Stage 2 of the VALORANT Champions Tour is now underway across all major regions: VCT EMEA, VCT Pacific, VCT Americas, and VCT China. While some leagues are further along than others, Riot Games has released an early leaderboard highlighting the top players worldwide based on Average Combat Score (ACS) and Kill:Death (K:D) Ratio as of August 5.

It's important to note that the number of games played varies between regions, which naturally impacts both player statistics and the ability to fairly compare them. For example, VCT China resumed as early as July 3, with teams having already played three best-of-three series. Meanwhile, VCT Americas only kicked off on July 18, with each team playing just one series so far.

This week, we have a new leader for the ACS standings with DetonatioN FocusMe's Ibuki "Meiy" Seki and his 280.2 average ACS in the VCT Pacific. Team Liquid player Georgio "keiko" Sanassy keeps the first spot of the K:D standings with a 1.53 average in the VCT EMEA. Several players appear on both leaderboards — which makes sense, as high ACS and a strong K:D ratio often correlate. This week, six players feature on both rankings: Meiy, Francis "OXY" Hoang, Marshall "N4RRATE" Massey, Wang “whzy” Haozhe, Hazem "avez" Khaled and keiko.

When combining both leaderboards, VCT Americas, once again, emerges as the most represented region, with 2 players appearing on the ACS leaderboard and 5 players featured on the K:D one.
