VALORANT Champions 2023, the biggest VALORANT tournament of the year, continues with a busy group stage schedule. Following the Winner’s bracket matches, the top four teams in the playoffs, Paper Rex, Fnatic, Evil Geniuses and DRX, have been determined.
On today’s VALORANT betting menu, there will be battles where there will be no compensation for a loss.
KRÜ Esports, Giants Gaming, ZETA DIVISION, NRG Esports, Natus Vincere and LOUD will try to survive in the Decider Bracket after their first group losses. Let’s take a closer look at the matches.
KRÜ Esports vs Giants Gaming Preview & Totals Odds
After a fantastic Americas Last Chance Qualifier, KRÜ Esports kicked off VALORANT Champions 2023 against Paper Rex. Although the Latin American-based team’s form excited everyone, the powerful Paper Rex did not give their opponent a chance and managed to win the series quickly 2-0.
Giants Gaming, on the other hand, were very close to winning their first match in their group against EDward Gaming. Despite taking a 1-0 advantage, they narrowly lost the second map and then went down 2-1 in the series.
Both teams have clear strengths and weaknesses, and it’s quite possible that they can take map points from each other. That’s why it’s hard to pick a side. Total map prediction seems like a safer option in VALORANT betting odds.

ZETA DIVISION vs NRG Esports Match Winner Prediction
The fact that NRG Esports will play to avoid elimination in the Elimination match is a surprise for many viewers. NRG, who shocked everyone with a surprise loss against Chinese representative Bilibili Gaming in the first match of the group, does not have the luxury of making mistakes against ZETA. They are among the ambitious teams for the playoffs and are the favorites against ZETA.
VALORANT CHAMPIONS 2023 PROMOTIONS
Luck is not on ZETA‘s side in VALORANT Champions 2023. After Fnatic, the Japan-based team will face NRG in a very tough group. A win against NRG would be one of the unexpected results of the year for a team that was clearly weaker than its opponent in the elimination draw.
- Prediction: NRG Esports to win
- Odds: 1.28

Natus Vincere vs LOUD Match Preview & Odds
VCT 2023 Americas champion LOUD will try to knock another EMEA representative NA’VI out of the tournament after defeating Team Liquid in the Elimination match. After failing to live up to their potential throughout the year, NA’VI started VALORANT Champions 2023 on a high note.
ANGE1 and friends defeated Team Liquid 2-0 in the opening match of Group D to advance to the Winner’s Bracket. But here they lost 2-1 to DRX and had to play a Decider game. While they played better than they have all season, the level they are at is not enough to save them against LOUD.
LOUD avenged the DRX loss by crushing Liquid with a 2-0 score. Their next test won’t be as easy, but they have enough talent to overcome this obstacle.
- Prediction: LOUD to win
- Odds: 1.55
