Team Vitality's dominant run at Valorant Masters London 2026 has driven the near-certain market pricing, as the EMEA squad eliminated domestic rivals Team Heretics and FUT Esports in the Swiss stage and lower bracket while advancing deep into playoffs. Strong map wins over DRG, FUT, and Heretics, combined with a resilient lower-bracket recovery after the Paper Rex loss, position VIT as the sole remaining EMEA representative with matches left against Leviatán. FUT's early elimination and Heretics' swift exit left no realistic competition within the region. Upset potential remains limited to a sudden VIT collapse in the lower bracket semifinal or final, though recent form and head-to-head results make such shifts unlikely before resolution.
