VALO2ASIA Awards 2025

Categories

1 APAC is defined as the combination of VCT CN and Pacific.

The VALO2ASIA Awards 2025 honors the players who defined another unforgettable year of competitive VALORANT in Asia-Pacific.

From international champions to rising stars, our annual awards bring together voices from across the region, fans, casters, analysts, and industry figures, to celebrate excellence, passion, and impact on and off the server.

Each year, a judging panel featuring representatives from both VCT Pacific and VCT CN collaborates to identify the Top 20 APAC Players of the Year. Every judge submits their votes, and the combined results shape the final list along with several sub-categories.

The recipients are selected through a thorough assessment of their performances throughout the season, with each player receiving a specially crafted plaque engraved with their name.

Now in its fifth year, the VALO2ASIA Awards continue to serve as a platform that amplifies the stories and achievements of those who have elevated the game in the Asia-Pacific region.

The VALO2ASIA Awards 2025 is brought to you by Pulsar Gaming Gears.

The Panel of Judges

A total of 49 invited judges will take part in voting for the Top 20 Players of the Year and the Rookies of the Year categories, and you, the community, complete the panel as the 50th judge through the People’s Choice category.

To ensure fairness and quality of evaluation, Game Changers and Challengers voting is optional. We believe every vote must come from informed and intentional decision-making.

We only extend invitations to individuals who consistently follow the VALORANT scene, understand performance narratives throughout the season, and are capable of voting responsibly. Participation is strictly by invitation only.

Every judge participates with neutrality, regardless of background, personal connections, or regional affiliation. The panel consists of broadcast talent, media members, former professionals, and our partners at Pulsar.

Votes undergo multiple rounds of verification, combining manual and automated checks by an impartial team with no conflict of interest. Judges may request access to the raw tally for transparency, though voter names will remain anonymous. To create a secure and unbiased voting environment, all votes will be anonymized in the complete scoring summary.
