Evil Geniuses and BIG will compete at the play-in stage of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. The match, starting February 3, 16:30 UTC, will decide who goes through to the next opponent — Astralis.

Evil Geniuses are not in the form fans hoped to see them after the massive transfer window. They have lost their opening matches in the group stage of the tournament and may not be prepared for a disciplined team like BIG. The team from NA has these players in line with an ex-Cloud9 trio:

  • RUSH;

  • Brehze;

  • Autimatic;

  • Stewie2K;

  • CeRq.

BIG, on the other hand, have shown that they are able to deliver victories at the BLAST stage. At least against NA teams like Complexity. They have this roster registered for the clash:

  • tabseN;

  • tiziaN;

  • syrsoN;

  • K1to;

  • faveN.

BIG vs EG Winning Odds

North American Geniuses have the least chances in this matchup, according to bookmakers, as their form does not satisfy anyone. It is understandable, as the team's only starting to play with this roster, so the synergy will surely develop over time. Yet the odds favor BIG this time:

  • Winner: BIG — 1.54;
  • Winner: EG — 2.46;
  • Map total — 2.16.
