Valiance vs Team Heroic

Loot.bet Cup 2 is in semi-finals stage. There is 4 teams left, Heroic, Valiance, Mousesports and Vega S.

Valiance already surprised us twice in a playoff stage of this tournament. First they won against GODSENT and then knocked out Hellraisers (some people call them Gods of online matches) with 2-0. Today they are playing against Heroic for a spot in the Grand Finals.

Some basic statistics:

Heroic

• Rank: 19
• Matches: 345
• Won: 182 Draw: 0 Lost: 163
• Win ratio: 1.12
• Opponent avg. rank: 29.27

Valiance

• Rank: 30
• Matches: 58
• Won: 42 Draw: 0 Lost: 16
• Win ratio: 2.63
• Opponent avg. rank: 76.83

Valiance is doing great lately, they won 4 out of 5 last matches, and those matches were mostly against tier 1 teams. Heroic won 3 out of 5. Head to head they only played 1 time and Valiance won in overtime on the Train, 22-18 was the final score.

Statistically speaking they have a great chance of winning here, they are a pretty new team but with 2,63 win ratio, this is outstanding.

Well, enough with statistics. Let's go to the facts. Valiance is not really a new team, they already have build up a great map pool, they played together under a different name, they were called Binary Dragons. Niko's cousin Nemanja 'huNter' Kovac is doing a massive job lately. He is stepping up and he is currently at 1,24 rating (2.0 rating) on HLTV. According to HLTV pools, this is 50-50% match, that is the opinion of the community and my own.

We got a decent odds 2,75 @ Bet365, and this is great for a 50-50 match. I won't bet high amount here due to my previous loses, I had a 3 bad bets in a row, those matches were close but I lost, so I would go with a medium bet here. I don't want to risk too much, we got to have profit at the end of the month so my tip here is a medium bet 5/10 on Valiance. GL & HF
