Best Valorant Players to Watch in 2024

1. Max “Demon1” Mazanov

Demon1 is like the modern algorithm of mainstream social media platforms. How is that you wonder? Well, ask his organization EG how they managed to keep him as their best-kept secret until they unleashed him to devour all his opposition like a beast that has starved for recognition and respect for years. And boy did he earn that in Champions 2023!

His inclusion on the EG roster in mid-tournament ignited such an ascending spree for the org they took off to never look back. Champions 2023 bore witness to an amazing triumphing run from this NA organization and it is hard not to accredit Demon1 for his world-class contribution.

Call him mechanically gifted, call him the S1mple of Valorant, as a matter of fact, you can call him an absolute demon too which his name suggests. Regardless of what the crowd’s impression is, Demon1 knows one thing and he’s here to do that – hunt like a madman. And you can rest assured, once the hunt nears its end he’ll beckon death upon his victims.

Whether it be the Jett kunai, the most reliable rifles, the much-coveted operator, or the heavy-hitting Sherrif – this man is a trained veteran who flourishes regardless of the tools at his disposal. But that’s not all, much to everyone’s surprise he can propel at the role of a controller with excellence as well!

2. Erick “Aspas” Santos

Aspas has more than proved himself throughout the years with his stellar performance and consistency at LOUD. When it comes to taking the mantle as Jett, Raze, and Chamber, Aspas was a household name who sent chills down the spine of even the biggest goliaths of the scene. At any given match he would create such a presence and a sense of threat to the opposition that even the tiniest imperfection from the enemy’s execution would go on being heavily penalized.

He has survived numerous team and coaching changes to remain a consistently remarkable player. His track record and portfolio do the speaking for him and when on the server he prefers to shoot fearlessly and mercilessly with immaculate excellence. His micro-decision making has been outstanding throughout his career and has only gotten better recently which helped LOUD secure a top 4 position in Champions 2023. Be it ACS, first-kill-per-round, KAST, and K/D he tops the chart in all areas with no sign of stopping.

3. Leo “Leo” Jannesson

His immaculate proficiency as an initiator has got him the eyesight of casual consumers and veteran analysts alike. Leo pulled himself up toward greatness with sheer skills and efficient game mastery and is currently topping the charts in many aspects of the game. He is a much-treasured prospect for any esports org due to his stone-like perseverance and calmness in situations of stress, frag potential, and world-class game sense.

His recognition in the LOCK//IN as the Gand Finals MVP 2023 is a testament to his firepower and limitless potential as a player. He shocked the world with his stellar consistency in that tournament by meticulously winning the most amount of clutches, a praise-worthy multi-kill rounds record, ranking third in terms of K/D, and a remarkable KAST stat. Also, note that he came second in the least-death count table. Fnatic’s outstanding win against LOUD in the grand final has a lot to do with his masterful contribution.

4. Emir “Alfajer” Beder

Despite Being only 18, Emir “Alfajer” Beder claimed the throne of greatness on a team that consisted of household names like Leo, Boaster, Chronicles, and Derke – this goes on to show the talent and discipline this individual possesses as an esports athlete. He bagged the MVP award at the VCT EMEA 2023 and if nurtured correctly, he will propel towards winning more.

Furthermore, Alfajer being rewarded the best sentinel award too should come as no surprise. He was an absolute menace with the rifle but did you notice that his defensive setup made the looming attackers fear and tremble trying to speculate which site he has positioned himself in this time around? Exactly this was the extent of his dominance regardless of the sentinel agent he played

5. Ilya “something” Petrov

Ilya “something” Petrov quickly rose to fame and recognition when he joined Paper Rex last year after solidifying himself as a seasoned pro in Japan. This Russian star after joining his current org won the hearts of all by elevating the team’s defensive and offensive capacity by a whole degree.

Like our revered and treasured Demon1, something too is scary with Jett. But while playing Reyna and Breach, he doesn’t shake before sending one to oblivion either. His understanding and mastery of the soul-devouring agent Reyna created such interesting dynamics in the Roster that it led to the meta being shifted and adjusted to comply with this new threat in town.
