Sinatraa’s return to competitive VALORANT
After retiring from pro Overwatch in 2020, Won moved onto VALORANT, Riot Games’ recently released competitive shooter game. In April of that year, he was signed to the Sentinels VALORANT team.
Soon, his amazing run in competitive esports was cut down due to these allegations. However, it has been a year and Sinatraa has just Tweeted that he is ready to come back. “It’s been a year since I was forced to step back from competitive play. In that time, I have learned a lot about myself and grown as a person. I am now ready for a return to competitive play and will be starting tryouts this week.” Tweeted Sinatraa.
