BBL Esports’ improvement over the last few weeks is quite remarkable. They went from 0-4 to 3-4 and are now in a good spot to finish the season inside the top six. Over the last three series, BBL Esports have won against Team Vitality (2-0), Team Heretics (2-1), and KOI (2-1), which isn’t anything spectacular, but great.
Like BBL, Team Liquid have looked much better of late and enter this match with a 4-3 record and 2-1 from their last three. They defeated Heretics (2-0) in Week 4, added a hard-fought 2-1 win against Giants in Week 5, but then had to admit defeat to Natus Vincere (0-2) last week.
Liquid still played well against NaVi (10-13, 10-13) despite missing Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel, who fell ill ahead of the match. It’s uncertain whether Sayf will return on Friday, but even if he does, we wouldn’t price Team Liquid at -227.27.
BBL Esports have shown enough recently for us to believe that this will be a close affair, and even though Team Liquid look better on paper, value is with BBL Esports at the offered Valorant betting odds.

KOI vs TEAM HERETICS VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

KOI are in a terrible spot, and unless they find a way to bounce back in Week 7, they’ll finish the season outside of the top six. But despite entering Week 7 of VCT 2023 EMEA League with a 1-5 record and a five-game losing streak, KOI are priced at +110 to defeat Team Heretics.
That isn’t too shocking considering Team Heretics have won just two series this season (2-5); however, they beat Giants (2-0) last week and have produced a few strong showings over the last couple of rounds.
In Week 5, Team Heretics nearly won against BBL Esports (1-2) and forced Team Liquid to overtime (8-13, 15-17) a week prior. This is still a match between two struggling Valorant teams; however, it’s very difficult to trust KOI, who have not shown anything noteworthy since the season’s first week.
