Zekken’s VALORANT career saw a meteoric rise when he joined XSET back in June 2021 as they consistently hovered as one of the top 4 teams within North America. With XSET, Zekken made it to multiple LANs this year (Masters Copenhagen 2022 and Champions 2022) as they became the second-seeded team multiple times behind OpTic Gaming,
The move to get Zekken was made possible after XSET’s players became free agents in order to look for a Riot-partnered organization to play in the regional leagues.
With him finally in Sentinels, Zekken reunites with his former XSET coach Don “SyykoNT” Muir, who joined Sentinels earlier this week (alongside former Ghostbusters coach Adam “kaplan” Kaplan) as the new head coach, to form the new core of the Sentinels roster.
