We continue to "target" what is happening within the framework of ESL One Stockholm 2022. Today, the second day of the group stage starts at the first "real" major.
Having had enough of Dota of different quality yesterday, I chose several matches that would be interesting to watch. One of these is the duel between Evil Geniuses and BOOM.
Yesterday, these teams showed "interesting DotA" in different ways. If this applies to BOOM in the truest sense of the word, then EG has an interesting situation, to put it mildly.
BOOM form
BOOM will be the favorite for this match. The chance of success for this team is estimated at a factor of around 2.5.
The figure is quite justified. Even before the start of the tournament, faith in BOOM was at a fairly high level, and after the first game day, confidence in the strength of the SEA players only grew.
Composition BOOM
- Jackky
- Yopaj
- fbz
- TIMS
- Skem
The working staff, supported by an experienced trainer, shows its capacity both within the region and in the international arena.

- Draw with OG 1-1
BOOM played their first matches against worthy teams. In both cases, the team could bring the game to a clear victory, but it was more than enough to present such results.

Top performing BOOM heroes in 7.31: Weaver (7 matches, 100% win rate), Templar Assassin (4 matches, 100% win rate), Sand King (4 matches, 100% win rate).
Evil Geniuses form
Evil Geniuses will play catch-up in this match. The chance of this team to win is estimated by the odds around 4.3.
Before the start of the tournament, EG came up as a dark horse: the team played exclusively in its region, where it was successful. With the arrival in Stockholm, EG opened up to the fullest.
Lineup EG
- Arteezy
- Abed
- nightfall
- Cr1t-
- JerAx
The opening had to be put out of brackets, since I had not seen such a performance from EG for a long time. Even the toothless performance at The International 10 was not like the extravaganza of formlessness that EG arranged.
EG latest match results
- 2-0 victory over Team DogChamp
- 1-0 victory over Quincy Crew
- 1-0 victory over TSM
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- Lost to T1 0-2
The first matches of ESL One Stockholm turned out to be a living hell for EG. It’s like the players didn’t wake up (Nigtfall in the second game against Tundra), and peaking Storm Spirit and Terrorblade to the first stage is generally a separate art form that remained misunderstood.
Heroes EG
Most Picked Heroes of Evil Geniuses in Patch 7.31: Enchentress (3 matches, 66% win rate), Bane (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (2 matches, 100% win rate).
The most successful Evil Geniuses heroes in patch 7.31 are: Bane (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (2 matches, 100% win rate), Viper (2 matches, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, these teams have not played with each other. The match at ESL One Stockholm 2022 should be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
By all logic, BOOM should take the victory. Yesterday, EG was on maximum tilt, which was especially evident in the second game against T1. I don't see how EG with such a game should defeat BOOM if they come to the match fully armed.
Bottom line: BOOM wins.
