BIG and Evil Geniuses will meet in the first round of ESL Pro League Season 14. Both teams welcomed newcomers. But if BIG made point substitutions, then "Evil Geniuses" became hostages of a controversial situation. Therefore, here the North American team will look like an outsider, given the eternal problems with adaptation in Europe.
BIG shape
The eleventh team in the world rankings failed at home IEM Cologne 2021, failing to make the playoffs of the championship. As a result, the team finally freed XANTARES, who, according to rumors, had dreamed of leaving the organization since December last year. As a result, BIG found a gade with which it will try to return at least to the top ten of the rating. The replacement itself raises concerns, since the Dane can be considered a downed pilot for a long time.
Recent BIG results:
- Victory over OG with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
Best BIG cards:
- Vertigo - 77% wins.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Dust 2 - 71% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
The team clearly did not work with the Ancient card, which forced them to return to Inferno. Well, the terrible numbers on Mirage should not be confusing, since the Germans have been playing great on the map for several seasons.
Evil Geniuses form
The clowning in the 23rd world ranked team continues. Not only do North Americans pick everyone up, they also bring back the guys from VALORANT. This path was followed by daps, who became the coach of the team. But it didn't work out here either, because stanislaw decided to skip the championship, forcing the coach to remember his youth. With such problems, Evil Geniuses will begin their journey in the tournament, which should end quickly, taking into account the dynamics and rotation.
Recent results Evil Geniuses:
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat to NiP with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 12:16.
- Victory over ViCi Gaming with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 2: 0.
Best Evil Geniuses cards:
Interestingly, the team has not yet shown itself on Ancient. However, at the same time, the team plays horribly on all the remaining maps, with the exception of Overpass.
Meetings statistics BIG - Evil Geniuses
During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final, the victory went to BIG (2: 0).
Forecast for the match BIG - Evil Geniuses
Two troubled teams with the same chance of failure. However, EG's situation is much more complicated, which gives an advantage in favor of the German team. And BIG's selection is larger and more fun, while Evil Geniuses can only play strong on one or two maps. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the BIG team.
