|content=Sentinels has revealed its first-ever anime collaboration, teaming up with Haikyu!!, the globally acclaimed volleyball anime series, and anime streaming giant Crunchyroll. The partnership marks a significant crossover between competitive gaming and Japanese animation, centered around a new limited-edition apparel drop.

The collection was released on August 22nd via the Sentinels’ official website, aligning with the team’s highly anticipated debut in the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2025 Americas Stage 2 Playoffs.

Designed to celebrate both esports culture and anime fandom, the line features a blend of athletic and streetwear items. Fans can shop from a selection that includes two hooded sweatshirts, a graphic short-sleeve t-shirt, two performance jerseys, two pairs of athletic shorts, and a custom-designed water bottle.
