TenZ is renowned for his incredible gaming skills, specifically in Valorant, where he is one of the game's top players. Recently, though, fans got a humorous glimpse into a very different side of the esports legend. When he sat down to play Alien: Isolation, a terrifying survival horror game, he was so scared that his screams traveled from one room to another, all the way to his partner Kyedae. You don't usually hear a pro gamer lose his composure like that and that was exactly what made this clip viral.
The clip quickly circulated on social media, showing the world that even a pro gamer like him isn't immune to the jump scares Alien: Isolation is notorious for. Fans couldn't help but laugh at his reaction, with a number of them chiming in to post their memes and witty comments. So why did this particular moment go viral on the internet? Let's break it down.
TenZ and His Alien: Isolation Scream
TenZ's reaction to Alien: Isolation was not a scream, it was the scream. The game's tension and heart-stopping scares clearly took him by surprise, and it did not take long for Kyedae, in another room, to hear him screaming in horror. And can you blame him? Alien: Isolation is notorious for keeping players on their toes, and even veteran players lose their cool. What also made this clip even funnier, though, was the way that fans reacted. They did not simply find it funny; they identified with it.
A clip of TenZ's scream quickly went viral, and fans were not late to follow with their reactions. Comments ranged from,
“Seems a little bit of an overreaction”
to
“Man keeps getting injected”
a nod to the way his face is intense pressure in Valorant, but can’t handle an alien hunting him in space. Others took the opportunity to roast TenZ’s reaction further, with one fan saying, “He should play Angry Birds,”
and another suggesting,
“Gotta soundproof them walls!”
But the funniest part? It wasn't the scream. It was the afterhumor. Fans couldn't help but make fun of a serious gaming persona and juxtapose it with his crazy reaction in the face of an alien invasion. Everybody has that one game that gets them to lose it, even though they're a master at all the others.
In the end of it all, TenZ's reaction to Alien: Isolation serves as a reminder that no matter how put-together and skilled players are, they are human. Whether competing in a Valorant tournament or trying to outrun an alien apocalypse, there are moments when things just get too much. His viral scream made fans laugh, not just because of the moment itself but because it showed that even esports legends can have those hilarious, relatable reactions. So, the next time you’re playing a horror game and screaming at the top of your lungs, remember: TenZ is right there with you.
