Big news in esports today as one of the most historically notable competitive gaming organizations split with its longtime roster. The tweet captioned merely with “SEN CITY welcomes new legends” created a frenzy-as comments kept pouring in from players, orgs, and fans alike. Honestly? The hype has every right to exist.
Firstly, the vibe in the replies went wild in full force. From pros such as NiceWigg saying, “Unbelievably massive W pickup,” to many yelling, “YESSS,” (Esports World Cup’s official account gets a shoutout) everyone just went absolutely bananas over this move. Even famous caster Raynday chimed in with, “Welcome back, fam! We missed you.” So yeah, this isn’t just some roster shuffle—it’s a statement.
There are some really good ones in there. Half of them are joyful: Wiching said, “I’m happy for you guys 🙏 welcome back ❤️,” but others like AbdulSaudade are cautiously hopeful: “please don’t neglect this roster like the last one 🙏🏾.” Some of them just shade-walking, like Neckray, “Waiting for the ‘Thank you’ post once EWC is over 💀.” Classic.
The French replies heated up, going on about the roster-building strategy and how orgs only care for short-term results instead of long-term growth. One user, kcamui, even joked about being replaced by “slabs” (whatever that means), while the other lamented the inconsistency of their team’s performance. This one is an entire debate, and honestly? That is refreshing to see fans care to this extent.
Then there’s that Apex Legends flavor—some of the fans are still desperately hoping that KC Zhidan would join Sentinels, with one user commenting, “Selly on va attendre encore longtemps avant d’avoir une once d’espoir d’avoir KC Zhidan chez nous.. (j’en pleure aussi ceci-dit).” The rough translation: They’re crying over the possibility of KC Zhidan joining SEN. Mood.
But what is clear? Sentinels is back, and they aren’t here to have fun. If this new roster will step up and live to the mountains of hype is yet to be seen, but by all certainty, the scene just grew fertile fodder for probing. With fans speculating about every single future move (very passionate French debates to the side), this is nothing but the genesis.
So fasten your seat belts because the gates of SEN CITY have been thrown open, and it will be one fantastic ride.
