David Lee/Riot GamesValorant has seen multiple stars and exciting international tournaments come out of its esports circuit, and a new team of all-time greats has just been crowned at Valorant Champions. Check out which teams & players have taken home Valorant’s biggest internationals here.
International Valorant Champions Tour tournaments are the pinnacle of the esport. Teams are always gunning to make VCT Masters or Valorant Champions every year to cement their legacy against international opponents, win prize money, and take home a trophy.
Valorant esports is still in its infancy compared to other top-tier competitive titles, like CS:GO and League of Legends. However, multiple teams have already managed to win international titles in the esport’s short life span as Riot Games has hosted several events across the world.
Valorant esports has gone through some changes due to the maturation of the competitive circuit and the introduction of its partnered leagues. Generally, teams have three chances to lift an international trophy within a calendar year, with two VCT Masters events and Valorant Champions to end the season.
And, though 2025 just kicked off, the grand final between T1 and G2 was a nail biter. But T1 just narrowly edged them out to take the Masters Bangkok title. Then, they didn’t even make it to Masters Toronto, with Paper Rex ultimately lifting their very first international trophy after years of stellar performances.
