EDward Gaming were billed as one of the main candidates to win VALORANT Masters London, and they have yet to disappoint. The Chinese squad are in great shape, having won all of their last five VCT games, although that run comes with an asterisk.

Across those five games, EDG have beaten XLG Esports three times, including once in the Masters London upper bracket semifinals, and edged past FUT Esports in the first round of the knockout stage.

So, while this is a very experienced roster, EDward Gaming have also not beaten many elite teams during their current run.

Paper Rex, like EDG, have played just two games so far in London. However, they crushed Leviatan and did not struggle to beat Team Vitality in the upper bracket semifinals.

As pre-tournament favourites, Paper Rex are living up to expectations and have yet to show anything that would make them easy to doubt.

EDG should not be underestimated, as they can cause issues with their firepower. But Paper Rex have been on a different level this stage, and even after the Neon nerfs, they have not shown any signs of slowing down.

TEAM VITALITY vs LEVIATAN

Best Odds	VIT $1.72 at Stake | LEV $2.00 at Betway

Team Vitality are $1.72 favourites on the top-rated esports bookmakers to take down Leviatan, which gives them a 58.1% implied probability of success.

That looks like a fair number, even after their crushing loss against Paper Rex in the upper bracket semifinals.

  Bet the Future

Leviatan have emerged as VCT Americas’ best team in London after a 2-0 run in the Swiss Stage and lower bracket victories against Team Heretics and XLG Esports.

However, Leviatan came very close to crashing out of the Swiss Stage, and they were only a couple of rounds away from getting eliminated by Team Heretics.

Credit goes to Leviatan for making it through, but they have been showing cracks and have been exposed several times for their predictable style of play.

Relying mostly on firepower, Leviatan can be very dangerous if they get the ball rolling early, but they have holes in their map pool, which Vitality can take full advantage of.

Team Vitality are more flexible with their agent pool and are one of the few remaining teams who do not rely on double-duelist compositions. That, combined with a deeper map pool, makes the VCT EMEA representatives a solid pick at these prices.
