OpTic Gaming vs Evil Geniuses: Who will win the game tonight in the VCT NA Stage 2 Challengers Playoffs?

OpTic Gaming and Evil Geniuses will play a best-of-three series tonight in the VCT NA Stage 2 Challengers Playoffs. Fans are eagerly awaiting the game.

Prediction

Both teams are currently among the strongest in the North American region, and it is difficult to predict a clear winner for today's game.

However, OpTic Gaming was the champion of the VCT Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik. Since then, the team has performed exceptionally well and has dominated the region. The team dreams of representing the region once again in the Copenhagen Masters, the first-ever international Valorant LAN event with a live audience. With players like yay and Marved, and a big-brain IGL like FNS calling the shots, OpTic Gaming has a higher chance of taking the series tonight.

Evil Geniuses had a stellar performance in the Group Stage after a recent roster change. In fact, the team even defeated OpTic Gaming previously in the event. Evil Geniuses will be hoping for a similar outcome tonight, and fans can expect a thrilling battle.

The two teams have previously played against each other only once, and the match took place in the Group Stage of the current event.

On the other hand, OpTic Gaming will be interested in redeeming themselves.
