Sentinels abandons competitive Fortnite, leaving a former world champ teamless
It’s not often that you see an esports organization willingly let go of a world champion, and especially one in an immensely popular title. But that’s the reality of the esports business right now, and that’s the case with Sentinels.
The org’s CEO, Rob Moore, announced today that Sentinels is leaving competitive Fortnite entirely. He went on to note that all of the org’s Fortnite payers won’t be re-signed heading into 2023, including Nick “Aspect” McGuire, Brian “Zyfa” Wielgolaski, and most notably 2019 Fortnite World Cup solos champion Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf.
