|content=Tyson "[[People/TenZ|TenZ]]" Ngo, one of the most iconic figures in VALORANT esports, has officially announced his departure from [[Companies/Sentinels|Sentinels]], marking the end of a significant chapter in his career.

TenZ first made waves in the professional scene in 2020 when he transitioned from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Riot Games’ tactical shooter, VALORANT. He quickly became one of the most recognizable names in the game, initially playing for Cloud9 Blue before being loaned to Sentinels.

During his tenure with Sentinels, TenZ helped lead the team to several major victories, including their historic win at VALORANT Masters Reykjavik in 2021—the first international VALORANT LAN tournament. Sentinels later continued their success, capturing another title at VALORANT Masters Madrid in 2024.

That same year, TenZ announced his retirement from competitive play to pursue content creation within the Sentinels organization. At the time, he cited broader ambitions outside of esports. “I had a lot of stuff I wanted to do outside of the game that I felt very ambitious about,” he explained.

Since stepping into his content creator role, TenZ has amassed over 6.5 million followers across Twitch and YouTube, further solidifying his place as a household name in the gaming community.

However, this week, TenZ revealed via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he will now be leaving Sentinels entirely to embark on a new, yet undisclosed journey.

“Sentinels was a true family for me in the players and the staff,” TenZ wrote. “A little bittersweet but I'm excited for this new chapter of my life. I appreciate all the Sentinels fans for the continued support throughout my career and hope you continue to support the team even with my absence. All good things must come to an end, goodbye Sen City it's been fun!”
