North America has many organizations that make great teams that go neck and neck with the best Valorant teams globally. If you are a huge NA Valorant fan, you are probably curious about the best teams in the region right now. But worry not, because here is a list of the crème de la crème teams in the USA right now.

10. TSM FTX

TSM held the "best team in NA'' title during the early months of Valorant. However, they started to crumble when different teams started to catch up. With this in mind, the organization rebuilt the team and recently acquired the Immortals IGL, Rossy, and the star duelist from Faze, Corey. It is still unclear whether they can perform at a high level again, but fans are surely eager to see them play after the changes.

9. Version1

This squad was able to go into a solid run and qualify to Masters: Reykjavik after being defeated by the most dominant team in the history of Valorant, Sentinels, in VCT NA. Version1 is still viewed as a solid squad all around even after losing Vanity. Their solid team play and strats still make them one of the top teams to watch in NA this 2022.

Probably the most shocking team in NA right now. Akrew has gone into a win streak, defeating some of the best tier 2 teams in America. This squad defeated Complexity and Renegades.

7. NRG

The American-based organization tried different versions of their team, and after the acquisition of the superstar duelist (ANDROID) and smart IGL (Hazed) it is now harder to leave this team out of this list.

However, it is still safe to say that they still deserve a spot on this list after acquiring former Faze player (BabyJ) and former Liquid player(ec1s). People might say that they are not as strong as they used to be, but 100T is still a strong contender to the top spot.

The most dominant team in Valorant history. Even though Sentinels have crumbled in local and international tournaments for the past few months, they are still one of the best in NA. Sentinels retained their well-rounded lineup with their superstar, Tenz, in the duelist role. This squad is still going to be a menace because of their insane aim and team play. But do they still have what it takes to face the best of the best in their region?
