Top VALORANT Players to Watch at Champions 2022
The Champions 2022, the biggest VALORANT tournament of the year, is about to begin. Most fans are excited to witness the clash between 100 Thieves, Fnatic, and OpTic Gaming, the Masters One winners, as they compete for the ultimate prize.
However, there are several VALORANT players and teams who, either as underdogs or making their international debut, are returning to the big stage. These players deserve recognition, especially in English coverage, as they have the potential to shine and make their mark at Champions 2022.
Famouz
Famouz is the star player of BOOM Esports, one of the teams making their international debut at Champions. Despite being a sub for the squad, Famouz has consistently proven himself as one of the best players on the team. He consistently performs well, even when not playing agents with high kill potential. In fact, Famouz has out-fragged BOOM’s standout player, BerserX, on multiple occasions. The only thing holding Famouz back from making a huge impact at the tournament is BOOM’s lack of international experience. The team has often come in second or third place in their region and narrowly missed out on international events in the past. Famouz will need strong mental fortitude to carry himself through his first international LAN tournament.
ZmjjKK
The Chinese VALORANT scene has been a secret to the rest of the world until now. EDward Gaming, with their perfect record in the East Asia LCQ, has proven that Chinese VALORANT is a force to be reckoned with. ZmjjKK, EDward Gaming’s Chamber player, is a young talent at just 18 years old. He started off as a Jett player but has since excelled in playing Chamber. With an impressive average ACS of 291 on the agent, ZmjjKK is definitely a player to keep an eye on during Champions 2022.
Tacolilla
Representing Latin America at Champions, Leviatán is known for their chaotic and unpredictable playstyle. Tacolilla, the team’s Chamber player, thrives in this environment. He specializes in playing Chamber and goes all out in his plays. Leviatán’s recent match against Fnatic went the distance, showcasing their potential. Tacolilla’s sniping skills will be on display, and he is ready to make headshots out of thin air at Champions 2022.
SugarZ3ro
SugarZ3ro from ZETA Division is a well-known player in the Japanese VALORANT scene. He plays the smokes role to perfection, reading his opponents’ plays with precision and excelling in clutch scenarios. Despite facing a rough patch during Stage Two of the 2022 VCT, SugarZ3ro’s skills on Viper make him one of the best in the world on the agent. Keep an eye on his performance at Champions 2022.
Dimasick
Dimasick, a player from Team Liquid, has a remarkable background in professional VALORANT. Previously a CS:GO player, he joined FPX’s roster in 2021 before finding his way to Liquid. Dimasick may not be the flashiest player, but his consistency and versatility in playing different agents like Sage, Omen, Brimstone, and Sova make him an important part of Liquid’s lineup. Watch out for his steady performances at Champions 2022.
It’s time to get ready for an action-packed tournament as these talented players take the stage at Champions 2022. Don’t miss the excitement!
