Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - T1 | Dota 2
ESL One Stockholm 2022 MajorWe continue to get acquainted with the participants of ESL One Stockholm 2022. Next in line is a couple of T1 and Evil Geniuses.
If the parallel match between BB and Beastcoast can hardly be called the central one, then this game quite aspires to such a status. Evil Geniuses and T1 are playing, and we are trying to figure out if there is a winner in this fight who will be able to earn important points for the group stage.
Evil Geniuses form
Evil Geniuses will be the favorite in this match. The team's chance of winning is estimated by a coefficient of 2.3.
The reigning North American champions once had the status of one of the most stable teams in the international arena. 2022 and this particular major are capable of returning EG to the winners' podium.
Evil Geniuses line-up

- Abed

- Cr1t-
- JerAx
EG players have spent too much time in North America, and therefore they will be happy to play on the international stage with worthy counterparts.
The result of the last matches of Evil Geniuses
- 2-0 victory over Quincy Crew
- Lost to EG 0-2
- 2-0 victory over Team DogChamp
- 1-0 victory over Quincy Crew
- 1-0 victory over TSM
Here you will need to further build on the performance in the first round. There, EG has a strong opponent in the person of Tundra, and therefore the outcome can be “different”, as always, by the way.
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).
Form T1
T1 will act as catch-ups in this match. T1's chances of winning are estimated by a factor of 5.3.
The difference is almost two times in favor of EG, which is logical in principle. At the time of TI10, such an assessment would have been stupid, but since then T1 has been greatly “succumbed”.
Composition T1
- Gabby
- Karl
- Kuku
- Xepher
- whitemon
After 23savage left the club, Gabbi moved in to replace him, which, among other things, played into the hands of T1. Team performance has improved.
T1 latest match results

- 2-0 victory over OB Esports x Neon

- Lost to Fnatic 1-2
- 2-0 victory over Polaris Esports
Now T1 is not even talking about unconditional leadership within its region, and therefore they need large-scale successes.

History of personal confrontations
In these compositions, the teams did not play with each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the two teams.
Match outcome
In this case, there is a strong feeling that EG will win. In Bo2, betting on a clean win is always a risk, but in this match, I will believe in EG.
Bottom line: EG wins.
Prediction for the match between Evil Geniuses and T1 in group "A" at ESL One Stockholm Major 2022. EG will have a game with Tundra Esports that they are unlikely to win, but T1 will watch and rest during this series.

For me personally, T1 in this match, although they will be outsiders, they will easily squeeze out 1 card. The competition in Southeast Asia is definitely higher than in North America. Plus, another point is that T1 will definitely watch the series of EG against Tundra and will notice useful moments for themselves.

Prediction: T1 won't lose to Evil Geniuses - odds 1.71
T1 does not have such a strong region as it seems at first glance, there really are no strong teams there, but the shape needs to be maintained somewhere. Previously, these guys shone as best they could, reached very far at the Major in Kyiv and at The International, showed all their best qualities and developed every day. Later they had a line-up change, they changed the player in the first position and their game became much worse, they began to act less confidently and started to lose. All this time they were famous for their stability, they were not afraid of any team in the world, they could play on equal terms with the Chinese giants and win in peace, but now things are not so good. In any case, they will most likely be able to compete in this match for one map, EG also does not have a strong region, in some ways these teams are similar.
Evil Geniuses are currently playing with Tundra Esports, a pretty good European team that fights in every match. Right now, Evil Geniuses are likely to win one map, but it's very interesting how they will approach the match against T1. I am sure that T1 and Evil Geniuses have a lot of preparations in their arsenal, they know very well how to surprise their opponents, the main thing is not to catch the jitters and finish the match in their favor. From this match, I expect a draw with a score of 1-1, but I recommend you bet live, due to this you can get a very good plus, the main thing is not to forget to use it!
I expect a draw from this match and I will bet live.
