Maksym ShylovAnalytics on the Evil Geniuses team, which became the best team in North America at the end of the DPC season. Due to some circumstances, they missed ESL One Malaysia 2022, but this is even a plus ahead of PGL Arlington Major 2022.

Evil Geniuses is always a controversial team, they play well in the regular season, but there are always problems in international tournaments due to the lack of normal competition in their own division. Yes, there are TSM FTX and nouns, Quincy Crew, but they also have felt, Wildcard Gaming, and 5RATFORCESTAFF, who fly in at 0:2 at once. They rate very active heroes for Nightfall and Abed, no longer Storm Spirit. With the arrival of Fly, EG started to play well, but the key problems of Evil Geniuses were not in their region.
Evil Geniuses are in group "B", where there will be a very tough fight for the upper bracket, they have rivals there: Team Spirit, Tundra Esports, Team Aster, Entity, BOOM Esports, beastcoast and NAVI.
Expectation: lower bracket for Evil Geniuses at PGL Arlington Major 2022
PGL Arlington Major 2022 will be the last Major of this season, it will be held from August 4 to 14 in the USA, 17 teams will play for $500,000 and, most importantly, 4570 DPC points.
