Evil Geniuses vs 100 Thieves - Which team will win VCT Americas Stage 2?

Predictions

Evil Geniuses has had some ups and downs in the 2024 season. While their performance was not the strongest during Stage 1, they were still able to take down some of the stronger teams in the region. In Stage 2, they have secured a total of two wins and a loss so far.

100 Thieves has also had a rocky time in the 2024 season. After a disappointing performance in Kickoff, the team pulled themselves up and managed to not only win Stage 1 but also finish in fourth place for Masters Shanghai. However, Stage 2 has looked different as their only win has been against the weakest team in the region, MIBR.

This match of Evil Geniuses vs 100 Thieves favors the latter as they have given better performances throughout this year. However, Evil Geniuses is not a team that can be underestimated as they have always been able to work with some unique compositions in the most crucial matches.
