• Paper Rex – consistent international contender
• G2 Esports – strong Americas performance

Even if you’re not betting, these are the standard markets used by e-sports bookmakers (top VALORANT bookmakers in 2026 include GG.BET, Thunderpick, Stake, and BetOnline, offering extensive betting markets on VCT events) in their match offers:

• Match winner → Which team wins the match
• Map winner → Winner of a specific map
• Correct score → Exact match result (e.g., 2–0, 2–1)
• Total maps played → Over/under (e.g., will it go to 3 maps?)
• Round handicap → One team starts with a round advantage/disadvantage
