ESB brings you free VALORANT betting tips for a pair of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1 games on Tuesday, April 23. Here are our picks for Sentinels vs Evil Geniuses and NRG vs MiBR, with esports odds courtesy of the best bookmakers for gamblers from South Korea.


SENTINELS vs EVIL GENIUSES VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Sentinels $1.08 at GG Bet | EG $6.88 at GG Bet

Sentinels bounced back following a 0-2 loss against Leviatan in Week 2 with a 2-0 sweep of MiBR on Saturday. It was a good showing from the reigning VCT 2024 Madrid Masters champions, who gave MiBR very little room to breathe, showing excellent execution on both attack and defence.

Evil Geniuses have not been as successful this season. They showed some good qualities against Cloud9 on Monday when they won Lotus with a strong performance on defence, but even that was overshadowed by poor showings on Sunset and Split.

The biggest issue with EG is their weak map pool. Unlike the 2023 roster, Evil Geniuses are also not as adaptable, which explains their lack of consistency and slow starts.

Sentinels should win, but at $1.08 with VCT bookmakers, they’re overrated. Evil Geniuses are not great, but they tend to do well on certain maps, and as long as they don’t fall behind too early, they can do some damage.

NRG vs MIBR VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: NRG $1.63 at GG Bet | MIBR $2.19 at GG Bet

NRG are slowly making a case for themselves as one of the strongest VALORANT esports teams in the region. They did well in the Kickoff tournament, with just one 1-2 defeat against the eventual champions, Sentinels, and they haven’t looked bad so far in VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1.

Max “Demon1” Mazanov, in particular, has been phenomenal, with the league’s third-highest average performance rating at 1.39, ahead of Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen, who ranks fifth at 1.29.

MiBR enter the third week of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1 with a 0-2 record after defeats against Sentinels and KRU Esports. Like NRG, MiBR had moments during VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff, but they’ve not looked good ever since Stage 1 started.

VALORANT betting sites have NRG priced as $1.63 favourites, which is very generous considering how much better they’ve been playing than MiBR. This number likely won’t hold, but anything around $1.60 is worth a bet.
