TenZ is considered a popular face in the Valorant eSports circle. He has been in the tier 1 circle of the game since its inception. Tyson was the first member of Cloud 9 when they formed the team.

She talked about how the online space lacks empathy at the moment. That is, the way many are treating TenZ without knowing what is going on in the background is quite annoying. TenZ went into the match with an injured hand. He had a joint infection, and if there was a chance that he could sit the match out, he would have done that, revealed Kyedae.

Despite his injury, TenZ played for his team. Now, the former Masters player has tested positive for Covid. Kyedae reinstates that many people are forgetting that Tyson is also human.

She added that “He has NEVER once said he is the best.” TenZ became this popular and adored through his impressive performances. But, with popularity comes hate. Thus, whenever a solid performance is not showcased by TenZ, the critics jump in to bombard the player.

Every player goes through a rough patch. TenZ is currently having a lot on his plate at the moment, his fiancé was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, his hand is infected and now he is down with Covid.

TenZ has seen better days. We can hope that the people’s champ comes back stronger and prove the critics wrong with his future performance. Sentinels will be facing Loud in three days, but with the current Covid news, we cannot be sure how the team composition will be.

This is a must-win situation for Sentinels, and it would be ideal to have their marque player on the starting 5. But considering the current medical circumstances, the team may ask Tyson to sit this one out.
