"Bro just like me": Internet reacts to TenZ returning to CS2, but it didn't go as planned

Gaming sensation TenZ recently announced his retirement from professional Valorant, leaving his fanbase nostalgic and somewhat disheartened. However, this does not mean he will quit playing games. In fact, it seems like TenZ has decided to go back to his roots and try his hand at CS2 again. Of course, the game is much different than when he was a pro player.

Now a content creator for Sentinels, TenZ recently streamed his CS2 gameplay, and like many players, he couldn't quite get his grips strong right off the bat. He missed several shots in one clip, prompting X user @brand0n210 to comment on the relatable video:

"bro just like me frfr"

The clip was posted by popular content creator Jake Lucky on X. In the video, TenZ can be seen going down Mid on Mirage and whiffing multiple shots, even calling himself "terrible" at one point. One user, @imafisher, blamed the Valorant-trained aim for all the errors.

The two games could not be further apart. While Valorant is a newer game in the FPS hero shooter sub-genre, Counter-Strike 2 is a tactical FPS game. Naturally, TenZ would face some issues settling back in. Regardless, @espNOToxic seemed sure that the aim was why TenZ kept away from the game, they said:

"Bruh that’s why he played Valorant"

However, others stood witness to how beautiful the player's gameplay and aim are even in a different game. User @Lion_2812 believed that it was CS2's fault and not TenZ that all those shots missed:

"I am 0.0000001% of his skill and I SWEAR THAT HAPPENS TO ME. Thank god is not me just being bad. In GO I swear I would've hit my USP shots more often. Thank you TenZ for showcasing this game is broken as f**k"

Finally, user @ItsJustFreshh felt that TenZ is just as good at CS2 as Valorant and is a brilliant player when it comes to FPS games. However, it is difficult to judge his performance by looking at one short clip of him whiffing shots.
