Russian-speaking Valorant Pros: All 28

Our settings database holds 28 Russian-speaking Valorant pros out of 650 profiles: 24 from Russia, two from Ukraine, one each from Kazakhstan and Belarus. That is 4.3% of the scene. Sixteen of them played an official match in August 2026, and the most decorated is Chronicle of Team Vitality. Below is the full group in one table — team, transfer date, winnings and last match — followed by how their settings compare with the median of the base.

All 28 Russian-speaking Valorant players

Teams, transfer dates, winnings and matches come from vlr.gg as of 22 August 2026. Each nickname links to that player's page with sensitivity, crosshair and gear.

Sixteen of the 28 played an official match in August 2026. Three are without a team, the rest are either between stages or out of the starting five. Combined career winnings across all 28 come to $2.47M, and a fifth of that belongs to one player.

Which Russian-speaking players have won Masters and Champions

Russian-speaking players have taken international Valorant trophies five times, and the very first season put them on both sides of the biggest final of the year.

The 2021 Champions final was almost a home game: five players from this list wore Gambit colours, while Acend had Ukrainian Kiles. Gambit lost 2:3 and settled for silver.

The most decorated is Chronicle: Masters with Gambit in 2021, then two trophies with Fnatic in 2023 and $519,629 in prize money, the highest in the group. He has played for Team Vitality since October 2025. Second by earnings is something of Paper Rex, who took Masters Toronto 2025 — the most recent international trophy on this list.

What settings do Russian-speaking pros use

This is the part vlr.gg cannot tell you: we compared these 28 against the median of all 650 profiles.

• Median eDPI is 280 against 232 for the whole base. Russian-speaking pros aim noticeably faster than the average.
• DPI: 800 for 14 players, 1600 for 12, 400 for two. The median in-game sensitivity matches the base at 0.27.
• Stretched resolution (anything but 1920×1080) — 39% versus 29% across the base. The Counter-Strike habit sticks.
• Extremes: the slowest is Glance at 128 eDPI, the fastest among active players is Rarga at 560.
• Mouse: the Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE appears six times in 28 — the most common model in this group.

The spread inside the group runs from 128 to 736 eDPI, so copying "the Russian sensitivity" makes no sense. Take your own CS2 sens and convert it properly instead of guessing. Their crosshairs are broken down separately in our analysis of 532 codes, and the hardware in the pro mouse study.

Who is not playing right now

Shao is signed to Natus Vincere and Sheydos to Karmine Corp, yet both played their last official match on 21 February 2026 at EMEA Clash. ANGE1, a Copenhagen champion, has not appeared on a server since 29 August 2025. Three players are currently unsigned: wippie, falltw and 7ssk7.

The younger names moved up in 2026 instead: trexx and Cloud joined Team Liquid and Fnatic in June, Swagzor left for Nova Esports in China in March. Seven of the 16 active players now compete outside Europe, in China and the Asia-Pacific region.
