Sentinels announce Wild Rift squad, set to hold open trials

One of the most successful first and third-person shooter orgs will make its debut on a MOBA.
Sentinels announce Wild Rift squad, set to hold open trials

Sentinels has surprised fans by announcing that the org will dwell into the MOBA genre by assembling a professional League of Legends: Wild Rift team, the mobile version of Riot's PC title.

The statement made via social media points that this new roster is coming together thanks to a direct partnership with Riot Games, who is seemingly interested in building an entirely different esports scene for Wild Rift, separate from the one already established with League of Legends.

With Riot Games recently unveiling North America's Wild Rift Summoner Series, with other notable organizations such as Cloud9 already establishing themselves amongst the first to present a roster for the mobile MOBA, Sentinels will look to make a splash as they return to an old arena with a brand-new name.

It's worth pointing out that before being rebranded into Sentinels, the org formerly known as Phoenix1 competed in the LCS with very lukewarm results, leaving behind their MOBA roots to become a powerhouse in FPS and Battle Royales.

Now, the Los Angeles based organization is widely known in the world of Fortnite, Valorant, Halo, and Apex Legends being the home of Fortnite World Cup Champion  Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf and the most dominant Valorant squad in the world, which recently won the first LAN event in the game's history.
