DOINKMACHINE97 Claims #1 Spot in NA VALORANT Leaderboard
Cloud9’s Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, who previously held the top position on the NA VALORANT leaderboard, has been overtaken by DOINKMACHINE97.
Riot recently unveiled the current ranked leaderboards, showcasing the top 100 players in the scene. Surprisingly, the coveted #1 spot is now occupied by DOINKMACHINE97, rather than well-known pros like TenZ, Gen.G’s Shawn O’Riley, or 100 Thieves’ Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk.
Interestingly, DOINKMACHINE97 appears to have a YouTube channel named “poiz,” and another account secured the 8th spot on the list. JLEET rounds out the top three, but there are many other notable names on the leaderboard as well.
Among the top 10 players are Built By Gamers’ Will Cheng and Joseph “bjor” Bjorklund, as well as Dignitas’ Phat “supamen” Le and Elevate Exalt. Sentinels’ Hunter “SicK” Mims claimed the 12th spot, while Envy’s Austin “crashies” Roberts, Pujan “FNS” Mehta, and Victor “food” Wong secured positions 31, 36, and 37, respectively. 100 Thieves’ captain Spencer “Hiko” Martin sits at No. 87.
It’s important to note that the leaderboards are not finalized as there are still over 50 days remaining in Act III. With professional teams dedicating time to practice and scrimmaging for the upcoming First Strike event in December, it’s likely that more players will climb the ranks in the coming weeks.
