The second week of the Valorant Champions Tour 2023 LOCK//IN continues this Wednesday in Sao Paulo with the other half of the tournament bracket commencing their round-of-32 series. These are ESB’s free betting tips for Leviatan vs ZETA DIVISION, Global Esports vs Team Vitality and Rex Regum Qeon vs FUT Esports.


LEVIATAN vs ZETA DIVISION VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Leviatan -277.78 at BetOnline | ZETA +200 at BetOnline
When: February 22, 2023 | 20:00 BRT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/VALORANT)

Leviatan will come into their first series of the VCT LOCK//IN as heavy favourites against ZETA DIVISION after winning two smaller competitions on their way to a six-match win streak. The current Leviatan roster is still a relatively new roster after four of the five players were only signed in October and November of last year. However, the South American roster has been in great form and they will be bringing a lot of confidence into their first series of the LOCK//IN.

Their opponents, ZETA DIVISION, had somewhat of a successful 2022 finishing third at the VCT 2022 Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik after they made it all the way to the lower-bracket final, but went down to Optic Gaming 0-3. Since the Stage 1 Masters, ZETA DIVISION have been inconsistent winning three of their last eight series, including losing two of their three series at the VCT Champions 2022.

This series should be closer than the betting suggests and ZETA DIVISION shouldn’t be underrated; therefore, we will be taking overs in the total maps market.

GLOBAL ESPORTS vs TEAM VITALITY VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: GE +280 at BetOnline | Vitality -454.55 at BetOnline
When: February 23, 2023 | 14:00 BRT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/VALORANT)

The second series we will be focusing on will be between two teams that are competing at their first S-Tier Valorant event in their short history.

Global Esports have been dominating in the lower tiers of Valorant through across India and the Asia-Pacific region; however, their wins in B- and C-Tier events may not match up to the standard that they will need to win a series at an S-Tier event like the LOCK//IN. GE haven’t played an official competitive Valorant series since November of last year, so they will be coming into this with limited match practice.

Team Vitality ended their 2022 season with third-fourth placings at both the G-Loot Valorant Clash Grand Finals and the Red Bull Home Ground #3. The international roster has been very consistent, not finishing outside of the top four at their last three A-Tier tournaments, which is much better form than their opponents in this upcoming series. Vitality are deserving favourites in this series and they should be winning.

FUT ESPORTS vs REX REGUM QEON VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: FUT -277.78 at BetOnline | RRQ +200 at BetOnline
When: February 23, 2023 | 17:00 BRT

The last of our previewed series will feature another two teams who will be participating in their first S-Tier event, with FUT Esports taking on Rex Regum Qeon.

FUT Esports ended their 2022 season with a seventh-eighth place finish at Red Bull Home Ground #3 and 9th-16th place at G-Loot Valorant Clash Grand Finals. The Turkish roster has been winning a lot of A- and B-Tier events in Turkey but they have struggled when playing internationally, so this will be a good test for them first up against Rex Regum Qeon.

Rex Regum Qeon have been competing in B and C-Tier events throughout the Asia-Pacific region and at their two A-Tier events they have finished in 9th-12th place and fifth-sixth place, showing that they struggle to compete at that level of competition. Now that they are stepping up to participate in their first S-Tier event, we expect them to struggle – even if they are meeting another S-Tier debutant.

This series looks to FUT Esports’ for the taking, so we will be backing them in win the series 2-0.
