NRG vs Evil Geniuses - Which team will win this match at VCT Americas 2024 Stage 1?
Predictions
NRG Esports has had a few ups and downs in the 2024 season. After missing VCT Masters Madrid, the team fired up for Stage 1 and took down several opponents, including the Brazilian team, LOUD. Their only loss has been against Leviatán, who is currently at the top of the Omega group.
On the other hand, Evil Geniuses has not looked great in 2024 so far. Although their performance at the Americas Kickoff was acceptable, Stage 1 has looked much worse as they have lost most of their matches. Recently, they did show sparks of potential after defeating the recent Masters winners, Sentinels, after mounting a massive comeback.
This NRG Esports vs Evil Geniuses match heavily favors the former as the team has performed significantly better this year. However, Evil Geniuses were able to prove people wrong in their previous series and might pull off a similar win against NRG Esports.
Head-to-head
These teams have faced off against each other many times before. The most recent NRG Esports vs Evil Geniuses match was during the Americas League in 2023 where NRG Esports won the Bo5 (Best-of-five) series by 3-1.
