CS:GO Failure, Valorant God: The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of TenZ

Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo is arguably the best Valorant player alive.

But TenZ wasn’t always the dominant force he is today. Before being heralded as a god of Valorant, TenZ was a failed Counter Strike prodigy.

He had all the raw talent and ability to become a star in that esport, but when his big break finally arrived, he just didn’t materialize into the generational talent fans were expecting.

Suddenly the words choker, overhyped and overrated began to attach themselves to TenZ.

And to some, It looked like he might not be as talented as his potential had suggested.

But just on the horizon was a second chance at greatness, one TenZ couldn’t afford to squander. Valorant.
