The Valorant Champions Tour 2021 is now over, and many players have won some serious cash prizes. Since Valorant launched in the summer of 2020, the competition and struggle have grown. With this struggle, Valorant Esports players also started to earn six-figure money.
High-paying players are what we usually describe as superstars. And thanks to their legendary games, they always lead their team to victory. If you are ready now, let's take a quick look at the details of our article. And let's view the players who made the most money from Valorant in 2022.
A Quick Look at Valorant's Top Winners
We can say that since Riot Games conceived the highly competitive nature of Valorant, it has brought the movement to the Esports industry. Especially players who could not find what they wanted in other competitive games started to enter the Valorant World. Even with Valorant, many players left CSGO and joined the competitive world of Valorant.
After the VCT Masters events held in Reykjavik and Berlin, the biggest tournament in the game, VCT 2021, was held. Multi-million dollar teams and players took part in the series of tournaments organized together with Challengers, Masters, and VCT.
Among the teams, the Sentinels are leading the way in terms of earnings. The total amount won from Valorant Tournaments has exceeded 12 million dollars. Now let's take a closer look at the earnings of players and teams.
Also, would you like to have detailed information about these earnings? We have prepared an article on whether the sponsors prefer Esports or my traditional sports. You may want to take a look.
Top 20 Top Earning Valorant Pros
Looking at individual earnings, the Sentinels and their four players occupied the list of top earners for a long time. However, Turkish Jett star Mehmet Yağız 'cNed' İpek quickly entered the top 5 after winning the VCT 2021 Championship with Acend. You can bet on cNed if you think he's worth this crazy salary or any of the other players by following their team’s matches.
The dominance of the North American players on the list is losing its effect day by day. With VCT 2022, serious changes may occur in our table. Don't forget to follow and check from time to time.

The number of EMEA in the player table is quite high. This may be because the most followers in terms of the audience are in Europe. In any case, North American players are still at the top of the list. We think that there will be big changes in the table with VCT 2022. The ranking will likely change in favor of EMEA players.
