Evil Geniuses vs FURIA Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 Americas League

The Evil Geniuses vs FURIA concludes the second day of VCT Americas 2023 Superweek

FURIA and the rest of the Brazilian rosters sit comfortably on the top half of the standings, while Evil Geniuses are coming from a rough start. This match between the two squads will answer whether Demon1’s addition will continue to work out for EG or FURIA will become one of the top names of this event.

Evil Geniuses

We saw a slightly different look for the roster on EG’s last series. They finally grabbed their first win at this event against KRÜ Esports, with the substitute player Demon1 showcasing an excellent performance. Nonetheless, it’s too early to say if this new replacement will bring a shift of pace, given they only beat the current worst team of the event.

Player to Watch

Demon1

FURIA

The Brazilian squad is turning out to be one of the top contenders of VCT, as they come from a 2-1 record in this matchup. Their only loss was against LOUD on the last series, where Khalil and his teammates couldn’t stand against the oppression of aspas. However, we aren’t expecting FURIA to lose their confidence as they are the favorites of this Best of 3.
