The group stage of the first real major is still on our screens. We are still watching the confrontations in the "group of death".
Next in line was the match between Evil Geniuses and BetBoom Team. Quite a fervent match can turn out, given the current tournament situation.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from this match, and who, according to its results, will be stronger, if there is such a team.
E.G form
The favorite of this match of the bookmaker is the Evil Geniuses team. The success of the "evil geniuses" is estimated by a coefficient in the region of 2.8-3.
Quite a bold assessment, given the current state of affairs at EG. Looking ahead, it is worth noting that the affairs of the "evil geniuses" are still not going well.

So far, the stellar roster of Evil Geniuses is still far from optimal conditions under which EG will be able to impose a fight and win.

Behind EG are matches against, perhaps, the main contenders in the tournament. Despite, frankly speaking, a disgusting game in the first two series, against BOOM EG began to wake up, and perhaps the awakening took place completely and BuLba will no longer beep anything.

Form BetBoom
BB Team will act as catch-ups in this match. The chance of their victory is estimated by a coefficient of 3.8-4.
Although the Eastern European team has a much better situation in terms of tournaments, calling them a team better than EG will not work. They have every chance to become such, but for this you need to earn credibility, which BetBoom does not yet have at the international tournament.

It's worth giving credit to BB: the team copes in new conditions for itself with three newcomers in the international arena.

All games at the BB ended in a draw, which is more of a plus than a minus. From this there is room to grow.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in official matches. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
In this confrontation, I expect another draw. EG yesterday had a chance to "swing", but the defeat on the second map with BOOM can shake the already unstable "evil geniuses". The most save result, of course, will be +0.5 on EG, but in our case, I'd rather choose a similar handicap on BB.
Result: +0.5 on BB Team.
