Data Sources & Credits

ValoHub aggregates publicly available Valorant data from a number of third-party providers. Each one is listed below with what it powers on the site and a link back to the source.

Why this page exists

ValoHub is a fan-made companion site, not a first-party data provider. Almost everything on the site (catalogs, live scores, store rotations, news links) originates from the third parties listed below. Our agent tier list and meta team compositions on /tier-list and /meta/comps are a curated editorial baseline maintained by ValoHub. Each page states the patch the estimates were reviewed for. ValoHub also writes editorial agent guides, map strategies, and matchup tips. This page exists so visitors, rights holders, and ad-network reviewers can verify exactly where every piece of data comes from.

The list is maintained alongside the codebase. If a source is added or removed, this page is updated in the same change. If you are a rights holder and would like attribution corrected or a dependency removed, please reach out through the contact page.

Third-party data providers

Each provider below is independently operated. ValoHub does not own, control, or endorse these services, and their respective terms of service govern their use.
