Evil Geniuses vs KRÜ Esports Preview & Predictions – VCT 2023 Americas League

Evil Geniuses vs KRÜ Esports in week 3 of the VCT 2023 Americas League will see two teams fighting to get their first win of the league stage

A win in this matchup means everything for both teams, as going 0-3 all but ends the hope for playoffs qualification. Regardless of the recent results, this clash is worth watching due to how they match up stylistically. If you are into Valorant betting or want to know more about the teams, this preview is for you.

Evil Geniuses

Losing both encounters against their fellow NA teams while failing to win a single map has to have left a terrible blow to the players’ morale. The situation looks even grimmer as EG decided to replace BcJ with Demon1 in the playing 5. Benching a player mid-tournament is anything but the sign of a stable team.

KRÜ Esports

With back-to-back losses against Furia and MIBR, it seems KRÜ Esports have difficulty dealing with the Brazillians. A match against an off-form team like EG presents KRÜ with their best chance so far to bag the first win.
