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 12.

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 five best-of-three series. Meanwhile, VCT Americas only kicked off on July 18, with each team playing four series so far.
Seven players on both rankings
This week, Francis "OXY" Hoang reclaims his two thrones as he is leading both the ACS standings with a 287.5 score and the K:D one with a 1.59 average. This is the second time that the American player has topped both rankings, having already achieved this feat during the week of July 22.
Several players appear on both leaderboards — which makes sense, as high ACS and a strong K:D ratio often correlate. This week, seven players feature on both rankings: OXY, Ibuki "Meiy" Seki, Teng "happywei" Min-wei, Zachary "zekken" Patrone, Wang “whzy” Haozhe, Uğur "Ruxic" Güç and Georgio "keiko" Sanassy.
When combining both leaderboards, VCT Americas, once again, emerges as the most represented region, with 3 players appearing on the ACS leaderboard and 4 players featured on the K:D one.
