Handicap +1.5 (Evil Geniuses)

Evil Geniuses and Sentinels will meet in the seventh round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League regular season. This is a fight for life, as the loser will almost certainly not qualify for the play-offs.

It's interesting because Sentinels made lineup changes right in the course of the season, but were back to square one a couple of games later. In turn, the Geniuses managed to surprise in the last round, where they got a surprise victory over Leviatán Esports.

In general, Sentinels are probably the favorites in the eyes of the fans, but the team can't really catch on. So here I would lean on the card from the Evil Geniuses team.

The fifteenth team in the North American rankings failed at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League with several defeats.

However, it should be noted that Evil Geniuses has started to gain momentum in recent weeks with victories over KRÜ Esports and Leviatán Esports.

Moreover, the North American team showed some signs of life and even fought the clear leaders of the tournament. All in all, Evil Geniuses leaves hopes, but the team is clearly not up to the task of winning.

Form Sentinels

The 20th ranked team in the North American standings had a terrible showing at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, where they started the pranks after beating 100 Thieves.

It all turned out to be fraught with problems within the squad and constant role changes. The Sentinels ended up losing a bunch of matches, deciding to bounce back and remove their head coach.

As a result, the North American squad even outplayed MIBR, but in the last round again showed a terrible game and without a chance Ledgeil Cloud9, finding themselves in an unenviable position.

Latest Sentinels results:

A 0-2 defeat to NRG.
1-2 defeat to Leviatán Esports.

Top scores for the Sentinels:

Pearl - 75% wins.

Evil Geniuses - Sentinels match prediction

I don't know what needs to happen inside the Sentinels for the system to work and for the team itself to get into the play-offs. But so far it looks as if no one is even trying for results.

On the other hand, Evil Geniuses certainly can't be blamed for their poor showing, because the boys certainly work hard and sometimes play well. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on the Forum on the cards (+1.5) for the Evil Geniuses team.
