Top Valorant streamers of 2025

Loading

Valorant in 2025 continued to grow as a livestreaming game and an esports title, led once again by the massive interest shown by community streamers and audiences worldwide. As a result, it remained among the five most-watched titles on Twitch, while also growing on prominent platforms like YouTube, Kick, SOOP Korea, and CHZZK.

The big movers on the most-watched Valorant content creators list in 2025 were Ushida "Lazvell" Kouji, Gustavo "sacy" Rossi, Hashimoto "Bijusan" Ren, and Ahmad "mooda" Hallal. These names come from different global communities but are united by their love for the Riot Games shooter, representing the diversity of its player and streamer bases.

Three Canadians were also part of this 2025 Valorant streamers leaderboard, including the aforementioned mooda. One of the newer names on this list in terms of when his channel was created, the 20-year-old has had a breakthrough couple of years, bookended by the fact that he is among Twitch's top 130 creators by HW in 2025.

Like many others on this list, mooda's rise in popularity has come as a result of combining co-streaming events, collaborating with other Valorant influencers, and showcasing his own gaming skills. In fact, his talented gameplay has attracted a dedicated audience to his Twitch channel, with most of his streams involving challenging himself against other high-ranked players while interacting with his audience in his signature style.

There's also  TenZ, the former Sentinels pro who has transitioned to full-time content creation for the popular NA esports organization after retiring from competitive Valorant in 2024. Since then, he has become one of the most recognizable community streamers in the region. Most of his content last year came from major tournaments like the Game Changers Championship 2025, Champions, Masters Toronto, VCT Pacific and VCT Americas, alongside influencer ones like Red Bull Home Ground 2025.

He is joined by shanks_ttv, the G2 Esports content creator known for his high-skill gameplay and energetic personality. Apart from the events listed above, he was one of the few prominent streamers to also livestream the Game Changers Championship, the top competition in female Valorant esports. He also became popular for his speedrunning to radiant livestreams, where he would try reaching the highest rank in the game across numerous servers.

Connor "Sliggy" Blomfield

One of the two European representatives here, Sliggytv is a British Valorant streamer currently working for Team Liquid as part of its content creation team. He is a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive observer, player, coach, and Counter-Strike: Source player. As one of the United Kingdom's top influencers for the shooter, the 36-year-old has been vital to its rise in fame in the  island nation. In 2025, he made sure to cover all the major tournaments across Twitch and YouTube, alongside partner events like the Radiant International Invitational 2025.

Ushida "Lazvell" Kouji and Hashimoto "Bijusan"

Like the 2024 rankings, three Japanese influencers have made the Streams Charts top ten for last year. Valorant remains incredibly popular on Twitch in this country, with Japanese overtaking English to become the most popular language for livestreaming in the FPS title.

Leading the charge were Lazvell and Bijusan, with the former two taking up the third and sixth positions on this leaderboard. As always, each name brings something unique to the table, be it through the lens of a former esports player or as a fan who plays for fun and wants to celebrate every round won and every accessory unlocked.

Bijusan and Lazvell, the former professional players, achieved never-before-seen numbers personally as they concentrated more on creating content for Murash Gaming and ZETA DIVISION, respectively. Alongside covering top tournaments, where they often finished among the most successful co-casters, the duo was also crucial to the livestreaming success of influencer-led events, such as Riot Games ONE 2025 and Red Bull Home Ground 2025.

Both star Japanese streamers also made major gains in their overall standings on Twitch. While Lazvell entered the purple platform's top 100 watch time list for the first time, Bijusan's rise has been even more meteoric. The 27-year-old has jumped 7717 places from 2024 to sit as the 134th-ranked name by Hours Watched (HW).

Óscar "mixwell" Cañellas

Spanish sensation Mixwell cemented his status as a Valorant mainstay on livestreaming last year after emerging as one of the game's leading figures in Europe in 2024. His template has also been similar over the past two years: actively covering the top leagues and tournaments and broadcasting all the most discussed matches from other regions.

Nevertheless, not everything was smooth sailing for the former professional gamer and founder of Spanish esports organization Otakar Esports. He had a complex 2025, navigating a transition period that saw him expand from just covering tier 1 professional play to broadcasting smaller events, but remaining a core content creator for the European scene.

Like many other established creators, Mixwell also got bitten by the collaboration bug. Many of his livestreams in 2025 involved other influencers, both established and upcoming, including Daniel "SaizSkills" Ruiz and Pablo "Peereira7" Pereira, with one such broadcast, the highly anticipated 1v1 battle with Pereira, finishing among his most popular streams ever.

The Spaniard also showed off his still precise gameplay skills in Valorant from time to time to his legion of fans. Whether they were variety gaming sessions or grinding ranked tiers, these broadcasts attracted thousands of viewers as they were reminded just how good Mixwell was.

Heitor "Tck10" Tomazela and Gustavo "sacy" Rossi

Two Brazilians are next, with TcK10 and sacy coming in fourth and fifth, respectively. The former ended as the most-watched Valorant streamer from his country for the second straight year, maintaining his status as a dominant and highly influential figure in the Portuguese-speaking community.

Primarily known for his aggressive and highly energetic content, and successful blending of high-skill ranked gameplay with the massive draw of professional esports co-streaming. As always, the Cloud9 content creator mixed the community casting of different competitions with his signature brand of trolling other popular streamers and pro players in ranked matches to keep his audience engaged.

Meanwhile, sacy has emerged as a great option for Valorant fans in the Portuguese-speaking community last year. He enjoyed the biggest year-on-year watch time rise of any name on this leaderboard when it came to content around the Riot Games shooter.

It helped that he retired professionally as a pro at the end of 2024, allowing him to undergo a major, high-profile transformation in terms of content creation. Having joined legendary Brazilian esports organization MIBR, he was able to focus on community engagement during his livestreams and play other games alongside Valorant. Pooling this with his VCT co-streaming broadcasts made sacy one of the most important content creators in the South American country last year.

Tarik "Tarik" Celik

Topping this leaderboard for the second straight year is Tarik, another former Valorant pro who has become one of the faces of the game's livestreaming success. In fact, his activity in 2025 only cemented his role as the "Content King" and a cornerstone of the North American (NA) community.

Although he was much less active last year compared to 2024, the Sentinels creator was still head and shoulders above anyone else in terms of audience engagement. This was seen in the fact that he is the only one, at the time of writing, to accrue over 20 million HW in Valorant content in 2025.

Tarik was also crucial to Sentinels' continued success, hosting and commentating on multiple tournaments and showmatches affiliated with the org in 2025. This included the Sentinels Invitational 2025 and the Red Bull Home Ground 2025 Showmatch (where he played against Tyson "TenZ" Ngo's team). These events provided high-energy, dedicated content for the team's fanbase while also showcasing Tarik's personal brand to a global audience.

Let's not forget, the American also provided occasional streams of high-elo ranked play and Valorant Pro City matches. He also veered a lot towards reaction/review videos, where he dissected highlights and the best plays from top events and discussed major roster moves.
