SEN 🤝 C9
— Cloud9 (@Cloud9) March 11, 2021
TenZ has removed C9 from all his socials, making fans even more suspicious about the deal. Moreover, an official tournament ruling authorizing the roster change for Sentinels also raises many questions.
According to the rules of the tournament, players can have a running contract with only one organization. Therefore, Tyson can no longer have any affiliations to Cloud9. This ruling makes his relations with his previous org even more strained. However, C9 seems happy about its decision and apparently is on good terms with both TenZ and Sentinels.
Gaming community reacts to TenZ joining Sentinels
TenZ joining a different Valorant lineup came as shocking news to fans. The community expected the pro to restart his professional career in the same colors as his fans loved to see him in. The transfer has left many fans upset, one of them being Sentinels’ Fortnite pro Bugha himself.
should’ve been me 🙄
— Bugha (@bugha) March 11, 2021
Bugha wishing to join Sentinel’s Valorant roster could hint towards the pro’s shifting interests. Even after the renewal of his contract and a stellar performance in the ongoing FNCS, the Fortnite pro could switch to Riot’s FPS game in the near future.
