Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - Cloud9 | LoL
LCS Summer 2022Prediction for the match between Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the American LCS 2022 championship. Soon, our screens will host a confrontation between Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses. The battle is not without interest, but still has its favorite. During the group stage, the teams had to fight with each other and the “evil geniuses” won two easy victories for themselves. This is the case where the format of the battle doesn't really matter, so it's worth keeping that in mind.
Evil Geniuses Form
The current squad played well and it paid off, they just needed more time to improve their performance. This year, the Evil Geniuses team is in great shape and it shows up well in their results. The group stage was a breeze and secured EG's run into the second round of the playoffs. Their last match was just the battle against Cloud9, where they won a simple victory. It hasn't been that long since their competition, so I don't think EG lost their form.

Form Cloud9
Cloud9 is losing ground this season. The result of the group stage leaves much to be desired, the changes in the composition clearly affect. However, in the playoff stage, they performed well against Counter Logic Gaming, which adds a few points to them in the upcoming competition. Still, C9 is not in the shape to oppose anything to EG. I don't think that they have any chance of winning, maybe they will be able to pick up at least one card, but nothing more.

Exodus
The next meeting of the playoff stage has its clear favorite and this is Evil Geniuses. The team showed excellent group results and I don't think it will stop there. Their opponents are not in the best shape now, therefore they will not be able to resist at a sufficient level. I do not advise you to put false hopes on Cloud9.
Outcome: The Evil Geniuses team will become the winners of this confrontation.
