Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Evil Geniuses | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMRLiquid and Evil Geniuses will compete for the right to qualify for PGL Major Antwerp 2022. The match is interesting and, in theory, fundamental. But I still don’t expect anything special from Evil Geniuses, because in terms of their potential and skill, the “liquid” ones are far ahead of their future counterparts.

The 14th team in the world ranking managed to lose in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR. It can be seen that the team noticeably flared up, since then they got two devastating victories, as it seems, forgetting about embarrassment. Well, now Liquid has every chance to resolve all issues in advance, and the opponent is the most suitable for the next extravaganza. Well, indeed, after 16:3 and 16:1 it is hard to expect anything else.
