Sentinels

Adding Marved to the roster has brought new energy to the team allowing every player to return to his original role. The razor-close series against LOUD on week 3 left many fans on the edge of their seats. However, it was last week’s dominant win over MIBR that served as a resounding statement to the critics of the team that was once considered the best in the world.
