TenZ and Zellsis talk about the Valorant Champions bundle

Sentinels pro player Tyson “TenZ” Ngo was looking at the Champions melee, the butterfly knife, and was struggling to find the difference in the Champions Aura for the kill stacks. He then said, “Oh, it fills up with red. So when it’s 25 kills, it’s full, full red.” TenZ also watched the kill animation for the Champions Phantom and added, “Eh, it’s alright” and was unfazed by it.

TenZ said he was thinking about whether or not to buy the new Valorant Champions bundle but was certain that he won’t use it. He added that he liked the 2021 Valorant Champions melee - the Karambit – better. “I think the light glow is just better. I think it’s a little too complicated to get the full effect and everything.

Meanwhile, his teammate in the North American (NA) Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro was all praise for the Valorant Champions bundle. He said, “God, look at this glow dude. Look at the red. Oh my god!” Zellsis opined that Riot Games needs to rework the Champions Vandal and give it the red decals as well.

You might see a lot of players using the new Valorant Champions bundle in the Champions tournament which is all set to kick off on 31st August. Click here to read more about Valorant Champions 2022 and to follow the scores and updates from the tournament.
