VCT 2025 Pacific Stage 2 betting picks – Saturday, August 9

The penultimate day of VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 Pacific Stage 2 features three teams who have nothing more to fight for as Global Esports take on DRX, followed by a clash between ZETA DIVISION and BOOM Esports. Even so, there are some solid esports betting opportunities out there for Saturday, August 9.

Global Esports have managed one victory over the first three weeks of play in VCT 2025 Pacific Stage 2. But due to their loss against Team Secret, they have no chance of finishing top four and advancing to the playoffs.

DRX, on the other hand, are guaranteed a top-three placement and a direct bye to the upper bracket. They are still in the running for the No.1 seed in Group Alpha, so this match is anything but a formality.

DRX have been ramping up in recent weeks, with a dominant victory over Team Secret and a very impressive 2-0 sweep of the defending champions, Rex Regum Qeon. The top VALORANT betting sites have them priced as heavy favorites, and it is hard to argue against that.

BOOM ESPORTS vs ZETA DIVISION

Best Odds: BOOM +115 at BetOnline | ZETA -125 at SportsBetting.ag

BOOM Esports and ZETA DIVISION have nothing more to fight for, as they are guaranteed to finish Group Omega outside of the top four.

  The bookies' bookie

BOOM are winless, while ZETA DIVISION managed to produce a huge upset when they beat Paper Rex 2-0 on Sunday. While ZETA have had their moments this stage, they are not substantially better than BOOM.

Games like this usually lead to players taking their comfort picks, and there is no serious preparation going into it. Still, we have to give a nod to ZETA DIVISION, mainly because they are very good on BOOM’s best map, Lotus.
