April 28 marked the first day of the fourth week of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1. Sentinels, who became world champions at Masters Madrid and won for the first time in three years, suffered a defeat against LOUD, putting them in a difficult position to advance to the playoffs after their third loss.
Last week, the struggling LOUD team, opening the tournament with a zero score from three defeats, faced off against Sentinels, who lost to Evil Geniuses in the third week and secured two wins and two losses. Despite SEN victory over LOUD on the final map in Kick-off, the Brazilian team confidently led the game and won with an overall score of 2-0.
This defeat became the third for Sentinels, and now they are trailing behind other teams in Group Alpha. There are only two days left – the third and fifth days of Americas Stage 1. Sentinels path to the playoffs and, consequently, participation in Masters Shanghai, is now in an extremely difficult position.
It is expected that G2 Esports and NRG will vie for third place in Group Alpha, but do Sentinels have a chance for the playoffs? The fate of the team in the Americas Stage 1 tournament hangs by a thread, and eSports fans await further developments. Sentinels next match against FURIA is scheduled for May 4.
