Match Prediction: mousesports - Evil Geniuses | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2021 Play-InIn the final Play-In match of the stage at IEM Cologne 2021, mousesports will play against EG. The teams will fight to reach the group stage. The winner, obviously, falls into the group, the loser is eliminated from the tournament.
We can expect a very striking duel, because in fact, the two teams in this tournament are approximately on the same level of play. Although, if you look more globally, there is certainly a difference.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from the final match of IEM Cologne 2021, and who will take the last slot in the group stage.
Mousesports form
Let's start analyzing the fight from the form 7 of the world team according to HLTV - mousesports. These guys are the nominal favorites here.
And we can agree with this, because 2021 was not a bad year for mousesports. It is not bad at least because the team managed to win Flashpoint 3. But there were also enough failures: 13-16 at IEM XV, 21-24 at ESL Pro League Season 13, 9-12 at DH Masters Spring 2021.
And at IEM Cologne itself, the "mice" did not look like a team claiming to win. Rather "strong" middle peasants.
Mousesports latest matches
- Defeat MIBR 2-0
- Win over NiP 2-1
- Lost to BIG with a score of 1-2
- Beat Bad News Bears 16-7
- Lose to NiP 0-2
Mousesports maps
The best mouse map in recent years is Inferno. 5 matches - 100% win rate.
The worst is Vertigo. In 10 matches, mousesports won 5 and lost 5.
Also 50% win rate is observed on Ancient.
Although mousesports look "mediocre" at this tournament, their opponents look even more "lost". So far, American CS is not happy.
Form EG
The 7th team in the world will be opposed by Evil Geniuses, located on the 21st line of HLTV. Those same EGs, who showed an excellent game a year ago, and now are losing to not the strongest teams in their region.
For 2021, EG's best performance was ranked 3-4 at Snow Sweet Snow # 3. A total of 10 tournaments were played. I think you get the point.
What can we say, even if Vici Gaming causes EG problems, albeit surmountable. Although, in fact, in recent months, EG objectively lose to not the weakest teams
EG Recent Results
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0-2
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0-2

EG Cards
The best EG map in recent memory is Mirage. In 3 games there EG won twice.
The worst card is Nuke. For 4 matches, 0 wins.
EG's problems are a very small piece of work right now. Practice is definitely not enough.
Personal meeting history
Over the last 5 matches (which, by the way, were played already in 2019), mousesports have won all 5 games.
The outcome of the fight
In this fight, I really want to see a full-fledged bo3. I think the teams are able to show us this, because some, that others are not in the most preferred form.
And yet, and still. I believe in mousesports.
Result: total + 2.5/mousesports win.
The last matches of the Play-in stage and we will find out the entire list of participants in IEM Cologne 2021. The hottest confrontation in which no one is satisfied with a defeat. Two large organizations that want their teams to compete for a large prize pool.
Mousesports did not come up to this tournament in the best shape. They had 2 matches in this tournament. In the first, they, as they should have, without a problem beat Bad News Bears, who had already left the tournament, but in the second they had to play against NiP, where the charged Dev1ce did not let them into the main stage.
EG lost to Fays, who came to this LAN well prepared. That match was in bo1 format and it is not clear what would have happened if the format was bo3. Michu is showing good performance at this tournament, which is expected of him.
Today EG have already played Vici Gaming and beat them 2-0 without any problems 16-5, 16-7. Before the match with the Mause, they will have to wait 1 series of bo3.
Outcome
Two good teams play on LAN, EG has more experienced players who have already been in similar situations and the stress factor should act on them less. Mousesports are singled out as the favorite, but EG will show a fight, otherwise it will be a failure and a possible reshuffle for the team.
