Valorant returns to Brazil for six days of intense action as eight of the best teams in Game Changers look to settle their differences in São Paulo. With an insane prize pool of $500,000, this is looking to be the most fiery Game Changers tournament to date. There are some solid teams in excellent form, so it is safe to say that the matches will be heated and the betting opportunities will be very appealing.
Former champions G2 Gozen will be heading into São Paulo with high expectations. Even though the current squad has some new faces like Vivian “roxi” Schilling and Sarah “sarah” Ahmed from the old 2022 Game Changers championship squad, the team is looking strong. Despite finishing at a lower position in recent events such as Game Changers 2023 Stage III: EMEA and Red Bull Home Ground #4, G2 has had a successful year. But will their run be unbroken this time as well?
The only team that looks strong enough to take down Gozen is Shopify Rebellion. Shopify Rebellion has better odds by a long margin of winning the whole thing outright and snatching the crown from G2. Besides them, others like BBL Queens and Team Liquid Brazil have shown some great potential as well. Read on as we take a look at the odds from bookmaker William Hill before VCT Game Changers Championship 2023 and highlight the best bets to take this week.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: November 27th, 7:00 P.M. (GMT)
Currently, dark horse Shopify Rebellion has the best odds of winning the whole event outright, which is 2.00. Right behind them are BBL Queens, who won the VCT 2023: Game Changers EMA Stage III on odds of 3.00. After that, there’s Team Liquid Brazil with 6.00 odds, then a significant gap to Evil Geniuses GC on 13.00 odds. To round out the top five we have the current champs, G2 Gozen, with 17.00 odds.
The remaining teams, Chao Hui EDG, Team SMG, and KRÜ Blaze will have odds starting from 26.00 to 67.00 and are major underdogs for the VCT Game Changers Championships 2023.
The only question everyone has on their mind is can G2 Gozen be dethroned from being the current Game Changers champion? The answer is most likely yes. Despite having a strong start to their season in 2023, they have fallen short recently and have stopped improving. Teams like Shopify Rebellion, BBL Queens and Team Liquid Brazil have shown major advancements coming into this event. Even the odds suggest the same outcome since Shopify Rebellion has much better odds of winning outright.
Considering the numbers and odds, the best option here is to go for a safe wager on Shopify Rebellion who have the best chance of taking the whole series. Due to their massive improvements and recent victories, they will have all the momentum heading into this event. The team with the second best odds, BBL Queens, is also a good option to go for, as they have shown remarkable developments during Stage III of Game Changers 2023: EMEA. Due to these circumstances, we are expecting to see G2 Gozen get dethroned from their mantle and the crowning of a new champion in the VCT Game Changers Championship 2023.
