DetonatioN FocusMe vs Evil Geniuses at League of Legends Worlds 2022 preview

Predictions

DetonatioN FocusMe is currently the third-ranked team in Group A. They have secured two wins and taken two losses. During the DFM vs BYG (Beyond Gaming) series, the former's top laner, Shunsuke "Evi" Murase, surprised the community by locking Lillia in the top lane.

DetonatioN FocusMe held an awe-inspiring 84% win rate during their LJL (League of Legends Japan League) 2022 season. The team's mid-laner Lee "Yaharong" Chan-ju and ADC Yuta "Yutapon" Sugiura are considered by many to be the team's star players.

Meanwhile, Evil Geniuses are currently the top team in the Group A play-ins stage. They have a 75% win rate (three wins and one loss), with their only loss coming against LEC powerhouses Fnatic. The North American squad has won every game since following a somewhat shaky start to League of Legends Worlds 2022.

During the play-ins, Evil Geniuses' jungler, Kacper "Inspired" Słoma, dominated the Summoner's Rift, as he held a staggering 11.0 KDA ratio in the four games. He remains undefeated on picks such as Maokai, Lee Sin, and Hecarim.

As for the predictions, Evil Geniuses should be able to get ahead of DetonatioN FocusMe during their clash. Nevertheless, anything is possible during the best-of-one series since the underdog may outperform and defeat the favored team.
