How Sentinels Overcame the Broke Allegations with a $3 Million Investment

Sentinels was recently accused of being “broke” after a member of the community pointed out the team’s lack of sponsors and merchandise sales. The accusations were followed by rumors of internal struggles within the organization. However, the team’s ownership group, Volerant, invested $3 million to silence the doubters. In addition to reduced player spending, Sentinels has also released its first set of VALORANT team skins. In this blog post, we will explore how Sentinels overcame the broke allegations with a $3 million investment and what it means for the future of the team.

Sentinels has come out on top despite the accusations of being broke. The team’s ownership group, Volerant, invested $3 million to help silence the doubters and reduce the negative buzz surrounding the organization. By cutting player spending and releasing VALORANT team skins, Sentinels has taken steps towards showing financial stability.

The first step Sentinels took to address the broke allegations was to reduce player spending. The team was already successful on the competitive scene, winning the North American VALORANT championship and reaching the grand finals of the VCT Masters Reykjavik. However, these achievements came at a cost— Sentinels reportedly paid their players larger salaries than other teams. By cutting player spending, the organization aimed to reduce the negative buzz surrounding them.

Sentinels has also released its first set of VALORANT team skins, with the profits being split evenly between the team and Riot Games. The skins feature the team’s logo and signature color scheme and can be purchased in the game’s store. This move represents a step forward for Sentinels in terms of merchandise sales. Prior to this, the team’s only merchandise offerings were a few t-shirts and hoodies on their website.
