- The top 10 players from Champions 2025
- Aspas led the pack, the sole Brazilian in the highest tier.
- Cortezia appeared later, securing 14th place.
The VALORANT Champions 2025 tournament, a global showcase for the tactical shooter, wrapped up this past Sunday, the 5th. As the dust settles on another intense competition, the esports world is buzzing about individual player performances. It’s always fascinating to see who truly rises to the occasion when everything is on the line.
On the grand stage of Riot Games’ premier First Person Shooter (FPS) event, not everyone can truly sparkle. Yet, one player stood head and shoulders above the rest. Brazil’s own Erick “Aspas” Santos delivered a performance that was simply unparalleled. Statistically, he was undeniably the top performer, leaving his competition in the rearview mirror.
Breaking Down the Stats
The data, meticulously collected by the folks at VLR.gg, paints a clear picture. Aspas claimed the number one spot with an impressive 1.33 rating. This wasn’t just a narrow victory; he was a significant 0.16 points ahead of the second-place player, Enes “RieNs” Ecirli from Team Heretics. Such a gap highlights just how dominant Aspas was throughout the championship.
While individual brilliance often gets the spotlight, team synergy is what wins championships. Even within the victorious squad, some players still managed to stand out individually. Brock “brawk” Somerhalder earned the coveted Most Valuable Player title. His teammate, Logan “skuba” Jenkins, also made a strong showing. It’s a testament to their talent that they excelled even amidst a team effort. Another Brazilian talent, Gabriel “cortezia” Cortez, secured 14th place on the overall player rankings. His performance further underscores the depth of skill emerging from the region.
