The Sentinels esports team has created a bigger headline on social media—they are set to fly in to Toronto, and the internet this time is going wild. The team set the internet ablaze in a few minutes just with a small Twitter message “we are officially headed for Toronto 🛫🇨🇦,” with far-reaching responses from all the athletes and fans, giving well wishes and being totally hyped.
Why so much hype? Well, the Sentinels are just one of the biggest competitive gaming brands- especially with games like VALORANT– in the very name. The lineups are just about some of the best players the scene has had, so I deem it a huge deal any time they travel for anything. But Toronto? There must be something gigantiaggle: player meetings, maybe a tourney, or a jolly-good secret content creation site.
The responses were the perfect array of wholesome to chaotic to hilarious. One, @rosiesjune, with a burst of all-caps excitement, cried, “WHY IS THIS SO CUUUTEEEE.” @_keyesel took that moment to wish the team a happy Pride Month while sending them heart emojis in spades. The energy was immaculate.
Well-wishes for the trip kept on coming. From the simple “have a safe trip!!!” from @uleumzkn to an almost heartfelt, “Safe travels 🙏💕🥳,” thanks MamaZekken! The fanbase is fully there for good reckoning. Some of the fans are actually headed to the event location: one of these players from Chile is about to meet the water! Now that is some punchy commitment!
And really, what chaos is complete without a little chaotic fun? @profQT gave us the relatable, bizarre geek: “I think if I ran into the entire SEN roster on a flight I would probably panic, start flirting with Zellsis and then explode.” Mood. Absolute mood.
The hype just keeps coming. The local hype to have the team in their city was stirred up when @kermykai tweeted “sen in my city wowie,” with @areumdreams joining in, “see yall in my city !!” So, basically, the energy buildup is real, and it’s only going to be stronger leads-up to whichever fellow they’re going for, or whatever.
For now, the trip’s purpose may still be cloaked in mystery, but one thing is extremely certain- Sentinels sure do get people talking. Whether it is for a big tournament announcement or some content drop or just a casual visit, it’s already sending shockwaves about them being in Toronto. And if people reacting are a good indicator, what they have planned will be a thousand times next-level cool.
Hold on to your joysticks, gamers; if this is what the tweets look like now, imagine all the madness to come forth once the Sentinels lands in Toronto. The hype train will never go back to the station.
