This is the home of the best players in the world. The most successful region ever. Welcome to the VCT Americas 2025 Awards. This season had everything: big wins, nail-biting rounds, and surprises left and right. New rivalries got spicy, new talent stepped up huge, a few favorites slipped, and by the end, G2 closed an amazing year, dominating the region and claiming their third regional championship. Meanwhile, NRG went on a wild run and straight up conquered the world at Champions Paris. A season we won’t forget.

It’s important for us to celebrate the players and coaches who pushed the region forward and delivered some of the strongest performances from a region in VCT history.

And with that, we’re excited to share the VCT Americas 2025 Season Awards!
