Who Are the Best Teams in Valorant?
Did you know almost 23 million players have played Valorant in the last 30 days? Valorant continues to grow and become more popular. To introduce you to the world of Valorant esports, we decided to rank the best teams. Check out our picks below! If you want to stream the biggest Valorant tournaments, head to GGBET.
1. Gambit Esports
Gambit Esports have won virtually every tournament imaginable in Valorant. They won the first-ever world championships, Valorant Champions, in 2021 and have also taken down several regional titles. In addition, they won the Masters: Berlin and the Masters for the Commonwealth of Independent States. With so many different titles, we had to rank Gambit Esports as the number 1 Valorant team in the world.
Currently, the feature of the Gambit Esports Valorant team looks unclear. As they are originally a Russian team, they cannot compete in international tournaments. So we will have to wait and see if we ever see them back in action or if the squad moves to other teams.
2. OpTic Gaming
OpTic Gaming has already won over $300,000 from Valorant tournaments, and this figure is only going to keep rising! This team is known for its unorthodox and aggressive style which leaves its opponents perplexed.
The American team is on fire in 2022, winning tournament after tournament. Their big win came at the VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters – Reykjavík, where they claimed $200,000 in prize money. They also took 3rd at the VCT 2022: Stage 2 Masters – Copenhagen for $85,000! They look like they will make the final of every tournament they enter.
3. Sentinels
The 3rd best Valorant team in the world is Sentinels! They have just under $600,000 in winnings, and once the Valorant league kicks off next year, they should quickly cross the million-dollar mark.
The Sentinels are based in the US and are led by ShahZaM who is considered one of the most talented Valorant players of all time. Sentinels’ biggest win came at the VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters – Reykjavík, where they won $200,000.
4. Acend
Acend is the top Valorant team out of Europe. The team is led by starxo, and they also have other talented players on the roster like MONSTEERR and L1NK. Acend already has over $500,000 in lifetime Valorant tournament winnings. They have won major tournaments, including the VALORANT Champions 2021 and the VCT 2021: Europe Stage 1 Masters.
Acend has amazing fundamentals and incredible aim accuracy. We are excited to see Acend take on the likes of Sentinels and OpTic Gaming. It is also fun to see world-class Valorant teams battle it out.
5. DRX
Rounding out the top 5 Valorant teams in the world is DRX. The Korean-based Valorant team has over $100,000 in tournament winnings. However, they are yet to win a major tournament. Their best wins include the VCT 2022: Korea Stage 1 Challengers and the VCT 2022: Korea Stage 2 Challengers. They have shown the potential to compete with the top teams in the world, and we expect them to win a major tournament very soon!
Final Thoughts
Gambit Esports are the best Valorant team of all time. But as they are based in Russia, they are banned from playing in international tournaments. This means that the best active Valorant teams in the world are OpTic Gaming and Sentinels.
