KRU Esports have yet to find any traction this season and enter this match with three losses against FURIA Esports (0-2), MiBR (1-2), and Evil Geniuses (1-2). 100 Thieves, on the other hand, are 1-2 with defeats against Cloud9 (0-2) and Sentinels (1-2), while their sole victory happened in Week 2 against Evil Geniuses (2-0).
Neither team is in a good spot, but according to the top VCT betting sites, 100 Thieves are strong favourites to come out on top. It might have to do with 100T’s strong performance against Evil Geniuses (who beat KRU), but KRU also played a very close series against MiBR (13-9, 11-13, 12-14).
So if we compare the team’s past results, it’s hard to justify the offered Valorant betting odds. 100 Thieves still have a higher ceiling, but that hasn’t helped them achieve much this season.
100 Thieves should win, but they’re inconsistent, so it’s not entirely unlikely for this game to end with an upset or, at the very least, KRU Esports winning a map.

After winning their first two series of the season against KRU Esports (2-0) and Leviatan (2-1), FURIA Esports suffered their first loss of the VCT 2023 Americas League on Monday, when they got swept (0-2) by LOUD. It was a one-sided series, with FURIA collecting just 13 rounds in total (nine on Split and four on Icebox), but that loss doesn’t mean much.
FURIA Esports are still one of the strongest teams in the league, but much like any other VCT Americas League squad, they’re not nearly as good as LOUD. So despite that loss, there are no reasons to feel overly concerned about FURIA.
Evil Geniuses are 1-2 after three weeks of play, with two losses against Cloud9 (0-2) and 100 Thieves (0-2), while their sole victory came against KRU Esports (2-1) on Sunday. Yet even that series was very close (13-11, 11-13, 13-7), so it’s hard to praise EG too much for their bounce-back victory.
As the latest Valorant betting odds show, FURIA should secure a comfortable win on Saturday, and based on what Evil Geniuses have shown so far, it’s hard to doubt that.
