Evil Geniuses vs Wildcard Gaming Prediction: Evil Geniuses need to win

On Tuesday, June 14, the second game week of the North American DPC Regional DPC League's third round of Dota 2 will begin. The teams Evil Geniuses and Wildcard Gaming will kick off the next game day of the league's summer tour.

DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I is an online Dota 2 tournament that will run from June 07 to July 13, 2022. Eight of the strongest teams from the North American region will compete for $205,000. In addition to cash prizes, teams battle for two trips to the majors and the important DPC points needed to qualify for T11.

Evil Geniuses: A team on the brink of failure

Once again, Evil Geniuses is in the spotlight, and once again, like in winter, due to bad luck. The favorite of the North American region started the first winter tour with two defeats in a row, the Evil Geniuses also started the third summer tour with a defeat against nouns (1:2), which caused a storm of anger, and that's not surprising, especially against the background of the failed majors.

Evil Geniuses should urgently forget the last major in Sweden, where they became the worst team in the world, if we don't consider the Mind Games players who didn't make it to Stockholm at all. This result is no way to adequately evaluate this team, especially after the two finals of the previous tournaments, and the upcoming international tournament will be held in the U.S., in front of the native audience.

The bosses put all the failures on JerAx, who failed to wow the public with his game after returning to professional Dota. In his place of the five and captain returned Fly, rested and familiar to most of this squad.

It's hard to imagine who in the North American region right now, except TSM, can put up a real fight against Evil Geniuses. The team has to finish in the Top 2 and go to the home majors, though the summer tour will be very important for many American teams to score more DPC points before the final TI11 Qualifiers. That's why I don't expect easy life for EG, and the match with nouns showed it, but Evil Geniuses should have made conclusions from their game earlier.

Wildcard Gaming: Will progress continue?

The Wildcard Gaming team is a strong mid-tier team in the North American region. The guys already disappointed EG once in the winter and intend to do it again in the summer. The WG players started the third summer tour with a 2-0 victory over felt, but the opponent was not particularly strong, and the real test for the team will be just the clash with EG.

This team really had a chance to cling to the top 3 of the first and second regional leagues. Still, WG lacked experience somewhere and luck in these regional battles at the end of the season, and in the end, the team was content with only 5th place in winter and 4th place in spring. The team was just a bit short of qualifying for the regional finals and the major, but they kept playing in the same lineup and moving towards their main goal to get to TI11.

Wildcard Gaming is a North American eSports organization that has decided to break into Dota 2 in December 2021. WG acquired the D2 Hustlers lineup, which had a good track record in the North American arena.

Expert Betting Tips

This game will have three maps, so it is worth looking at the option of Total Over 2.5 maps for 2.66.

Wildcard Gaming team can take a map from such Evil Geniuses, so I advise to take on their handicap (+1.5) on the maps for 2.33.

Evil Geniuses will still win this meeting, and I predict the exact score of 2:1 in favor of EG for 3.44.
