Sentinels have made former world champ pANcada a restricted free agent after moving him to a substitute position on their roster.

During the offseason, Sentinels reintroducedfan-favorite player Zellsisto the roster in a substitute position. But, following success at multiple tier-two events with Zellsis, pANcada found himself pushed to the back of the line.
