Smash Melee community bash Sentinels CEO after ‘greedy’ attempt to sign top player
Super Smash Bros. is not known for being the biggest draw for esports sponsors, leaving many top players without a banner to play under. That doesn’t mean the Melee community was going to sit back and let a team openly lowball one of the best players in the world.
In October, Sentinels CEO Rob Moore said the team would sign top Melee player Cody Schwab if Zachary “zekken” Patrone and the team’s VALORANT squad won the Sentinels Invitational—which they did. We now know that negotiations between both sides have been happening since that interaction happened, but whatever deal was discussed ended up falling through.
