The match, which took place on October 26, drew significant attention from fans due to the high-profile teams involved.
In the first map, Sunset, Sentinels initially appeared disorganized on defense but displayed a strong offense, winning 13 out of 24 rounds and turning the tide in their favor.

The second map, Bind, further highlighted Sentinels’ prowess, particularly with TenZ playing Yoru. Despite losing both pistol rounds, Sentinels dominated the map with a 13-7 score, proving that TenZ’s choice of agent was not only effective but also viable against formidable opponents like G2.
Although G2 managed to secure a 13-7 victory on the third map, Ascent, it was not enough to overshadow Sentinels’ overall triumph. This preseason showmatch marked G2’s first official match as a full team, with the addition of leaf as their fifth player. While G2’s debut with their new roster ended in defeat, it is important to note that this match carried the caveat of being a preseason event.
Sentinels took advantage of their victory to taunt their opponents, making references to G2’s former owner and celebrating their win with gusto.
