Match Predict – Handicap (-11.5) for Cloud9
Cloud9 had time to prepare for the tournament. The guys are the main favorite in Group D and should have no problem winning the first match. We think, betting on Cloud9’s victory with a handicap (-11.5), looks like a good option.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Cloud9 vs Evil Geniuses
Cloud9 :
Cloud9 performed poorly at IEM Cologne 2022. The Russian team took only 9-12th place, which is an absolute failure for such a squad. At the same time, two Cloud9 players were in the top eight at the end of the tournament in terms of individual statistics. Ax1Le and sh1ro showed excellent shooting, but it did not help the team. After the failed tournament, Cloud9 rested for more than two months. During this period of time, the team had to reboot and approach ESL Pro League Season 16 in maximum condition.
As for maps, the Russian team will not be able to play Vertigo, which at one point was the strongest team on the pro scene. Nevertheless, the guys have Mirage, on which Evil Geniuses doesn’t feel the best. Cloud9, on the other hand, shows a pretty good game. This card can be called one of the strongest on the team. Not so long ago the American team lost to Mirage with a score of 6-16 BIG. Germans are in bad shape now and a smashing defeat to such a team is indicative. I do not think that Cloud9 will experience any problems at its peak.

Evil Geniuses:
Evil Geniuses after changes in the lineup could not add to the results. At BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, the team lost without a chance to all opponents. The only good thing was winning on one card against Ninjas In Pyjamas. Yes, after that the Americans were able to qualify for RMR in their region, but the level of opponents in the open qualifications is so low that it is not worth giving much importance to these victories. And there was a struggle on almost every map. In only one match Evil Geniuses managed to win confidently against a team that isn’t even in the top 50 of the HLTV ranking.
As for maps, in recent matches, Evil Geniuses took Nuke and Ancient. On the first card Cloud9 is sure to get banned, and on the second card Evil Geniuses doesn’t look like a favorite. The Russian team plays Ancient very well and shouldn’t have any problems there. There’s also Inferno, which is traditionally considered to be Cloud9’s weak point, but at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 Evil Geniuses looked awful on that card. And at the IEM Road to Rio 2022. Open Qualifier every win was very difficult for the team. On Inferno, Evil Geniuses can take more than ten rounds, but I don’t believe in winning on this card at all. The match should end 2-0 in favor of Cloud9. EG looked too unconvincing in recent games.
