FaZe ClanHunter "SicK" Mims will be taking an extended leave of absence to attend to an on-going family matter. SicK has our full support during this difficult time.
Coach Rawkus will fill in for the remainder of Challengers.

This announcement will be a tough pill to swallow for the former world champions as they are currently winless in their group after three weeks of play. Sentinels have also recently subbed in Rawkus and Dani “Dani” Hashweh for SicK and Tyson “TenZ” Ngo in their week three matchup against OptiC Gaming which ended in a 0-2 defeat.
The team’s last two matchups in Stage 2 Challengers North America Group Stage are against FaZe Clan and Cloud9. With the loss of SicK for the remainder of the group stage, Sentinels might be looking to compete either at this year’s Last Chance Qualifiers or the 2023 VCT season.
For the final two matchups against FaZe Clan and Cloud9, Sentinels will field:
- Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan
- Michael “dapr” Gulino
- Shane “Rawkus” Flaherty
- Tyson “TenZ’ Ngo
- Eric “Kanpeki” Xu
