Sentinel form
The team's situation is even worse than that of future opponents. The Sentinels roster has not won a single match since the beginning of the tournament, thanks to which it ended up in the last line of the tournament with a score of 0-4.
Since the beginning of 2022, the club’s situation is almost the same as in the tournament. Having played a total of 20 matches with an extremely low win rate of 45%, they have not achieved any significant results in local or international tournaments.
The composition of the Sentinels
- ShahZaM
- SicK
- dapr
- TenZ
- Kanpeki
In mid-April, the club sent zombs to the bench, instead of which they acquired Kanpeki, who previously played in Akrew. During the same period, the organization acquires Rawkus from FaZe Clan and makes him the head coach.

Match prediction
Both teams did not have a successful tournament, and this is clear. Continuous losses lowered both clubs to the very bottom of the table because of this it is very difficult to predict who will win, but it still seems to me that the “Defenders” will not be able to beat Cloud9.
The result is a victory for Cloud9.
