Sentinels, the esports organization, has hinted at the possibility of signing Cody Schwab, a renowned player in the Smash Melee community. The CEO, Rob Moore, has made it clear that Schwab’s signing is contingent upon the success of Sentinels’ professional VALORANT team in an upcoming tournament.
In a recent tweet, Moore stated that if Sentinels’ star VALORANT player, zekken, wins the Sentinels Invitational, he would sign Schwab. This announcement comes shortly after Moore revealed that the organization’s ownership group has invested an additional $3.4 million to enhance their existing divisions and expand into other esports sectors.
Schwab, who was previously contracted with Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), has been a free agent since the acquisition of CLG by NRG Esports earlier this year. The Smash Melee scene does not receive as much attention as games like VALORANT, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike, making it challenging for top players to find opportunities with major esports organizations.
If Sentinels were to sign Schwab, it would not only provide a significant boost to the Smash Melee esports community but also offer the talented player a platform to further his career and continue entertaining fans with his gameplay and content creation.
While the conversations on social media between Schwab, zekken, and Moore have sparked excitement among fans, it is important to note that no official confirmation has been made regarding Schwab’s potential signing. Therefore, it is advisable to approach these discussions with caution until further updates are provided.
