VALORANT Champions 2025 Day 8 betting preview – September 20

The second pair of VALORANT Champions Elimination Matches begins on Saturday, September 20, when Bilibili Gaming take on Rex Regum Qeon, followed by an interesting affair between G2 Esports and Dragon Ranger Gaming.

Offering the teams the final chance to keep themselves in the title race, Saturday’s fixtures promise fireworks and a couple of enticing betting opportunities to explore with BetOnline.

BILBILI GAMING vs REX REGUM QEON

Best Odds: BLG +125 at SportsBetting | RRQ -175.44 at BetOnline

Rex Regum Qeon are -175.44 favorites to take down Bilibili Gaming on the top-rated VALORANT betting sites. Based on their accomplishments this season, that makes sense, although China’s No.1 squad should not be underestimated.

Cahya “monyet” Nugraha and his crew started VALORANT Champions with a 0-2 loss against Fnatic, who won with 13-10 on Ascent and 13-7 on Abyss. Bilibili Gaming fared worse in their opening match of Group B, as they had to admit defeat to MIBR with 2-13 on Haven and 9-13 on Corrode.

It was a complete collapse of Bilibili Gaming, who did not look like themselves, indicating a slight dip in form.

The removal of Icebox has hit Rex Regum Qeon’s map pool, but they remain efficient on Corrode, Sunset, and Lotus. Haven and Ascent are their weakest maps, with 40% and 20% win rates, respectively, but that is unlikely to be an issue, as Bilibili Gaming are 50% on both with a small (2-2, 1-1) sample size.

Rex Regum Qeon at -175.44 is a fair offer.

G2 ESPORTS vs DRAGON RANGER GAMING

Best Odds: G2 -1000 at SportsBetting | DRG +550 at BetOnline

One of the pre-tournament favorites, G2 Esports, have found themselves fighting for survival at VALORANT Champions 2025, after their disappointing loss to Team Heretics in the Group D opener. The VCT Americas champions did not play poorly on the day but could not find a response to Heretics’ deadly duo, Enes “RieNs” Ecirli and Benjy “benjyfishy” Fish.

Dragon Ranger Gaming suffered the same fate in the first round of play, as they had to admit defeat to T1, who bested them on Lotus and Sunset. However, both maps extended into overtime, ending with 13-15 and 14-16, respectively.

The VCT China representatives performed much better than anticipated, especially Lin “SpiritZ1” Ding-yu, who posted the day’s highest (1.31) rating. Former world champion Maximilian “Demon1” Mazanov also left a positive mark, suggesting his late addition to the roster is not an issue.

This is G2 Esports’ game to lose, but DRG looked good enough to believe they stand a chance of stealing a map. Corrode is their best chance, although Sunset and Lotus could offer an opening as well.
