Gen.G kicked off VALORANT Champions 2024 with a 2-0 sweep of Sentinels, who managed just 15 total rounds on Thursday. It was a strong showing from the Pacific representatives, and according to the top esports bookmakers, Gen.G are expected to add another victory to their resume on Tuesday.
EMEA’s third seed, Team Heretics, had to dig deep against FunPlus Phoenix in the opening match of Group B, needing overtime on Lotus to eke out a win. Such a performance against one of the lowest-rated squads in the tournament does not look inspiring, but it doesn’t make Heretics any less capable of beating Gen.G.
As this is a fixture between two elite teams, the favourites appear to be vastly underpriced with VALORANT betting sites. Heretics are talented enough to do some damage and have a deep enough map pool to find a weakness in Gen.G.

DRX and Fnatic both delivered in the opening round of Group A, beating KRU Esports and Bilibili Gaming, respectively. DRX needed a reverse sweep to make it past KRU, but VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Americas third seed are not that weak, so that result is hardly concerning.
Fnatic could have performed better against Bilibili Gaming, who were allowed to take nine rounds on Bind, but we can also blame DRX for losing Haven 2-13 despite having a 69% win rate on the map. It is fair to say neither team showed up in the opening round.
DRX are a capable team, yet it is hard to doubt Fnatic, who showed glimpses of what they are capable of in the second half of the season. There is a good chance this series ends in a 2-0 sweep for the EMEA representatives.
