G2 Esports vs Evil Geniuses at VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1: Who will win the game?

Prediction

G2 Esports announced on April 5 that they have signed a new player, icy. One can assume that the lineup has not had much time to play together as a squad, so it would be unfair to expect a flawless showing from them today. That said, the roster is packed with highly talented players, who have the potential to match some of the best teams in the world.

Many fans might have been disappointed to see the Champions 2023-winning Evil Geniuses team break up, but the current squad is nothing to be trifled with. With jawgemo moving on to a more Duelist-based role and the able hands of Potter still guiding the team, they still have the potential to shine.

All things considered, today's G2 Esports vs Evil Geniuses match at VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1 is skewed in the latter's favor, simply owing to the fact that the team has spent time together.
