Valiance vs Team Heretics Prediction: Bet on the Favorite

On Tueday, August 30, the second match of the EU Masters 2022 Summer second day will take place, with Valiance and Team Heretics facing off.

The Amazon European Masters 2022 Summer (EU Masters Summer 2022) is the tenth edition of Europe's premier semi-professional tournament, featuring 11 European League of Legends (ERL) regional leagues. Each ERL sends its best regional competitors to represent their country. The EU Masters serves as a secondary level of competition under the LEC and is the successor to the Challenger Series. In the main event, 16 competitors compete to become the crowned champions of the LEC Secondary Round and the €150,000 prize pool between them. This tournament takes place from August 29 to September 25, 2022.

Valiance was able to advance to the main stage by winning the regional tournament, but it's not that simple, the region not being very strong, and the guys were sent to a group where the opponents are a head higher. It will be very difficult to reach the playoff stage, but there is always a chance. The first opponent for Valiance were Team BDS Academy, who left no chance for the guys. Today Valiance will meet Team Heretics, which will be very difficult to beat.

Valiance have already played in the EU Masters. That was twice, but both times they were not very successful. The organization came in second place at the regional stage, which sent them to the Play-in stage only, where Valiance did not make it out of the group, leaving the tournament rather quickly. That was the case in 2020 and early 2022. This time, Valiance was able to win the final, which sent the guys straight into the main stage of the EU Masters.

Valiance is a Croatian cybersports organization formerly known as CR4ZY until their rebranding in June 2021. The organization appeared in the Esports Balkan League since Upper Echelon announced disbandment, and CR4ZY took their place. At that time, the organization was able to finish second, thus reaching the EU Masters. The guys did not make it through the Play-in stage, leaving the tournament in 21st-24th place. In 2021, the organization took 3-4th place which was not enough to qualify for the EU Masters. In 2022, the organization placed second again, thereby qualifying for the EU Masters, but again could not make the Play-In stage. Valiance won the summer split, thus getting into the main stage of the EU Masters, which is the record for them at the moment.

Roster:

• iBo — Marcin Lebuda (Top Laner);
• Sheo — bluerzor (Jungler);
• Zwyroo — Artur Trojan (Mid Laner);
• Jackspektra — Jakob Gullvag Kepple (Bot Laner);
• whiteinn — Alexandru Kolozsvari (Support).

Team Heretics' performance at the EU Masters started out pretty well. After winning their opening match against SK Gaming Prime, the guys were well motivated to advance to the next stage. Today Team Heretics will meet Valiance, who can be easily beaten.

We've never seen Team Heretics at the EU Masters before because of their not-so-good results. The guys won the summer split, to the surprise of many. Thanks to this, Team Heretics went straight into the main stage of the EU Masters.

Team Heretics is a Spanish eSports organization. Team Heretics briefly participated in League of Legends in 2017, competing in the Spanish Challenger Series and the second division of the LVP Superliga. They returned in 2022 with an invitation to the second division of the LVP Superliga. Before the start of the 2022 season, it was announced that Team Heretics would purchase Cream Real Betis' spot in the 2022 Superliga and their spot in the second division would go to ZETA. Team Heretics finished 8th in their debut season. On July 27, 2022, Team Heretics announced that they had purchased a LEC slot from Misfits Gaming for the 2023 season, so this may be the first and last EU Masters in which Team Heretics will play.

This is going to be the first-ever encounter between the teams.

We suggest betting on Heretics’ Frags Handicap (-12.5) for odds of 1.83.

You should also consider betting on Total Frags Under (27.5) for 1.91.
