Champions Tour 2023 has concluded for Valorant, with players taking home some of the highest earnings ever for a Valorant event. If you’re curious about the highest-earning Valorant pro players and teams, we’ve ranked them below for you.

Valorant pros across various regions of the world compete for the top spot, as Valorant’s esports scene continues to grow. While Valorant pros and streamers help set the Agent meta in the game, Riot introducing a new Agent every few months also shakes up the meta.

However, Valorant pros spend hours theory-crafting and practicing to adapt to the changes brought by the updates. Riot’s official events have awarded over $20 million since the esports scene took off in 2020, driving pros to bag the top spots.

With that said, here are the highest-earning Valorant pro players and teams, after the conclusion of VCT Champions 2023.

VCT events enable Valorant pro players to compete against teams across various regions.
