TenZ’s New VALORANT Settings
To make flashy plays, TenZ uses specific VALORANT settings. These settings definitely do not make TenZ one of the best players in the world, but they surely help him stay consistent. Each video setting in the game, keyboard, and mouse settings, as well as mouse sensitivity, are all adjusted to match his playstyle.
Also, keep in mind that pro players like TenZ tend to change their VALORANT settings quite a lot. The changes are always very minimal and remain in a specific range. So, it is always suggested to follow pro players’ VALORANT settings but not mimic them exactly, as they might not fit your gameplay style.
