Sentinels have joined the Game Changers circuit in collaboration with Blue Otters GC, now competing as Sen Otters.

Sentinels have officially announced their entry into the Game Changers circuit for the 2026 season. The organization will support Blue Otters, who will compete under the name Sen Otters while retaining their current roster. This marks the second North American organization to reveal its Game Changers plans in less than a week, following Evil Geniuses.

Sentinels have entered the Game Changers circuit for the first time as an organization, officially announcing a collaboration with Blue Otters, who began competing in the circuit in 2025. Rob Moore, Sentinels’ CEO, expressed his excitement about the decision, revealing plans to support the team while preserving its identity.

“It is exciting to see the growth of the Game Changers VALORANT competitive ecosystem right now, and Blue Otter’s roster has been putting up results that speak for themselves,” he wrote on X. “A Kickoff grand final and a solid record tells you all you need to know about the level this team is playing at. We wanted to get behind them with real support, resources, and a shared identity.”

The rebrand only applies across competition, social media, and all public-facing channels for the duration of this collaboration. Both organizations will also be teaming up on a merchandise line and other products available for the fans. Blue Otter will retain their current roster, consisting of:

When will the team compete?

Sen Otters will compete on the Game Changers 2026: North America Stage 1. Their first challenge will be Teevee on April 16. After narrowly missing out on the North America Kickoff title with a Grand Finals loss to FlyQuest RED, the team has vowed to come back stronger and contend for the trophy once again.

You can watch all the matches on the official VALORANT Champions Tour Americas YouTube and Twitch channels.

With Sentinels joining the circuit, the Game Changers scene now welcomes its second North American organization, following Evil Geniuses’ return. Unlike Sen Otters, however, EG will compete in the Brazilian region. On the other side, earlier this month, 100 Thieves announced a hiatus from Game Changers.
