Evil Geniuses is one of the best teams in North America. The team is ranked 3rd in the world behind BIG and Team Vitality. Evil Geniuses is also the leader in the North American RMR scoreboard. The roster includes some of the most talented players in CS:GO who have taken the challenge and defeated top players from other teams. Evil Geniuses often come up short in the strategical department against other European teams. However, in North America, there are few that can challenge the boys in blue.

Triumph recently lost its star player, Grim, to Team Liquid. The team also parted ways with curry, who will pursue his education and take a break from professional CS:GO. Ever since this roster change, Triumph has been unable to put forth a strong performance or have a respectable score in its matches. The reason for the sub-par performance is the lack of adequate synergy and coordination between the players.

Pick: Evil Geniuses Map 2 -5.5 rounds handicap (-138 @ Pinnacle)

Triumph’s roster troubles mean that the team will not be able to put forth a strong performance in this match. The team has relied on team chemistry and the lack of a stable roster is going to affect it against one of the best North American CS:GO teams.I am taking Evil Geniuses to win Map 2 with a -5.5 handicap.
