The Best Players of the 2022 NA VCT Challengers Two Group Stage
The North American VALORANT Champions Tour is the home of the best players in the rising esport. The region has already taken home two out of three international VCT Masters event trophies, and the Masters participants have been battle-tested in the grueling regional Challengers stages.
Stage Two of the 2022 NA VCT campaign includes teams from the previous stage as well as newcomers like TSM, FaZe, and Ghost Gaming. This stage is significant as it offers a chance to qualify for Masters Copenhagen, earn VCT circuit points crucial for a run at Champions, and possibly make a case for inclusion in the franchising model in 2023.
Several players have already stepped up in this high-stakes tournament. Let’s take a look at the statistical leaders of the 2022 NA VCT Challengers Two main event for the entire group stage.
