Zombs was benched by the Sentinels organization because the Valorant squad failed to replicate its previous success after a series of disappointing setbacks.
Zombs' Initial Impact with Sentinels
Zombs was a pioneer member of the Sentinels Valorant squad, which became widely recognized for its exceptional performance. Under his tenure, the team achieved international stardom, establishing itself as a dominant force in the professional Valorant circuit.
Reasons for the Bench Decision
Despite their earlier triumphs, the Sentinels team, including Zombs, began to experience a decline in performance. They struggled to maintain their former competitive edge and were unable to replicate their past successes. This period was marked by a series of disappointing setbacks that led the organization to make changes to its roster. Consequently, Zombs was benched by Sentinels earlier in 2022 (relative to the end of that year) as part of the team's efforts to address these performance issues and seek a return to form.
Post-Benching Transition
Following his benching from the Sentinels active roster, Zombs eventually made the decision to quit the professional Valorant circuit.
