Sentinels Roster
Winning condition for Sentinels
The real win condition for Sentinels will highly rely on TenZ on whether or not he will be able to perform well on the day to create a snowball effect for the entire team. Also, early game momentum will play a big role in setting the stage for later rounds of the game.
Winning condition for Nuturn
If Nuturn can manage to shut down Sentinels’ star players from firing off right from the very start, their more methodical approach to VALORANT and clever use of utilities on post-plant situations will definitely be the difference between winning and losing.
Even though on paper Sentinels comes out on the top, it wouldn’t be wise to sleep on Nuturn.
