Sacy’s Departure Leaves Sentinels in Transition
In a surprising turn of events, Sacy has announced his retirement from competitive Valorant, just a day after TenZ revealed his own departure. The Sentinels, once considered one of the top teams in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), now face a significant rebuild.
A Storied Career with Sentinels
Sentinels have been a dominant force in the VCT, showcasing exceptional skill and consistency at international events. They boasted a roster that many teams aspired to match, achieving impressive victories and maintaining a high level of performance both domestically and internationally.
The Impact of Back-to-Back Retirements
The retirement of both Sacy and TenZ, two of the most prominent figures in Valorant, has left a void in the Sentinels’ lineup. These back-to-back announcements have sent shockwaves through the community, as fans and analysts alike ponder the future of one of the game’s most beloved teams.
Sacy’s Legacy and Future Plans
Sacy, who has been a key player since the inception of Valorant’s competitive scene in 2020, leaves behind a legacy highlighted by his victory at Valorant Champions 2022 with LOUD. Despite a rocky start with Sentinels, he managed to lead the team to significant victories, including besting LOUD domestically in 2024 and winning Masters Madrid.
In his retirement announcement, Sacy expressed a desire to focus on his personal life, stating, “Now I’ve made the tough decision to stop playing. I’m retiring officially. It’s a tough one, but I think it’s the right choice now. For me, for my family. You guys know me as Sacy, I’ve known myself as Sacy since I was 13 years old. But now, I think it’s time to know about Gustavo.”
The Road Ahead for Sentinels
