G2 Esports continue to exceed expectations, as they’re now just two steps away from securing the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024 Masters Shanghai title. They fought through the group stage with two close victories against T1 and Team Heretics but shifted into a higher gear in the playoffs, beating Paper Rex and Team Heretics for the second time.
Gen.G also had a bumpy road to the upper-bracket final. They had to reverse-sweep Fnatic in the first round and took down 100 Thieves in two maps. Gen.G were already serious title contenders before their first match, and so far, they’ve looked good. But they’re a bit too pricey.
G2 Esports have proven to be a very resilient team, capable of playing to their opponent’s level. And while this will be their toughest test yet, VCT 2024 Americas runners-up can push Gen.G to their limits.

100 Thieves entered VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai in excellent form and were even favourites to defeat Gen.G in the upper bracket semifinal. But they ran out of steam and lost in two maps.
Since then, 100 Thieves added another huge scalp to their collection with a 2-1 victory against Paper Rex, which put them back in the conversation of potential champions. Likewise, Team Heretics have looked a bit up and down so far this tournament.
They clawed their way through the group stage, defeated EDward Gaming, and got reverse swept by G2 Esports before crushing their regional rivals, FUT Esports, in the lower bracket. Even in VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1, Heretics needed some time to warm up and now seem to be playing at their best.
Even though 100T are a strong team, they’ve not shown enough for the esports betting sites to price them as such big favourites. This fixture is closer to a coin flip than what the VALORANT odds suggest.
