Sentinels had a very tough start to VALORANT Champions 2024<\/a>, as they had to face the top team in the world, Gen.G, and lost in two maps. FunPlus Phoenix did not have it much easier, as they lost to Team Heretics in overtime.<\/p>\n

FunPlus Phoenix showed more than expected against Team Heretics, although the latter side did not perform at 100% on the day. As such, it is fair to question whether FunPlus Phoenix are actually good.<\/p>\n

Sentinels, with their roster, should not be losing games like this. But as FunPlus Phoenix proved in Shanghai and last week, they can hang with the best. Expect a close series.<\/p>\n

BILIBILI GAMING vs KRU ESPORTS VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nBLG +363 at BetOnline<\/a> | KRU -588.24 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Bilibili Gaming kicked off their tournament run with a 0-2 loss against Fnatic; however, they showed a pulse on Bind, where the VCT China representatives won nine rounds. Lotus was much more one-sided, but it is not like Bilibili have ever been good on that map.<\/p>\n

Bilibili Gaming do not have to worry about Lotus for this series, as it is one of their opponents’ weakest maps, along with Abyss — as shown in KRU Esports\u2019 defeat against DRX in the opening series.<\/p>\n

VALORANT betting sites<\/a> have KRU as big favourites for this match. But based on the teams\u2019 performances in the first round, it is easy to believe Bilibili Gaming can leave a dent in VCT Americas\u2019 fourth seed.<\/p>\n
