VALORANT Pacific Stage 2 betting continues with VARREL, DRX, ZETA DIVISION and Nongshim RedForce in action
VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 Pacific Stage 2 Week 3 comes to a close on Sunday, August 2, when VARREL face DRX, followed by a meeting between ZETA DIVISION and Nongshim RedForce.
Here you can find free VALORANT betting previews and predictions for the two games, with expert picks and odds courtesy of the top-rated bookmakers for esports punters.
VARREL are 2-1 ahead of their clash with DRX, with wins against Team Secret and T1, and a 1-2 loss against DetonatioN FocusMe.
DRX have been less successful, with just one victory against DetonatioN FocusMe and two defeats against Team Secret and Paper Rex.
In their last game against Paper Rex, DRX suffered a bad loss, with 1-13 on Summit and 6-13 on Breeze. While that does not inspire much confidence, DRX have had a week to pick themselves up and prepare something for VARREL.
VARREL have been more successful, but only slightly, and their hyper-aggressive style of play is both their strength and weakness, and something DRX can exploit.
Despite their poor record, DRX are a more experienced team, and the added time to prepare themselves for this clash will play a big factor.
DRX to win
Priced at +333 on the best VALORANT bookmakers, ZETA DIVISION are expected to struggle against Nongshim RedForce on Sunday, despite managing a better record ahead of the weekend clash.
ZETA are 2-1, with a loss against Gen.G Esports and two wins against Rex Regum Qeon and FULL SENSE.
Nongshim RedForce, on the other side, are 1-2 with defeats against FULL SENSE and Gen.G, and one win against Global Esports.
The record, however, does not tell the whole story. Nongshim RedForce are still one of VCT Pacific’s strongest teams, who showed some improvement last week.
Moreover, RedForce have had a week to prepare for this game, while ZETA already played one match this week.
ZETA DIVISION have proven they can bite, but they have also yet to defeat any good teams, as even their victory against the struggling FULL SENSE was too close for comfort.
This is a perfect chance for Nongshim RedForce to bounce back.
