Fresh off their win at Masters Madrid, Sentinels may have to take on rivals 100 Thieves without their in-game leader Amine “johnqt” Ouarid at the start of VCT Americas stage one.
Johnqt has not been able to return to the United States at the time of writing, supposedly due to issues with his visa, according to TenZ on one of his recent streams. Johnqt has been streaming EU ranked gameplay and watching the VCT EMEA matches in the meantime. According to TenZ, Sentinels will either have to play with recently signed substitute Rahul “curry” Nemani, or play with johnqt with no practice since Masters if he’s even able to get back to Los Angeles in time. The team has been practicing with curry in recent days in the event that johnqt does not return in time.
