LOUD vs Evil Geniuses - Which team will this match at VCT Americas Stage 2?

Prediction

While LOUD is mainly known for its consistent performances, 2024 has been a difficult season for this squad. The team displayed impressive performances during the Americas Kickoff but failed to carry that momentum into the VCT Masters Madrid and VCT Americas Stage 1. For Stage 2, the squad has brought back a former member and world champion, pANcada, on its roster.

Evil Geniuses has also had many problems in the 2024 season. While its new roster has shown a lot of promise, the team has been unable to play well in its regional events. However, towards the end of Stage 1, the squad was able to defeat some of the stronger Americas teams like Sentinels and NRG Esports.

This match of LOUD vs Evil Geniuses slightly favors the former as its roster's core has displayed world-class performances before. However, Evil Geniuses has been quite experimental recently and could make things very interesting with the new Agent changes.

Head-to-head

These teams have faced each other several times before. Their most recent game came during the VCT Americas Kickoff, where LOUD won the Bo3 series 2-1.
