Prediction for the match between TSM – Evil Geniuses
We continue to review what is happening on the American stage of LCS Summer 2022. Two weeks of confrontations are behind us, and many more different meetings await us ahead. TSM and Evil Geniuses will be the opening teams for Week 3. It is worth recalling that the tournament is at the stage of group stages, and the format is still bo-1. Let's not delay and move on to the consideration of teams.
Form TSM
The beginning of this year was not at all successful for the TSM team. The team continues to disappoint their fans, just like they did at LCS Spring 2022. During the summer season, they played 5 meetings, most of which ended not in favor of the club. Now TSM are in 7th place in the standings, with a score of 2-3. And this is well deserved, I don’t know how a team with such a good and eminent line-up shows such terrible performances. I was expecting a much more impressive start than it is now. It seemed that the guys from TSM would want to recoup their recent defeat, but as we can see, so far their success leaves much to be desired.
Composition of TSM
- Huni (Top-laner)
- Spica (Jungler)
- Maple (Mid-laner)
- Tactical (Bot-laner)
- Mia (Support)
It's amazing that lineups with players like "Huni" and "Maple" have such poor results. After all, both performers have enough experience, both in the LCS and in many other prestigious championships.
Heroes TSM
Most Picked Champions: Aphelios (6 matches, 16.7% win rate), Jarvan IV (5 matches, 40% win rate) and Jinx (5 matches, 40% win rate).
Most successful champions: Corki (1 match, 100% win), Orianna (1 match, 100% win) and Sett (1 match, 100% win).
TSM latest match results
- Lost to the Golden Guardians with a score of 0-1;
- Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 1-0;
- Victory over Immortals with a score of 1-0;
- Lost to Counter Logic Gaming with a score of 0-1;
- Lost to 100 Thieves 0-1.
TSM are not in the best shape. As part of the summer season, the team clearly does not even reach the average level of play, this is clearly seen above.
Evil Geniuses Form
Here everything is much more stable, the beginning of this year for the Evil Geniuses team turned out to be very successful. The team can boast of the 1st place at the LCS Spring playoffs. This already says a lot, the guys have the opportunity to repeat the previous outcome, since there were no substitutions inside the club. Now Evil Geniuses are in 2nd place in the standings, with a score of 4-1. They share this result with Counter Logic Gaming, their latest rival. Unfortunately, in the last match, “Evil Geniuses” didn't put the squeeze on their opponent, which led them to defeat. The match was incredibly colorful, I advise you not to miss the games of this team, because they show some of the most interesting performances.
Evil Geniuses line-up
- Impact (Top-laner)
- Inspired (Jungler)
- jojopyun (Mid-laner)
- Danny
- Vulcan (Support)
I don’t even know if it’s worth mentioning that the team has such a star as “Impact” in its composition. The player has quite a few achievements in his long career.
Heroes Evil Geniuses
Top picks: Leona (21 matches, 61.9% win rate), Jinx (17 matches, 76.5% win rate) and Nautilus (17 matches, 52.9% win rate).
Most successful champions: Karma (4 matches, 100% win), LeBlanc (4 matches, 100% win) and Trundle (4 matches, 100% win).
Evil Geniuses latest match results
- Lost to Counter Logic Gaming with a score of 0-1;
- Victory over Immortals with a score of 1-0;
- Victory over FlyQuest with a score of 1-0;
- Victory over 100 Thieves with a score of 1-0;
- Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 1-0.
Unlike the opponent, Evil Geniuses have a solid performance, but not perfect. I think the fans don't worry too much about one defeat in the group bo-1.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams held 12 meetings among themselves. In most of them, and to be more precise in 7, the victory went to the TSM team.
Exodus
On the one hand, the team that is doing well this year is Evil Geniuses. On the other hand, the team that repeats the same mistakes is TSM. This confrontation seems to be very unequal, because both squads show completely different results. Here we can confidently say that the winners of this meeting will be Evil Geniuses. Even despite the bo-1 format that we all love so much. Therefore, I do not advise you to guess, and make a completely obvious choice.
Outcome: The Evil Geniuses team will become the winners of this confrontation.
