VCT Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen kicks off on July 10 as the 12 teams battle for a shot at the trophy and prize money, along with multiple bet makers releasing their odds for the upcoming matches and tournament winner.

Most of the odds set for the second major tournament in the Valorant Champions Tour are unsurprising, but are nonetheless intriguing for fans to understand what the market is currently values before it sets off.

All odds for the various bets are taken from Bovada Sportsbook, GG.Bet and Galaxy.bet. All odds will be shown in decimal value.

North America has teams labeled as favorites to win Masters Copenhagen.

Favorites

Team Bovada GG.Bet Galaxy
OpTic Gaming 3.5 3.4 3.5
LOUD 3.75 3.9 3.75
Fnatic 3.75 4.3 4.50
XSET 6 6 5.50

The favorites are the same across the board and are no surprise to anyone that has been paying attention to international Valorant. OpTic and LOUD were the two finalists in the last VCT Masters tournament and Fnatic are coming in as the top seed from EMEA, a region with a Masters and Valorant Champions title to its name.

XSET are new to the international scene but coming from North America, another region with multiple titles, and beating OpTic in the finals has seemingly given them a boost.

FunPlus Phoenix is the fifth-most favored squad to win the tournament for all three bookmakers, but with their roster situation in flux it’s hard to put them as any kind of favorite.

Longshots

Team Bovada GG.Bet Galaxy
NORTHEPTION 51 53 51
Leviatán 76 80 76
KRÜ Esports 76 80 76
Xerxia 151 160 151

The teams with the lowest odds according to these bet makers are also of no surprise. NORTHEPTION is a new team to the international space, but thanks to ZETA DIVSION’s run to the lower bracket final in Iceland the Japanese region has gained some legitimacy amongst fans.

KRÜ Esports has made a dent at the international level before, but only as far as the semi-finals. Leviatán are at their first major event but are seeded directly into the playoffs so their path to the finals is only a few wins if they make a miracle run.

Xerxia, formerly under the X10 Esports name in 2021, has been to almost every international event in Valorant so far but have yet to make any kind of dent. Based off of their last place performance at Stage 1 Masters, they look to have locked up the longest odds of any team at the event.

Favorites

Team Bovada GG.Bet Galaxy
OpTic 1.71 1.8 1.72
LOUD 1.91 2.2 1.90
Fnatic 1.91 2.6 2.25
XSET 3 3.5 2.75

Little deviation here again as the favorites to win are also the favorites to reach the grand final. Notably, XSET is the only squad that would significantly pay out if someone bet on them to appear in the finals as OpTic, LOUD and Fnatic would return only a fraction of each $1 bet on them to reach that stage of the event.

Longshots

NORTHEPTION 51 53 51
Leviatán 76 80 76
KRÜ Esports 76 80 76
Xerxia 151 160 151

Again, not much has changed here with the longshots. For context around the other teams in attendance, most sites have these four listed far away from the fifth and sixth longest chances of making or winning the finals.

Guild Esports has the fifth lowest chances of making the grand final, on GG.Bet, the EMEA team has 10.5 odds. That is a 42.5 jump from Guild to NORTHEPTION.

Brazil 4 4.3

South Korea 17 17
Japan 51 55
Latin America 76 83

The region of the upcoming winner of Stage 2 Masters is an interesting prop bet as North America and EMEA highlight the favorites and the rest of the five regions give a significant return. Historically the two favorites have been some of the only international grand finalists that Valorant has ever had until LOUD matched up against OpTic in Stage 1.

With LOUD still a favorite to make the finals, putting money on Brazil may not be a bad investment for some. South Korea and Latin America are also two regions that have significant return if one of the teams win the event.

DRX, the South Korean squad, have made almost every Masters event and have been due a deep run, or a trophy, in the eyes of some. For Latin America, the region may not have the best results but fans would have two chances at winning the event thanks to its two representatives which could be valuable to some betters.

Valorant fans can place their bets and then sit and watch the event as VCT Masters Copenhagen starts off with the group stage on July 10 and the playoffs on July 14.
