Fans following the team on social media platforms know that Sentinels recently went through a roster shift. With the legendary CS: GO veteran and streamer Shroud joining the roster, the team's meta has shifted quite a bit.

Following these events, Sentinels still put up a great fight against the likes of The Guard, where they pushed their opponents to their limits. TenZ, the team's star player, also performed pretty well, according to fans.

Now that Sentinels are no longer competing in the VCT 2022 NA LCQs, here is how streamers reacted during their final moments in the tournament against the 100 Thieves. Most cover how they feel about the team's elimination from the event.

With Sentinels going 11-12 on the final map of the series, they had the plant down with three members of the 100 Thieves flanking them in A-lobby on Haven. To this, sinatara was hoping his team would make a play and reacted:

"Triple flank, bro please c'mon!"

Soon the tables turned as Asuna from 100T took out TenZ and Shroud while ShahZam and dapr also got shut down. sinatraa had no words for this as he just cried:

"No no, no no....no"

With the match coming to an end, he added:

"How did that just happen, bro? What just happened?"

As the casters were announcing Sentinels' elimination from the VCT 2022 NA LCQ, sinatraa said:

"It should not have ended like that."

Anyone who closely follows Valorant's professional scene will know the name tarik. He is a retired CS: GO veteran who now only streams and plays Valorant. His concurrent views are greater than VCT's official channels while streaming.

He had some good analysis regarding the Sentinels and 100 Thieves match-up. At first, he commented on the team's fighting style:

"They didn't fight anything together, either, right? Everyone just went for their ones."

He then spoke about the competition overall:

"It sucks that it ended that way, but I think the comeback was kinda sick, but they're out, that's it!"

He eventually returned to praising Sentinels by judging their situation at the event:

"All things considered, I feel like they played pretty well, right? They pushed Guard, who look insane right now, to their limits. They beat SR, and now this. They definitely delivered."

Kyedae's reaction

Kyadae is a streamer and content creator currently signed by 100 Thieves. She is also in a relationship with the star player of Sentinels, TenZ. This puts a lot of pressure on her shoulders as her viewers expect her to support both teams.

With the final round coming to a close, Kyedae looked at the chat and said:

"Oh my god."

By the time every member of Sentinels was eliminated as 100 Thieves were ready to defuse the spike, she added:

"Oh no."

With the hosts announcing the team's unfortunate demise, she just gasped:

"GG."

Most streamers like Kyedae did not have much to add to this event, as it was unfortunate. Sentinels can still look for strong ground to stand on with all the changes they have been through.

With Shroud's entry to the roster, the team looks much better than before.
