Meeting statistics

With a silver medal from the VCT 2024: EMEA Kickoff, Team Heretics established themselves early in the 2024 VALORANT season. They faltered in Madrid, the capital of their home country, with a lackluster top-eight result, but they quickly recovered domestically, placing second in VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1. Team Heretics had flaws during the first half of the season, but their postseason comeback was impressive. Despite the prevailing opinion, they are well-equipped to succeed in China. Conversely, DRG are excellent candidates for wooden spoons. This is the reason.

Dragon Ranger Gaming is the clear underdog in the betting markets going into the VCT 2024: Masters Shanghai. On the other hand, Team Heretics is positioned on the sixth line in the title betting. As the third seed from China, DRG made it into this event. While that’s admirable, they are from a weaker area where EDward Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix are unquestionably the two best teams.

Match analytics

You won’t profit much if you choose Team Heretics as match winners due to the low value set on them by bookies. Even a -1.5 handicap on the Spaniards isn’t too profitable. We recommend putting wagers on First map – round handicap (incl. overtime) of -4.5 on Team Heretics, with odds of 1.8 on Pokerdom.
