The legend of the American Valorant scene, Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, recently returned to official competitions after an 8-month break. But his journey as part of Cubert Academy on the American Challengers scene began with a defeat.

The return of TenZ

Yesterday, the official social media of Sentinels, TenZ's former team, posted a message. In it, the player himself put on the organization's uniform again to take part in VALORANT Challengers 2025 North America: Stage 2 as a member of Cubert Academy. Read more about it in our article.

First defeat at Stage 2

But despite the high level of play and the title of Valorant eSports legend, Tyson failed to win his first match on the stage 2. The fight between Cubert Academy and Winthrop University took place on two maps Haven and Lotus, and the team lost both TenZ maps with a score of 8:13.

The legendary player himself played both maps on Neon, and although he earned a good number of kills, making him the fourth player in the match in this indicator, his overall KD was negative and amounted to 30/37.

As a result of the defeat, Cubert Academy fell to the bottom of the bracket, where they will meet YFP in an elimination match tomorrow. Follow the match results and news at the VALORANT Challengers 2025 North America: Stage 2 you can follow the link.
