Insulted, Doubted, Reborn: How TenZ Conquered Valorant Again
Переглядів 455,066
Місяць томуTenZ 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.

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

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.

I think instead of saying Tenz fell of hard it's more like Sentinels after winning Iceland, they didn't put much effort anymore. While teams were getting better and better, countering Sentinels just became stangnent and easier. Tenz on duelist is still one of the best players available, it's more like Sentinels didn't have the players to keep him being a duelist. The amount of member changes they've had is also one of the reason why Tenz couldn't find momentum. Obviously after getting a fixed team and also finally doing Scrims they finally reached this point. Tbh the old sentinel was the goat but the current one is no less and tenz is gonna better and better.
