Sentinels’ Valorant cosmetics mocked as “the worst” by fans
Colin Young-Wolff/Riot GamesRiot Games and every team in the VCT Pacific, Americas, and EMEA have revealed in-game cosmetics that fans can purchase to support their favorite squad. Fans have set their sights on Sentinels, who seem to have one of the worst designs compared to everyone else.
In-game cosmetics for teams in the VCT international leagues have finally been released. Teams across VCT Americas, EMEA, and Pacific have announced their custom Valorant Player Card, Classic skin, and other cosmetics on social media.
Esports organizations also profit from the VCT team capsules as Riot splits the revenue from the in-game sale with its league partners.
While Riot Games took the reigns on some of the design aspects, the teams were able to give input for the cosmetic bundle’s Player Card and added some spice or team history to it. Fans have already decided which team “cooked” the best with their design, and some are mocking Sentinels for not living up to expectations.
Valorant fans call out Sentinels cosmetics
Some VCT teams went all out on their Player Card designs, crafting designs around their mascot or highlighting fans. However, some also crafted similar designs around the silhouettes of five Valorant players in the distance.
Sentinels’ Player Card highlights the organization’s brand and, as some fans have pointed out, seems to be pulled from the org’s Computer background design.
“Sadly you have the worst card and skin out of every team, how does the most popular team have the worst set?” One fan said in reply to Sentinels announcing its bundle.
sadly you have the worst card and skin out of every team, how does the most popular team have the worst set 😭😭

In a Reddit post discussing every team’s Player Card, fans also said Sentinels’ cosmetic was “so mid.”
“Sens card is one of the worst ones which is super lame,” one Reddit user said.
Whether the Player Card’s underwhelming design impacts Sentinels’ profits from the VCT capsule remains to be seen. Fans will still get other cosmetics in the bundle, including a Classic skin with the Sentinels logo on it, which should also drive sales.
