TenZ will don the C9 logo again, this time in a different competitive scene

Cloud9 announce TenZ as first VALORANT player

The young Canadian will be turning his focus to Riot's new game over CS:GO.

Cloud9 have revealed that their first pro for VALORANT  is none other than Tyson "TenZ" Ngo. The 18-year-old Canadian has been tied to the organization since the forming of the previous iteration of their CS:GO lineup that featured the now Gen.G core of Timothy "autimatic" Ta, Kenneth "koosta" Suen, and Damian "daps" Steele.

Explaining the move, TenZ said: "I decided to make this change because after getting access to the closed Beta I have been having a lot of fun playing VALORANT lately. I just thought it would be best if I changed games and I'm just really excited for the future of this game".

TenZ was last seen as a stand-in for In The Lab in MDL Relegation last week, where he shone individually, but could not prevent In The Lab from dropping to ESEA Advanced for Season 34. He also competed in the Asia Minor Middle East Closed Qualifier for ESL One Rio with ATK, where finished 5-6th despite TenZ being the highest rated player in the event.

TenZ becomes the third noteworthy name from the North American CS:GO scene to be announced as a pro player by an organization in anticipation of professional VALORANT, following Braxton "swag" Pierce and Keven "AZK" Larivière, who were both signed by T1.

Isn't it a little early? No ranking system yet. At least 2021 before there is a pro circuit.

I hope there isnt an actual pro scene and they just waste time. I'm all for changing games but the game isnt even out of CLOSED BETA FFS

It is a bit early, personally don't like how the anticheat for Valorant works right now either imo so I'll hold off on a lot of hype for the game
