The Best Valorant Players of 2021

1-7

These players have given us the most excitement this year and are an inspiration to many in the Valorant community.

Szymon Bielawski Szymon Bielawski
Valorant - December 29th 2021, 09:11 GMT+1
Tyson Tenz Best Of 2021

Tyson "TenZ" Ngo (Sentinels)

This gentleman needs no introduction. TenZ is probably Valorant's biggest star right now and a player who will always be important to the community. He's one of the most dedicated players, and everyone loves him! Those interested in eSports admire his outstanding Jett skills, and those with a more casual approach to the game appreciate him for his personality. Despite his plans to focus on streaming and content creation, we truly hope to see him at VCT 2022. | © VCT

Zeek acend best of 2021

Aleksander "zeek" Zygmunt (Acend)

It's pretty amazing that zeek was actually one of the least noticed players until Champions, where he was named the MVP (Most valuable player) of the entire event. After what he did there, everyone was like, "Hey, he's actually pretty good", even though it was obvious for a long time if you look at his performance at previous tournaments. In fact, he was one of the most consistent players of 2021, and that's also why we gave him more attention in the last Valorant Player of the Month article of this year: Valorant Player of the Month, December 2021: zeek | © VCT

Delz1k millenium

Joaquín Ignacio "delz1k" Espinoza Soto (KRÜ Esports)

Add a "del" in before the name of the previous player in this gallery, and you have perhaps the best player from the South America region. Although his team hasn't had many international successes, it seems to be getting closer to that with each tournament. All of KRÜ Esports is playing at a superb level compared to other SA teams, but yet he is the one providing us with the most shiny plays and clutches. We analyzed one of his clutches in our 200 IQ Play Analysis series, so be sure to check it out, such plays don't happen every day: Delz1k 200IQ Play Analysis | © Riot Games

Vision Strikers Stax 2021

Kim "stax" Gu-taek (Vision Strikers)

Let's give a little APAC touch to this gallery. Kim "stax" Gu-taek is the absolute star of Korean Valorant, and even though European/NA fans don't follow the scene very closely, we assure you that this guy is really worth your attention. He was the one who shined the most out of the entire team while doing that famous 104-0 streak, and it really feels like he is the driving force behind the team. Stax is one of the most consistent APAC players and also likes to trash-talk a bit; for example, he recently said that Fnatic is "lucky to qualify for Champions". It may not be the most elegant thing to say to your potential opponent, but it does add a bit of emotional weight to the scene, and the community loves it. | © VCT

Nats best of 2021

Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin (Gambit Esports)

And this guy is nuts. As much as we enjoyed how Acend played out the Grand Final of the Valorant Champions tournament, we feel kind of sorry for him that he couldn't hold the winning trophy. He really gave us a lot of excitement this year and gave the EMEA region something to be proud of, plus a little proof that the EU is not inferior to the NA. But honestly, if he continues to be this consistent, we are sure that one of the VCT seasons will belong to his team. | © VCT

Valorant Scream 2021

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom (Liquid)

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, also known as the "headshot machine", has given Valorant eSports a lot of excitement this year. Many fans have had high expectations for him, mainly because of his legendary CS:GO career, and he has definitely lived up to them. Moreover, ScreaM has brought his brother (Nivera) into Liquid, strengthening the team and the entire EMEA scene. But still, many people associate him just for his magic aim, and if you want to know what gear he uses to achieve such perfect accuracy, check out this article: ScreaM Valorant Settings & Gear | © VCT

Hiko VCT 2021

Spencer "Hiko" Martin (100Thieves)

This list wouldn't be complete without him. Hiko is an absolute certified clutch master, and no one can deny that. We don't know how he does it, but even when he stays against the entire opposing team, everyone feels that the round is still far from over. And if you don't know him, make up for it by checking out one of our 200IQ Play Analysis videos, where we analyze his arguably most famous clutch: Everyone can clutch! | Valorant 200IQ Play Analysis: Hiko Clutching | © VCT
