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 July 22.

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.

Several players appear on both leaderboards — which makes sense, as high ACS and a strong K:D ratio often correlate. Francis "OXY" Hoang leads both categories, with an ACS of 337.5 and a K:D of 2.10. Other names featured on both rankings including Erick "Xeppaa" Bach, Georgio "keiko" Sanassy, and Angelo "keznit" Mori. Cloud9 is heavily present in those rankings with all of its players appearing in the K:D rankings and two in the ACS one. The players were able to show impressive stats after a 2-0 (13-5 / 13-4) win over FURIA in their first match of stage 2.

When combining both leaderboards, VCT Americas emerges as the most represented region, with: 7 players appearing on the K:D leaderboard and 3 players featured on the ACS leaderboard.
