By definition, ping is a signal that tracks how long it takes for a data packet to travel from your computer to a server on the internet and back. In VALORANT, however, ping is the difference between life and death.

During the in-person event, Tyson “TenZ” Ngo received MVP honors for the grand finals, a 3-0 sweep of Fnatic that capped off a perfect 9-0 map run by Sentinels. TenZ was unstoppable in his first VCT LAN experience—a dream-like feeling that, in typical professional gamer fashion, was lost almost immediately after the event passed.
