Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - Gambit Esports | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Katowice 2021Evil Geniuses and Gambit will meet at IEM Katowice 2021. A very interesting meeting, given the good shape of the two teams. However, we must not forget that the Russian team had a great start in the championship, having won two meetings with a good start.
Evil Geniuses form
The ninth team of the world ranking was able to surprise at the last BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021, taking second place in its group. It is noteworthy that at the start of the championship the team lost to G2 (0: 2), falling prematurely into the lower bracket. However, the "Evil Geniuses" quickly got together, having managed to beat Vitality (2: 1) and G2 (2: 1). Despite the defeat to Complexity (0: 2) in the final, the team can still win the tournament.
Best Evil Geniuses cards:
- Train - 100% wins.
- Nuke - 57% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
However, things are extremely bad with Vertigo, Overpass and Dust 2, from which any at least strong opponent can count on success.
Gambit Form
The 19th team in the world ranking was far from optimal shape for some time. At first, the team failed at DreamHack Open January 2021 Europe, losing in the semifinals to FunPlus Phoenix (1: 2). After that, the team failed in Snow Sweet Snow 1, losing to the same FunPlus Phoenix (1: 2), but already in the grand final. At the same time, Gambit showed an excellent game with GODSENT (2: 0) and Virtus.pro (2: 1).
As for the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the team did not notice Team One at all (16: 5), and after that they closed mousesports altogether (2: 1), qualifying ahead of time for IEM Katowice 2021.
Best Gambit cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Mirage - 90% wins.
- Train - 89% wins.
- Vertigo - 83% wins.
- Inferno - 69% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
I believe that everyone has known about Nuke for a long time. However, with such a pool of cards, Gambit has every chance to rock the championship.

Forecast for the match Evil Geniuses - Gambit
I don’t believe that Evil Geniuses will be able to adjust for a new opponent. Gambit is exactly the command, which is very difficult to predict in advance. At the same time, Evil Geniuses is very easy to read, so in terms of preparation, the advantage is on the side of the Russian team. If you look at the results, then Gambit wins here too, given the victory over mousesports. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team with the odds of 1.70.
