Brought to you by Corsair, the 2024 edition of The VALO2ASIA Awards have brought together 35 members of the judging panel to determine the very best of the best in Asia-Pacific for three categories.
The rankings are shaped by the collective input of the judging panel, with their individual votes combined to produce a consolidated list. Our panelists are a diverse mix of talents, bringing insights from the Challengers League, Game Changers, Ascension, and VCT Pacific & CN leagues. With their varied perspectives and our broad sample size, we believe the results will be the best reflection of how the season unfolded.
All 34 judges come from various backgrounds, from casters, analysts, former professionals, and community members from eleven different nations. We always strive to represent all members of the VALORANT community in Pacific & CN, and at the same time, acknowledge their contributions behind the curtain.
This year, we’ve made a change by creating separate panels of judges for the subcategories of Top 5 Pacific Game Changers and Top 5 Pacific Challengers. This ensures that the submissions come from those who have closely followed the scene. Meanwhile, the main category, Top 20 APAC Players of the Year, will feature 25 votes—24 from the judging panel members and one consolidated public vote, bringing the total to 25.
And for the first time ever, we are giving you a seat at the table as one of the judges! That’s right, your votes will be paramount in helping to determine, alongside votes from our panelists, who is going to be walking away with the prestigious honors this year.
