Prediction for the match between Evil Geniuses and Cloud9
The 2022 LCS Summer Season is the second split of Year 10 of the League of Legends Pro League in North America. Ten teams compete in the group stage in a round robin format, in a bo-1 format, for a possible advance to the playoffs.
The first game of the tournament promises to be interesting, as equal teams will face each other: Evil Geniuses vs Cloud9. Let's not delay and move on to the consideration of commands.
Evil Geniuses form
For the Evil Geniuses team, the beginning of 2022 turned out to be quite successful. The performance at LCS Spring 2022 was not easy, the club got out of the group stage with a score of 9-9. After that, in the playoffs, the team faced Team Liquid in the first game, against which there was a tough battle, but EG managed to choose a victory with a score of 3-2. Then the team got into the spirit and easily made it to the finals, where they defeated 100 Thieves, which gave the team the opportunity to compete at MSI 2022.
The start of MSI 2022 was also not set, the group stage and rumble stage were difficult for EG, after which they fought with T1 on the “Knockout” stage. From whom EG were defeated with a score of 0-3 and took 4th place at MSI 2022. Despite this, the team performed well this year, albeit with difficulty, they were able to gain significant victories for themselves.

Form Cloud9
The Cloud9 team had quite a few reshuffles this year. This could not but affect the results of the club. If earlier Cloud9 performed consistently in the LCS finals and often won, then the results of 2022 will not please the fans.
The last performance of the team took place at LCS Spring 2022. The group stage of Cloud9 was easy, the club finished it with a score of 13-5. The playoffs, on the other hand, turned out to be difficult. From the winners' bracket, Cloud9 fell into a loser after losing to 100 Thieves. The first game in the lower bracket ended for the club with a victory over the Golden Guardians. In the end, they met against the current opponent EG, who inflicted a crushing defeat on the “clouds” with a score of 3-0.

History of personal confrontations
The teams have previously met 17 times. At the same time, the teams are at an equal score, 8 wins for Cloud9 and 8 for Evil Geniuses.
Exodus
We know and love both teams well, but we must have one winner. Cloud9 this year do not show their best side, their results are not stable. The team started the first LCS Spring 2022 well, whether they will be able to repeat this in the summer season remains a mystery. I think they will try to snatch victory in at least one map, because the last defeat was inflicted on them by EG.
I consider Evil Geniuses to be the favorite of this battle. Although this team did not have a good start in previous tournaments, they showed excellent results closer to the finals.
Outcome: The Evil Geniuses team will win.
