      Despite a shaky start, LOUD managed to secure a convincing 2-0 victory, dominating their map pick of Sunset with a 13-5 score line.

      Despite FPX’s unconventional compositions, LOUD’s aggressive defensive pressure and superior utility usage proved too much for their opponents.

      Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro’s exceptional performance stood out, leading LOUD to victory with impeccable gameplay.

      The second map, Breeze, presented a tougher challenge for LOUD as FPX fought back fiercely, led by Kale “autumn” Dunne’s standout performance on Yoru.

      Despite Paper Rex’s relentless aggression, Heretics maintained composure and teamwork to secure a 13-10 victory.

      The decider map, Split, witnessed a dominant performance from Paper Rex, as they overcame an early setback to secure a convincing 13-7 victory.

          KARMINE CORP vs FUNPLUS PHOENIX VCT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

          Best Odds: KC -526.32 at BetOnline | FPX +335 at BetOnline

          Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/VALORANT)

          FunPlus Phoenix qualified for Madrid by placing second in the VCT 2024 China Kickoff tournament, where they only looked good against some of the region��s weakest teams. That automatically makes them the lowest-rated squad travelling to Spain.

          Karmine Corp were billed as one of the weakest EMEA teams entering the 2024 season but ended up winning the regional tournament with convincing victories against Team Heretics and Fnatic. They have played only four games so far, so it��s not fair to make any conclusions yet; however, based on what the new-look Karmine Corp have shown, they look poised to make some noise in Madrid.

          VALORANT betting sites are offering -129.87 on Karmine Corp to sweep FunPlus Phoenix, which typically isn��t a bet we would take for the opening series of an international tournament. But the quality gap is big enough to justify a wager on KC at the offered price.

          LOUD are priced as +250 favourites in the VCT Masters Madrid 2024 outright markets, which is a bit of an exaggeration. Even though the Brazilian side performed well at VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff, they also played a couple of close series against weaker sides.

          Gen.G won the VCT 2024 Pacific Kickoff, but that doesn��t mean they��re ready to face LOUD, mainly because Gen.G hail from a weaker region. But Paper Rex did some serious damage last season in international events, so the region��s strength argument doesn��t apply everywhere.

          LOUD should win, but they looked inconsistent during VCT 2024 Americas, so we prefer to side with Gen.G with a map advantage.

            Yet, this young roster has defied expectations, securing a spot at VCT Masters Madrid without dropping a single map thus far.

            Heretics’ victories in the VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA Kickoff have been both decisive and impressive, all secured with a 2-0 margin.

            They kicked off their winning streak by defeating former VALORANT world champion Mehmet “cNed” ?pek and the formidable Turkish super team on FUT Esports.

            Subsequently, they showcased dominance against Karmine Corp with commanding 13-4 wins on both Split and Lotus.

            The playoffs presented their toughest challenge yet in the form of the reunited Natus Vincere roster with Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks.

            Despite NAVI’s initial resistance, Heretics emerged victorious, surviving Sunset in overtime and then crushing NAVI on their own pick of Breeze.

            Analysts had initially underestimated Heretics, ranking them low in their power rankings due to their lack of experience and the inclusion of a substitute player.

            While in-game leader Ri?ardas “Boo” Luka?evi?ius provided most of the VCT experience, it was his brother, Dominykas “MiniBoo” Luka?evi?ius, who shone the brightest.

            MiniBoo leads all players at the event in key statistics such as average combat score, damage per round, and first kills per round, showcasing his exceptional talent and impact on the team.

            Heretics’ qualification for Masters Madrid marks a significant achievement, with the opportunity to claim three championship points by winning the Kickoff finals.

            Their unexpected success has made them home crowd favourites and a team to watch out for on the international stage.

            On the other hand, Fnatic, a dominant force in European VALORANT, suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Karmine Corp.

            Despite boasting a star-studded roster, Fnatic succumbed to Karmine Corp’s aggressive gameplay and superior team coordination.

            This unexpected loss marks Fnatic’s first absence from an international tournament in three years, highlighting the rise of new challengers like Karmine Corp and Team Heretics in the EMEA region.

            Karmine Corp’s victory over Fnatic in the semi-finals of the VCT EMEA Kickoff Playoffs was nothing short of remarkable.

            With standout performances from players like Martin “marteen” P��tek and Marshall ��N4RRATE�� Massey, Karmine Corp emerged as the victors, securing their spot in the grand final and qualifying for VCT Masters Madrid.

            Overall, these developments signal a shifting landscape in the EMEA VALORANT scene, with emerging teams like Heretics and Karmine Corp challenging the established order and setting the stage for an exciting and competitive season ahead.
