VALORANT Masters London 2026 UB Semifinals Betting Tips – Monday, June 15
VALORANT Masters London 2026 continues on Monday, June 15, with two upper bracket semifinal fixtures, as XLG Esports clash with EDward Gaming before Paper Rex meet Team Vitality.
Esportbet brings you free VALORANT betting tips for the two games, along with expert picks and odds from the best esports bookmakers.
XLG ESPORTS vs EDWARD GAMING
XLG Esports and EDward Gaming will clash on Monday in a rematch of the VCT China Stage 1 final, which ended in a 3-2 EDG victory.
That result marked EDG’s second head-to-head victory of the season, having already beaten XLG in the Stage 1 upper bracket final.
Both teams found success in the first round of the playoffs. EDward Gaming defeated FUT Esports, while XLG Esports upset G2 Esports to continue their strong run in London.
While that was EDG’s first and only game of the tournament, XLG have already made it through the Swiss Stage, beating Dragon Ranger Gaming and Global Esports along the way.
Now on a three-game winning streak, XLG have built up some momentum, which matters here. They have proven they are comfortable in the current meta and have enough firepower to make a deep run in this event.
However, EDG remain VCT China’s top dogs, and they appear to have figured XLG Esports out. XLG have the tools to make this competitive, but they have been unable to get past EDG this stage, and there is not enough to suggest that changes on Monday.
EDward Gaming to win
PAPER REX vs TEAM VITALITY
Paper Rex kicked off their VALORANT Masters London campaign in style, crushing Leviatan 13-1 on Ascent before closing out the series with a 13-10 win on Lotus.
Team Vitality, on the other hand, cruised through the Swiss Stage with wins against Dragon Ranger Gaming and FUT Esports, then added a convincing 2-0 sweep of Team Heretics in the upper bracket quarterfinals.
Paper Rex travelled to London as one of the main title candidates, and there is nothing to suggest they cannot make a serious run for the trophy. However, it is fair to question whether the VCT Pacific champions deserve to be -227.27 favourites against the high-flying Team Vitality.
Vitality have looked nothing short of excellent at this event and seem to be doing just fine even after the Neon nerfs. They still have more to prove against the very best teams, but their current level suggests they should be priced much closer to even money.
Paper Rex are dangerous, but the number on Vitality is too good to ignore. At +162, Team Vitality are an excellent outsider pick.
Team Vitality to win
