The company currently fields teams in Valorant, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and Halo.
History
Phoenix1 was founded in May 2016 as a League of Legends team to compete in the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS). After the NA LCS became a franchised league, Phoenix1 sold its LCS spot. Following, Phoenix1 partnered with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) to launch their Overwatch League franchised team Los Angeles Gladiators for the video game Overwatch. After successfully launching the Overwatch team, the company rebranded to Sentinels in June 2018. Sentinels opened two new divisions in 2018; in June 2018, they entered Hearthstone esports, and the following month, they began their Fortnite division.
In August 2019, Sentinels co-founder and CEO Rob Moore filed a lawsuit against KSE; Moore alleged that KSE purchased the organization Echo Fox without his knowledge. Following the suit, Sentinels split with KSE, leaving the latter as the sole owner of the Gladiators.
In February 2020, Sentinels expanded into the competitive Halo scene. Two months later, they established their Valorant division.
