Evil Geniuses enter this match relatively unproven, as they’ve played two games – against one of the league’s bottom squads and Leviatan, winning the former and losing the latter.
EG have, however, looked terrible this entire season, so until they show something memorable at this stage, they will remain a bottom-tier team who would never cause issues to MIBR.
MIBR are 2-1 this stage, with three very promising results. While it is still relatively early, MIBR have been showing good things and appear to be more than ready to defeat the struggling EG.
- MIBR are ramping up
- Evil Geniuses have yet to impress
- This is MIBR’s game to lose

Evil Geniuses Look Rough
Evil Geniuses are 1-1 after two weeks of play, having beaten ENVY and lost to Leviatan. Those results prove very little, as EG bested the league’s weakest team but lost against one of the main title contenders.
While EG’s performances this stage don’t prove much, their results this season do, and it doesn’t look pretty.
EG were the worst team of Stage 1, having ended the split without a single victory. They were hardly more successful in the Kickoff event, with two wins, for a combined three VCT victories since the start of the year.
Until Evil Geniuses show something, they will remain a team who are hard to trust.

MIBR Are Finding Momentum
MIBR started the split with a 1-2 loss against NRG, but they bounced back last week, with two victories against ENVY and FURIA.
The first game against ENVY was a one-sided stomp. And while MIBR needed to dig deeper to make it past FURIA, they earned that victory with 14-12 on Haven and 13-9 on Breeze. Notably, even in their loss to NRG, MIBR did not perform poorly, as they came just two rounds away from sweeping.
One weakness with MIBR is their one-dimensional approach, as they haven’t shown much versatility in their team compositions. On the other side, this allows MIBR to practice the same thing over and over again, and become very efficient at it.
MIBR still have more to show, but so far, they’ve yet to disappoint.

Verdict
Evil Geniuses have been struggling this entire season, failing to produce any memorable results. And while things could change in Stage 2, Evil Geniuses have not really had a chance to prove anything, with a win against ENVY and a bad loss against Leviatan.
MIBR, on the other side, have been ramping up, with a close loss against NRG and two promising victories against ENVY and FURIA. If those results are any indication, MIBR should be more than capable of running over Evil Geniuses.
