sign with any team and continued to work as a content creator.
Two teams from the VALORANT Challengers North America last chance qualifier will join the secondary league in North America alongside four teams from the open qualifier, which began on January 9. Notable teams participating in NA Challengers one include The Guard, FaZe Clan, TSM, and G2 Esports.
