Evil Geniuses and LDLC will meet in the first round of the CCT West Europe Series 3 play-offs. Will we see another defeat for the North American squad?
To be honest, it already hurts for the guys, who are all trying to get out of the hole and even fly to Europe for a training session in vain. But what's the point if time after time Evil Geniuses loses to TIER-3 level representatives?
And here it doesn't even make sense to talk about the French, who, understandably, aren't that strong. However, here I would rely on the LDLC team to win, because everyone gets a huge chance against the North Americans.
Evil Geniuses form
The 50th ranked team in the world showed nothing in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where after defeating Imperial Esports clearly decided to finish the game.
From there, the North American squad failed in qualifying for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 and several TIER-2 side championships in their region.
But here Evil Geniuses returned to Europe, where they even accepted an invitation to CCT Central Europe Series 6. But what good when the team is losing again, and the only bright spot is the sharpshooter who substituted for wiz.
Evil Geniuses latest results:
- A 1-2 defeat to Paquetá Gaming.
- Defeat to WITHOUT WARNING by a score of 8-16.
- A 16-9 win over Snakes Den.
- 11-16 defeat at the hands of timbermen.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of EYEBALLERS.

LDLC Form
The 68th ranked team in the world managed to get to the quarterfinals of CCT West Europe Series 2 where they were defeated by Spirit Academy.
From there, the French team moved on with mixed success, but it must be said that they won more often than they lost. In general, even with the loss of AMANEK team found the game.
And in such a difficult situation LDLC made it to the play-offs of CCT West Europe Series 3, in spite of two defeats in five games.

Forecast for the match Evil Geniuses - LDLC
It seems to me that whichever way the French team plays will be the winner. The Evil Geniuses are playing too weak and predictable everywhere and there are big question marks over their shooting.
And I don't see any reason to talk about LDLC, because the North American team can lose to anyone, anytime, if only to play and play to win.
So, in this case, I would recommend betting on LDLC to win.
