Top Controller players in VALORANT of 2022

Undoubtedly, each role in VALORANT has its functions in each game, making them indispensable to the teams. For example, entry Fraggers open the gaps so Controllers, Initiators, and the rest of the team can take over the sites and win the games.

IGLs and Controller agents are one of the most difficult to judge objectively. We say this because controllers are the fundamental base of the team’s operations and the excellent location of the smokes; they are rarely the center of attention in the game.

Best controllers of 2022

Unlike many other games, VALORANT has no specific metric that allows us to evaluate a controlling agent. So, we are left with the one that never fails, the visual test.

That is why, visually speaking, we will show you the best professional players Controllers of the 2022 season.

Bryan “pANcada” Luna

We cannot start this list of the best controllers of 2022 with another player than pANcada, who has quietly been the central pillar of the world champions, LOUD.

pANcada is one of the most lethal players on this list; he has a great reputation in the community, thanks to his excellent level of play in every game.

Slippery and resilient are the adjectives used by his opponents, who rank him as one of their most formidable opponents.

Kim “MaKo” Myeong-Kwan

Let’s see; after seeing the great season DRX had, it’s impossible not to count their best player in our list, Kim “MaKo” Myeong-Kwan.

MaKo is one of the rising stars of VALORANT in South Korea. Using Astra and Viper, he is one of the strongest players in the world.

Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen

When Marved played for FaZe Clan, there is no doubt that he was an ordinary Controller at a professional level. He did his job but didn’t stand out from the rest.

But, under Pujan “FNS” Mehta and his time within Team Envy, he has been transformed into the best controller in NA and one of the best in the world.

Marved is an expert at using the smoke of agents; it is not for nothing that he is called the “Smoke Criminal” in the North American VALORANT scene.

Aaron “mindfreak” Leonhart

Paper Rex’s rise to the top of their region could not have been what it was without Aaron “mindfreak” Leonhart.

In this season of ascent for Paper Rex, mindfreak has positioned himself as one of the best controllers in the world, primarily using Astra as an agent.

Shota “SugarZ3ro” Watanabe

Although it is true that his team, ZETA DIVISION, did not get very far in the past VALORANT Champions 2022, SugarZ3ro has managed to keep his level very high in every single game. After observing his extraordinary talent, there is no doubt that he is not only one of the best players in his team but in the world.

His domination, especially of Astra, was extraordinary, and he flattened the path of other players like MaKo.

Sean “Bang” Bezerra

One of the strangest cases we have seen in VALORANT is Sean “Bang” Bezerra, who started his career in VALORANT as a Duelist and has now become one of the strongest talents as a Controller in NA.

His level of play in 2022 as a Controller has been spectacular. His coaches at 100 Thieves are raving about him, and 2023 will be much better.
