Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - FURIA Esports | VALORANT
VCT 2023: Americas LeagueEvil Geniuses and FURIA will meet in the fourth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season. So far, the North American squad has been failing, not showing half of their potential.
FURIA, on the other hand, have been unusually confident, with the Brazilians now managing to win two games in three. All in all, against their opponents, Evil Geniuses really don't have much to brag about.
Therefore, I'd opt for a FURIA victory, which should be good enough to take on the bottom side of the league.
Evil Geniuses form
The eleventh team of the North American ranking had a mixed performance in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they managed to beat Team Heretics, but then failed to show anything against Talon Esports.
Evil Geniuses also had problems in the Long Stage of the regular season VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League where they suffered two defeats.
Nevertheless, the North American side managed to upset KRÜ Esports in the last round, but only narrowly widened the gap between the play-offs zone and their own quagmire.

However, at the Long Stage of the group stage of VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, the Brazilian squad began to surprise, first of all, with their resounding victories.

Evil Geniuses vs FURIA preview
Still, the North American team is in a terrible state. I don't understand why they have to go through so many drills when they can't even properly train.
FURIA, on the other hand, has no such problems. When, if not now, to close down the underdogs and take three points.
So in this case, I'd recommend betting on FURIA to win.
