Matchförutsägelse: Evil Geniuses - Eternal Fire | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Evil Geniuses and Eternal Fire will meet in the first round of the lower bracket of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage. Both teams lost to the favorites the day before. But there is one thing to note here: the North Americans drove away from Cloud9 without any struggle at all, while Eternal Fire was able to compete with G2 on the best map - Nuke.

In general, there is even nothing to comment on here, since Evil Geniuses simply came to serve the number. And it seems to me that the team is in danger of becoming the worst in its group, because even the Mongols are trying to show themselves.

And I even find it funny to watch all the comments that criticize the leadership of the North American organization. It is indeed true, but only partly. The thing is that with such money it makes no sense for some people to play at all, and they show it with all their looks.

If we move away from the lyrics, then there is no intrigue here, since Evil Geniuses proved everything to everyone. So here I would recommend to take a closer look at the logical victory of the Turkish team, which is really not bad.

Evil Geniuses Form

The 24th team in the world ranking managed to fail at IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In and CCT North Europe Series 3, showing such a funny game as you can imagine.

But the North American team decided to go even further, breaking through another bottom. Just last week, Evil Geniuses failed to break through to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 North America RMR, although they had all the opportunities at their disposal.

And at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, the team moved away from Cloud9. Moreover, the "Evil Geniuses" did not even try - just no desire to fight.

Evil Geniuses latest results:

• Victory over Vendetta with a score of 16:8.
• Lost to MIBR with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Mythic with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by TeamOne with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.

Best Evil Geniuses cards:

• Inferno - 50% win rate.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

It is worth recalling that the North American team still does not play on the Vertigo map.

Eternal Fire Form

The 20th team of the world ranking qualified for the European RMR tournament without any problems. Yes, there the team had a defeat from 9INE, but even that was in overtime and in an equal fight.

At the same time, Eternal Fire became the winner of CCT Central Europe Series Finals 1, although the team was clearly not the best in terms of play. Still, important victories over forZe, ENCE and Bad News Eagles did their job.

As for the start in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here the Turkish team, as expected, failed to cope with G2, but at least managed to show their teeth on the Nuke map and almost made it to overtime.

Latest Eternal Fire results:

• Victory over Into the Breach with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 1:2.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
• 2-1 victory over the Bad News Eagles.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.

Best Eternal Fire maps:

• Inferno - 75% of wins.
• Nuke - 73% of wins.
• Overpass - 62% of wins.
• Anubis - 58% of wins.
• Vertigo - 57% of wins.

Let's not forget that the Turkish team is still refusing the Ancient map.

Statistics of meetings Evil Geniuses — Eternal Fire

As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 16, the victory went to Evil Geniuses (2:0).

Prediction for the match Evil Geniuses — Eternal Fire

I think that there is no point in commenting on anything here, because on the eve of their game, the North American team signed for complete helplessness.

In turn, the Turkish team is in better shape than ever. And if the guys have time to fight G2, then they will definitely cope with Evil Geniuses. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Eternal Fire team.
