Match forudsigelse: Team Liquid - Evil Geniuses | VALORANT

Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses will meet in the semi-finals of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo. But while you'd expect such a result from the European squad, the North Americans continue to surprise.

And Evil Geniuses doesn't show much, if you look at the overall situation on the pro scene. But it turns out that the team has been tearing apart opponents time and time again, and now the favorites from LOUD have been caught.

All in all, it will be interesting to see what the Evil Geniuses come up with this time around. Still, the Liquid remain "in charge". So here I would lean on Team Liquid to win.

Team Liquid's form

The third team of the European ranking has played horribly in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where it was already sensationally defeated in the first round by Team Secret.

On the other hand, the Liquid have improved at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League. Team Liquid were bouncing from side to side in the regular season, but in the play-offs they took the trophy.

Now, at the Long Camp VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Masters Tokyo, the European side has managed to beat EDward Gaming. Not to say that Liquid played their best, but in fact the result is logical.

Team Liquid's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Natus Vincere.
• A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.
• Victory over FUT Esports 3-0.
• Defeated Fnatic 3-1.
• Beat EDward Gaming 2-1.

Team Liquid's best records:

• Split - 75% wins.
• Ascent - 71% wins.
• Fracture - 67% wins.
• Bind - 60% wins.
• Haven - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the European squad have been consistently turning down Pearl.

In turn, the North American team does not usually appear on the Bind map.

Another Fracture from Evil Geniuses? In fact, if the North Americans give up their peak, it should be an easy one for Team Liquid. Otherwise, there's not much to say about Evil Geniuses, just because.

As for the European squad, the guys need to get their act together and not clamp down in the rounds, as the late timings work out so badly.

Still, in this case I'd recommend betting on Team Liquid to win.
