Prediction for the match between 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses

We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the American LCS 2022 championship. We have almost reached the finals of the region, the participants of which are not fully known to us. For now, we have to analyze the battle between the semi-finalists of the lower bracket of the tournament 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses. This match has its favorite and it is 100 Thieves, of course, this is the opinion of our dear bookmakers, with which this time I fundamentally disagree. Why? We will talk about this and much more, as usual, below.

Form 100 Thieves

Throughout the summer season, the team showed a successful result and there was no doubt that they would reach the playoffs. At the moment, 100 Thieves kept in the upper bracket of the tournament, but the last meeting in the semi-finals sent them down. After a devastating score in the battle with Cloud9, the roster got another chance to play in the semi-finals for the opportunity to reach the final. This time they may well take the victory, especially since the odds for their victory given by the bookmaker is 1.3.

Lineup of 100 Thieves

Among the members of the squad, no one was particularly noted for the playoff stage. As far as their KDA scores go, they range from 2.6 to 4.5, with Closer (jungle) being the lowest and Abbedagge (mid-laner) being the highest.

Evil Geniuses form

During the whole season, Evil Geniuses were one of the main favorites of the summer split. Now their position is quite shaken and they are under threat of relegation. After the defeat in the upper bracket of the tournament, they more or less successfully advanced through the lower one, which led them to the semi-finals of the tournament. Considering the difficulty they have had in recent victories, it's hard to say that EG can claim any success. However, it is worth remembering how the confrontation between these teams ended at the last LCS Spring 2022 finals, EG won a clear victory with a score of 3-0 over the current roster of 100 Thieves. Therefore, we must not forget about such an important fact.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams held 17 meetings with each other. In most of them, and to be more precise in 9 matches, the victory went to the 100 Thieves team.

Exodus

Both squads showed quite similar results in the standings, but the playoff stage put everything in its place. Team 100 Thieves defeated Cloud9 exactly like Evil Geniuses. The playoff stage is quite difficult for them, because there are big doubts that they will be able to complete it with a more successful result. On the other hand, EG, who have come a long, albeit difficult, path to the opportunity to play in the finals, something tells me that they will be able to overcome the current hurdle of 100 and get to the season finals.

Outcome: The Evil Geniuses team will become the winners of the semi-final battle.
