Team Heretics vs DRX - Which team will be eliminated from Valorant Champions 2024?


Predictions

Team Heretics have looked extraordinary throughout the 2024 season. Despite not earning a regional trophy, it was easily the best EMEA team this year and attained high-placed finishes in most events. In Valorant Champions 2024, the team embarked on a three-match win streak before being stopped by Leviatán in the Playoffs Upper Semi-Finals.

2024 has been a difficult year for DRX. While the regional performances have always remained consistent, the team couldn't make a single international appearance until Valorant Champions 2024. However, this new roster, comprising mostly of rookies, has been able to surprise everyone. Their flawless Group Stage run was a testament to their high potential. Unfortunately, DRX could not continue the same in Playoffs as it was stopped by Sentinels.

The Team Heretics vs DRX matchup favors the former as they have been significantly better throughout this season. However, DRX is a great team with good fundamentals that can make this series quite competitive.
