FURIA vs Evil Geniuses Black Preview and Predictions: BLAST Premier Spring American Showdown 2023

The final match of the BLAST Premier Spring American Showdown Quarterfinals will be FURIA vs Evil Geniuses.


FURIA Esports’ only real competition at this Showdown should be Team Liquid, but Evil Geniuses’ Black academy roster is a bit of an unknown quantity, so there could be a surprise waiting for the hot favorite Brazilians. It’s not as though they can’t take their northern neighbors down regardless, but things might get tricky. Up for some CSGO betting or just want to learn about the two teams ahead of the matchup? Here’s our in-depth preview.

FURIA Esports 

It’s been a while since the Brazilians got their hands on any decent international prizes, and considering the fact that they failed to qualify for any of BLAST’s Finals last year, this is their chance at returning to BLAST’s bigger seasonal events. There’s no doubt that they have the talent, but it’s the implementation of that talent that’s been questionable at best.

Evil Geniuses Black 

It’s been a tough year for Evil Geniuses. Their plans for creating a viable system with multiple academies hasn’t worked out and seems to be falling apart. Now they’re taking the main roster out to give its berth to one of its academies, and only time will tell whether this will work out for them or not.
