TenZ - Pro Config Valorant - Gear

It's hard to play or even watch Valorant without already hearing about TenZ, a true benchmark of the competitive scene. Known for his talent and his outstanding precision, he also places great importance on the gear he uses, which makes his choices particularly interesting to analyse. In this blog, we go into detail on his settings as well as his equipment, to find out how he optimises his gaming environment and stays at the top.

🎯 How much TenZ cares about his gear

You might think that like any competitive player TenZ picks his gear carefully, but it goes even further than that because TenZ, compared to other players, pays far closer attention to the peripherals he uses. A great chef's dish doesn't exist without excellent ingredients, and in the same way TenZ performs on Valorant in the best possible way thanks to the perfect gear he chooses and combines with his talent.

🖱️ Perfect glide and perfect aim 🎯

In an FPS like Valorant, the first criterion is precision and TenZ is known for having perfect aim, so to optimise your mouse and get the smoothest glide possible, a good mousepad is the first thing you need. TenZ went with Lethal Gaming Gear and their Saturn Pro, an excellent pad that also comes in a red colourway to match the Pulsar mouse built in collaboration with TenZ and his input, to create the most perfect

⌨️ TenZ's keyboards ⚡

TenZ is a big fan of Wooting, and that makes sense since the brand was one of the first to create and popularise the magnetic keyboard. Today it's essential to have one to compete, and even more so at a high level. Thanks to the adjustable actuation point you get far more responsive and much more precise movement, and in a game like Valorant or Counter-Strike, stopping at the right moment means shooting in the right place — if you've already played these games you know how much movement and aim are one and the same.

TenZ has used and still uses 2 iconic keyboards from Wooting, the 60HE and the 80HE, which we offer in ISO FR layout!

👀 Sight and hearing 🔊

One of the most important things in an FPS is still sight and sound: hearing and seeing your enemies first gives you a serious edge in a duel. On that front TenZ doesn't mess around, going for a 600Hz XL2586X+ monitor from Zowie BenQ, clearly one of the best if not the best monitor for competition. On the audio side, more and more pro players are switching to IEMs: in-ears are now on par with or even more advanced than headsets, lighter to wear and closer to the ear, so you hear the details better — details that can reveal an enemy's position. We know that today TenZ has custom-made IEMs, but before that he used the Blessing 3 from Moondrop, ultra-high-performance in-ears that give you a real advantage over your opponent!

📖 TenZ's story

🎮 The beginnings

Tyson Ngo, better known as TenZ, was born in 2001 in Canada. From a very young age he developed a passion for video games, especially FPS titles. He first made a name for himself on CS:GO, where he stood out with his exceptional aim and aggressive playstyle. That's where he built his reputation as a player with extraordinary precision.

🚀 Moving to Valorant

With the release of Valorant in 2020, TenZ was among the first professional players to join the competitive scene. He signed with Cloud9, quickly becoming one of the faces of the game thanks to his impressive mechanics and his consistency in tournaments.

In 2021, he was loaned to Sentinels for the VCT Masters Reykjavik tournament. It was a major turning point in his career: he shone throughout the competition and helped his team to a historic victory. Following that success, he was officially signed by Sentinels.

🏆 An esports icon

Over the years, TenZ has become one of the most popular Valorant players. Not just because of his performances, but also for his personality and his presence on stream, where he regularly shares his games, his settings and his thoughts on the game.

He is often cited as a role model for young players, both for his level of play and for the attention he pays to his equipment and his performance environment.

🌟 Today

TenZ remains a major figure in the competitive scene and a reference for anyone interested in Valorant. His career illustrates the successful transition of a player coming from CS:GO to a new discipline, where he established himself as a true icon.
