In comparison, former CS:GO pro and Cloud9 player, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek only reached the Diamond rank after going 3-2 on his own placement matches.

As more players continue grinding away on Valorant’s new ranked mode, the community is getting a sense of which players are going to dominate the game, and it seems that ex-CS:GO pros are populating the Valorant leaderboards.
