Omen Is The Most Picked Agent Across All Regions

Omen has established himself as a central figure in professional VALORANT, consistently appearing in team compositions across every major region. His utility and flexibility make him a reliable choice, leading to high pick rates throughout competitive play in Stage 2, which concluded at the end of August 2025.

While many agents see situational use, only a small number have managed to stand out at the top level. Among them, Omen remains the most prominent, with just a few others managing to reach similar visibility in recent tournaments.

Omen leads global agent selections

Omen continues to stand out as the most frequently chosen agent across professional VALORANT play. His presence remains consistent in every major region, with selection rates reaching 86% in China, 80% in EMEA, 78% in the Americas, and 74% in the Pacific. These numbers highlight his reliability as a Controller who fits into nearly every team composition.

The contest for the second and third most-used agents varies depending on the region. A quick breakdown shows the differences clearly:

The data also reflects a broader trend: Controllers dominate the current meta. While Omen’s flexible kit makes him the clear favorite, discussions continue around whether other agents like Astra and Harbor need adjustments to remain competitive.

VCT Stage 2 Audience Trends

Viewership across the major VCT regions in 2025 showed mixed results, with some leagues growing while others experienced a decline. The Americas recorded a noticeable drop in peak numbers, falling from 394,975 in 2024 to 295,084 in 2025. A large portion of the remaining audience came from Brazil, where LOUD’s popularity continued to drive significant engagement. Four of the five most-watched matches in the region featured the organization, reinforcing its central role in sustaining interest.

In contrast, the Pacific region demonstrated steady growth. Peak viewership climbed from 332,089 in 2024 to 426,912 in 2025. This increase aligned with strong international performances, as Pacific teams secured both Masters titles of the year. T1 claimed victory at Masters Bangkok, while Paper Rex triumphed at Masters Toronto, further boosting the region’s visibility and competitive reputation.

China’s numbers painted a different picture. Peak viewership slightly decreased from 39,601 in 2024 to 37,537 in 2025, yet the region showed progress in average audience size. The figure more than doubled, moving from 5,027 to 10,555, suggesting growing international interest despite lower peaks.
