Riot Games Valorant has been making some fast growth since its release two years ago. With a budding esports scene that is already creating some big names, the game will go far.
Due to the huge hype around the release, teams were actually being formed before its release. Because of this kickstart to the game, competitions started shortly after the release. This has never been done before in the world of esports.
With a huge number of professional Valorant teams in 2022, let's look at the best and most successful of them. We will look over their history, awards and more.
