Valorant’s esports scene has produced numerous stars and thrilling international tournaments, and a new team of legends has just been crowned at Valorant Champions. Explore the teams and players who have claimed Valorant’s most prestigious international titles here.
The International Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) tournaments represent the pinnacle of the esport. Every year, teams strive to reach VCT Masters or Valorant Champions, aiming to build their legacy, earn prize money, and secure a trophy against global competition.
Though Valorant esports is still young compared to other top-tier games like CS:GO and League of Legends, several teams have already secured international titles. Riot Games has hosted numerous events worldwide, contributing to the rapid growth of the competitive circuit.
With the evolution of Valorant’s competitive scene and the introduction of partnered leagues, teams typically have three opportunities each year to win an international trophy: two VCT Masters events and Valorant Champions to conclude the season.
In 2024, the VCT season featured three major international tournaments: VCT Masters Madrid, VCT Masters Shanghai, and Valorant Champions.
