Sentinels uniforms
Unlike many professional teams, the year for the Sentinels did not begin with VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, but at the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational, where the squad won bronze and earned $5,000. But 17th-32nd place in the standings of the aforementioned VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo brought the players an additional $5,000 in prize money.

Fourth place deprived Sentinels of the opportunity to attend the Valorant World Championship. After a short break, the team took part in several show matches.
The previous professional tournament for the Sentinels was the Sentinels Invitational, a small LAN tournament with a $20,000 prize pool.
