assistant coach Drew "DrewSpark"
Spark-Whitworth has announced that he is a free agent and looking for a new team.
"I was informed yesterday that I will not be included in plans for 2025," DrewSpark said. "I want to thank Sentinels for trusting me to help lead SEN to new heights the team for being an absolute blast to work with over the last two years, and the fans for their relentless support!"
DrewSpark first joined Sentinels as an analyst following the 2022 season, but was soon promoted to assistant coach following the dismissal of then-head coach SyykoNT . The organization had a disappointing 2023 season that saw them finish 7th in the 2023 Americas League and miss out on playoffs.
That form would continue at the Americas Last Chance Qualifier, where they were eliminated in the lower bracket after posting a 1-2 record.
With the same coaching staff from the year before and a mostly-retained roster, Sentinels would enjoy a better 2024 season. They retained their core roster, and signed former player Zellsis and added johnqt as their in-game leader.
They finished as the Americas Kickoff champions, defeating El Clásico counterparts

in the grand final, helped write a storybook finish for the team. It was their first international trophy since Masters Reykjavik in 2021.
However, a fourth-place finish in Group Alpha at Americas Stage 1 meant the Masters champions would not qualify for Masters Shanghai. Their shaky form continued through stage 2, but they would qualify for Champions Seoul through champions points, claiming the Americas region's fourth spot in the tournament.
In the time between Stage 2 and Champions, Sentinels seemed to figure out what had gone wrong as of late. They survived the 'group of death' by eliminating defending Masters champions Gen.G, and would eventually finish fourth after a strong run in the playoffs.
"After a successful 2024, I am more motivated than ever to return to work and achieve more," DrewSpark said. "I am open to opportunities in all regions."
"A Sentinels legend," Sentinels said in a response to DrewSpark's announcement. "You helped take us further than we've ever been. Gonna miss seeing that badass kilt on stage."
