The Best Valorant Teams of All Time – 2025 Update

Valorant has seen several dynasties rise and fall since the launch of the Valorant Champions Tour in 2021. From dominant runs at international Masters events to back-to-back wins, a handful of teams have carved out their place in history. Based on trophies, consistency, and overall impact on the game, here are the five best Valorant teams of all time — and why they deserve their spot.

Fnatic

Fnatic’s 2023 season was historic. They became the first and only team to win back-to-back international trophies, claiming both LOCK//IN São Paulo and Masters Tokyo in dominant fashion. At Tokyo, they looked untouchable, beating out the best from every region. Although their run at Champions 2023 ended in the semifinals, finishing top four still cemented them as one of the most consistent teams of the year. While they have continued winning regional events, their best finish since Tokyo has been 2nd place internationally, but the team still has 3/5 members of the 2023 lineup.

Fnatic’s combination of tactical depth, consistency across multiple metas, and composure under pressure (as evidenced by their LOCK//IN win) makes their 2023 roster one of the greatest Valorant squads ever assembled.

Paper Rex

Paper Rex has been one of the most explosive teams in the Pacific region, consistently qualifying for international events — every global event ever held, apart from this year’s Masters Bangkok. They had finished 2nd at Masters Copenhagen in 2022, 3rd at Masters Tokyo 2023 with a sub, 2nd at Champions 2023, and 3rd at Masters Madrid, making them the team with the most podium finishes but without a trophy. That was until 2025, when they finally won at Masters Toronto. With the team having also won multiple VCT Pacific trophies, they’re definitely a contender for the best Valorant team of all time; a dynasty.

OpTic Gaming

OpTic’s 2022 campaign was a model of consistency. They reached the top three at every international event that year, including a victory at Masters Reykjavik, a runner-up finish at Champions, and a third-place finish at Masters Copenhagen. No other team in VCT history before or since has matched their level of sustained excellence across three different global stages.

Their adaptability across metas, sharp mid-round calling, and the raw firepower of stars like yay during the oppressive Chamber meta of 2022 made OpTic a team that could contend with anyone, anywhere. Unfortunately, after OpTic wasn’t picked as a partner for the VCT Americas league, the core of the team was signed by NRG but failed to see success after the Chamber meta faded away.

Evil Geniuses

Evil Geniuses had a breakout year in 2023, capped by winning Valorant Champions Los Angeles. They started the year rough, even losing 13-0 in a regional game, with their coach Potter catching a lot of flak as a result. However, ahead of Champions, they made a roster change, bringing rookie Demon1 into the team. They made back-to-back grand Ffnals, first at Masters Tokyo and then at Champions, winning the latter despite barely making it in the first place.

The team has lost most of the 2023 roster since, but individuals like jawgemo, now on G2, continue to demonstrate why this team was so dangerous despite being an underdog.

LOUD

LOUD’s story is one of peaks and resilience. They reached two grand finals in 2022, including a runner-up finish at Masters Reykjavik where they lost to OpTic, setting up one of the greatest VCT rivalries, before falling short in groups at Masters Copenhagen. However, their defining moment came at Valorant Champions Istanbul, where they lifted the trophy and brought Brazil its first global Valorant title.

What sets LOUD apart is the way they won Champions. Unlike other teams that relied heavily on the Chamber meta, LOUD innovated and thrived throu

gh versatility, with the 2022 grand finals being an incredible showcase of excellent preparation against, once again, OpTic. Their ability to adapt under pressure and play their own style made their title win one of the most memorable in VCT history, also cementing the team’s star duelist aspas as one of the best Valorant players of all time. However, since then, LOUD has lost the members of this roster to other teams and has not reached the same heights.

Gen.G

Gen.G’s 2024 run is one of the most consistent seasons Valorant has ever seen. Out of six possible Grand Finals that year (three international and three Pacific), they made five, a staggering display of reliability and form. Of these five, they won Pacific Kickoff and Stage 1, and claimed Pacific’s first Masters trophy at Shanghai after a second-place finish at Madrid, proving they could win in hostile environments.

Gen.G’s ability to reach nearly every final in 2024 shows a level of dominance and steadiness rarely matched in Valorant’s short history. Overall, they won a Masters, placed 2nd at another, came first in 2/3 regional tournaments, and second in the other. However, despite the roster maintaining its core, 2025 has been rocky in comparison.

Best VALORANT Teams of All Time: Honorable Mention

Sentinels were Valorant’s first great dynasty, winning Masters Reykjavik 2021 and more recently Masters Madrid 2024, albeit with almost completely different rosters — the reason why they aren’t in the above list. Only superstar TenZ was present for both wins.

The history of Valorant is still relatively young, but these teams have already left an indelible mark in VCT history with some of the most incredible stories. The coming years will only add new chapters to the evolving legacy of both these teams and the game.
