During a VOD review stream on Wednesday, Oct. 25 of the recent Moist x Shopify vs. Sentinels show match, VCT caster Sideshow fired back at someone in his chat who was disparaging Sentinels’ Brazilian players.<\/p>
“The Brazilians have ruined my SENS,” a user wrote in Sideshow’s Twitch chat during the VOD review during a section where Bryan “pANcada” Vinicius Luna da Silva was playing poorly.<\/p>
Sideshow read this comment out loud on stream and immediately responded with justified outrage. <\/p>
“Your SEN was dogshit,<\/em> even before the Brazilian players joined,” Sideshow said while looking pained and exasperated. “Don’t try to tell me that ‘your<\/em> SEN’ was a top team before the Brazilians joined.”<\/p>
Statistically, it’s no secret that Sideshow is correct here. Sentinels haven’t had a significant tier-one or tier-two tournament win since 2021<\/a>. Back then, they looked like the team to beat, taking home the Masters Reykjav\u00edk trophy and continuing to see success in the North American Challengers circuit.\u00a0<\/p>
The Brazilian players, on the other hand, took second place at Masters Reykjav\u00edk 2022 and went on to win that year’s Champions with their former LOUD teammates. PANcada finished out the tournament as one of its top-eight players<\/a> with a rating of 1.15 across 17 maps.\u00a0<\/p>
The Sentinels roster has shifted again ahead of the 2024 season, with former OpTic Gaming player Marved and new in-game leader and former M80 star Mouhamed “johnqt” Ouarid joining in March and September, respectively. Maybe this new blood will be the shakeup needed to return the former world champions to winning form, though that wasn’t the case for the recent show match against Moist x Shopify<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
