Evil Geniuses Team Stats and Latest Results
Evil Geniuses are not playing well in 2021, and although they had a plan to break into the top 10 in the CS:GO rankings, it’s only a matter of time before they dropped out of the top 20. In order to avoid that, they need to start winning games, and this one looks like a good chance for a W. They made an upset on the opening day of the ESL Pro League Season 13 with a 2-1 win over Astralis, but lost the next three games to Virtus.pro, fnatic, and Liquid. Evil Geniuses lost nine of the previous 13 matches.
When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Evil Geniuses were decent on Nuke (71.4% win rate), while they didn’t taste a victory on Dust2 (played four times) and disappointed on Vertigo (16.7%). Evil Geniuses lost 16 of 42 maps since the formation of the current lineup in February 2021. The team members are Stanislaw (0.87 rating), Tarik (0.93), Brehze (1.09), CeRq (1.01), and oBo (0.97).

Evil Geniuses vs. Endpoint Betting Preview
Evil Geniuses are favorites here and a better-ranked team, but given the lack of importance of this game, I’d avoid betting on them to win. In fact, I will avoid betting on the winner at all. Endpoint will try to make a better impression at this tournament and I am sure they will be more motivated to get a good result, especially after being eliminated out of the Pinnacle Cup 2021. I am backing the underdogs to get a map and cover a +1.5 handicap.
The Pick: Endpoint +1.5 (-156 @GGBET)
