Прогноз на матч: Team Heretics - KOI | VALORANT
VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA Last Chance QualifierTeam Heretics and KOI will meet in the quarter-finals of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier. The match features the fact that the losing team will leave and go straight on to prepare for the next season.
To be honest, there's not even a favourite here, as both teams failed in the league's regular season without showing any play. And KOI were a specialist in general, but they lost to their direct rivals with enviable regularity.
All in all, we're in for a battle of truly equal teams, each unlikely to make it to LA. Still, I'd rely on three points here.

Moreover, KOI was initially not considered a favorite for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, but started the regular season with a sensational win over Natus Vincere.

Team Heretics vs KOI
Last time around, the teams played Fracture, Lotus and Ascent and played a rather rip-roaring game that only saw them show something in their spades. Little has changed since then, and in the current circumstances the teams are unlikely to qualify.
Still, Team Heretics and KOI will surely want to find out who is the worst outside the Karmine Corp universe. Oh, and the teams are very similar in terms of capabilities.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on mapm 2.5 more.
