They have already begun replacement trials.

Multiple top organizations have already expressed interest, with sources indicating that 100 Thieves and G2 Esports are among the frontrunners for his signature. “Wherever I land, I’m committed to bringing the same passion and work ethic that defined my time with Sentinels,” Zellsis assured fans. The move should finalize before the November 15 roster lock deadline for the 2025 VCT Kickoff Tournament.
