Top FPS pros in Valorant and CS2 average roughly 180–230 ms on a standard reaction test — faster than the ~250 ms typical player but not superhuman. The standout numbers are the outliers: Valorant star TenZ has been measured around 138 ms, more than twice as fast as the average test result.
Reaction time by game
Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant reward fast reactions for peeks and clutches, with pros around 190–250 ms. Fighting-game and rhythm-game players often post elite numbers too. But across every game, positioning, crosshair placement and game sense decide most fights — peeker's advantage alone is worth about 40 ms.
How do you compare?
Most people land around 250 ms on a clean reaction test; sub-200 ms puts you in fast company, and sub-150 ms is pro-tier. Want to know your number? Take the GGReflex Reaction Time test, then try the moving-target FPS Aim Trainer below to see your in-game reflexes.
