The Top 5 Selling VCT EMEA Valorant Capsules Include One Surprising Team
The world of Valorant esports in the EMEA region has seen unprecedented excitement with the reveal of the top five selling Valorant capsules by Riot Games. Representing a blend of expected giants and an unexpected contender, the list comprises Fnatic, Gentle Mates, Karmine Corp, KOI, and NAVI. This diverse selection underscores the broad appeal of Valorant’s competitive scene and highlights both longstanding favorites and new challengers making a significant impact.
Fnatic Leads the Charge
At the forefront, Fnatic continues to dominate the Valorant scene, not just with their exceptional gameplay that led to winning two major international tournaments in 2023 but also in the capsule sales race. Renowned for having a fan-favorite player, Jake ‘Boaster’ Howlett, Fnatic’s popularity is undisputed, showcasing the strong bond between the team and its global fanbase.
NAVI: The Pride of Eastern Europe
NAVI‘s success, both on the battlefield and in capsule sales, highlights the team’s status as one of Valorant’s elites in the EMEA region. Representing Eastern Europe, NAVI has not only showcased top-tier gameplay but also managed to captivate fans, solidifying its place among the top contenders.
The Expected Titans: Karmine Corp and KOI
The inclusion of Karmine Corp and KOI aligns with expectations, considering their ownership by popular European creators. Their strong fan engagement and competitive prowess have evidently translated into substantial capsule sales, affirming their positions as influential entities in the Valorant esports landscape.
The Unexpected Contender: Gentle Mates
The appearance of Gentle Mates among the top sellers is the talk of the town. Founded just in 2023 under the leadership of well-known figures from the Call of Duty landscape and content creation sphere, Gentle Mates’ rise is nothing short of meteoric. Their journey from participating in the 2023 Ascension tournament to becoming a top-selling capsule brand is a testament to their rapidly growing popularity and the universal appeal of their unique story.
Surpassing other prominent French organizations like Team Vitality, Gentle Mates’ achievement is particularly notable, reflecting not just the team’s appeal but also the vibrant and diverse fanbase of Valorant esports. Their popularity in other esports titles, such as their recent Rocket League Major win, underlines the multi-faceted success of the organization.
Notable Absences
While the top five list celebrates the successes of its members, it’s also notable for the absence of other big names like Team Liquid and Team Heretics. Despite having formidable Valorant rosters and a strong presence in the esports world, these teams have not made the cut this time, underscoring the highly competitive nature of capsule sales and fandom in Valorant esports.
The VCT EMEA Valorant capsules ranking brings to light not just the teams that are winning in game but also those winning the hearts of fans worldwide. From established giants to surprising newcomers, the Valorant esports scene continues to be a battleground not just for competitive supremacy but also for fan engagement and brand appeal.
