?Giants and FUT Esports last met in Week 4 of Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2023 EMEA League, when Giants won 2-0, and according to the latest Valorant betting odds, Emir “rhyme” Muminovic and his crew should enjoy the same success on Tuesday. That doesn’t sound like a wrong assessment, but we must also consider that the Giants haven’t shown much more this season.
Both teams ended the VCT 2023 EMEA League with a 5-4 record and a similar map differential (12-9, 11-8), so the head-to-head is the only thing that sets them apart. Since losing to Giants, FUT Esports have lost against Fnatic (0-2) and Natus Vincere (0-2) and won against Karmine Corp (2-0) and BBL Esports (2-0).
Giants, on the other side, have lost against Team Liquid (1-2) and Heretics (0-2) and ended the regular season with two wins against Team Vitality (2-1) and Karmine Corp (2-0). FUT and Giants look even form-wise, and we could argue they’re not far apart when comparing their individual talent either.
Regardless of what the result of their first meeting might suggest, this clash could go either way. At the odds on offer with the top Valorant betting sites, we like the overs in the total maps market.

?Team Liquid finished VCT 2023 EMEA League regular season in third place, with a 6-3 record and a 13-10 map differential. Their next opponents, Team Vitality, secured a top-six finish by the skin of their teeth, with a 4-5 record and a 9-11 map differential.
Team Vitality barely made it to the postseason due to their dry streak from Week 4 to Week 7 of the regular season. Over that stretch, Vitality have lost against BBL Esports (0-2), Natus Vincere (0-2), Fnatic (0-2), and Giants (1-2), but they recovered.
Those aren’t the most inspiring results, especially considering how much better Team Liquid have looked towards the end of the regular season. But we’re still talking about a team that has dropped maps against KOI (2-1), BBL (2-1), and Giants (2-1).
Team Liquid should win, but Team Vitality are good enough to steal one map.
Team Liquid to win 3-1

Leviatan looked like one of the top teams in the VCT 2023 Americas League early into the regular season, but they’ve lost traction midway through and finished in fourth place with a 4-5 record. They ended the regular season with a 1-4 run, with just one win against KRU Esports (2-0) and losses against 100 Thieves (1-2), Evil Geniuses (1-2), Cloud9 (0-2), and LOUD (0-2).
Their next opponents, FURIA Esports, weren’t praised nearly as much as Leviatan, yet they still finished the year with the same 4-5 record. But just like Leviatan, they closed out the regular season with just one win (2-0 v MiBR) from their last five outings, and defeats against Cloud9 (0-2), NRG (1-2), 100 Thieves (1-2), and Sentinels (1-2).
According to the latest Valorant betting odds, Leviatan should win, which makes sense if we put more weight on how good the rosters are. But realistically, Leviatan haven’t shown much more than FURIA in the latter stages of the regular season.
At the offered esports odds, siding with FURIA Esports at plus money makes the most sense.
