VALORANT on May 19 once again gives a reason to make smart bets. In the spotlight — the Esports World Cup 2025 qualifiers and the second stage matches of regional Challengers. We’ve selected 5 of the most interesting options with a balanced risk-to-reward ratio.

Leviatán to win against KRÜ Esports (1.38)

Leviatán formed an updated roster before the start of VCT 2025: Americas Stage 2. Their first challenge was the EWC 2025 qualifier, where the team has already secured one win and suffered one loss. Their next match is against KRÜ Esports, who are playing with two stand-ins. Because of this, Leviatán has a better chance to win, and the odds on their success are 1.38.

NRG Esports to win against 2GAME (1.06)

2GAME is currently one of the weakest teams in the Americas. In the match against NRG, they are clear underdogs. The odds for NRG’s victory are just 1.06, and for a clean 2:0 score — 1.48. However, there is a chance that 2GAME might take at least one map. Therefore, it’s better to avoid this match or include NRG’s win in your accumulator bet.

100 Thieves to win against Cloud9 (1.80)

One of the most unpredictable matches on May 19 is the clash between 100 Thieves and Cloud9. The odds for both teams are almost equal, but we recommend betting on 100 Thieves. In their previous head-to-head match, they left Cloud9 no chance, winning 2:0. The current odds for a 100 Thieves victory are 1.80.

FOKUS to win against Zero Tenacity (1.50)

FOKUS — silver and gold medalists of the VALORANT Challengers 2025 DACH — are one of the favorites in Group B of the VALORANT Challengers 2025 EMEA: Stage 2. Their first match is against Zero Tenacity, newcomers to the tournament. With confidence and experience on their side, FOKUS have every chance to win, and the odds are quite favorable (1.50).

ULF Esports to win against MKOI Fénix (2.10)

ULF Esports didn’t participate in the first split of the Challengers league but made it into Challengers EMEA after the second split. Because of this, they are considered underdogs. Meanwhile, MKOI Fénix lost one of their most experienced players — MONSTEERR, who moved to the main roster. This gives ULF Esports every chance to win, especially with such generous odds — 2.10.

Remember that bets should be based on reasoning, not emotions. And always keep in mind: the winner is not the one who knows all the odds, but the one who knows how to interpret them correctly.
