The best coming out of VALORANT Champions

VALORANT Champions 2026 came to an end last weekend, with LOUD defeating Team Vitality in the grand final. The tournament brought the VCT season to a close, giving the worldâs best players a chance to shine. While several new faces reached the pinnacle of competition, others maintained the high standards they have set over recent years, once again proving their consistency.
To wrap up this exceptional tournament following a busy few days of news surrounding the partnership programme, Sheep Esports presents its All-Pro Team, featuring the competitionâs best players. With a maximum of two players per team and each player selected according to their role, the goal is to build the most realistic lineup possible.
Roberto âerdeâ Lobos (LOUD)
Crowned Champions MVP after winning the grand final, erde lived up to all the expectations placed on him. Despite being just 18 years old and in his rookie season, he excelled in his in-game leader role throughout the tournament while maintaining one of the competitionâs strongest individual performances. He recorded the highest rating (1.27) and average damage per round (158.8) during the playoffs, all while proving particularly effective on Sage and Omen when deployed in a Controller role.
Lucca âlukxoâ Travaioli (LOUD)
The worldâs best Chamber player left his mark on the tournament in his first-ever Champions appearance. Making the most of his agentâs strengths, he repeatedly showcased his individual talent, finishing the competition with the highest overall rating (1.22), the best ACS (244) and the highest K ratio (1.41). He also maintained the same level of performance on Yoru, despite playing a different role. Had he been slightly more impressive in the grand final, he might even have taken home the Champions MVP award.
Ètefan âSayonaraâ MĂźtcu (Team Vitality)
Team Vitalityâs Moldovan rookie was another standout performer among the new faces who made their debuts this season. In several matches, his individual plays led the way for his team, even in the most difficult circumstances. Although he had occasionally been criticised for struggling under pressure earlier in the season, that did not appear to affect him in Vitalityâs final two matches against 100 Thieves and LOUD. Having entered the season as one of the most highly anticipated prospects, he can now make a strong case for being the best Initiator in the world, despite fierce competition.
TimothĂ©e âTimotinoâ Lavigne Dupont (100 Thieves)
Another rookie who grew stronger as the season progressed, Timotino delivered an outstanding campaign in his first Champions appearance. He is now among the leading candidates for the title of the worldâs best Neon player. At this tournament, he was arguably surpassed in that regard only by Enzo âtkzinâ Zimiani, while his individual performances helped 100 Thieves secure third place. He even gave everything he had to try to reach the grand final in his teamâs last series, but it ultimately proved insufficient.
Elias âJamppiâ Olkkonen (Team Vitality)
Team Vitalityâs captain made an impressive return to Champions, having last competed at the tournament in 2023. In a flex role that saw him alternate between Initiator and secondary Duelist, the Finnish player delivered several standout performances, particularly in clutch situations. He recorded the highest success rate in such scenarios during the playoffs, at 28%. He also excelled in his in-game leader duties while maintaining his individual effectiveness.
