Sentinels CEO disputes ShahZaM\u2019s claim of being \u201cleft in the dark\u201d over Valorant roster Riot GamesSentinels star player Shahzeb \u2018ShahZaM\u2019 Khan claimed that he learned he was dropped from the organization\u2019s Valorant team live on stream, but the CEO of the team has a different account of the situation. After news broke on October 5 that Sentinels IGL ShahZaM was set to be replaced by his former Complexity CS:GO teammate Dephh, a clip emerged of the star player reacting to the info live on his stream. He initially claimed that \u201cI just found out with you\u201d when speaking to his audience, Sentinels lead man Rob Moore has now clarified that the situation wasn\u2019t so cut-and-dry, and that Khan knew beforehand that his place on the team wasn\u2019t exactly solidified ahead of his expiring contract. Sentinels CEO explains \u201cunfortunate timing\u201d of roster leak and ShahZaM being dropped Moore started off by saying that he and the team\u2019s leader of three years spoke back on September 21 about how the team\u2019s roster was still up in the air ahead of franchising. \u201cI want to clarify the situation with ShahZaM. On 9\/21 I reminded him he did not have a contract for next season, we were most likely bringing in new coaches, they would decide the new roster and he was free to contact other teams,\u201d he explained. He further went on to say that Khan did talk with the new coaches and that no offer was extended. While the team was in the process of securing new members, it was simply the fault of an untimely leak that things worked out in the the manner they did. When referring to the information going public, Moore simply said \u201cthat was not an announcement from the team, the timing was unfortunate but certainly not a surprise.\u201d ShahZam himself acknowledged that he and Moore were now talking about the situation privately and that \u201cthe timing of the leak, along with being in the dark, created the emotional response you saw on stream.\u201d While he won\u2019t be donning the red-and-black of SEN next season, the multi-game pro is already looking to find a new team to compete for as the world of Valorant esports prepares for a massive change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
