Team Liquid are Europe’s fourth seed at the tournament, but that number is misleading. Indeed, Liquid underdelivered in Iceland (4th) and did not even make it to the Berlin Masters, although they beat most other European teams en route to the Red Bull Home Ground #2 title at the start of November.
Latin America’s top seed, KRÜ Esports, are known for stomping weaker teams. Likewise, they’re known for struggling against the elite rosters, which is unfortunate since they are in the group of death with Sentinels and Liquid.
Had this been Liquid’s first match since the VCT 2021 EMEA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, we would consider KRÜ with a map advantage; however, given how much better Liquid have looked with Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom, we have to take the favourites to cover the round line.
Team Liquid -5.5 rounds

| VALORANT Betting Odds: | FURIA +638 at BetOnline | SEN -1000 at BetOnline |

FURIA Esports have done reasonably well in domestic competitions and enter VALORANT Champions 2021 as Brazil’s third seed. But while FURIA have looked good in the Brazilian scene, they likely won’t achieve much on the international stage.
Sentinels dominated the Valorant esports scene in early 2021 but have fallen off recently, failing to make much noise in Berlin. Still, this is an extremely stacked roster that can easily win the title if they get back on track.
With players like Tyson “TenZ” Ngo on the team, it’s tough to doubt Sentinels, who shouldn’t struggle against second-tier teams such as FURIA. If they play at their best, we could even see a 13-0 map, but in any case, Sentinels shouldn’t drop more than seven rounds.
