Evil Geniuses.PA are eliminated from Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022
The first day of the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022 has come to an end. The new line-up of Evil Geniuses (Party Astronauts) failed to win a single match and they are eliminated from the championship. There are three teams left in the group that will fight for the playoffs, of which only two will get the opportunity to move forward in the tournament. Let's analyze the results of the teams of the first game day at the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022 Group B.
Astralis vs Evil Geniuses.PA
The teams chose Overpass as their map in the bo1 confrontation. EG.PA started in the attack and looked very bad, there was no talk of any tight fight. The first half leaves Astralis 13:2. In the second half, EG.PA managed to win the pistol round, even managed to make a 4-round streak, but after that they lacked tenacity in defense. Astralis win the first meeting of the tournament.
Imperial vs Finest
As a result of the bans of the teams, they had to fight on the Dust2 map. A similar scenario with the last confrontation and almost the same score in the first half. Imperial easily take the first half with a score of 12:3, even taking into account the first two rounds won for the Swedes. Going over to the attacking side, the Brazilians, led by FalleN, win the pistol round, but lose the second one. They managed to win only in point rounds, there was no talk of any streak, since there were a lot of rounds to implement after the first half. 16:12 in favor of the Brazilians from Imperial.
Evil Geniuses.PA vs Finest
The last series for today was in bo3 format. Having not seen any confident play by the North Americans on the first map, we also failed to see an interesting confrontation against the outsider of the tournament on the second one. In all the matches of EG.PA, it is clear that they have no chance to compete with European teams even at tier-2 levels. They had problems with shooting against opponents, as well as the scarcity of their tactics and decisions made itself felt. As a result, the departure from the tournament on the first day. The first map Dust2 against Finest ended 9:16 for them, and the second map Inferno 8:16.
