The group stage of Valorant Champions 2023 has come to an end. The next matches will start on August 16, so while the esports players have a break between competitions, we decided to pick for you a list of 5 professionals who performed their role best during the group matches.
Whz
Leading our list is a player from the Chinese team Bilibili Gaming. What's notable about him is that before this championship, he only competed in the Chinese region and had no experience competing on international stages, especially ones as prestigious as the world championship. Despite this, Whz has proven himself as a top-tier duelist, securing his team 2 victories during the group stage. In both winning matches, he received the MVP title, and in the first, he achieved the highest combat score among all participants. His overall average score for the group stage was 286 points.
Keznit
Next up, we have a player who, unfortunately, will not continue his journey at the world championship, as he left the tournament after the group stage. However, this did not stop the KRU Esports player from outperforming some players who advanced to the next round. In the losing match against Giants, Keznit received the MVP title and had the best metrics even when compared to opponents. Despite this, KRU Esports suffered a defeat and as a result, exited the tournament. The overall average score of the player for the group stage was 268.
Alfajer
In 3rd place, we have a participant from the tournament's main favorites, Fnatic - Alfajer. The team is considered the primary contender for the win, and it's no wonder, with excellent performances since the start of the season and the high professionalism of its players, proving that the "Oranges" are ready to win. The Turkish player made a significant contribution to the team's victorious path, thanks to him the team clinched two easy wins during the group stage, and in one of the matches, he received the MVP title, finishing with the best metrics, outperforming his duelist and teammate. His overall average score for the group stage was 267.
Jinggg
A duelist from the top of the Asia-Pacific region couldn't be left out of our list, and it's no surprise. Jinggg typically delivers excellent results, which might be slightly inferior to some other professionals, but his primary advantage is consistency. The player ends almost every game at the top, not just among his teammates but also against opponents. This is evidenced by the team's last two matches, in which he received the MVP title both times and topped the post-match leaderboard. His overall average score for the group stage is 254.
Derkeps
Rounding out our list is another member of the Fnatic team. Like Alfajer, he's the backbone of the team, helping the "Oranges" achieve such success. Although his teammate outperformed him in the first match and took all the accolades, Derkeps fully redeemed himself in the next game against the Chinese team, Bilibili Gaming. The duelist finished the match leading in kills and average combat score, and his overall average for the group stage was 244.
Now you know who among the professional players delivered the best results during the group stage. We remind you that the playoff stage awaits, which will bring even more thrilling matches and new player favorites. Keep following our portal to not miss any relevant information.
