Прогноз на матч CS2 Evil Geniuses - paiN Gaming

Evil Geniuses and paiN will meet in the group stage cs_summit 8. It is interesting that in some century in North America there were decent teams to play RMR points. Moreover, the composition is so equal that one or two favorites cannot be named offhand.

Evil Geniuses form

The 25th team in the world rankings failed in Europe, and failed to recover. There have also been some changes caused by the weak play of almost the entire team. As a result, "Evil Geniuses" are now playing with MICHU and oBo, although in the renewed lineup they have already failed at the FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final. Another point is that Evil Geniuses has been gathering dust in North America for a month now, actively training with local teams. And I really don't know what the team has in store.

Recent results Evil Geniuses:

• Defeat from Endpoint with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Dignitas with a score of 2: 1.
• Lost to ex-Winstrike with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat to Dignitas with a score of 0: 2.
• Lost to BIG with a score of 0: 2.

Interestingly, Evil Geniuses has no really good cards in store. However, the team used to do well on Nuke and Inferno.

PaiN form

The 34th team in the world ranking also visited Europe, quickly gaining their bumps in DreamHack Masters Spring 2021. Of course, the Brazilians are tired of winning in North America, where the notorious HeadShotKings and Bad News Bears are rivals in the main championships. So paiN passed the closed qualifier without any problems, having won two easy victories with a total difference of 4: 0.

Recent results paiN:

• Victory over PDHM with a score of 3: 0.
• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 6:16.
• Lost to FURIA with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over RBG with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Bad News Bears with a score of 2: 0.

Best paiN cards:

• Dust 2 - 86% wins.
• Inferno - 69% win rate.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 60% wins.
• Train - 57% wins.

In this match, we are unlikely to see Overpass, on which the Brazilians practically do not play (just once in three months). Another point is that the numbers are impressive.

Forecast for the match Evil Geniuses - paiN

A very difficult game from the point of view that the favorite, which is "Evil Geniuses", leaves not the most pleasant impressions. At the same time, we see how the Brazilians endure everyone in a row, showing fast and confident CS. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Total on cards, which is due to several reasons:

• paiN can surprise opponents on Dust 2 and Train.
• The current condition of Evil Geniuses leaves much to be desired - the team has not played for a month.
• In this kind of matches, great importance is attached to motivation, which is clearly greater for the Brazilians.

And do not forget that Evil Geniuses has a lot of experience, which, coupled with poor form, can turn into a hassle.
