Evil Geniuses

Evil Geniuses seem to have started their villain arc with all the banter and trolling they are engaging in on and off the server. The players’ confidence is sky-high right now, and rightfully so. The NA super team has secured a playoff spot with wins over FunPlus Phoenix and FUT Esports, where they barely broke a sweat. However, Boostio and his team will face their biggest challenge yet against EDG, who, like themselves, are red hot right now.

Evil Geniuses vs EDward Gaming

EDward Gaming

The once surprising outcome of EDward Gaming toppling formidable opponents is now a norm. In the recently finished group stage of Champions 2023, EDG have beaten the EMEA LCQ winner, Giants Gaming, twice on their way to qualify for the playoffs. With back-to-back playoff qualifications in international events, the Chinese no.1 seed has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Despite their evident confidence, EG would do well to avoid complacency, as underestimating the challenge from EDG could prove costly.
