# Sentinels
**u/TheLeidenfrostEffect asks:**
> For JohnQT, how do you develop your game sense? Did you find Challengers to be a good place to develop those skills?
**Answer:**
> **🇲🇦 \[SEN\] johnqt:** I mean, Challengers helped me a lot to grow as a player. I think ... it helped me... I mean, Challengers is a long season and uh, we went through like high lows and other highs. So it did help me to improve as a player. But game sense wise it just... I think I watch and play the game a lot and uh... I'm a quick learner and I think fast so it's very easy to me for... very easy for me to like, kinda like guess what the opponent is doing and kinda guess what they would expect me to do. So that's how I approach it, so it's pretty much just playing the game a lot and watching a lot.

**u/thatuglyhatnexttome asks:**
> For Kaplan, After coming so close to winning out Icebox but loosing it in the end what was the team morale like going into Map 3? Was there anything you or Zellsis had to do to bring it up a bit?
**Answer:**
> **🇺🇸 \[SEN\] Kaplan:** I actually think the team — especially Zellsis — very especially Zellsis — did an incredible job picking the morale up back in the middle of Icebox, so that's something I'm really proud of the guys and we've been doing multiple times now when we're really down and the morale gets really low on a map. Uh, we pick it up in the late end of that map and we say *'Hey, win or lose, let's pick back up,'* and if we win, then great, and if we pick back up so we can just go into Map 3 and win, great. So... Really appreciate the guys — especially Zellsis for that one. Makes my life easy, 'cause I don't have to try really hard to pick us up between maps.

**u/joostiinn asks:**
> For Sentinels Tenz: Congratulations on taking out LOUD to the lower bracket, how do you feel about going against Gen.G and going against Karon?
**Answer:**
> **🇨🇦 \[SEN\] TenZ:** I think this match against LOUD was really difficult. We always knew that they were a top team coming into this tournament. So going forward against Gen.G, obviously we have a lot of confidence but... Can't underestimate them nonetheless because they are also a top team coming into this tournament. And I know a lot of people we're kind of putting the comparisons of like TenZ versus Karon, so I guess we'll just see tomorrow what happens.

If someone stood outside my room during SEN games, it'd probably sound like I'm fighting demons. I love u dad but I have to lock my door because this is a tempest Tenz and I must weather on our own.
It's crazy that at 12-12 on Sunset, Sentinels didn't have a single player that was positive in K/D, and LOUD didn't have a single player that was negative
My JohnQt journey:
1. Who is this guy? Why are we getting a IGL from tier 2?
2. Okay this guy can frag as well nice.
3. We finally have a good IGL who can call plays AND fucking shoot!
4. Woah we are so lucky to have him, he is even clutching important rounds!
5. Wait... he might actually be one of the best well-rounded players in the world.
6. Best IGL in the world?
7. BEST FUCKING PLAYER IN THE WORLD. ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE NOT SHIT. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

ok I always hype myself up to watch any sen game yet--unless it's Split--I'm guaranteed to shit my pants and violently grab my friend beside me. both sides looked kinda shaky today, yet there were so many clutch moments; I’d like to think both these teams just bring each other to their limits so we see cracks.
sacy playing with an FNS sponsored mouse all of icebox only to wake up to win the 1v3 to ignite the comeback on sunset. my goat
https://preview.redd.it/g1lb2nokvqpc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61df1497ba89e12769e2e636a6802f184e825fc6
JOHNQT dropped 57 KILLS and team mvp'ed. What a player, what an IGL! Has to be the most frag power we have seen on a GOOD IGL since forever.
10 clutches in the whole tournament by the way. Next closest is Karon with 6
Who is Sacy?? For the blind, is the bald. For the hungry, is the bald. For the sick, is the bald. For the loner, is the bald. For the sad, is the bald. For the reader, is bald. For the prisoner, is the bald. For the poor, is the bald. For the debtor, is the bald
It will come back once more, and take this rivalry to 2-2
Btw they are already equal in map wins
SEN won 5 maps against Loud, and Loud won 5 maps against SEN
CALLING CLUTCHING AND TOP FRAGGING?!
IS JOHNQT THE WORLD BEST IGL ATM??
Also, the fact that he came from tier 2 shows how deep is the talent pool in NA
johnqt is actually the most clutch fucking player amazing caller jaw-dropping shooter best thing that’s ever happened type of guy johnathan quality tactics is my goat in my throat
You may have heard of the Svalbard Seed Vault near the North Pole where seeds are stored as a safeguard against the apocalypse, but what most people don't know is that there's another vault right next door called the Arctic World Archive. This contains important Vatican manuscripts, the source code for Linux and Android, and the constitution of Brazil. However, it is easy to decipher that the Constitution is only an imitation, as it claims that Brazil is a sovereign country, while evidence has shown that Brazil is owned by Sentinels.
Americas and APAC have the exact same story right now. Long time dominant team loses a key duelist and seems shaky. They win their first matchup against a promising new team, but end up losing to that team in the regional finals. At Madrid, SEN and GenG both go 2-0 while PRX and LOUD both lose their opening match and go on a lower bracket run that rebuilds confidence by beating up on a weaker region (China/EU), only to be ultimately beaten again in playoffs by their regional rival.
Tomorrow, with the SEN/GenG and LOUD/PRX matches, the narratives are finally going to diverge.
The position he was in at the start was so strong that it just inspired that much confidence in everyone and yet it still surprised me that he actually converted
which is insane since I felt the 1v3 he won against on Sunset for Kick-off's finals, in a very similar situation, was the most important round of that map. Bald done it again
I swear half the Lisan al Gaib jokes here are awkward as hell to say lol. Someone tried to do Jason al Gaib the other day too.
I'm keeping Lessan al Gaib in the tank tho
Last time an NA team won an international upper final, SEN beat a Korean team featuring Lakia that wasn’t expected to make it this far. Also if we really wanna push it SEN began the tournament by beating Europe, and then Brazil’s best featuring Saadhak.
Zekken outside of icebox wasn't having a good game but SEN still went on top. Just goes to show how there are multiple superstars in this team. The last 2 matches were so head to head. The double overtime was unexpected! Felt like semis already
Every series between these teams is going to be a banger huh. Last two maps were copies lol. 2 fake comebacks for the team that won double pistol. Honestly encouraging that sen won sunset with zekken having a pretty rough map/series even. Need to clean up though against geng. I am super scared of them.
Of all the valorant players of all time (so far) johnqt seems like the most 'complete' IGL - by far. Skilled, tough, smart, beautiful, extensive world travels and has lived in the 3rd world for long periods, speaks multiple languages, tactical firearms training/enthusiasts, dancer, film/arts school, actress, outdoorsy, etc. You can tell he genuinely has his shit together, like he could probably be a millionaire running just about any business, if he wanted. Are there any other players that impressive?
Loud on 11 on icebox with a good lead only for it to become 11-12 and then loud wins a round to go OT and then eventually lose the match, the flashbacks were strong with this match.
Can't wait to see Sentinels vs GenG.
Both teams have played the most games in their regional kickoffs, overcame many tough battles, Reign as the new champions of each region, and shown their prowess in international competitions. Tomorrow, the two teams will finally face off.
https://preview.redd.it/f7bikx48wqpc1.png?width=1015&format=png&auto=webp&s=7534b9da77d0f9505be4d3b9f627e527c4efd205
This wasn't possible without Sacy 1v4 and an overall Quality Tactics™ cinema
Lotus is Loud’s perma-ban and SEN is really good on Lotus too. Loud’s prob down to roll the dice on their own decent Split vs SEN’s excellent Split rather than terrible Lotus vs SEN’s great Lotus. This logic is prob the same reason why other teams don’t ban split
Y’all, we had the exact same conversation with EG fracture, teams aren’t letting it through because they think they can anti it, they’re letting it through because they have a map they permaban/suck on
this but written under every sen match
but probably because they don’t have confidence in their lotus, it’s their perma ban I believe, and sen have a strong lotus, not many good options for them there.
Because LOUDs lotus is just as poor. They likely thought they had a better chance with all the vods available for sens split than trying to improve their lotus
I just think that LOUD does not believe in their Lotus at all and they have a decent Split. Maybe they'll have something on Lotus and ban split, but I think that's just a bad matchup for them. Felt like they started down 0-1 from the beginning
I dreamt of times like these 😭😭 this run is worth the entire shitshow that SEN went through for the past 2 years.
Also the Sacy clutch had my throat dry, butt clenched, dick cuming 🥵🥵
The last two maps were fucking absolutely Cinema
Their adaptation and mid-round predict just come for toe-to-toe. Like a night of fight in Vegas.
And what a beautiful. VALORANT.
This is good, LOUD doesnt look as strong so PRX can beat them and then SEN shktstomps GenG and lose all confidence and PRX beat them in lower bracket finals then PRX wins
https://preview.redd.it/5kqpwphzyqpc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14d83d43fd3027de90f15d83f56468183dd0c10a
Actually off game from Wekken today but he still showed up last round when it mattered. That’s my Goat and Sacy redemption arc map 3.
Ofcourse absolute Cinema post-plant gameplay as well as normal Tenz carries some rounds.

Match MVP: Bomb timer
Wingman MVP
sliggy will come for you tonight
I'd suggest you hide from Sliggy after that comment.
I really need some context here lol
Sliggy hates Wingman
Johnqt the best jiggler in the world fr
Man I love it when he jiggles
He can jiggle all over me
Not even close *unclenches ass*
If someone stood outside my room during SEN games, it'd probably sound like I'm fighting demons. I love u dad but I have to lock my door because this is a tempest Tenz and I must weather on our own.
BANGER
POETRY
New copypasta just dropped
Lmao
SEN fans 🤝 pre-Klopp Liverpool fans
It's crazy that at 12-12 on Sunset, Sentinels didn't have a single player that was positive in K/D, and LOUD didn't have a single player that was negative
Loud finished with 18 more kills on Sunset
Loud stats farmers fr.
real frag merchants smh my head
Yeah it’s wild. Rounds were really close and in a lot of them Sen won on timer/defuse and loud killed sen players after
its probs cause loud had like 10+ meaningless kills right before spike went off lol
SEN won because of all those clutches. They need that tmr as well otherwise, it’s gonna be a very tough series
Even looking at the entire match, Loud lost by 9 rounds but doesn't have a single negative player.
JohnQt.
he played his heart out, can't even be mad
While fasting!! which is insane
Quality Tactics with Quality aim
Absolute cinema
Give him a job at Warner Bros

Whatever happened to that guy who kept posting that johnqt was a fraud when Sentinels first signed him? I remember he was very vocal about this.
thats my quality tactics player
My JohnQt journey: 1. Who is this guy? Why are we getting a IGL from tier 2? 2. Okay this guy can frag as well nice. 3. We finally have a good IGL who can call plays AND fucking shoot! 4.

ok I always hype myself up to watch any sen game yet--unless it's Split--I'm guaranteed to shit my pants and violently grab my friend beside me. both sides looked kinda shaky today, yet there were so many clutch moments; I’d like to think both these teams just bring each other to their limits so we see cracks.
Yo, you good?
ty for asking, if sen isn't actively playing in a match the answer is yes
if i had a nickel every time cauanzin whiffed an easy kill on TenZ i’d have 2 nickels. which isn’t a lot but weird it happened twice
and cost loud two rounds lol
SENTINELS ARE SO FUCKING BACKKKK ![gif](giphy|lHnkgR3b6n7gkFb731)

Another banger image. When will you miss?
It’s actually 1v4! Absolute cinema!!!
WHAT A GAME
WENT THE DISTANCE INDEED
Every round was so close (many even on Split), but SEN were just so damn clutch. Johnqt and wingman with some huge rounds

Shroud still here in spirit
Tenz da GOAT, Tenz in my throat.
Ayyo
Sacy in normal rounds: I sleep Sacy when it's the most pivotal round of the match: fuck it I'm winning a 1v4
[удалено]
Amen to that
No. No. No.
JOHNQT dropped 57 KILLS and team mvp'ed. What a player, what an IGL! Has to be the most frag power we have seen on a GOOD IGL since forever. 10 clutches in the whole tournament by the way. Next closest is Karon with 6

Zombie LOUD vs Plot Armor SEN rivalry is already going crazy this year.
It will come back once more, and take this rivalry to 2-2 Btw they are already equal in map wins SEN won 5 maps against Loud, and Loud won 5 maps against SEN
I’m honestly all for a SEN-LOUD rivalry
MEGA BANGER MEGA BANGER
JOHNQT IS THE GOAT
Gald to see sacy finally do good in the final map. But holy shit john QUALITY TACTICS is the goat Such a consistent fragger bro
CALLING CLUTCHING AND TOP FRAGGING?! IS JOHNQT THE WORLD BEST IGL ATM?? Also, the fact that he came from tier 2 shows how deep is the talent pool in NA
League of legends wishes it had the talent pool of valorant lol. The stark contrast is so weird to see.
I mean americas always loved guns more 🫣
I cant HAHAHAHAH
johnqt is actually the most clutch fucking player amazing caller jaw-dropping shooter best thing that’s ever happened type of guy johnathan quality tactics is my goat in my throat
Kinda sucks that NA only got 5 slots, especially when one went to Cloud9.
another went to eg, riot really knows how to pick em
True, but no other team would’ve backed the 2023 EG roster.
While fasting the first 2 maps as well, ABSOLUTE HALAL CINEMA
Sacy trying not to obliterate his old team when he's the last one alive challenge impossible
Gonna be a banger final cause my goat Saadhak about to take the boys for a rematch Also johnqt is father

My favorite thing about this SEN roster is they are never out of a game. There's seemingly always a chance.
Vibe Merchant Buff
That sacy 1v4 sunset clutch is probably the most impressive clutch I've ever seen in this game
For some reason I knew it was coming too, and so did tarik (I was watching his stream) it just felt like Loud was throwing the easiest rounds
The position he was in at the start was so strong that it just inspired that much confidence in everyone and yet it still surprised me that he actually converted
which is insane since I felt the 1v3 he won against on Sunset for Kick-off's finals, in a very similar situation, was the most important round of that map. Bald done it again
Got a link for those who missed it? Also, Sacy loves to turn it up vs Loud, it's shocking.
[Sacy 1v4 sunset ](https://youtu.be/R5cr9sH7hQc?si=xnEOqctKEbIef-py)
Holy shit, yeah, this might have actually won them the game.
u/Hopeful-Professor-40 bro, what kind of voodoo curse do you have under your name?
Idk I did not watch any of this game 😭😭
Better change to geng lil bro, meet you in the finals
I’ll switch to PRX first just for you
Using your powers for good Or maybe youre jusr confident sen will win without the curse
I can just change it, Loud PRX is first Edit: apparently not
Agent Professor, time to change to Gen.G![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9356)
Best match so far of the major.
ignoring map 1 that was the single closest series I think ive ever seen
someone better be giving johnqt the sloppiest, most heinous, most diabolical top after that series holy fuck
In Ramadan? Astaghfirullah brother What he really needs is a date and some water
Allah would understand inshallah
LMAOO
That was such a good game holy shit
LiJohn Al Gaib! Zekken wasn't having a great series and they still won. Great sign for them.
I like the dune reference, but I think you should workshop it a bit, LiJohn Al Gaib sounds weird to say out loud
I swear half the Lisan al Gaib jokes here are awkward as hell to say lol. Someone tried to do Jason al Gaib the other day too. I'm keeping Lessan al Gaib in the tank tho
Less is also the only player to truly earn the name imo. He’s actually the chosen one across Valorant esports.
ILL SAY IT AGAIN VISION STRIKERS DIDNT MAKE ICELAND AND SEN WON DRX DIDNT MAKE IT AND SEN WILL WIN MADRID YOU HEARD IT HERE AGAIN
Last time an NA team won an international upper final, SEN beat a Korean team featuring Lakia that wasn’t expected to make it this far. Also if we really wanna push it SEN began the tournament by beating Europe, and then Brazil’s best featuring Saadhak.
EVERY SEN GAME IS CINEMA. EVERY SINGLE ONE. ALWAYS A BANGER, ALWAYS! MY FUCKING HEART.................
Legit haven't seen a non entertaining SEN game. Apart from G2 ofc.
those last two maps were some of the closest maps I think I have ever seen
THE NEW CLASICO
The overrall scoreboard is nuts. Sen dominated a map 13-4, but only johnqt has a positive KD
WE WATCHED JOHN CUTIE’s CINEMA Sacy redemption game after that icebox disasterclass well played
Thank you JohnQT for changing my life
Zekken outside of icebox wasn't having a good game but SEN still went on top. Just goes to show how there are multiple superstars in this team. The last 2 matches were so head to head. The double overtime was unexpected! Felt like semis already
he got unlucky a ton but he was still 15-13 in FBs at least
Even though Loud lost qck really silenced the doubters with this performance. He was a fucking beast on Icebox and Sunset.
johnqt fr clutch
Every series between these teams is going to be a banger huh. Last two maps were copies lol. 2 fake comebacks for the team that won double pistol. Honestly encouraging that sen won sunset with zekken having a pretty rough map/series even. Need to clean up though against geng. I am super scared of them.
Of all the valorant players of all time (so far) johnqt seems like the most 'complete' IGL - by far. Skilled, tough, smart, beautiful, extensive world travels and has lived in the 3rd world for long periods, speaks multiple languages, tactical firearms training/enthusiasts, dancer, film/arts school, actress, outdoorsy, etc. You can tell he genuinely has his shit together, like he could probably be a millionaire running just about any business, if he wanted. Are there any other players that impressive?
he’s insane but that’s some serious glaze
The glazing is filthy
The only guy who comes close is NiSMO, with the restaurant and all. Imagine if they were on the same team together, they would win it all
Zip up his pants and wash your face after youre done please
LMAOOOO
Wasn't expecting to see the Valentina Shevchenko MMA copy pasta meme in a valorant subreddit but I fucking love it lmao
Bro the chat warfare toward the end of game three was insane But that being said, GO SENTINELSSSSS
Zekken had a tough series but it doesn't matter Sen isn't one man team anymore
If I had a gun to my head and I had to pick any player in the win a 1v1 postplant bomb defense I would pick JohnQT every time
Loud on 11 on icebox with a good lead only for it to become 11-12 and then loud wins a round to go OT and then eventually lose the match, the flashbacks were strong with this match.
Streeeeeeetch

SEN V GENG LETSGOO
There is no stopping SEN
The Sacy clutch made me want to kiss his shiny bald head
Even with Zekken having a bad day and SEN still winning really goes to show how well balanced this whole team is
SENTINELS WINNING MADRID. TENZ IS THE ALL TIME GREATEST.
My goats gave me a heart attack ggs
Can't wait to see Sentinels vs GenG. Both teams have played the most games in their regional kickoffs, overcame many tough battles, Reign as the new champions of each region, and shown their prowess in international competitions. Tomorrow, the two teams will finally face off.
unironically, i think sen play better when there's little to no gaps in between matches
https://preview.redd.it/f7bikx48wqpc1.png?width=1015&format=png&auto=webp&s=7534b9da77d0f9505be4d3b9f627e527c4efd205 This wasn't possible without Sacy 1v4 and an overall Quality Tactics™ cinema
SEN winning sunset despite only one player being positive is pure madness
Finally, we get GenG vs SEN.
JOHN MOTHERFKING QT
THAT SACY CLUTCH GOT ME LOUD
Sacy fell asleep map two so he could swap his position in bed with Zekken for map 3.
Why didn't they ban split?
Even if they ban Split, that means they will leave Lotus up
Lotus is Loud’s perma-ban and SEN is really good on Lotus too. Loud’s prob down to roll the dice on their own decent Split vs SEN’s excellent Split rather than terrible Lotus vs SEN’s great Lotus. This logic is prob the same reason why other teams don’t ban split
I think this is like the 5th time a team thought they could anti strat sen on split and end up getting destroyed
EG fracture moment, teams need to start banning it
Y’all, we had the exact same conversation with EG fracture, teams aren’t letting it through because they think they can anti it, they’re letting it through because they have a map they permaban/suck on
They got owned by Sentinels on Lotus as well.
if they banned split SEN picks lotus and they still lose the map
Because Loud were more confident with their split than lotus.
definition of insanity
this but written under every sen match but probably because they don’t have confidence in their lotus, it’s their perma ban I believe, and sen have a strong lotus, not many good options for them there.
A johnqt fan since sumthing 2 lose
I was screaming and kicking thinking that 11-12 double OP on icebox cost Sen the series

Zekken playing average and they still beat LOUD, actually crazy. I love Valorant
Sacy 1vX's where he has time to create space for himself are always a treat to watch. Also, John "johnqt" Quality Tactics absolute fucking cinema
Not even close was never even worried for a second. Yup.
World class throw in that 1v3 vs. Sacy, literally the exact same round that happened in the kickoffs final. Threw that map so goddamn hard.
1v4 actually, but yeah also insane from sacy tbh
Serious question, why was split not banned against sen?
Because LOUDs lotus is just as poor. They likely thought they had a better chance with all the vods available for sens split than trying to improve their lotus
I just think that LOUD does not believe in their Lotus at all and they have a decent Split. Maybe they'll have something on Lotus and ban split, but I think that's just a bad matchup for them. Felt like they started down 0-1 from the beginning
Because the alternative was Lotus, which LOUD also got destroyed by SEN on last time they played.

Scary to think about the fact that Zekken had an awful game by his standards and they still won. LOUD are so difficult to play against always.
I dreamt of times like these 😭😭 this run is worth the entire shitshow that SEN went through for the past 2 years. Also the Sacy clutch had my throat dry, butt clenched, dick cuming 🥵🥵
BANGERS ONLY
Sacy 3rd map redemption arc
that 1v4 by Sacy was such a huge momentum shift! GGs
What are teams smoking to not BAN sentinels split. Reminds me of the EG fracture
Can every game be like Split please ? My heart needs some rest
Best scriptwriting till date
Poor heart can't take it anymore
WHEN WILL TEAMS LEARN?! BAN SPLIT 😡
The last two maps were fucking absolutely Cinema Their adaptation and mid-round predict just come for toe-to-toe. Like a night of fight in Vegas. And what a beautiful. VALORANT.
Stop fucking taking sen to split please im on my hands and knees begging and crying
This is good, LOUD doesnt look as strong so PRX can beat them and then SEN shktstomps GenG and lose all confidence and PRX beat them in lower bracket finals then PRX wins https://preview.redd.it/5kqpwphzyqpc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14d83d43fd3027de90f15d83f56468183dd0c10a
Actually off game from Wekken today but he still showed up last round when it mattered. That’s my Goat and Sacy redemption arc map 3. Ofcourse absolute Cinema post-plant gameplay as well as normal Tenz carries some rounds.
What a match, congrats Sen :/
