Predictions

G2 Esports' roster had a phenomenal performance last year as they destroyed their competition at the Americas Ascension. This team is filled with insanely talented players who can turn up in crucial rounds when needed. So far, G2 Esports has looked a little shaky at the Kickoff event but definitely has potential and can make it into the Playoffs stage.

Evil Geniuses have gone through a complete change in their roster for the 2024 season. By recruiting players like derrek, supamen, apoth, and nature, the team certainly looks like an underdog coming into this Kickoff event. While all these players have proven themselves on other teams in the past, it will be interesting to see how well they play under the guidance of the world champion coach, Potter.

The matchup of G2 Esports vs Evil Geniuses very heavily favors the former due to how successful the core team has been in the past. However, nobody knows what to expect from this new Evil Geniuses squad, who might just surprise everyone with their plays.
