With the season on the line and a daunting but doable path to the VCT Americas 2023 playoffs ahead of Sentinels, the VALORANT team’s young sensation has shown up big in the past two matches after a rough midseason slump.
Zachary “zekken” Patrone has led the way for his team on the scoreboard in the past two matches, including his best overall series of the year in what was a must-have win for Sentinels against KRU on May 14. Zekken didn’t allow KRU’s first win of the year to come at Sentinels’ expense, notching a +14 K/D, a 283 ACS, and a server high 92 percent KAST percent (kill, assist, trade, survive). This followed a strong personal performance against EG in what was otherwise a dismal loss for Sentinels.
