KRÜ Esports vs Sentinels Preview & Predictions – VCT 2023 Americas League

The seventh week of the VCT 2023 Americas League brings forth the eagerly awaited KRÜ Esports vs Sentinels matchup

The two teams haven’t faced each other since the VCT 2021 Champions encounter, where KRÜ got the better of the Men-in-Red after a fiercely competitive BO3. Sentinels now have a golden opportunity to capitalize on KRÜ's current poor form and avenge that loss. With this preview, you can rest assured that you won't miss out on any details and can savor the upcoming showdown to the fullest.

KRÜ Esports

KRÜ Esports are one of the two teams across the three regional franchise leagues to remain winless.  Not only are they losing, but the manner of their losses is particularly disheartening, as exemplified by last week’s match against Leviatán, where the LATAM giants won 8 rounds over two maps. However, with the Chileans now going up against another struggling team from the bottom of the standings, who are also arguably the most popular Valorant org in the world, the stage could not be set up any better for their first win of the league stage.

Sentinels

As unfortunate as it sounds, Sentinels have had more roster updates than wins during the VCT Americas league stage. The latest being the replacement of the IGL dephh with Tenz. With a record of 2-5, the former best team in the world has a monumental task ahead of them to qualify for the next stage. The Valorant community is left wondering how a lineup armed with such a formidable combination of experience and firepower has allowed their situation to deteriorate to this extent.
