Esportbet brings you free VALORANT betting predictions and picks for Wednesday’s games, along with odds courtesy of the top-rated esports bookmakers.
TYLOO had a promising run through the VCT China Stage 2 group stage, placing second in Group Alpha with a 4-1 record.
JD Gaming were far less successful, finishing fifth in their group campaign with just one victory.
After a rough group stage, JD Gaming fought their way through the Play-Ins, beating FunPlus Phoenix, EDward Gaming, and Trace Esports while showing much better form.
In the first round of the playoffs, JDG also defeated Nova Esports, securing their third straight 2-0 sweep.
JD Gaming are ramping up while TYLOO have been slowing down, showing some cracks in the final weeks of group play and in their 0-2 loss against XLG Esports in the Seed Deciders.
Qualitatively, TYLOO are not that much better than JD Gaming, and their group record does not prove much.
In the current shape, JDG are a far more inviting bet at +150.
JD Gaming to win
The best VALORANT bookmakers have XLG Esports listed as -188.68 favourites to handle Bilibili Gaming on Wednesday and get their revenge for the 1-2 loss in the final week of group play.
Despite the defeat against Bilibili Gaming, XLG Esports held on well during the regular season, and they have since defeated TYLOO in the Seed Deciders and All Gamers in the first round of the playoffs.
Bilibili Gaming finished the group stage with a 4-1 record, then fell against Nova Esports in the Seed Deciders and edged past Trace Esports in the upper bracket quarterfinals.
The last clash between XLG and BLG was close, and XLG have not shown much more of late, so the offered odds are hard to explain.
At plus money, Bilibili Gaming are a solid play.
Bilibili Gaming to win
