Team Heretics and Karmine Corp will play in the second round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 regular season: EMEA League. An interesting match, but someone has clearly decided to fail in this tournament.
All in all, Team Heretics showed a terrible game in the first round, managing to lose to FUT Esports. In turn, the French-Belgian squad handled BBL Esports, although I didn't expect such a bounce from these guys.
So here I would look out for the victory of the team Karmine Corp, as the game "Heretics" personally I continue to be disappointed with its lack of action.

Team Heretics vs Karmine Corp preview
Team Heretics is having trouble finding their game so far, and it's getting worse and worse every time they play. In turn, the French-Belgian side seem to have played cool in the regular season, but you still have to make allowances for the opponent's level.
And yet Team Heretics still make a terrible impression, because you can't go far with such results. So in this case I would recommend to bet on Karmine Corp. to win.
