Sentinels releases cortezia and Reduxx as offseason overhaul continues

Sentinels has announced the departures of cortezia and Reduxx, ending both players’ first seasons with its main VALORANT roster.

The releases continue an extensive rebuild following a campaign without an international appearance.

Difficult season precedes departures

Sentinels finished ninth–tenth at Americas Kickoff and Stage 1, followed by an 11th–12th finish at Stage 2.

cortezia joined after representing MIBR in 2025 and handled Sentinel duties. Reduxx progressed through the organization’s academy system before taking on Controller and secondary Duelist responsibilities with the main team.

Following his release, cortezia said the decision came from the organization and that he had wanted to remain for another season.

New core takes shape

Sentinels has already added OXY, brawk and canezerra, while retaining johnqt and bringing Zellsis back as a sixth player.

The announced structure therefore still leaves the team’s complete starting five unresolved.

Sentinels is scheduled to appear at Red Bull Home Ground next month, providing an early opportunity to assess its rebuilt lineup before the 2027 VCT season.
