Leviatan are the third-favourites to win VALORANT Champions 2024, behind Fnatic and Gen.G. This comes after they dominated VCT 2024 Americas Stage 2, where they took the title without losing a single series.
Talon Esports qualified for the VALORANT world championship by finishing VCT 2024 Pacific Stage 2 in fourth place. This is not too impressive, considering Talon were significantly weaker than the league’s top teams: DRX, Paper Rex, and Gen.G Esports.
Group C is very top-heavy, and even though past international VALORANT esports events have produced some upsets, it is doubtful that an experienced roster like Leviatan will slip against Talon Esports.

After crashing out of VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1 in 9th-10th place, Team Vitality went through a resurgence in the second half of the VALORANT Champions Tour season. They placed second in Stage 2, with their only defeats coming against Fnatic — including one in the grand final.
Team Vitality are expected to do well in South Korea, especially due to their ability to punish lesser squads and those with weak map pools. That should benefit them as Vitality take on Trace Esports, who only seem to do well on Haven (61% win rate) and Ascent (65%).
Unfortunately for the Chinese side, Vitality also have a win rate of better than 60% on Ascent along with a solid 54% on Haven — all while playing much stronger teams than Trace Esports encountered in VCT China. Barring any surprises, this should not be a close series.
