Starting on August 31, Valorant Champions 2022 will include 16 deserving teams from all
across the world. The most intense rivalry this year will include the top-performing Valorant
rosters, and the fanbase is pumped to see.
Fans are speculating about how each club will fare in the forthcoming match as they wait for
August 31 to come. While some have shown incredible dominance and bravery, others have
the potential to demonstrate the impossibility. A specific format for Valorant Champions
2022 will include a group stage, a bracket stage, and then the finals. After the group stage,
eight underwhelming teams will be eliminated, with the remaining teams moving on to the
bracket stage.
Similar to the group stage, the bracket stage will similarly use a double-elimination system, with
teams competing in Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and then a Grand Final. As one can tell, there is a lot of
competition, therefore teams must work hard to get to the next round.
All-team rankings for Valorant Champions 2022
Now is the ideal time to study and speculatively predict the Champions 2022 champions, with 16
elite teams that each have astounding talent going up against each other in two weeks.
For the first stage, groupings were formed out of the competing teams. The following are the groups
and their teams:
Group A - EDward Gaming, Paper Rex, Leviatán,
Group B - BOOM Esports, OpTic Gaming, ZETA DIVISION, LOUD
Group C - FPX, XSET, KRÜ Esports, XERXIA
Group D - DRX, FURIA Esports, Fnatic, 100 Thieves
Each team at the Valorant Champions 2022 has earned their spot-on stage and given it their all.
Following is a list of the qualified teams, ranked according to their strength.
16) BOOM Esports
BOOM Esports won the APAC Last Chance Qualifiers to gain entrance for the Champions 2022. They
are a competitive force with great gun power and surprising techniques. Their complex and
confusing playstyle, nevertheless, could not be sufficient to overcome strong teams that play with
discipline.
BOOM defeated some of the top teams in APAC to secure their spot at the Champions. They have
the potential to shock the crowd at the future competition. However, they will go up against Paper
Rex, the most formidable rival in their own area.
15) Furia
Furia, one of the two South African teams to qualify for the Champions, got in through the Last
Chance Qualifiers. Furia battled hard to earn their place in the forthcoming competition against TBK
Esports in the SA LCQ.
However, they were unable to participate in any of the Masters tournaments this year because to a
lack of circuit points, thus this will be their first international competition of the year. They had also
used the LCQ to qualify for Valorant Champions 2021, although they had not given their best effort
at that time.
14) Zeta Division
Zeta Division entered the Valorant Champions 2022 by circuit points after becoming the best
Japanese roster. They had an outstanding performance in Stage 1 Challengers and Masters
Reykjavik, but Northception upset them in Stage 2 of Challengers, disqualifying them from Masters
Copenhagen.
Despite this, they were still able to earn enough points to secure a spot in Champions 2022. The Zeta
Division team has incredible tactical and shooting skills, but they will be playing Champions with a
sub. Therefore, it is unclear how they will fare in the upcoming tournament.
13) XSET
The victory by XSET in the VCT NA Challengers Stage 2 gave them some much-needed circuit points.
Many fans questioned their future in the VCT 2022 when they finished fourth in Stage 1. They did,
however, quickly demonstrate their value.
Nevertheless, the team's performance at the Masters Copenhagen wasn't particularly strong.
Despite the fact that they used circuit points to enter the Champions 2022, their most recent
performances don't look good in terms of power.
12) XERXIA
XERXIA, who qualified by circuit points, has proven to be quite strong in the Challengers phases of
VCT 2022. Additionally, they were eligible for the Copenhagen and Reykjavik Masters stages. As a
result, they have taken part in all VCT competitions this year, both national and worldwide.
Nevertheless, their performance on the global stage was, at most, passable. Since this is Xerxia's first
VCT, they could not have the expertise necessary to compete with the top teams, who have
previously shown tremendous potential in this field.
11) Leviatán
Leviatán, a young South American squad that performed well in the Challengers and Masters
Copenhagen, earned circuit points to qualify for the Champions 2022. They qualified for the
Champions 2022 tournament thanks to their remarkably effective aggressive tactics and gunplay.
The first international LAN they participated in was Masters Copenhagen. It might be difficult for the
best squad in LATAM to do well given their lack of experience competing internationally.
10) EDward Gaming
China's first participation in an international Valorant event was made by EDward Gaming through
the East Asia Last Chance Qualifiers. As can be seen from their dominance against the other EA
teams in the Last Chance Qualifiers, their lineup has a tonne of potential.
However, Champions 2022 will be their debut appearance at a global LAN event. It could be difficult
for beginners to compete against the toughest competitors from around the world.
9) The 100 Thieves
In the Last Chance Qualifiers, 100 Thieves defeated some of the fiercest NA rivals to earn a well-
deserved wild card into the Valorant Champions 2022. The lineup stunned observers with their
blatant plan during the former NA LCQ, despite not performing at their best in earlier VCT stages.
However, since the VCT Masters Stage 3 Berlin in 2021, 100 Thieves have not taken part in a global
competition. Although the roster has incredible potential and the strength to compete with the
majority of its opponents, the odds may not be in the team's favour to win the championship.
8) DRX
This year, DRX won two Challengers competitions and as a result, qualified for both the Reykjavik
and Copenhagen Masters. To the dismay of many of their supporters, they finished sixth in both
Masters events.
As anticipated, DRX earned circuit points to enter the Champions, and they have the talent to
completely smash their rivals. However, their consistently poor performance at the international
competition has made many of its supporters question their future.
7) KRÜ Esports
KRÜ performed admirably in VCT 2021 and made it to both Masters stages this year, but they were
unable to deliver in Masters Reykjavik and Copenhagen. The team had to rely on Last Chance
Qualifiers because it was unable to earn enough circuit points to qualify for Valorant Champions
2022. Nevertheless, they were able to qualify for the Valorant Champions 2022 after defeating Furia
in the SA LCQ Upper Bracket Final.
6) Team Liquid
In the EMEA LCQ, Team Liquid defeated M3 Champions, and as a result, they earned their trip to
Istanbul this year. The well-liked Valorant team has been incredibly consistent in previous LCQ
games, giving fans a lot of hope.
The lineup failed to earn enough circuit points with a dismal showing at Masters Reykjavk and a poor
showing in Challengers Stage 2. Although they made up for it with the LCQ, Team Liquid doesn't
appear to be powerful enough to win the competition.
5) LOUD
Based on circuit points, the beast from Brazil known as LOUD qualified for Valorant Champions 2022.
They performed admirably at Masters Reykjavk but fell short in Masters Copenhagen. They will be
among the top competitors in Champions 2022, nevertheless. Five of the best but underappreciated
players on the circuit are on the roster of LOUD. It would be fascinating to watch the new team
compete against the experienced players at the next Valorant Champions.
4) Fnatic
One of the greatest Valorant rosters in EMEA is hosted by Fnatic, which develops players like
Boaster, Derke, and Enzo who appear to have no trouble doing the impossible. However, they did
well throughout VCT 2022, which allowed them to easily qualify for this year's Valorant Champions.
Nevertheless, they will be up against some of the strongest rivals from around the globe in the form
of OpTiC Gaming, FPX, and PRX. It won't be simple to defeat these teams, but Fnatic have the
potential in their current state.
3) OpTic Gaming
OpTic Gaming, the current North American champion, has established itself as having one of the
best Valor rosters in the entire world. Despite being third on the list in terms of strength, they have a
great chance of winning the trophy this year.
The team maintained a high level of consistency in VCT 2022, taking first place in Masters Reykjavk
and third place at Masters Copenhagen.
2) Paper Rex
Paper Rex qualified for both Masters tournaments after dominating the Challengers stage with a
fourth-place finish in Reykjavik and a second-place finish in Copenhagen. They are one of the circuit's
most aggressive Valorant teams. The tactics used by PRX force rivals to alter their plans and exercise
patience as they are pushed outside of their comfort zones.
The team PRX is unquestionably one of the most promising and has the courage to win the
championship this year.
1)FunPlus Phoenix
The strategic executions of FunPlus Phoenix have demonstrated true domination thanks to their
flawless blend of patience and ferocity. The team not only possesses overwhelming firepower, but
they can also use mind tricks to knock their adversaries to their knees.
FPX is without a doubt the most powerful competitor in Valorant Champions 2022 and occupies the
top spot on this ranking in terms of power.
