Sentinels signs canezerra, brings back Zellsis as substitute and is linked with Keiko

Sentinels has continued its VALORANT rebuild by signing alex “canezerra” Banyasz and bringing Jordan “ Zellsis ” Montemurro back as a substitute.

Separately, Sheep Esports reports that Georgio “ Keiko ” Sanassy is expected to complete The Team ’s starting lineup. That proposed signing has not been officially announced.

Canezerra receives his VCT opportunity

Canezerra joins after developing through RANKERS and ENVY , with the latter winning Americas Ascension.

His path to the top level WaS interrupted by a Riot suspension earlier in 2026. VLR reports that Riot subsequently lifted the ban , allowing Sentinels to sign him ahead of the new season.

He joins fellow offseason arrivals OXY and brawk , alongside returning in-game leader johnqt .

Zellsis returns in a reserve role

Zellsis rejoins Sentinels after spending 2026 with Cloud9 , where he took on in-game leadership duties.

This is another return to an organisation he previously helped win Masters Madrid. His new appointment is explicitly as a substitute; it does not establish him as a member of the starting five.

Sentinels has also renewed johnqt , retaining an experienced leader through its wider rebuild.

Keiko remains a reported addition

According to Sheep Esports, Keiko would join after spending 2026 with NRG and reunite with former teammate brawk .

The report projects a lineup of canezerra, OXY , brawk , johnqt and Keiko , with Keiko handling controller duties.

That five-player configuration remains a reported plan until Sentinels confirms the FINAL signing.
