July 16 promises to be a real treat for Valorant fans — we're in for an action-packed day of gaming with the VCT 2025: EMEA and Pacific Stage 2. Among the dozens of possible bets, we've highlighted five that truly deserve attention. These aren't chosen by random players, but by those who know the meta, read patterns, and can spot hidden value.

T1 vs. Paper Rex: Paper Rex Win (1.45)

Paper Rex consistently confirms its status as a favorite in the Pacific region. The team feels confident in aggressive plays and regularly outperforms less disciplined opponents. T1 still lacks synchronization in crucial moments. An excellent option for a solo bet or a parlay.

DRX vs. Gen.G Esports: Total Maps Over 2.5 (1.88)

When DRX and Gen.G face off, it's rarely an easy walk. Both teams demonstrate equal strength, and it often goes to a third map. Odds of 1.88 on "over 2.5" is hidden value, especially considering DRX's recent form.

Natus Vincere vs. Apeks: Total Maps Over 2.5 (2.15)

Although NaVi is the favorite, Apeks is a team with character, capable of grabbing at least one map. Considering NaVi's instability at the start of series, betting on three maps seems logical, especially with such high odds.

Team Vitality vs. GIANTX: Total Maps Over 2.5 (2.10)

Vitality rarely closes matches with a 2:0 score, even against underdogs. GIANTX knows how to surprise and can take at least one map. This bet is suitable for a confident single option.
