Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2021 Play-InEvil Geniuses and FaZe Clan will meet as part of the starting BO1 at IEM Cologne 2021 Play-In. I believe we are facing the most equal pair of all that are present at the start of the tournament. At the same time, both teams are not famous for good results, which only adds intrigue.
Evil Geniuses form
The 20th team in the world ranking has been in Europe for a month, having performed at two championships. However, after reaching the IEM Summer 2021 playoffs, the team quickly failed in the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2021, losing two meetings with a score of 0: 2. In this connection, I propose to go through the news. Firstly, daps, who has been gathering dust in VALORANT for the last six months, became the coach of Evil Geniuses. Secondly, oBo is 18 years old.
Recent results Evil Geniuses:
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost to OG with a score of 1: 2.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat to NiP with a score of 0: 2.
I would like to note that the team is playing very cheerfully on Inferno, Mirage and Nuke. However, it should be said that it is almost impossible to decide on a map in advance.
FaZe Clan Form
The 35th team in the world rankings again returned olofmeister, with whom they failed at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2021. However, after that, the team performed at Gamers Without Borders 2021, where, unfortunately, they did not even leave the group. And there is a feeling that these guys are always lacking in confidence, since the constant 1: 2 is already pretty tired.
Recent results FaZe Clan:
- Defeat from NAVI with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat from BIG with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Dignitas with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat against FURIA with a score of 1: 2.
Best FaZe Clan cards:
- Mirage - 71% wins.
Another thing is that the team is still abandoning Vertigo. But, as mentioned above, any map will be a surprise for both teams.
Evil Geniuses - FaZe Clan encounters statistics
The last meeting of the teams is dated IEM Beijing 2019. At that tournament, FaZe Clan beat Evil Geniuses twice.
Forecast for the match Evil Geniuses - FaZe Clan
I think that in this match we need to take the Total in rounds 24.5 more. Both teams are in a functional pit, showing terrible results. And on the moral side, Evil Geniuses and FaZe Clan are going through a hard time. Nevertheless, I am still waiting for Galacticos to really break through, because each time the team is getting closer to victory. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the FaZe Clan team.
The long-awaited IEM begins, which should present a huge number of interesting games, because this is the first LAN in a very long time, although there will be no spectators, but the teams will see each other and we will be able to observe the intensity of passions between them. In the Play-in stage, 8 teams will be determined, which will advance to the main stage of the championship and will be able to compete for a prize fund of almost 1 million dollars.
At this stage of the tournament, there are many weak teams that have very little chance of reaching the main stage.
The most interesting match of the bo1 round, where both teams are tier 1 teams, although in recent years these teams have not shown the game that is expected of them.
EG
The team played mediocre after the replacement, besides, they did not have a coach, and now before this tournament they were joined by daps, who has extensive experience playing on the pro stage, including with NRG. Michu showed good games on some maps and won games for his team. For such a large organization, there should be a minimum entry to the main stage of the tournament.
Faze
Recently, the team has been plagued by problems and unsatisfactory results, while the matches they lose are usually very tight. They have a Russian-speaking analyst who wrote in his VK public that the team is very motivated even after defeats. The Faises had a bootcamp before the tournament, from which they played their games. Regarding olofmester, he wrote that this player gives a lot to the team in terms of psychology and calls within the game.
Outcome
EG is not the same team that they were a year ago, when they played on equal terms with the top of the stage, every match against strong opponents is a real test. From the side of the faces, the work done was visible, it was just that in the last matches there was not enough to win. In this confrontation, I will give my preference to Faze
