Oxygen Esports sign former Sentinels player Dapr

In a strategic move strengthening their competitive position, North American esports organization Oxygen Esports has officially acquired Michael “dapr” Gulino, previously of Sentinels fame, for their Valorant competitive lineup. This acquisition represents a significant upgrade to their firepower heading into the 2024 season.

The addition of dapr finalizes Oxygen’s starting five configuration, prompting organizational adjustments that see Rustun Lusk transitioning back to his previous position as assistant coach. This coaching realignment optimizes staff utilization around the new roster composition.

Uncertainty surrounds head coach Malkolm “bonkar” Rench’s continued involvement with the squad for upcoming Challengers competitions. Sources indicate European organizations have expressed strong interest in securing his services during the current offseason period.

Oxygen Esports Secures Proven International Champion

Michael “dapr” Gulino established his competitive reputation during his tenure with Sentinels, where he demonstrated exceptional performance on global stages while maintaining domestic dominance throughout North American competitions.

His contributions proved instrumental to Sentinels’ championship campaign at VCT Masters Stage 2 in Reykjavík, Iceland. The 2021 tournament culminated with Sentinels decisively defeating Fnatic in a commanding 3-0 grand finals victory that showcased tactical superiority.

Despite an otherwise impressive competitive year, Sentinels underperformed at the Champions event, ultimately placing within the top twelve following consecutive losses to Team Liquid in Group B’s upper bracket and subsequent elimination by KRÜ Esports.

Following his Sentinels chapter, dapr transitioned to G2 Esports, commencing the Challengers season with strong early performances. Although securing second position during the initial split, G2 struggled to maintain consistency and couldn’t reproduce similar results in the second competitive phase.

G2’s playoff aspirations concluded after defeats by Oxygen Esports and The Guard during the Challengers league postseason, effectively terminating their championship pursuit.

Oxygen Esports prepares to contest the Challengers league next season, joining established organizations including M80 and the newly-formed Shopify x Moist collaboration, which combined resources to assemble a fresh competitive roster.

The organization also enters competition in the Knights Forge tournament commencing today, providing immediate testing grounds for their newly configured lineup against quality opposition.

The Challengers ecosystem continues evolving as organizations strategically position themselves for potential inclusion in top-tier Valorant competition. Understanding roster construction strategies becomes crucial for teams aiming to compete at the highest levels, much like mastering effective class selection in tactical shooters.

For aspiring competitive players, analyzing championship rosters like dapr’s Sentinels lineup provides valuable insights into team composition principles that translate across different tactical games.
