KOI are still in the race for a top-six finish in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024 EMEA season, but their chances are slim to none. While seeing KOI defeat Natus Vincere wouldn’t be the most shocking thing that has happened this season, they also have to make it past Team Heretics next week.
Natus Vincere can secure their playoff ticket on Thursday, yet their form heading into this match is anything but inspiring. They collected four wins in the first stage but have lost all three outings in VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 2, going down to Team Heretics, FUT Esports, and GIANTX.
As they showed last stage, NaVi are capable of great things; however, their potential is hardly a good reason to have them priced as $1.30 favourites with the best esports betting sites — especially against KOI, who seem to have found some traction.

TEAM LIQUID vs KARMINE CORP VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Liquid $3.29 at GG Bet | KC $1.31 at GG Bet |

Team Liquid are 0-2 this stage, with defeats against Team Vitality and BBL Esports without winning a map. Karmine Corp have produced a similar run, losing to Fnatic and BBL Esports in two maps.
Based on those results, finding a good reason to favour one team over the other is difficult, so it’s hard to explain the offered price — especially considering Karmine Corp haven’t shown anything since winning the VCT 2024 EMEA Kickoff.
Team Liquid are priced at $1.68 to take at least one map, which is an excellent offer. But, at this number, taking Liquid on the moneyline is hard to pass on.
