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 Logo

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.

TSM Recent Achievements:

• VCT 2021: North America Stage 3 Challengers 2 - 1st Place, $20,000
• VCT 2021: North America Stage 2 Challengers 2 - 5th - 6th, $3,000

9. Version1

V1 Logo

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.

V1 Recent Achievements:

• NSG: Winter Championship - Open 4 - 1st, $1,250
• VCT 2021: North America Last Chance Qualifier - 5th - 6th, $5,000

8. Akrew

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. But they were recently beaten by the terrifying Cloud9 Blue. Nevertheless, Akrew is still exciting to watch and deserves a spot on this list

Akrew Recent Achievements:

• NSG: Winter Championship - Philadelphia - 1st, $4,125
• Knights Arena Monthly Gauntlet - December - 1st, $3,000

7. NRG

NRG Logo

NRG Valorant has always been a strong contender for the past year. 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. People are now expecting NRG to perform at a higher level because of the changes.

NRG Recent Achievements:

• NSG: Winter Championship - Open 7 - 2nd, $750

In fact,  XSET even acquired some of the best players in the region, including the superstar Sova (Zekken) and IGL (depph). This squad even won the NSG Winter Championship after defeating NRG in an exciting fashion. 

XSET Recent Achievements:

4. 100T

100T Logo

Some might think that this team has fallen into ruins after losing their key players, Steel and Nitr0. 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.

100T Recent Achievements:

• VCT 2021: North America Last Chance Qualifier - 3rd, $15,000
• VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin - 3rd - 4th, $85,000

3. Sentinels

Sentinels Logo

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?

Sentinels Recent Achievements:

• VCT 2021: North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs - 1st, $40,000

ENVY Logo

Probably the most consistent team in NA during 2021, Envy finished at least top 4 on all the tournaments they participated in—except for Masters: Champions. This USA-based squad has defeated strong teams local and international time and time again. Envy retained all of its key players, and they are still expected to perform well this year.

After losing their superstar Jett, Tenz, Cloud9 Blue has decided to rebuild its Valorant team in hopes of being the strongest in the world. And actually, they are actually getting closer to that goal because C9 Blue continues to dominate the NA scene until today. They won the Nerd Street Gamers: Summer Championship and Last Chance Qualifiers. Not only that, but this squad also went on an impressive run in Masters: Champions.
