We continue to study what is happening at ESL One Stockholm 2022. Group A on our screens and the match between EG and OG.
Before the start of the tournament, such a match could be called a rehearsal for the grand final. After two game days, it became clear that the teams are far from champion standards.
Both teams are experiencing difficulties at the start of the championship, but both clubs can still gain momentum.
Form OG
OG will be the favorite in this match. The bookmakers estimate their chance of success with odds in the region of 3.1.
This is a very average figure for a bo2 series, which indicates that bookmakers are not ready to call OG a clear favorite. There is nothing surprising in such a balance of power, because OG play with a substitute, and whatever one may say, it affects the level of the game.
Roster OG
Speaking of replacement, and specifically about Ceb, the problem is not only in it. Yesterday, the main stars in the face of bzm and ATF were completely absent from the matches.
Heroes OG
Most Picked Heroes: Troll Warlord (4 matches, 50% win rate), Shadow Shaman (4 matches, 25% win rate), Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate).
The most successful OG heroes in patch 7.31: Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate), Keeper of the Light (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (1 match, 100% win rate).
E.G form
EG will play as an outsider in this match. The odds for winning "floats" around 3.8.
Again, this figure does not indicate a total lag. Although by their game, we can say that the team is in the most decadent state.
Lineup EG
- Arteezy
- Abed
- nightfall
- Cr1t-
- JerAx
We left Arteezy aside as much as we could, but in this major the player performs worse than before. Arthur is tired and it seems it's time to rest.
EG latest match results
- 1-0 victory over Quincy Crew
- 1-0 victory over TSM
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- Lost to T1 0-2
- Draw with BOOM 1-1
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.
Heroes EG
Most Picked Heroes of Evil Geniuses in Patch 7.31: Enchentress (3 matches, 66% win rate), Bane (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (2 matches, 100% win rate).
The most successful Evil Geniuses heroes in patch 7.31 are: Bane (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (2 matches, 100% win rate), Viper (2 matches, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
The clubs have not previously played each other this season. The match within the group stage of ESL One Stockholm 2022 will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Exodus
In this match, I definitely do not believe in the victory of EG. I can hardly imagine how the current "evil geniuses" can dictate their terms. Taking risks in bo2 is not a noble thing, and therefore I will put +0.5 on OG and advise you to do the same in live.
Result: +0.5 OG.
