Rumor: TenZ will leave Sentinels in 2023

According to Riot Games, as shown in the Valorant Champions Tour Global Contract Database, the contract of Canadian professional player Tyson Ngo, better known as TenZ, with the North American club Sentinels ends in 2023.

The gaming community drew attention to this fact and began to discuss whether TenZ's performance at the Valorant Champions Tour 2023: Americas Last Chance Qualifier was his last journey with the team.

Recall that the Sentinels failed to perform at the upcoming Valorant Champions 2023 World Championship. The team started their last LCQ qualifiers with a victory over 100Thieves with a score of 2-1. After that, the meeting with Cloud9 brought the team a loss with a score of 1-2 and a drop to the lower bracket, where the Argentine team Leviatan Esports ended Sentinels' tournament run with a score of 2-0. As a result of the loss, the Sentinels leave the tournament in 4th place and lose the chance to go to Valorant Champions 2023. This means that until the end of the current season, Sentinels will not participate in major tournaments from Riot Games, so the team may be expecting a series of reshuffles, among which could be TenZ.

Comments from the organization and the player himself

The organization does not comment on rumors about the possible departure of TenZ from the main lineup, instead they are focused on the recent loss at LCQ and are telling the story of the current lineup. They share memories of the tournaments that the team managed to attend and encourage the players.

In turn, TenZ apologizes to the fans and teammates and regrets that he did not meet their expectations.

GG we lost to Leviatan 0-2 they outperformed us today. This loss crushes my soul, realizing that we could not fully utilize the potential of our rosters and that our year ended like this... I'm just heartbroken. I appreciate all the hard work this team has put in, but I feel sorry for all the fans. I had a lot of fun playing and learning with all of you this year, and it's damn unpleasant to go out like this at the beginning of the year. I would have liked to have played better personally, and I'm very sorry that I let you down.

Until there is official confirmation, rumors will remain rumors, but if you pay attention to TenZ's wording, it seems that rumors in the future turn into truth.
