Tyson Van Ngo (born May 5, 2001), better known as TenZ (/ˈtɛnz/), is a Vietnamese-Canadian professional Valorant player for Sentinels. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest Valorant players of all time.[3][4][5]

He began his esports career in October 2019 as a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player for Cloud9. In April 2020, he transitioned to Valorant, playing for Cloud9. He took a break from professional Valorant in January 2021 to focus on a career in content creation, and in April 2021, he was loaned to Sentinels. He went on to win the VCT Stage Two Masters in Reykjavík later that year. In June 2021, his Cloud9 contract was bought out by Sentinels.
