Sentinels crowned “most popular” Valorant team after dominating viewership figures

In the world of Valorant esports, it’s no secret that Sentinels are hailed as the most celebrated team due to recent data indicating their prolonged reign among the elite squads in the game.

Since its debut in Valorant, Sentinels have been a constant presence, backing numerous teams and securing two Victory First Championship (VCT Masters) titles for themselves. They bagged the initial title in 2021 and also claimed the first championship of the 2024 season.

Over the years, I’ve consistently found myself on the side of well-backed teams, no matter who was on the roster at the time.

Instead, data from EsportsCharts indicates that they are currently the top-ranked team in terms of popularity since the inception of the esport.

They’ve consistently been a top-tier Valorant team over the past three years, attracting more viewers on average than any other team.

Ever since the debut of VALORANT Esports, teams such as @Sentinels, @DRX_VALORANT, @FNATIC, @pprxteam and @LOUDgg have stood out as the cream of the crop in terms of popularity! 👑

Over the past two years, these four teams – DRX, Fnatic, Paper Rex, and LOUD – have consistently ranked among the top five with the highest average viewership totals.

For one year, these organizations have consistently ranked among the top five in terms of viewership: Heretics, TSM, Evil Geniuses, Liquid, Envy, OpTic Gaming, G2, 100 Thieves, Leviatan, Zeta, Gambit, Gen.G, FPX, and KRÜ.

Over the years, having Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo on their team has undoubtedly benefited Sentinels, given his reputation as one of the game’s top talents and his widespread popularity among fans.

2025’s Valorant esports season has officially begun, and following the conclusion of the regional qualifying tournaments, competitors are preparing themselves for the VCT Masters in Bangkok.

Guards aim to kick off the season impressively while maintaining their viewership lead, but securing victory in Bangkok might prove challenging due to formidable opponents such as G2 and Vitality lurking nearby.

At the close of the year, fans and competitors alike will have the opportunity to witness a fresh tournament within the Valorant esports schedule, as it’s now official that the competition will grace the Esports World Cup 2025 stage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
