On March 24, 2024, the much-anticipated VCT Masters Madrid took place, an event that emotionally moved many in the Valorant community. One moment in particular stood out: The well-known Twitch streamer TenZ experienced a true dream that he fulfilled in front of his fans.
Who is TenZ? Tyson Ngo (22), better known as TenZ, is a Vietnamese-Canadian professional player in the world of Valorant.
His esports career began in October 2019 as a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player for Cloud9. He then moved to Valorant in April 2020, where he continued to play for Cloud9. In 2021 he moved to the Sentinels, where he finally achieved the title of best player in the world at the World Cup during the move.
Who is Kyedae? Kyedae Shymko (22) is a well-known Twitch streamer who often plays Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant. But their story goes beyond gaming.
On March 3, 2023, Kyedae shocked her fan base with a Twitter message in which she revealed that she had leukemia. A little later, she confessed to her viewers that she had hidden this serious diagnosis from her fiancé TenZ for a long time. At the time, TenZ was participating in a major esports tournament. Kyedae wanted to ensure that he could fully concentrate on his game and his career.
The couple caused goosebumps at this event
What kind of event is the VCT Masters? The VCT Masters, short for “Valorant Champions Tour Masters”, is a highly respected and globally known esports event. This year the event took place in Madrid. It offers the eight best teams from the Valorant scene the opportunity to show their skills on an international level and fight for fame and attractive prize money.
The VCT Masters events also serve as a platform to showcase the latest developments and upcoming updates in the game. At the event this year, agent number 25, named Clove, was also revealed and introduced in the first gameplay matches.

“Always wanted her to see me win,” TenZ said
What was so special this year? TenZ and Kyedea have brought their community to tears several times. However, at this year’s VCT Masters, the two fulfilled one of TenZ’s greatest wishes.
During the event he said: “I always dreamed of having Kyedae at an event and having her watch me win. Just the fact that she is here now means a lot to me.”
However, until now Kyedea has never had the opportunity to accompany TenZ at such events. But this year everything was different.
The streamer was invited to introduce the new agent Clove in a first gameplay match in a live stream at the event. Not only could TenZ himself be seen on stage, but also his fiancée Kyedea for the first time, which made the event even more special for the two of them.
Kyedea spent the entire time at the event and streamed the events live on site. Even when she wasn’t on stage, she was reacting to the other matches and cheering TenZ on from the background.
“Let’s go, Tyson! Good shit,” Kyedae said, crying
How did the final go? As if TenZ hadn’t already fulfilled his wish that Kyedae could accompany him live at such an event and watch him – he even won the final against Gen.G together with the Sentinels.
Twitch streamer Kyedae cried with happiness when TenZ won its second VCT win since switching from Counter-Strike to Valorant and this was announced.
“Let’s go, Tyson! Good shit,” she cried, crying as her fiancé held up the trophy. After the trophy was awarded, the Sentinels were interviewed, and during this time a few of their closest confidants came to congratulate them.
So Kyedea came running down and lovingly hugged and kissed TenZ several times while still wiping away her tears. TenZ’s dream was now completely fulfilled, and both of them gave the audience goosebumps.
During a Twitch stream, TenZ and Kyedae were surprised by their chat with the question “Lights on or lights off?” TenZ’s humorous response made for an amusing moment. You can read more about it here: Valorant: Twitch streamer answers intimate bedroom question in the style of a true gamer
