Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Evil Geniuses Prediction: No Chance for the Geniuses

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 is one of the seasonal stages of the BLAST Premier League. There are no qualifiers for this tournament. Only twelve invited teams will compete for $177,500 in prize money. But the grand prize will be a quota for the next stage, the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, awarded to the first through sixth place teams in this tournament.

The format of Fall Groups 2022 is unique and does not replicate any of the previous tournaments. The championship will be held in three stages: the group stage, the "knockout" stage, and the "last chance" stage. The participants were divided into three groups of four squads for the group stage. All group stage matches will be played in BO1 format and in a double elimination system (any team will face the defeated one in a parallel game and have the possibility to continue in the bottom grid) for each group. At the end of the group stage, none of the teams will leave the tournament (BO1 healthy). It will only be a struggle to seed to the next stage. The next knockout stage is similar in structure to the playoff grid, but only three teams will leave the tournament at this stage, and three more will receive a quota for the next round. The remaining six teams will go on to the "last chance" stage, where the teams that occupy the remaining three slots will be determined. All second and third-stage matches will be played in BO3, single elimination.

The opening match of the knockout stage will be a confrontation with is a clear favorite. Although the North American team made replacements for the new season, this did not lead to instant results. This match will most likely be an elimination match for Evil Geniuses.

Ninjas in Pyjamas: Too Strong Favorite

At the end of last season, Ninjas in Pyjamas performed confidently, winning one tournament (Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022) and climbing to the fifth position in the world ranking. Enough time has passed since inviting the last player to the main roster. And the newly recruited shooter Patrick es3tag Hansen is gaining experience and playing better and better. This season we expect a good, competitive game and more wins.

At this tournament they have already managed to show both their maximum and their minimum. They won their first game very confidently, and just as confidently lost the other two. It was obvious that the guys haven't quite mastered the season yet, and often made simple mistakes. Nevertheless, their opponents today are much weaker. Ninjas in Pyjamas should expect to win 2-0.

The last change in the lineup was the arrival of Ludvig Brollan Brolin.

Best hltv rating - 2nd in the world. Now - 9th place.

Best map is overpass, with a win rate of 67% in 6 map played.

Evil Geniuses: So Bad, They Need More Time

For over a year now, Evil Geniuses have been unable to set the right lineup. After the collapse they tried different players, but no one stayed for long. Their own style is somewhere there and the players were losing form and motivation with every lost map. They dropped below 200th place from the second position in the world rankings, and the decision was made to completely reconsider the roster. So they invited experienced but unstable William RUSH Wierzba, who wanted to finish his career, and caught in "Valorant" Timothy autimatic Ta. Jake Stewie2K Yip became the captain of the new roster and Damien maLeK Marcel took the position of the head coach. This lineup looked more like an experiment and it didn't work. In six months, the guys did not show a decent performance even in the home region, where the overall level of play is quite low. And that led again to the reshuffles.

The start of the tournament completely failed for the Evil Geniuses. Not only did they not win a match, they could not even put up a fight against their opponents. It can be seen that the new captain is trying to bring structure to the game, but has not yet achieved full cohesion. Also, the team lags far behind other teams in the individual form of players. We want to believe that with the new captain the boys will again find the motivation to practice. They just need more time, especially since the Geniuses are using substitutes in this tournament. Either way, whoever the team faces tonight, they will be the underdogs of the showdown.

The last change in the lineup was the arrival of Sanzhar neaLaN Iskhakov as captain, and a young Canadian player Jadan HexT Postma. Also Daniel Vorborg Vorborg will work as head coach.

The best rating according to hltv is the 33rd in the world. Currently - 100th place.
