Going into the final match of the VCT Americas Kickoff play-in stage, Sentinels needed one map win against G2 to secure a spot in the semifinals. With that map now secured, what they really need is some time to rest before their decisive match against NRG.
Across the VCT Americas Kickoff tournament, Sentinels have notched a total of 265 rounds of VALORANT between five series, a number greater than the combined 255 rounds played by the three group winners: LOUD with 113, NRG with 90, and Evil Geniuses with just 52. All three of those teams also played a total of zero matches in offseason events, while Sentinels alone played 11 (including the Tarik Invitational showmatch).
