On the fresh trail, after the defeat by Nigma in a duel with Vici Gaming, I am sharing a predictive for this match with Evil Geniuses. Nygma understands the current meta very well and they clearly rallied after replays with iG and got into great shape. MinD_ConTroL was indeed right when he said they were roughly in the shape of the 2018 The International sample.
Regarding Evil Geniuses, it feels like they are stealing Nigma's drafts. At the time of writing the forecast: EG lost to PSG.LGD on the first map and drafts in the second one will start soon.
Evil Geniuses is played by: Arteezy, Abed, iceiceice, Cr1t-, Fly
Nigma is supported by: iLTW, Miracle-, MinD_ConTroL, GH, KuroKy

Match prediction: Nigma vs Evil Geniuses in the group stage of Weplay Animajor 2021
In terms of player shape, Nigma has a full roster in great individual shape, Miracle and GH stand out steeply until iLTW is revealed, but that's understandable. The team builds their drafts around Enchantress, Wintern Wyvern, IO, often takes Dragon Knight, which they send to different positions. Evil Geniuses, on the other hand, continue to play approximately the same heroes with which they played in the last Major. I can't believe in EG at all, for such a game Nigma.
Bookmakers give 3.84 odds on Nigma, the draw was estimated at 2.118 and the success of Evil Geniuses was 3.34. I advise you to believe in Nygma, the team is in unrealistic shape and can catch on the upper bracket of the playoffs if it defeats EG.
Prediction: Nigma will outplay Evil Geniuses at Weplay Animajor 2021 - 3.84 odds
