NRG enter Week 5 of VCT 2023 Americas League with a 2-3 record and just one win from their last three series. Last week, NRG lost to Cloud9 (1-2) and won against KRU Esports (2-0) and, a week before, kneeled to MiBR (1-2) in a very close series which got decided in overtime (14-16).
Considering their shaky run through the season, it might make sense to see NRG priced as underdogs against 100 Thieves, who are 3-2 and fresh off a massive 2-1 victory against Leviatan. However, we would argue that this is NRG’s game.
100 Thieves might have won three series this season, but besides upsetting Leviatan, they’ve only beaten Evil Geniuses (2-0) and KRU Esports (2-1), and they didn’t look too convincing in either of the three series.
This looks closer to a 50/50 match than anything else, and even though neither showed anything exceptional recently, we prefer NRG at plus money.

As the latest Valorant betting odds suggest, this should be a very one-sided fixture, and it’s tough to find a reason to argue with that. MiBR have had their moments this season, including a three-map series against LOUD (1-2), but they also lost against Leviatan (0-2) and Sentinels (0-2) badly last week.
Against Sentinels, MiBR put together just 11 rounds (5-13, 6-13) and were just as disappointing against Leviatan (4-13, 3-13). Even though those are good teams, those are just two of many shaky results MiBR have produced recently.
FURIA Esports are 3-2, which isn’t great for their standards, but they usually do well against weaker teams, so facing MiBR should suit them. Since this is an all-Brazilian clash, it could lead to a very scrappy game; however, that is the type of match where FURIA Esports usually shine.
We’re getting $2.62 on FURIA to win 2-0, and that’s an excellent offer.
