VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 continues on July 25 with PCIFIC Esports vs Team Vitality and Eternal Fire vs GIANTX.
VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 EMEA Stage 2 continues on Saturday, July 25, with another pair of games as PCIFIC Esports look to upset Team Vitality, followed by a clash between the struggling Eternal Fire and GIANTX.
Esportbet brings you VALORANT betting predictions and free expert tips for the two fixtures, along with odds courtesy of the best bookmakers for esports punters.
Team Vitality enter the second week of VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 with a 1-1 record, which includes a 2-1 victory against Natus Vincere and a 0-2 loss against BBL.
PCIFIC Esports, on the other side, have yet to taste victory, with two defeats against Gentle Mates and FUT Esports.
PCIFIC showed some fight in their losses, as they won maps in each of the two series, one on Split and one on Lotus. They also came close to beating FUT Esports, but came up short due to a slow start on the defending side on Split.
While PCIFIC have been playing better than anticipated, they should not threaten Team Vitality, who are among the strongest teams in the league.
PCIFIC not only lack the individual quality, but their map pool is also lacking, making them a tough sell even at these numbers.
Team Vitality -1.5 maps
Eternal Fire are 1-2 ahead of their clash with GIANTX. They won their first game of the stage against Team Liquid, but slipped in the next two, with 0-2 losses against Karmine Corp and Team Heretics.
In Eternal Fire’s defence, the game against KC should have extended to three maps. On the other hand, EF got smoked by Team Heretics on Haven, losing the map 0-13.
GIANTX have so far lost against Fnatic and Karmine Corp. They showed some fight, forcing Fnatic into overtime on Ascent, but were completely toothless on Sunset and across the entire series against Karmine Corp.
GIANTX are considered one of the weakest teams in VCT EMEA, and they have yet to show anything to suggest otherwise.
Eternal Fire are going through a rough patch, but qualitatively, they are a better team and should be favoured.
Eternal Fire to win
