Sentinels League of Legends LCS Team
After a strategic revelation on X (formerly Twitter), Sentinels introduced their lineup for the 2026 LCS season, showcasing a mix of talent and experience. The roster features Joeng ‘Impact’ Eon-young in the Top Lane, Ham ‘HamBak’ Yoo-jin in the Jungle, Isaac ‘DARKWINGS’ Chou commanding the Mid Lane, Cho ‘Rahel’ Min-seong as the Bot Laner, and Choi ‘huhi’ Jae-hyun taking on the Support role.
Goldenglue Explains His Picks For Sentinels League of Legends Team
Goldenglue, a veteran in the esports scene, brings years of experience as both a player and a coach. His mission was to assemble a team that synergizes well together. His vision was clear: combine the raw talent of rookies with the wisdom of seasoned players to form a formidable squad. Goldenglue believes this fusion will enable Sentinels to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
Starting with Rahel, regarded as a consistent threat, Goldenglue centered his team-building efforts around him. Next, he enlisted huhi, a strategic leader whose familiarity with the league provides an edge. The inclusion of DARKWINGS, a rising star from the NA Academy, adds further potential, especially with Goldenglue’s guidance in the midlane.
Impact, the legendary top laner, was a crucial addition. Despite initial uncertainty about his availability, Impact’s eagerness to join and win was pivotal. The final piece of the puzzle was HamBak, whose ‘cracked’ skills, as described by Goldenglue, promise to shine within the team dynamic. Goldenglue’s strategy focused on gathering players who are not just skilled individually but are also excited to collaborate and succeed together.
While language differences present a minor challenge, efforts are underway to bridge gaps with English lessons, and communication is facilitated by bilingual players Impact and Huhi. Fans are eagerly awaiting the LCS start in late January, with Sentinels poised to be a team to watch, despite some speculation about the team’s regional composition.
