While pANcada will remain under Sentinels contract for the time being, he has been told by the organization that he can explore options with any VALORANT<\/a><\/em> team, and Sentinels says it “will not ask for a buyout from any prospective organization to ensure he joins a new team as soon as possible.”<\/p>
With pANcada seemingly exiting the organization in the near future, this effectively makes Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro the starter, as the previous sixth man<\/a> has made several starting roster appearances throughout the offseason and VCT Americas. With Zellsis in the starting mix, Sentinels qualified for Masters Madrid<\/a> while also smashing viewership records for regional VALORANT<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>
The absence of pANcada from the Sentinels roster has been a major talking point since the start of the offseason, as reported visa issues kept him from competing in several offseason events and the Kickoff tournament. PANcada has also voiced his displeasure with the Sentinels’ sixth-man situation, expressing frustration <\/a>on the matter back in November and this past month<\/a>.<\/p>
