We’ve now reached the conclusion of Valorant’s fourth year of competitive play, with numerous players earning six-figure sums in prize money. Let’s dive into the top individual earners and the teams that are cashing in the most.
Since its launch in the summer of 2020, Valorant’s competitive scene has rapidly gained momentum. Star-studded teams and a packed schedule of major events have driven remarkable viewership numbers in a short time.
Riot’s strong support for the competitive scene has attracted players who were disenchanted with other games, many of whom have found the success in Valorant that eluded them elsewhere.
Evil Geniuses held the top spot following their Valorant Champions 2023 victory, with their players dominating the earnings leaderboard. However, this landscape has since shifted.
While top players from Fnatic and former EG members still lead the pack, EDward Gaming’s victory at Valorant Champions 2024 has propelled their players to the top of the earnings charts.
In addition, several Valorant Game Changers teams, particularly G2 and Shopify, are among the highest-earning teams.
For those curious about the top 20 teams and players, the rankings below offer a detailed look. This list will be updated periodically following each major event.
