Maç Tahmini: Rooster - Evil Geniuses | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

Autumn CSGO continues to gain momentum. We're watching the group stage matches of the big and prestigious ESL Pro League Season 18 championship.

Originally, the tournament featured 32 teams from around the world. At stake is $835,000 and tickets to BLAST Fall Finals 2023, as well as IEM Katowice 2024.

Clearly, the reward is worth fighting for. Here's a look at what's happening in Group B, where the elimination games begin.

Rooster and Evil Geniuses will be the first to fight for life in the tournament. Someone from this pair will leave the race called ESL Pro League Season 18, at the TOP-32 stage.

We will try to find out which of the teams will be the main loser of Group B and will leave the championship without having started the game, and which of the pair will continue their performance in ESL Pro League Season 18. The winner of the match goes to the loser of the Heroic/MOUZ pairing.

Let's go.

Evil Geniuses uniforms

Let's open the match with an analysis of Evil Geniuses' form. In this match the representatives of the North American scene are destined to play the first number one.

Bookmakers are definitely on the side of EG. The odds for their victory are at around 1.3.

Paradoxically, this figure is not surprising at all. EG is objectively one of the worst teams on the ESL Pro League Season 18 stage, but even they look good against the Aussies.

EG played a lot in the season, but it was almost useless. At the beginning of the year there were BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 with top-12, and then there was top-24 at IEM Katowice 2023.

Played the previous EPL season where they finished in last place. Later A Cross, if you can call it that Top 8 at B-tier tournaments like CCT.

In May, returned to the title scene with appearances at IEM Dallas 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. Top-16 at the former and Top-12 at the latter.

• Evil Geniuses lineup: autimatic, Walco, Jeorge, junior, HexT.

In the second half of the season Evil Geniuses improved their performance a bit. They have already made it to the top 4, though not at title tournaments.

EG climbed into the top four at CCT North Europe, and the last tournament before ESL Pro League Season 18 was Thunderpick World Championship 2023: North American Series. But, again, with such investment and opportunity, Ledgeath Nouns on the home stage is not what you expect when you want to play internationally.

In the first match at ESL Pro League Season 18 we played against ENCE. The opponent was a few goals higher, so it was no surprise that EG Ledge Nouns were 0-2 down.

In the next match EG again faced a strong European team, this time MOUZ, and the result was predictable: Evil Geniuses Ledge beat Mirage 9-16 and then Nuke 14-16.

Evil Geniuses Mappool

The best Evil Geniuses map is Ancient. They have 100% wins in 3 matches.

Next are Nuke (3 wins and 1 loss), Vertigo (4 wins, 3 losses), Inferno (3 matches, 3 losses).

The worst are Overpass (2 wins with 6 matches), and also Mirage (1 win, 4 losses).

Rooster's form

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Rooster's form. In this match, they will play as a number two side.

Bookmakers confirm the pre-match odds. The odds for Rooster's victory are at around 4.4.

By the way, this is a very high figure for Rooster. Especially against EG and considering the fact that Rooster played in the lower net, which is not the case with EG.

Speaking of odds. In this case I think the figure is a bit inflated, because Monte look far from ultimatising and even in the match against Heroic - top 3 team in the world - Rooster had more chances. Somehow.

The Aussie club had a pretty eventful year andVent. However, the level of these tournaments was quite low.

Among the most productive championships were the ESEA Cash Cup Oceania series tournaments. Rooster played 6 of them, 5 of which were won and one of them took TOP-2. Then there were all kinds of qualifications and qualifying championships, including qualification for ELS Pro League Season 18, which Rooster successfully overcame.

• Rooster roster: asap, chelleos, ADK, nettik, TjP.

The mono-national roster underwent changes at the beginning of the summer. Then TjP joined the team and became the leader of the team with a rating of 1.19. However, it should be understood that Rooster played against Australian teams, and this is definitely not the level of CS-1 TIR, where Heroic is constantly on top positions.

At ESL Pro League Season 18, the Australians debuted with a match against the Danes from Heroic. No The International riga there: on Inferno Heroic slammed Rooster with a score of 16-2, and on Mirage with a score of 16-4.

Next Rooster fell to Monte. In that match the Ukrainian club was the undisputed leader, but the Australians managed to surprise Monte on the first map, taking their peak, the Nuke map, with the score 16-8. Next it was 10-16 to Anubis and Mirage and as a result, a drop to the bottom set.

Map Rooster

Rooster's best map is the neutral Inferno. They have played it 5 times, of which they have won all of them.

Next is Mirage (4 games, 3 wins), Nuke (4 games, 50% wins), Vertigo (2 games, 1 win).

Among the worst are Overpass (1 win and 2 losses), and also Anubis (0 wins with only one pick).

History of head-to-head meetings

Previously, the teams have not played each other in head-to-head matches. This match is the debut match between the teams.

Predicted result of the match Rooster - Evil Geniuses at ESL Pro League Season 18

In my opinion, this match will be one of the most internationally heresy on ESL Pro League Season 18. The fact is that both teams are characterised by their "no-baseline" play, which promises an equal slash in this match for life. If EG do win, which of course is rare on the modern CSGO scene, they will not do it cleanly, Ledgei map. That's what my bet will be on.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Rooster.
