Market-implied, not a Sportslyx pick. Two-way de-vig of the series moneyline; the pair sums to 100%.
Market-implied: FunPlus Phoenix 70%. The series moneyline pair (KeepBest Gaming +210 / FunPlus Phoenix -285) is de-vigged two-way into a fair probability for each side. This is the market’s number — the same anchor the Sportslyx board uses where a book prices the series — and it is not a Sportslyx pick. The members-only breakdown is written separately from these inputs and graded on its own.
A map handicap and a total-maps line, where the book posts them, are shown in the facts above as context; the percentage is derived from the moneyline only. Lines move up to the start, so this is a snapshot from the last refresh rather than a closing price.
Format
Series Format & Map Pool
KeepBest Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix is a best-of-five: the first team to 3 maps wins. The format comes from the schedule feed and sets the grading rule.
A VALORANT series is played across maps from the current competitive pool, chosen in a pick-and-ban veto shortly before the start; each map is a race to thirteen rounds with overtime if it is tied. Best-of-three is the standard, and playoff finals go to best-of-five. Map strength varies sharply between teams, which is why the veto matters for the price — Sportslyx reads the format, the results feed and each team’s per-map win rates where the feed carries them, not the veto itself, so the map order is not shown here and the per-map data stays inside the members-only breakdown.
VCT matches are best-of-three; playoff finals are best-of-five.
Grading in this format. In a best-of-five a series lost 2–3 is graded as a push, not a loss. Losing 0–3 or 1–3 is a loss.
Form
Recent Form
What form means in Valorant and where it is read. This public page shows the schedule feed only; recent results are not rendered here.
Form in VALORANT is form by map, and that is the part the public page does not show: a team can be on a winning run overall and weak on the two maps it is likely to play. The members-only breakdown reads the recent series results, the map scores, per-map win rates and six-month player ratings where the feed carries them, the tournament context and the roster from the results feed and writes about where the run came from; this page shows the schedule feed only.
The Valorant hub explains how the breakdown weighs form against the line, and the Valorant results list keeps recent map scores for the whole slate.
History
Head-to-Head
Previous meetings are not listed on the public page. What head-to-head means in Valorant and how the members-only breakdown reads it.
Head-to-head in VALORANT is read map by map — which maps each side picked when they last met and who won them — because the same two teams can be lopsided on one map and even on another. The members-only breakdown weighs previous meetings from the results feed; this page lists no previous meetings.
The Valorant predictions page shows the graded Valorant record by month; the Valorant matches index lists the rest of the slate.

AI Series Analysis
What the Sportslyx breakdown for KeepBest Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix covers — and why none of it is printed here.
The members-only breakdown is written by a language model from the series data and the market line at the time it is generated. For Valorant it weighs schedule, live scores and results, rosters and team crests, tournament and best-of format, recent series form and bookmaker lines where covered, and it states which side the numbers favour; a board read on the series is later graded from the final map score. Where the book prices the series, the line is the anchor; where it does not, the product works from a calibrated model estimate marked “est.” that stays inside the members’ area. The breakdown text is not rewritten when the line moves, and the percentage shown anywhere on Sportslyx is market-derived, not a model score.
A series read that loses by exactly one map — 1–2 in a best-of-three, 2–3 in a best-of-five — is graded as a push, not a loss. The rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read.
Nothing from that breakdown appears on this public page: not the side, not the estimate, not the text. What you can check without an account is how past reads performed — the Valorant predictions page publishes hit rate and ROI at a flat stake by month, labelled “partly est. prices”, and the Methodology page explains how a read is selected and graded.
What the Valorant breakdown weighs
- Schedule, live scores and results
- Rosters and team crests
- Tournament and best-of format
- Recent series form
- Bookmaker lines where covered
Markets read where the book covers the series: series moneyline, map handicap (±1.5) and total maps (over/under). Where the results feed carries them, the members-only breakdown also reads each team’s per-map win rates and six-month player ratings; the map veto and the draft are not ingested. None of the player-level or per-map data is shown on this public page.
Grading
Prediction Tracking
How a read on KeepBest Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix is settled and where the result is published.
A read on KeepBest Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix is graded from the final map score published by the results feed. In a best-of-five a series lost 2–3 is graded as a push, not a loss. Losing 0–3 or 1–3 is a loss. Hit rate is wins divided by wins plus losses with pushes excluded, and ROI is measured at a flat stake per read and labelled “partly est. prices”, because some Valorant series carry a model estimate rather than a book line. Every settled read lands in a calendar-month (UTC) record.
The push rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read: a series the read got one map wrong is returned rather than counted as a loss, which lifts the hit rate relative to a plain win/loss count. Reads are selected on expected value with a price floor, so very short favourites are left off the board even when the market likes them.
The same settlement rules apply to your own tracked picks inside the workspace: add KeepBest Gaming vs FunPlus Phoenix to a watchlist, log a read, and it is graded automatically from the final map score, with your net result shown in money at your own stake. The public record is on the Valorant predictions page, and the full rule set on the Methodology page.
