The VCT Americas League is almost halfway through its first stage, which is the Regular Season. Here, teams are fighting to stay in the top six to make it to the Playoffs, where these teams will then have a chance to qualify for the VCT Masters Tokyo. Week 5 Day 2 presents two matchups, and one of them is between NA's Evil Geniuses and LATAM's Leviatán.
Week 5 Day 1 had two very dominant matchups. NRG Esports rose up to their previously displayed potential and took down 100 Thieves in the first match by winning the BO3 (Best of Three) series 2-0.
NRG only has a total of ten rounds to 100 Thieves. FURIA did the same against MIBR as they won their series with a clean 2-0.
Evil Geniuses vs Leviatán - Who will come out victorious in this matchup at the VCT Americas League?
Predictions
Evil Geniuses haven't had the best start in 2023. The team gave a decent performance at VCT LOCK//IN but the same can't be said for the Americas League. So far, Evil Geniuses have only won one out of their five matches in the league. This puts them in ninth place on the table.
Leviatán has done well in the Americas League. The team has looked absolutely dominating in the matches they have won. So far, Leviatán has won three out of their five matches.
This matchup heavily favors Leviatán as their performance looked leagues above Evil Geniuses. The NA squad will have to work hard to win this contest.
Head-to-head
The two teams have not faced each other before.
Recent results
Evil Geniuses' recent match was against LOUD, losing the BO3 series by 1-2. They had a great map 1, winning 13-3, but a very one-sided map 3 which they lost 0-13.
