Sentinels have officially joined Marvel Rivals esports, but instead of the usual hype, the internet responded with jokes. The moment the announcement dropped, fans flooded social media with sarcastic comments and memes, turning what should have been a big esports moment into a comedy show. From questioning who Sentinels even are to making GTA6 jokes, the reactions were nothing short of hilarious.

Marvel Rivals has been growing steadily, and Sentinels entering the scene should be a big deal. But instead of excitement, fans took a different approach turning the news into one of the funniest gaming moments of the week.


Marvel Rivals and Sentinels: A Surprising Mix

Marvel Rivals is still carving its identity in the competitive gaming world, blending superhero action with a team-based shooter experience. While the game has been gaining traction, Sentinels' entry caught many by surprise. The team, known for its presence in games like Valorant, making a move into this space wasn’t something fans saw coming.

Instead of celebrating, fans took the opportunity to roast the situation. One of the first viral comments was “Who that? AI robots?” which quickly became the internet’s favorite way of mocking Sentinels. It wasn’t just about the team joining a new game it was the fact that the move seemed so unexpected that made it the perfect joke material.

Timing, confusion, and humor made this post explode. Fans didn’t expect Sentinels to join Marvel Rivals, and that surprise quickly turned into internet gold. The comment “Only been hinting for months lol” summed up how long Sentinels had been teasing this move, but instead of a grand reveal, it ended up as another meme-worthy moment.

Of course, no major gaming announcement is complete without a GTA6 reference. One user sarcastically asked, “Okey but we still waiting for GTA6?” because, well, priorities. No matter what’s happening in the gaming world, GTA6’s absence is always worth discussion.

Some fans took direct shots at Sentinels' history in esports, joking that “Sentinels will crash and burn in this game too.” Others simply watched the chaos unfold, adding to the meme fest. In true internet fashion, the funnier the post got, the faster it spread.

Esports fans have a habit of turning everything into a joke, and this was the perfect opportunity. While some were genuinely excited about Sentinels entering Marvel Rivals, most were more focused on making it as funny as possible.

It wasn’t just about roasting Sentinels this was classic gaming culture at its best. Whenever a major team enters a new title, there's always skepticism, and this time, it comes in the form of relentless humor.

Whether Sentinels dominate Marvel Rivals or struggle, one thing is clear they’ve already made their mark in the meme world. The internet may joke, but this move could bring more attention to the game and even shift how people see its competitive scene.

For now, though, the gaming community is doing what it does best: making sure every unexpected move comes with a side of top-tier memes.
