Prediction for the match between Evil Geniuses – Team Liquid
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the American LCS 2022 championship. We are waiting for an intriguing confrontation between the favorites of the region Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid. The teams will have to meet in the lower bracket of the tournament, they will fight for the right to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. Both rosters entered the top 3 among the teams participating in the group stage, which tells us about good performance. It is worth recalling that they had to confront each other in two matches. It is difficult to say which of the clubs turned out to be stronger, since both teams won one victory for themselves, while having a devastating score.
Evil Geniuses form
Despite all the merits over the past season, as a result, the team ended up in the lower bracket of the tournament. If the first meeting in it was easy, then the last confrontation could be the last for the Evil Geniuses team. However, if we do not take into account the final score of the match with TSM, it is safe to say that EG had total dominance, in almost every map of the battle. Now they are facing an opponent with whom they have enough swing meetings this year, therefore it is difficult to give preference to one.
Evil Geniuses line-up
The performer of the jungle position Inspired managed to distinguish himself by the second rank among the MVPs of the players of the tournament. On average, the KDA of club members varies from 2.8 to 4.9, where Inspired has the highest KDA of 4.9.
Heroes Evil Geniuses
Among the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Aatrox/Sejuani/Lissandra/Seraphine/Tahm Kench. In his last meeting, Aatrox was picked in four out of five maps, while he has a fairly good win rate and KDA.

Form Team Liquid
The start of the playoffs turned out to be quite difficult for Team Liquid. But if you look at the statistics of their last matches, you can confidently say about the rehabilitation of the team. TL have taken some ridiculous losses, which has left them in a situation where they are in danger of being knocked out of the tournament. They are clearly not considered the favorites of this battle, as their opponent is considered a rather formidable opponent.
Team Liquid roster
During the playoffs, only one player managed to somehow stand out from the other members of the club and that is Bwipo. The top-lane performer made it to the table of the best players of the week. Unfortunately, this is all that the Team Liquid roster can please us with.
Heroes Team Liquid
Among the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Sett/Trundle/Azir/Sivir/Nautilus. More than once, we have seen the picks of these characters in the playoffs. All of the above champions have a win rate of over 50% and excellent KDA.

- Lost to 100 Thieves 2-3;
- 3-1 victory over FlyQuest;

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams held 18 meetings with each other. In most of them, and to be more precise in 10 matches, the victory went to Team Liquid.
Exodus
I don't think that Team Liquid has a chance to win against EG. These rosters have clashed multiple times this year and EG almost always came out victorious. This season, they have already faced each other, but it is difficult to judge them, since these were meetings in the same goal of the bo-1 format. Still, I will give my preference to Evil Geniuses, last season of the LCS, they closed Team Liquid with a clean sheet, with a score of 3-0. I think now they are able to repeat the same result, there were practically no prerequisites for doubting this.
Outcome: The Evil Geniuses team will be the winners of the upcoming battle.
