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

Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses will meet in the second round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 group stage. It would seem that we have a North American derby, but now there is no intrigue in it, since there is a definite favorite.

Moreover, Evil Geniuses continues to play in the same style as half a year - a year ago. In this context, nothing changes, because the team remained frankly weak, and continues to remain so.

As for Team Liquid, the "liquid" ones have noticeably improved after the transition of YEKINDAR, which absolutely everyone is talking about. And with Marek, the North American team has good chances to reach the playoffs. Another point is that the day before the team showed not the most confident game, but there is a feeling that the "liquid" ones will gradually reach the peak.

Form Team Liquid

The third team in the world ranking made a big leap at IEM Cologne 2022, where it reached the quarterfinals. Indeed, after the transition of YEKINDAR, the North American team began to play much more diverse and smarter in terms of making short-term decisions.

After the break, Team Liquid managed to take part in BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they suffered only one defeat. And yet, there, "liquid" showed solid CS, playing very cool in the Play-In and getting two dry wins.

As for the start at the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, here the North Americans managed to beat Movistar Riders. Yes, there were moments in the game that raise questions. But in general, Team Liquid looked good, although not as strong as in Copenhagen in August.

At the same time, the North American team is now refusing the Nuke card.

Evil Geniuses Form

The 35th team in the world ranking failed the first half of the season, winning nothing, but at the same time arguing internally. As a result, the organization again made changes in the composition, although, as practice showed, it did not get better.

As a result, the North American team failed at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they suffered three defeats and took the final last place.

Then Evil Geniuses played in the qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 for America, where she took first place. And yet everyone knows about the competition, so it is impossible to judge by this victory.

Well, at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, the North Americans expectedly lost to Cloud9, showing nothing against Cloud9.

Evil Geniuses latest results:

• Victory over Limitless with a score of 19:17.
• Victory over TeamOne with a score of 16:13.
• Victory over BHOP with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over ATK with a score of 16:6.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.

Best Evil Geniuses cards:

• Inferno - 40% of wins.

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

Team Liquid vs Evil Geniuses Statistics

As part of the current season, the teams held three meetings:

• The victory of Team Liquid within BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022 with a score of 19:17.
• Team Liquid won the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR with a score of 2:0.
• The victory of Team Liquid in the closed qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2022 with a score of 2:1.

However, then the teams played in slightly different lineups.

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — Evil Geniuses

I absolutely do not believe in the possibility of intrigue in this confrontation, since Evil Geniuses plays too straightforwardly. Well, nothing works out for the team in any composition, and the problem, as it seems, is far from the players, but the management, which simply does not cope with its work.

In turn, "liquid" now seem to be two heads stronger. And even yesterday's meeting with Movistar Riders, where the North Americans lost on Inferno, should not confuse the cards.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of Team Liquid with a score of 2:0.
