Valorant Teams Rankings and Standings: Valorant World Ranking

Overview of Valorant Team Rankings

Valorant team rankings are an essential tool for understanding the competitive scene of the game. They reflect the skill level of teams on the battlefield and their results in international and local tournaments.

For fans, rankings help track their favorite teams and gauge their chances of victory, while analysts use them to study trends and develop strategies. Changes in rankings can indicate new tactics, team rosters, or coaching approaches, making them a crucial tool for the entire esports community.

How Valorant Team Rankings Are Determined

Currently, Bo3.gg determines the Valorant team ranking based on their performances in all tournaments, with the primary criterion being the amount of prize money won in the recent period.

In the future, a ranking system will be developed that considers more factors, such as:

• Tournament Results: Performances in major international and regional tournaments have the most significant impact on the ranking.
• Head-to-Head Matches: Results of matches between teams, especially victories over competitors, also influence the ranking.
• Overall Performance: Consistency in tournament performances over a certain period plays a vital role, as it demonstrates the team's form.

The Valorant world ranking system may evolve as new factors emerge that need to be considered. However, the core principles remain focused on providing an objective evaluation of teams based on their results in key competitions.

Accessing Valorant team search

Sometimes, it may be challenging to locate your favorite team in the rankings if they are not among the top ten. In such cases, you can use the filtering function or search for the team by name, located on the right side of the ranking page. Key features include:

• Main Search: Enter the team name in the search bar to quickly find the desired team and see their position in the Valorant pro ranking.
• Top Tournaments Only: To view team rankings based solely on results from top Valorant tournaments, check the corresponding box in the filter.
• Filters: You can also view the list of top teams by specific regions: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and others.

After applying the filters, you will receive information about each team: name, region, prize money, championships won, team roster, individual player statistics based on recent matches, and the Valorant team rank.

Current Valorant World Ranking

As of the last update before the start of Valorant Champions 2024, the global team rankings are as follows:

1. Gen.G Esports
2. Sentinels
3. Team Heretics
4. G2 Esports
5. Paper Rex

Significant changes in the 2024 season rankings:

• Gen.G Esports rose to first place due to winning three championships, including VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai, and finishing second at VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid, which improved their Valorant rank team.
• Sentinels climbed to the second position thanks to their victory at VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid, despite an otherwise challenging season.
• Natus Vincere and Team Liquid dropped to lower positions, failing to qualify for any Masters or Valorant Champions events.
• G2 Esports made significant progress, starting in the Challengers league in 2023 and now ranking among the top eight teams in the world at Valorant Champions 2024, becoming one of the standout Valorant esports teams.

Valorant's rankings are still relatively young and unstable, so they can change significantly after each tournament.

Regional Valorant Team Rankings

Valorant Americas Standings

The Americas region is one of the most competitive, with teams from this region often advancing to the later stages of international tournaments.

North America

• Sentinels are a highly volatile team when considering their performance over the entire period. In one season, they might top the standings, while in another, they may spend most of their time among the mid-tier teams. The 2024 season has been a successful one for them, as the team managed to break a nearly three-year drought of international titles by winning VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid.
• G2 Esports is a phenomenon in the Valorant esports scene. In just one year, the team has achieved the kind of progress that takes other teams several years to reach. In 2023, G2 Esports competed in the Challengers league and is now one of the contenders for the world championship title, holding a leading position in the Valorant team standings.

South America

• Leviatan is the strongest team in South America, featuring one of the best duelists, Erick "aspas" Santos. The team underwent a significant roster overhaul before the start of 2024, leading to a slow start, but they managed to find their form by the end of the season and secured a spot among the top six teams at Valorant Champions 2024.
• KRU Esports is a team that has surprised its fans for the second year in a row by qualifying for Valorant Champions despite a relatively mediocre season.

There are other notable teams in the Americas, but we decided to focus on these four, which we believe top the Valorant Americas standings.

Valorant EMEA Standings

The EMEA region is currently going through a tough time and cannot boast as many strong teams as the Americas. However, there are still teams that represent the European region well on the global stage:

• Team Heretics is a team composed of four young and promising players who quickly began showing solid results, topping the European Valorant ranking team and qualifying for international tournaments, including Valorant Champions 2024, where they made it to the top six teams in the world.
• Fnatic continues to build momentum and reach international competitions, despite a slight decline after the 2023 season, where they won two international trophies.

There are other promising and strong teams in EMEA, but they are currently going through difficult times. We continue to support them and hope for better performances in future seasons.

Valorant Pacific Ranking

Before the start of Valorant Champions 2024, the Pacific region was considered a strong contender for world championship dominance, with several best Valorant teams. However, something went wrong for the teams, and even the home arena where the tournament was held didn't help them. Here are a few leading teams from this region:

• Gen.G Esports is the most successful team in 2024, winning 3 out of 5 possible trophies, including VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai. Despite these results, the team failed to advance from the group stage at Valorant Champions 2024, even though they topped the Valorant Asia ranking.
• Paper Rex were the silver medalists at the 2023 world championship and participated in all international events in 2024, with their best result being third place at VCT 2024: Masters Madrid.
• DRX consistently performs in the Pacific region and has qualified for Valorant Champions three times in a row, becoming the only team from their region to advance from the group stage and make it to at least the top eight teams this year.

It will be interesting to watch the upcoming season in the Pacific region and its leading teams after they dominated throughout the 2024 season, only for DRX to conquer the group stage at Valorant Champions.

Valorant Pro Team Tier List

Valorant teams can be categorized into different tiers based on their results and potential. Here’s a Valorant team tier list based on their achievements and prospects, along with an explanation of the criteria for each tier.

S-Tier

Teams in this tier consistently place among the top in international and major regional tournaments, are in good form, and are the ones around whom the meta is built. Teams:

• Gen.G Esports
• Leviatan
• G2 Esports

A-Tier

These teams show strong results in regional leagues, regularly participate in international tournaments, and are generally considered Valorant top teams.

Teams:

• Fnatic
• Paper Rex
• Sentinels
• 100 Thieves
• Edward Gaming
• LOUD

B-Tier

Teams in this tier regularly place in the middle of the standings at regional leagues and tournaments and have the potential to break onto the international stage.

Teams:

• Team Vitality
• KRU Esports
• FUT Esports
• DRX

C-Tier

These teams occasionally show success in regional leagues, making rare appearances at Masters series tournaments, where they achieve average results. However, they have the potential to climb to the top of the Valorant esports rankings.

Teams:

• Evil Geniuses
• T1
• Talon Esports
• Trace Esports

D-Tier

Teams in this tier have low results in their regions and, despite their efforts, have yet to achieve the desired results or qualify for tournaments involving teams from around the world. There are many such Valorant teams in the VCT, so listing them all would take a long time.

The above Tier List is just our personal opinion, and perhaps we made some mistakes by forgetting about a particular team or placing them in the wrong category.

The continuous evolution of team play

At the start of the Valorant esports scene, strategies were relatively simple and sometimes even borrowed from other disciplines. However, as the number of agents increased, so did the level of teams, requiring them to better combine characters and surprise opponents to secure victories. At that time, the Valorant global ranking was even more dynamic than it is now.

Previously, more focus was placed on purely team play, building clear communication. Players on modern teams now have a high level of individual skill and more freedom of action, which has often helped teams secure crucial round victories.

One of the main incentives for teams to improve is the goal of achieving the highest possible positions in the VCT team rankings. Constant game updates that not only balance current agents but also add new ones, along with new maps, allow teams to close the gap. Teams continually adapt to new conditions and refine their tactics to stay in line with the changes in the game's meta.
