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 a leaderboard highlighting the top players worldwide based on
Average Combat Score (ACS) and
Kill:Death (K:D) Ratio as of
August 19.

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. Meanwhile, VCT Americas only kicked off on July 18.
Seven players on both rankings
This week, Francis "OXY" Hoang is, for the third time, leading the two rankings with a 292.8 average ACS and a 1.53 K:D. The Cloud9 player is having a great Split so far, and him leading both rankings for three weeks is an example of his performances.
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: OXY, Ibuki "Meiy" Seki, Teng "happywei" Min-wei, Zachary "zekken" Patrone, Wang “whzy” Haozhe and Marshall "N4RRATE" Massey.
When combining both leaderboards, VCT Americas, once again, emerges as the most represented region, with 4 players appearing on the ACS leaderboard and 5 players featured on the K:D one.
