Sentinels captain Amine “johnqt” Ouarid has stated with 100% confidence that his team will win a tournament in 2025. In an interview with Pedro Romero, he also discussed the leadership process in the revamped roster and the changes that have taken place within the team.

Following the retirement of Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi and Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, their spots were taken by Sean “bezerra” Christian and Marshall “N4RRATE” Massey. According to johnqt, the new lineup is significantly different from the previous one.

Honestly, it feels like a completely different team. We are not trying to recreate the 2024 Sentinels — this is a new squad with different personalities. Last year, we had many experienced leaders like Sacy and TenZ. Now the team is younger, it has a different style, but we will gradually find our own way.

the IGL noted

Despite the changes, johnqt is convinced that Sentinels will claim victory this year.

We will definitely win a tournament in 2025, I am 100% sure of it. It’s just a matter of time — the key is to peak at the right moment. I see how the team is growing, and most likely, we will reach our peak at Champions.

Sentinels next match is set for Friday, January 31. The team will face LOUD in a battle for a spot in the VCT Americas Kickoff 2025 upper bracket final. The match will start at 7:00 PM Brazilian time, and the winner will be just one BO3 series away from securing a ticket to Masters Bangkok.
