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.

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.
