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 29.

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.

Again, Francis "OXY" Hoang leads the ACS Standings this week, with an average of 297. Georgio "keiko" Sanassy tops the K:D standings this week with a 1.75 average. Several players appear on both leaderboards — which makes sense, as high ACS and a strong K:D ratio often correlate. By this way, keiko, OXY, Ibuki "Meiy" Seki, and Teng "happywei" Min-wei feature on both rankings.

When combining both leaderboards, VCT Americas, once again, emerges as the most represented region, with 3 players appearing on the ACS leaderboard and 5 players featured on the K:D one.

ACS
EMEA - 3 Players (keiko, Derke, kovaQ)
China - 2 Players (happywei, Kai)
Americas - 3 Players (OXY, zekken, Asuna)
