ESB brings you free VALORANT betting predictions for a pair of fixtures at VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai on Friday, May 24. Here are our top picks for Gen.G vs Leviatan and Team Heretics vs Dragon Ranger Gaming, with esports odds courtesy of the top betting sites in South Korea.


GEN.G vs LEVIATAN VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Gen.G $1.61 at GG Bet | Leviatan $2.20 at GG Bet
When: May 24, 2024 | 16:00 CST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/VALORANT)

Gen.G are rightly favourites for this clash. They have been phenomenal so far this season, with a gold medal from VCT 2024 Pacific Kickoff and two silver medals from Masters Madrid and Pacific Stage 1.

Leviatan haven’t produced anything nearly as impressive — although they had their moments in VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1, with a 4-1 record in the group stage and a third-place finish in the playoffs. Still, this is a flawed team.

Leviatan are very hit-or-miss and quickly fall apart if things don’t go as planned. Their post-plants need a lot of work, and overall they don’t have any big strengths.

Leviatan have shown nothing that would suggest they have what it takes to win Masters Shanghai, and while they might do well against individually weaker teams, Gen.G should be too much for them to handle. A smaller wager on the Korean powerhouse to sweep is worth considering.

TEAM HERETICS vs DRAGON RANGER GAMING VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Heretics $1.44 at GG Bet | DRG $2.62 at GG Bet
When: May 24, 2024 | 19:00 CST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/VALORANT)

Dragon Ranger Gaming enter VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai as by far the biggest underdogs, priced at $151.00 in outright betting markets. Team Heretics, on the other side, sit on the sixth line of title betting.

DRG qualified for this tournament as China’s third seed. That is respectable, but they hail from a relatively weak region where EDward Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix are clearly the top two sides.

Team Heretics made a name for themselves early in the 2024 VALORANT season with a silver medal from the VCT 2024 EMEA Kickoff. They slipped in Madrid with an underwhelming top-eight finish but again found traction domestically with a runner-up result in VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1.

Heretics looked flawed throughout the first split, but their resurgence in the playoffs was inspiring. While it may not seem like it, Heretics have all the tools to make it far in China. DRG, on the other hand, are prime wooden-spoon candidates.
