Matchförutsägelse: fnatic - Evil Geniuses | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2023 Play-Infnatic and Evil Geniuses will meet in the first round of the Play-In stage at IEM Katowice 2023. I don't know what to say. Some haven't played for more than two months, and it's not at all clear what's going on with KRIMZ's health. The latter just recently played at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 and even closed Heroic, but then blurred the overall impression with a shameful defeat from Complexity.
In general, in Katowice you will have to look at the participants from a different angle, because there is nothing to start from. In this situation, fnatic should close the meeting in their favor, otherwise the team looks much stronger on paper.
As for the North American team, Evil Geniuses said everything with their last match. It's better not to hope for the best, because in passing matches the guys create problems for themselves out of the blue. Therefore, here we will do without sensationalism.
fnatic form
The eleventh team in the world ranking surprised everyone back at IEM Rio Major 2022, where they not only made it to the “legends”, but also managed to get into the playoffs.
It is clear that there the European team fell off the Outsiders without a chance in the quarterfinals, but no one expected such agility from fnatic, including me.
Well, at the end of their season, the team became the winner of Elisa Masters Espoo 2022, having suffered only one defeat in the group stage. It's funny that the guys lost to Complexity, but that was an isolated case.
In general, it will be interesting to watch fnatic, although you should definitely not expect any breakthrough from the team.

- Overpass - 83% of wins.
- Inferno - 75% of wins.

Probably, the European team will not even try to play on the Anubis map.
Evil Geniuses form
The 21st team in the world ranking showed nothing at the end of last season, having played terribly at the passing ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 7 North America.
Already in January, the North American team came to BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they started doing incredible things and even beat Heroic.
However, the fairy tale ended quickly, because after that Evil Geniuses lost to Vitality and the same Danes from Heroic, leaving the group. Well, the final chord was the defeat from Complexity, after which there is nothing to talk about.
Evil Geniuses latest results:
- Technical defeat by Nouns Esports.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:1.

Prediction for fnatic vs Evil Geniuses match
I see no reason to talk about the chances of the North Americans, who completely killed good thoughts with their last game. In turn, there is nothing to blame fnatic for, since they did not play corny.
It remains to be judged by statistics and past memories, and they clearly tip the scales in favor of the Europeans. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the fnatic team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
