5 Valorant NA Players who improved the Most in 2022
#5 – 100T Derrek and 100T Bang
Derrek is the clutch king. No doubt in line to become the next Hiko. He has carved his own path in Valorant and has the highest clutch percentage in NA. Derrek’s game sense, no non-sense aim, and utility usage get him the 5th spot on this list. Bang has been outstanding with his smokes, his aim is crisp and his game sense has helped 100T become the most improved team in NA.
#4 – The GUARD Trent
The Guard made a wave in the middle months of VCT when they qualified for a Master while defeating the Sentinels in LCQ. They were bested by 100T. Trent was the rising star who was the most influential in getting them these wins. Along with Sayaplayer and Jonah P, The Guard swept matches with their team coordination. Who does not remember their clean sweep against 100T when they went 13-0?
#3 – Marved, FNS, Crashies, and Victor
The former OpTic roster was legendary. They were always in the Top 3 of every tournament while dominating circuits and besting teams like DRX, Boom Esports, Team Liquid, and Xset. Marved was clutching and killing everyone on site, FNS was the definite strat caller, Crashies would find players, and Victor would kill them.
#2 – 100T Cryo and 100T Asuna
The firestarters of the 100T roster, Cryo and Asuna, show no signs of stopping as they recently demolished C9 in the Red Bull tournament. Cryo’s pickup was a blessing for 100T, while Asuna has not shown any signs of stopping. The VCT 2023 season is looking good for these two.
#1 – C9 Yay
El Diablo came into the year as a ranked demon but left as one of the most influential Valorant players of all time. Everyone loves him due to his match presence, big-game attitude, and humble nature. He just loves playing the game and wants to improve as much as he can. He expects better of himself every time he plays, which is why he has improved the most this year.
