Tyson ‘TenZ�Ngo is back in action after stepping away from the pro VALORANT scene. The 23-year-old Canadian star is set to stand in for Cubert Academy during the VCT Challengers Stage 2 Playoffs. His return follows Cubert’s recent roster shake-up, after Logan ‘skuba�Jenkins transferred to NRG’s VCT roster, opening a slot for the same role.

During this period, TenZ won’t only appear on broadcasts; he’s also streaming his own POV of the matches on both his YouTube and Twitch channels. This is due to his strong viewership, which counts over 100,000 viewers.

TenZ’s first match with Cubert Academy was against Winthrop on Tuesday, May 20, which ended at 2-0. The VCT playoffs follow a double-elimination format, which means fans will see TenZ play at least two matches with the roster.

TenZ last played in pro in August 2024 before shifting to content creation and streaming. His move to Cubert is not a full-time return but rather a short-term sub role. 

TenZ and the Sentinels

On May 8, TenZ announced that he had officially ‘parted ways�with Sentinels. However, the official Sentinels and their CEO Rob Moore shared that their split was made to open more opportunities for TenZ. ‘TenZ will always be Sentinels family� the Sentinels posted.
