By most measurable statistics Tyson “TenZ” Ngo is the world’s top Valorant player, but he thinks it’s too soon for anyone to hold that title. In a recent report with Upcomer, the prodigy humbly spoke about who he believes is the absolute best. His answer? Nobody. At least, not yet.
“Nobody’s like Faker, nobody’s like s1mple where they’re just way above the competition,” said Ngo via Upcomer. “You have a handful of really top performers, but everybody can keep improving, and there’s nobody way ahead of the game currently.
He continued: “I just play with a lot of confidence and coming up in my time from [Counter-Strike], I’ve learned that it’s a lot more of a mental game than you think, and confidence can bring you a long way and especially you can make decisions.”
On Wednesday, Ngo and his team Sentinels just came off a 2-0 defeat against G2 Esports at the Valorant Champions Tour Masters. So he knows that despite being arguably the best, nobody is untouchable in Valorant just yet.
Lost against G2 0-2 GG’s they played rly well today and had some good reads, first match lost on LAN but losing is an important part of growing as a team. Playing against F4Q again tmrw! Pretty sure we are secured #2 seed

Regardless of the defeat, Ngo and will be back in the tournament tomorrow when Sentinels face off against F4Q.
