Evil Geniuses falder ud af The International 2022

The match of the second round of the lower bracket between the teams Beastcoast and Evil Geniuses within The International 2022 has ended. Esports clubs fought for survival in the bo3 tournament. Earlier, Team Liquid fell into the lower bracket.

First map

Gojira stole a ward from Abed in the mid lane before the map started, which he placed on the ground. Beastcoast is generally a better start to the map. In 7 minutes they managed to commit 4 murders. At the 11th minute, representatives of South Africa exchanged their team's carries for 3 Evil Geniuses heroes with the help of Snapfire's ultimate ability. K1 and the team showed excellent performance and were ahead of the opponent with a score of 12:3. Economically, beastcoast wasn't doing so well, but due to their actions, Abed on Ember Spirit was in the second half of the list.

Despite a couple of mistakes from Chris Luck and his teammates, beastcoast outplayed Evil Geniuses with a score of 19:6 in the 20th minute, and they also had 5,000 more gold. When beastcoast started to enter the opponent's base, Arteezy and the team started making some strange mistakes. The score on the map was 28:8 in favor of the representatives of South America, they also had a 15,000 advantage in total cost in the 30th minute. The team from North America loses the first map in 36 minutes with a score of 40:14.

Second map

The teams had a fairly passive start on the second map. At the 17th minute, the score was 5:5, Evil Geniuses managed to take Roshan, which increased their gold advantage by 2,000. Beastcoast made a bet on the extremely late Naga Siren, who in the course of the match seriously took the lead in farming. Her lead over Lifestealer, played by Arteezy, was 5,000 gold. It didn't look like the Evil Geniuses had any plan to counter the Naga Siren. Beastcoast kill Roshan in the 39th minute and take the lead at 16:18 with 17,000 refarms. On the 41st, Evil Geniuses write “gg” in the chat and leave The International 2022.

Evil Geniuses repeated last year's result, and the representatives of South America continue their way through the lower bracket. Abed and the team take 9-12th place and earn $341,981 or 2% of the total prize pool. K1 with their teammates will be waiting tomorrow for the winner of the PSG.LGD match against BOOM Esports.
