It’s not even out of beta but and Valorant is tempting execs from different games into its ranks. San Francisco Shock’s star participant, Jay “Sinatraa” Won, is the primary Overwatch League participant to be making the swap, becoming a member of up with the Sentinels’ new aggressive Valorant group. Sinatraa introduced his retirement from Overwatch yesterday, saying he “straight up just lost passion for the game”.
“Idk what the real killer was for me but maybe it was 2-2-2 lock, maybe it was bans I’m not sure… I just know it was hard for me to log on to play and I didn’t have fun in scrims/ranked at all anymore.”
These are all honest causes. While Overwatch launched issues like function locks and hero bans to attempt to enhance on stale metas (remember GOATS?), I can see how these restrictions maintain loads of professional gamers again.
Still, there’s little doubt Sinatraa will probably be missed by his group and followers alike. After all, he was voted MVP of final yr’s Overwatch League season, leading San Francisco Shock to victory in the Grand Finals. It’s a little bit of a bizarre time for him to announce his departure although, as a result of he’s nearly to get a particular MVP pores and skin in Overwatch to commemorate the 2019 season. I respect it although, he’s left his mark, it’s time to maneuver on.
His new Sentinels Valorant team to date consists of former Counter-Strike execs Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan and Hunter “SicK” Mims, and Jared “Zombs” Gitlin from the Sentinels Apex Legends group. They’re on the look-out now for his or her fifth and ultimate member to fill the squad – I’d nominate Matt, he seems pretty good Valorant.
Valorant doesn’t even have a ranked mode simply but for these execs to point out off their abilities. But in line with the game’s most recent patch notes, ranked matchmaking and a aggressive mode will go dwell “in the near future”.
