Sentinels did not make any changes to the active roster that includes Tyson “TenZ” Ngo and Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen of Canada, Zachary “zekken” Patrone of the U.S., Rory “dephh” Jackson of the United Kingdom, and Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi and Bryan “pANcada” Luna of Brazil.
Their first match with Kaplan as head coach is Friday against LOUD.
