Drama never really fell short in the VALORANT esports world; the ongoing Twitter fight between Sentinels and G2 VALORANT has certainly piqued the interest of the community. It started with a G2 VALORANT tweet that seemed rather innocuous: “Sentinels owners have arrived,” alongside a photo. Most likely, it was referencing some event or matchup. If only the replies could snap back to normalcy.
But, for the uninitiated: Sentinels were considered pretty much the most iconic team in the game, frowned upon for dominating during the very early days of the competitive scene. G2, on the other hand, did very well but would never win a coveted international trophy. And with that, the insults began.
One said, “Worry about owning an int. trophy first,” with another one saying, “I think the focus should be getting a trophy first 😂🤣😂.” That was a serious burn, as that original tweet was being dragged, citing it for “not aging well” after it looked like G2 had gotten a really bad loss recently.
Then there’s that rent-free issue. Host of replies claimed that G2 was fixated on Sentinels, with one responding, “The way you bring up Sen every day, they’re living rent free in your heads aren’t they😭🤣.” Another stated, “Glazing the team you’re about to get owned by is crazy,” saying G2 hyped Sentinels just before they were thrashed.
Ah, but that was just the beginning. Fnatic, another dominant team, was brought up, and another reply said, “Yeah, Fnatic own NA buddy.” Then went one of the most absurd detours into Toronto travel logistics, “What’s the fastest route to go from Enercare Arena, Toronto to Toronto Airport?” followed by a full-blown travel guide. Classic chaos!
The funniest thing? All the trophy jabs. Several replies roasted G2 for lacking an international title of any sort: “One of them is trophyless. Guess who!? 🤣” and “Oh no… anyways 🏆🏆.” Also, a few Sentinels basher replies: “At least SEN won a map against their killers in Toronto unlike the Lotus fluke farmers 😝.”
At the end of all of that hangs all esports banter, so entertaining and ruthless at the same time. So what must be taken for certain from G2 mocking Sentinels to the endless counter-gags from the players is this: When it comes to drama, the VALORANT Twitter never goes out of style.
What’s happening next? You guessed it: more trash-talking and memes, trooping with trophy lifts for the haters to just shut up about. Meanwhile, our timeline refreshing will continue in catching the next spicy exchange.
