Sentinels have announced that they will be departing the competitive Fortnite scene with the move set to leave one of the game’s top players, Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, without a team.<\/p>\n

It is rare to see an esports franchise willingly part ways with a top player in a popular title, but this is the current state of the industry. The esports industry has proven over time to be a volatile one, and teams sometimes have to make tough decisions, such as letting go of a world champion, as was the case with Sentinels and their Fortnite player, Bugha.<\/p>\n

Rob Moore, the Chief Executive Officer of Sentinels said they will no longer be participating in competitive Fortnite. He also stated that none of their Fortnite players, including Nick “Aspect” McGuire, Brian “Zyfa” Wielgolaski and Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, the 2019 Fortnite World Cup solos champion, will be re-signed for the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

We will therefore not be resigning Bugha, Aspect or Zyfa. We thank our players , especially Kyle \u201cBugha\u201dGiersdorf , who brought home the Sentinels first major championship with his win in the 2019 World Cup.<\/p>\n
