All VALORANT Champions Winners – Insider Gaming

Every year, the best VALORANT team at the world is crowned at VALORANT Champions, which serves as the world championship for Riot Games’ agent-filled tactical shooter. Over time, the event has drawn larger audiences as the game expands its global reach, and that reach is exemplified in all the different regions that have claimed the trophy at VALORANT Champions.

VALORANT may have a shorter history than several other esports titles, but that just makes the hall of Champions winners that much more exclusive.

in 2024 due to unsustainability. But the organization and its players still hold the distinction of being the first ever VALORANT Champions winners, defeating a Gambit team that had dominated the scene for virtually the entire year in a thrilling five-map series in the grand finals.

Brazilian organization LOUD entered VALORANT at the start of 2022, and finished the year with a world championship. LOUD pulled the best talent from Brazil together under one electric green banner, and found a rival wearing green themselves in OpTic Gaming. The two teams faced each other six times during the 2022 season, but LOUD got the last laugh in the upper bracket final and the grand final of Champions 2023.

• Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi
• Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro
• Erick “aspas” Santos
• Felipe “Less” Basso
• Matheus “bzkA” Tarasconi (coach)

Evil Geniuses’ championship run in 2023 is considered one of the miraculous runs in the history of esports. Coach Christine “potter” Chi started with a roster of lowly regarded players and added a completely unknown player from an open tryout mid-season. The North American team stunned the international audience with a grand finals run at Masters Tokyo, then knocked off Champions contenders like DRX, LOUD, and finally Paper Rex to win the world championship in front of a Los Angeles home crowd.

Riot Games’ expansion of the international VALORANT esports ecosystem into China couldn’t have gone any better for the region. EDward Gaming, after dominating the ******** scene again but falling short on the international stage, finally had their moment at Champions 2024. In Seoul, EDG went undefeated in playoffs, defeating Team Heretics in an amazing grand final, cementing Zheng “ZmjjKK” Yongkang as the top star of ******** VALORANT.

• Wan “CHICHOO” Shunzhi
• Wang “nobody” Senxu
• Zheng “ZmjjKK” Yongkang
• Zhang “Smoggy” Zhao
• Hsieh “S1Mon” Meng-hsun
• ***** “Muggle” Shijun (coach)

Across these four years of VALORANT, no team has accomplished the feat of winning both a Masters event and Champions. Only one player has accomplished this: Sacy, who won Champions 2022 with LOUD and Masters Madrid 2024 with Sentinels.
