Insulted, Doubted, Reborn: How TenZ Conquered Valorant Again

Рет қаралды 481,162

Ай бұрын

TenZ was once the face of Valorant.
He was an unstoppable, universally beloved prodigy who rose from the ashes of a messy CS:GO career to unparalleled stardom in Valorant.
But as quickly as he climbed to the top, he fell. TenZ was blamed for every Sentinels loss, the target of endless criticism.
So he did what he does best. He got to work and proved to everyone that he's still the king of Valorant.

I honestly can't fathom the hate this man gets. The love from fans is undoubtedly freakin insane as well, no question about that but tomorrow, god forbid, if they end up losing one match or even one map, watch the hate he'll get again. idk why its so hard for these irons and bronzes to understand that everyone has a bad day, month or year/ years. He already has established himself as the val king, and no one can dethrone him. The amount of "TENZs" I encounter daily in my ranked games is enough proof of that, his name's tied to valorant and insanity, and no one can counter that. So just give the respect the man deserves cuz that's the least u can do.

TenZ’s omen is so sick to watch. He still plays extremely aggressively on it, getting the second most first bloods after Zekken. His quick thinking from his duelist days translates to quick on the fly util and smokes to set up his team. he’s helping pioneer a new wave of aggressive smoke players and i can’t wait to see him play more

Ppl calling TenZ a bad duelist are dumb, his performance was always consistent as a duelist, why is he thriving in the smoke role? because he knows what a duelist really needs and he is also playing other roles that really have a secondary duelist role with flashes, smokes and such. As a duelist he just needed someone to know what util he really needed to be the best duelist. But results matter the most 4Head

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Tenz... honey, my pookie bear. The way you strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth shots around the site, and that gorgeous Operator. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. Then allas, you did, my sweet king wins again and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you made history happen. You came back and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, as I exclaim these words, "I HECKIN LOVE TENZ!" Not only have you changed the game of VALORANT and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Tenz

Been a Tenz fan since Cloud 9 and I never doubted my GOAT!!! At first Tenz exceeded everyone in Valo but when they caught up he didn't know how to exceed them again, I've been there duelist only and turn off brain and just aim and that got me to nothing I was hard stuck gold but when I took a break for about 5-6 months I had aim better than ever and had tactics to each agents I pick. He just needed to find his way

I believe that the best Valorant player in the world must be a flex player like Tenz or Forsaken. Being a duelist will rely on your teammates and IGL setup but being a flex means you can create those opportunities by yourself by filling the gap needed from your team.

TenZ did amazing, and proved to SEN that he was worth waiting and keeping in the long run. Many teams would've dropped a player that was MIA for the multiple reasons TenZ was gone from the team (injury, personal issues, etc), but SEN still held a spot for him when he came back; and that by itself is a story worth telling.
