Bleed Esports have a very successful Valorant esports season behind them. The Singaporean team won both VALORANT Challengers 2023 Malaysia & Singapore splits and earned promotion to the Valorant Champions Tour by winning VCT 2023 Ascension Pacific.
Bleed Esports made some roster changes in September, acquiring Javier “Egoist” Chua and North American Valorant superstar Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker. The new-look roster has yet to play an official match, but this looks like a competitive side on paper.
Natus Vincere made just one change this offseason, replacing Mehmet “cNed” İpek with Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks in October. Like Bleed, NaVi field a strong lineup, and they’ve also not played an official match yet.
Since NaVi hail from a stronger region, it makes sense that they’re priced as favourites, but their opponents are not to be underestimated. Bleed Esports field a very stacked roster, and they’re facing a rusty team. The offered Valorant betting odds should be closer to even money.

On Thursday, DetonatioN FocusMe announced a business partnership with Crazy Raccoon involving the merger of the two Japanese Valorant rosters. This means DFM have acquired some of the top talents from the region, although they haven’t had a chance to play together yet.
Natus Vincere have also made some changes to their lineup this offseason, but those were far less drastic. Unlike DFM, who hit a reset button on their lineup, NaVi replaced just one player and kept the core intact. Still, NaVi’s results toward the end of the 2023 VCT season weren’t the best.
On the top Valorant betting sites, we can back DetonatioN FocusMe with a 5.5-round advantage for the first map at -108.7, which is too generous to pass on.

At the start of November, ZETA DIVISION made some significant changes to their Valorant division and acquired three new members in Yushin “Yuran” Hato, Hiroki “hiroronn” Yanai, and former FURIA Esports coach Carlos “Carlão” Mohn. Those changes should improve a team that was already strong and didn’t look too bad at Red Bull Home Ground #4 a couple of weeks ago.
Based on what we’ve seen from ZETA DIVISION, they deserve to be priced as favourites against DetonatioN FocusMe, who are a bit of an enigma with the new lineup. But at +320, DFM are underrated.
DFM’s new lineup could fall apart, but they’re just as likely to do well. That’s why we’re taking a smaller position on the outsiders to spring an upset.
