TenZ and Kyedae’s duo queue goal is the perfect Valentine’s Day story

Updated on February 13, 10:37 a.m. (GMT+8): Improved relevancy. 

Sentinels‘ superstar duelist Tyson “TenZ” Ngo played a lot of solo queue in 2022.

His fiancee, streamer and content creator Kyedae “Kyedae” Shymko, made their fans swoon with the real reason.

Of course, TenZ has said before on stream that he genuinely enjoys playing on his own. “Maybe I’m sick in the head, but I like solo queueing. I do it in any game I play – I’ll do it in Valorant, I’ll do it in League of Legends,” he said.

But as most competitive gamers know, solo queuing can be infuriating, which TenZ acknowledged. “I don’t even know how [I solo queue regularly] and not suffer mentally, but it’s fun being in my own little bubble by myself,” he reflected.

As it turns out though, there’s a bigger reason why the Jett player prefers to play alone in Valorant.

Kyedae reveals the heartwarming reason why TenZ has been solo queueing recently

While talking about her rank goals in 2022, Kyedae once made the insides of her Twitch viewers go mushy when she brought up another sweeter reason why her boyfriend had been choosing to solo queue.

“Do you know what Tyson told me? He goes, ‘The reason why I don’t duo queue with anyone is that I’m waiting for you, so I can duo queue with you.’ I almost cried,” said the Japanese-Canadian streamer, after she announced that she was planning to reach Diamond by the end of the current Act, and then Diamond 3 during the next Act.

The couple has had a long-running series where they teach each other their specialties.

Since early in his Valorant career, TenZ has taken it upon himself to teach Kyedae how to play the game.

And if they’re not playing together in a Valorant server, the power couple can be seen in Kyedae’s cooking show, where TenZ learns how to prepare and make dishes from scratch.

TenZ also previously moved to Los Angeles to be closer to his girlfriend, who was based out of the 100 Thieves cash app compound.
