Shahzeb “ShahZam” Khan has become one of the most recognizable names in VALORANT esports in North America after making the switch from CS:GO in early 2020 and leading Sentinels to win an international tournament in the form of VCT Masters Two Reykjavík in 2021. If you’re unclear about deciding your personal VALORANT settings or simply want to try new settings, ShahZam is definitely one of the players you can draw inspiration from.
The shot-caller is a consistent streamer as well and is making a career resurgence with G2 Esports in the NA Challengers League in 2023. Should all go to plan, G2 could be one of the teams fighting for a spot in VCT Americas 2024 via Ascension.
