Top performers of VALORANT Champions 2025: Who ruled the leaderboards?

On the biggest global stage in VALORANT esports at VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Valorant Champions, many players impressed fans with their skill. While some didn’t make it all the way, they still left their mark in VALORANT history by showing up, making it onto the leaderboards, and etching their names into the legacy. The following are the players who showed up for their teams by fragging, dealing damage, and setting up their teammates for frags.

The following stats were taken from our Player Stats page with a minimum round filter of 300.

FBSR (First Blood Success Rate)

MIBR came to Paris as the Americas' fourth seed and exceeded expectations by taking down some of the biggest teams at the event. Leading the charge, Erick "aspas" Santos did everything he could to bring home the Champions trophy. Along the way, he topped several leaderboards — including First Blood Success Rate.

As a Duelist, gaining the first kill of the round puts your team at a significant advantage. aspas thrived in this role, ending with a FBSR of 73%. But he wasn’t alone, as both of his teammates, Andrew "Verno" Maust and Gabriel "cortezia" Cortez, also had standout performances, each ending with a 61% FBSR.

Right behind aspas was Kajetan "kaajak" Haremski from Fnatic, securing a 62% success rate and helping his team reach the Grand Final. His teammate Emir "Alfajer" Ali Beder rounded out the top five with a 56% FBSR, creating a significant gap between first and fifth place.

K/D (Kill/Death Ratio)

K/D is one of the clearest indicators of raw firepower, and once again, aspas dominated. He led the leaderboard with a K/D of 1.69, including a record-breaking 80/42 performance in a best-of-three series against NRG in the playoffs. While MIBR fell short in the second lower bracket round, aspas stood out as Paris’ strongest fragger.

The rest of the leaderboard wasn’t nearly as close. Much like the FBSR category, three of the top five K/D players are from MIBR. cortezia took second place at 1.28, while Verno held fourth with a 1.18 K/D, just behind kaajak’s 1.20.

Brock "brawk" Somerhalder, the MVP of Champs, showed his skill by making the most of his signature weapon — the Odin. He ended in fifth place at 1.17 K/D.

APR (Assists Per Round)

Kills aren't the only way to make an impact as some players shine by supporting their teammates. The Assists Per Round leaderboard showcases those who made a difference with their utility and teamplay.

Eduardo "xenom" Soeiro leads the pack with an APR of 0.47, showing up big for MIBR by enabling his teammates to secure frags. His teammate Arthur "artzin" Araujo also made the list at 0.37, being the last MIBR player to reach a leaderboard and proving MIBR’s success came from a full-team effort.

Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto, the IGL of Paper Rex, landed second with a 0.42 APR, combining leadership with utility-driven support. Right behind him was Ethan "Ethan" Arnold from NRG, also an IGL, matching that 0.42, and proving once again why he’s a two-time Champions winner. NRG’s Sam "s0m" Oh completed the list, known for hyping up his squad and his consistency on smokes, with a 0.37 APR.

Multikills

While dishing out frags is great, a fantastic stat that showcases a player's impact over the course of a round is multikills. These players showed that they didn't have enough after scoring a frag; they wanted more after each kill. This last top 5 shows players that were simply out for blood at the Paris event.

DRX' 19-year-old talent Cho "Flashback" Min-hyuk tops this leaderboard, being the only player at the Paris event to score over 100 multikills, at 103 to be exact. Fnatic's phenomenal rookie kaajak comes in second at 95 multikills while Flashback's teammate Hyunmin follows with a close 94 multikills scored.

Rounding out the list is none other than the Brazilian fragger and former Champions winner aspas at a respectable 86 multikills. Finally, kaajak's teammate Chronicle takes the fifth place with 77.

Conclusion

Even though they didn’t win it all, MIBR dominated the stats at Champions Paris. All five players made an appearance across multiple leaderboards, with aspas standing out as the top fragger of the tournament. NRG showed why they lifted the trophy as every player had a standout metric, showcasing balanced strength across the board.

Fnatic, despite finishing second, had fewer players represented statistically — perhaps edged out by PRX’s firepower and NRG’s team coordination. In the end, the numbers don’t lie and Champs Paris was a battleground of peak performance, and these players carved their names into the VALORANT history books.
