On May 15, fans can look forward to an action-packed day on the VALORANT stage: the VCL 2025: LAN ACE Masters and VCL 2025: LAS ACE Masters will host key matches featuring favorites and underdogs, including 9z Team and Fuego. Additionally, in the Asian Champions League 2025, Paper Rex will face XLG Esports, promising a fierce battle for advancement to the next stage. We have selected the most promising bets based on bookmaker odds, current team form, and hidden patterns from past encounters.

XLG Esports vs. Paper Rex: Total Over 2.5 (1.85)

Betting on a total over 2.5 maps is justified as both teams are in excellent form, boasting an 80% win rate over the past month. XLG recently won the China Stage 1, while Paper Rex secured 3rd place in the Pacific Stage 1, following a tense 2:3 series against RRQ. An evenly matched contest is expected, where highly motivated and experienced teams could push the match to three maps. Match details can be found here.

9z Team vs. Zen eSports: Total Over 2.5 (2.40)

Betting on a total over 2.5 maps between 9z Team and Zen eSports seems promising, as both teams have previously faced off in March, where Zen managed to take one map (2:1). Despite 9z's apparent dominance in terms of victories, they regularly drop maps even in winning matches — for instance, against ShindeN and Leviatán Academy. Zen also shows bursts of form, defeating teams like Rebirth and Nottingham. This clash could extend, especially if Zen capitalizes on their strong map. Match details can be found here.

Rebirth Esports vs. OXEN: Rebirth to Win One Map — Yes (2.10)

Despite OXEN's apparent advantage in odds, Rebirth Esports have previously taken a map from them in March, losing 1:2. The team occasionally clinches maps even against stronger opponents, as seen in matches against Zen and ShindeN. OXEN themselves don't always play consistently and often slip up, even in winning series. At odds of 2.10, betting on Rebirth Esports to take at least one map seems justified. Match details can be found here.

KTANA vs. Fuego: Fuego to Win (1.50)

Fuego approaches this match with confidence and stable form, making them the favorites. The team demonstrates an organized style of play and can control the pace from the start. Under these conditions, Fuego has every chance to impose their game and clinch victory in key moments. Considering the current tournament dynamics, betting on their victory appears reliable. Match details can be found here.

Trace Esports vs. Bilibili Gaming: TE to Win at Least One Map - Yes (1.32)

Trace Esports are in excellent form — 4 wins in their last 5 matches, including strong playoff performances. Despite a recent loss to Bilibili Gaming, they have won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters and overall appear more stable. Bilibili, on the other hand, have lost their last 3 matches consecutively, indicating a downturn. Considering the even odds for the match outcome and Trace's higher stability, betting on them to take at least one map seems reliable and justified.
