Sentinels confirmed the rumors and welcomed Eric “Kanpeki” Xu to their active VALORANT roster for the upcoming VALORANT Championship Tour Stage 2: Challengers North America. Kanpeki will take the spot of Jacob “zombs” Gitlin in the team.

According to the feature that Sentinels made for Kanpeki's acquisition, it seems he will be mostly playing the Initiator role. Tyson “TenZ” Ngo and other active members of the SEN roster mentioned that SEN's new blood has experience playing KAY/O in professional games and that he has “hidden tech” on the agent. Definitely something to look forward to when this new version of Sentinels take the stage.

Kanpeki was ushered onto the spotlight during his half year stint with the team Akrew, wherein Kanpeki and the Akrew squad placed high in multiple tournaments.

zombs will remain a member of SEN, albeit inactive.
