The first stage of VCT 2025 has concluded, resulting in a global ranking of players with the highest kill-to-death (K/D) ratio. The list includes the top representatives from all VCT regions who have played at least 100 rounds—from EMEA to the Americas and Asia . This makes the ranking highly objective and a clear reflection of individual player skill worldwide.

The absolute leader is kaajak from Fnatic , with a 1.38 K/D. His confident and consistent gameplay not only helped the team advance to the playoffs through the Grand Final of VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1 but also made him the player with the highest K/D across all regions.

The complete global top-10:

kaajak — 1.38
aspas — 1.35
lukxo — 1.34
slowly — 1.32
marteen — 1.31
Cryocells — 1.31
Jemkin — 1.30
Rarga — 1.29
vo0kashu — 1.29
Flashback — 1.29

In cases of tied K/D ratios, priority was given to players with a higher ACS (average combat score). This approach allows for an assessment of not just effectiveness, but also the contribution to the outcome of each round.

The results of Stage 1 have shown how intense and competitive international Valorant has become. kaajak and the other top-10 participants have set a high standard for the entire season. Onward to VCT 2025: Masters Toronto!
