Sentinels has announced a marketing collaboration with SanDisk, marking a significant commercial milestone for the Los Angeles-based organisation. The partnership establishes SanDisk as an official partner, with a specific focus on its Optimus GX and Optimus GX PRO gaming storage brands.
The deal will see the SanDisk logo featured on the back of all professional jerseys, spanning their VALORANT, League of Legends (LoL), and Marvel Rivals rosters.

The SanDisk partnership arrives as Sentinels continues to solidify its position as a pillar of North American esports. Counting on the LoL team, this commercial growth is directly linked to the organisation’s major administrative victory six months ago by securing a permanent partner slot in the LCS (League of Legends Championship Series).
By taking over the vacancy left by 100 Thieves in 2025, Sentinels expanded from its partner position on VALORANT and became a long-term stakeholder also in Riot Games’ flagship MOBA.
To kick off the collaboration, Sentinels’ Marvel Rivals star Chassidy “aramori“ Kaye is appearing at the SanDisk booth at PAX East today, March 27. As the first female professional player in the organisation’s history, Aramori has become a central figure in the competitive scene since winning the Ignite 2025 Stage 1: Americas.
The PAX activation allows fans to interact with the pro-player while getting hands-on experience with the storage solutions that power her competitive setup. Sentinels CEO Rob Moore emphasised that the goal is authentic interaction: “We’re not here to just put a logo somewhere. The goal is to build something our community can authentically interact with, whether that’s through content, events, or experiences they can be part of.”
“Working with the Sentinels lets us put the SANDISK OptimusTM GX portfolio at the heart of gaming competitive play, where performance and reliability truly matter,” said Heidi Arkinstall, VP Global Consumer Brand and Digital Marketing at Sandisk in a press release. “Esports pros and creators push their systems to the limit every day, and this collaboration is our way of showing gamers everywhere that the same gaming storage solutions powering top-tier teams are also available to level up their own setups.”
Beyond jersey branding, SanDisk will become a primary sponsor for Sentinels-hosted events, including the Sentinels Invitational and the SEN City Classic tournament series. These independent events have become a significant viewership draw outside of official developer leagues, amassing over 8.3 million views since 2024 according to data provided by Esports Charts. SanDisk will receive commercial placements during these broadcasts and a heavy brand presence throughout the tournament productions.
The convergence of the LCS permanent slot and the SanDisk deal signals a new commercial era for Sentinels. The organisation’s industry headlines in the past months are marked by securing permanent league spots and long-term hardware partners, including the extension of its deal with Razer in August 2025.
