TenZ Announces Retirement from VALORANT, Leaving an Unmatched Legacy
TenZ Announces Retirement from Competitive VALORANT
We heckin' love TenZ. But all good things must come to an end, as Tyson "TenZ" Ngo announced his retirement from Sentinels and competitive VALORANT. The retirement announcement was made on his X account, with Sentinels posting a tribute video alongside it.
According to TenZ, he knew this would be his last year heading into 2024, solidifying his place as one of the most iconic professional esports players of the modern era. With multiple trophies and countless highlights to his name, the face of VALORANT exits competitive play, marking a poignant moment in esports.
A Look at TenZ's VALORANT Career
- Transitioned to professional FPS gaming from Counter-Strike.
- Returned to Cloud9 before moving on to Sentinels.
- Instrumental in leading Sentinels to victory in major tournaments.
Having helped his team secure the Stage 1 Masters win in 2021 and the Masters Reykjavik title, TenZ's influence on VALORANT cannot be overstated. Now, he bows out after lifting the 2024 Masters Madrid trophy with Sentinels and placing Top 4 at Champions in Seoul.
This retirement does not signify a complete departure, as TenZ states he will remain part of the Sentinels organization, continuing to create content and potentially stepping in as a substitute if needed.
