Valorant Champions stage

The Valorant Champions Tour has been running for three years at this point and has seen many players step onto the international stage and showcase their skills. Here is a list of the 20 Valorant players that have racked up the most kills at the international level.

There have been nine VCT international tournaments since Riot began hosting LAN tournaments in Valorant esports, with only a select few having trophies to their names.

Across all nine tournaments, some have stood out as incredible players capable of putting up outstanding fragging numbers.

Dexerto has compiled a list of the 20 players who have racked up the most kills in VCT history. The tournaments included are all VCT Masters and Valorant Champions events, as well as VCT LOCK//IN 2023.

Valorant players with the most kills at VCT events – Updated August 26

Player Kills
Victor 1,655
yay 1,653
Derke 1,638
crashies 1,618
BuZz 1,587
MaKo 1,473
Rb 1,385
aspas 1,383
stax 1,382
FNS 1,334
Less 1,278
Marved 1,277
ardiis 1,227
Saadhak 1,216
Boaster 1,211
Jinggg 1,130
f0rsakeN 1,123
Chronicle 1,088
Alfajer 1,083
Zest 1,070

None of these names should come as a surprise to Valorant fans as they should recognize these players from their deep runs and championship-winning moments from the past three years.

Players with the fewest tournament appearances who still made the top 20 include Marved, ardiis, Shao, Zyppan, and Chronicle. They have managed to put up enough frags to make the list despite attending only five global events – three fewer than some of the other names in the top 20.

Fnatic Derke VCT Masters Tokyo
Derke will have to wait until 2024 to take the top spot in the ranking

Nikita ‘Derke’ Sirmitev came close to moving up to the top of the list before Fnatic lost to LOUD in the Valorant Champions 2023 lower bracket. He is only 17 frags away from the top spot, which is occupied by NRG’s Victor ‘Victor’ Wong. 

yay has managed to keep his place in the top five despite missing two VCT tournaments in 2023. The former Cloud9 player had until recently the highest number of frags at the international level, and he still holds the record for most kills at a global Valorant tournament after racking up 460 frags at Valorant Champions 2022.

This list will be updated as more VCT events are held and players continue to rack up kills.
