Forutsigelse av kamp: FURIA - Evil Geniuses | CS2 (CS:GO)

FURIA and Evil Geniuses will meet in the second round of IEM Road to Rio 2022 American RMR. An intriguing duel, since both teams are in good shape and are clearly aiming for the Major.

However, just a week and a half ago, the teams played each other at ESL Pro League Season 16, and then the Brazilians got a clean sheet victory.

Here, albeit in BO1, I will give preference to FURIA, which, in my opinion, will not make mistakes at this level. Still, don't think that Evil Geniuses will leave the server without a fight.

FORM FURIA

The seventh team in the world ranking last week played in the ESL Pro League Season 16, where they started with a good performance in the group. There, the Brazilians lost only to Cloud9, but at the same time they got four confident victories.

However, in the first round of the playoffs, FURIA could not cope with the Outsiders, having simply failed to put pressure on the opponent after winning the first map. And yet the team still inspires fear and terror in its region.

We saw confirmation of these words at the start of IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, because here FURIA defeated Infinity without a chance. And if the team continues in the same spirit, then no one will be surprised.

Latest FURIA results:

• The victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Infinity with a score of 16:2.

The best FURIA cards:

• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 60% win rate.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

Let's not forget that the Brazilian team has been refusing the Dust 2 map for a long time.

Evil Geniuses Form

The 22nd team of the world ranking recently visited the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16. Honestly, after two starting rounds, I was ready to bury the North American team.

However, then Evil Geniuses gave out three tough fights, from which they took away six points. It is clear that the team did not reach the playoffs, so it's not worth talking about. But regression to the mean is a tricky business, and Evil Geniuses hasn't played this bright in a long time.

As for the start at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, here Evil Geniuses outplayed Nouns in the class, there was no doubt about it. Now I would like to see the team against the backdrop of a stronger opponent.

Evil Geniuses latest results:

• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Nouns with a score of 16:7.

Best Evil Geniuses cards:

• Overpass - 75% of wins.
• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

In turn, the Evil Geniuses team stopped appearing on the Vertigo map.

Match statistics FURIA — Evil Geniuses

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 16, the victory went to FURIA (2:0).

Prediction for the match FURIA — Evil Geniuses

Personally, it seems to me that FURIA is simply stronger in terms of psychology, because at this level the Brazilians rarely stumble. In turn, the North American team can boast of a good game at a distance of a couple of weeks, but still seems to be weaker than their opponent. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FURIA team.
