Evil Geniuses show everybody improper with a unprecedented run via the Decrease Bracket, clinching their first ever LCS trophy.
Nicely, my prediction didn’t go as deliberate (again) as Evil Geniuses full their decrease bracket run with yet one more sweep over 100 Thieves. Their sequence in opposition to Staff Liquid was not a fluke or TL merely atrophying over the ultimate stretch; Evil Geniuses have come collectively in an enormous option to clinch the title – the primary for the group.
Their greatest declare to the trophy is teamplay and coordination. The Evil Geniuses are very a lot on the identical web page relating to skirmishing and teamfighting. The younger carries of the roster have absolutely introduced into the veterans’ sport plan and it reveals by how rapidly and decisively EG are capable of choose aside groups in essential fights. It’s particularly spectacular contemplating that I nonetheless don’t consider EG has the very best participant in each function; barring Danny and perhaps Affect, the remainder of the EG lineup should not head and shoulders above their respective competitors throughout the area. Their success comes from a single mindedness that could be very obvious over their final two sequence – when one individual says go, the remainder of the workforce comply with, with out a single shred of hesitation.
Although this was not the end result anybody would have predicted, I’m fairly completely happy about sending this EG roster to MSI. This can be very refreshing to see a reliable coach like Peter Dun scout and put money into native NA expertise when the outdated guard organizations are spending small fortunes attempting to purchase out washed gamers from different areas. Hopefully, this units a precedent for all the opposite North American organizations who’re complaining concerning the lack of native expertise – up your scouting sport, up your teaching sport, and perhaps you wouldn’t must spend a lot cash constructing groups which have nearly no hope in worldwide competitors.
Congratulations to the Evil Geniuses!
