Cloud9 vs. Evil Geniuses Betting Previews

This is a game where the jungler will have a main role despite the fact jungle is not the main or the best player in any of the two teams. The main difference is a jungle focus because Cloud9 has focus on Ocean and Infernal Drake while Geniuses have their focus on Cloud Drake. The interesting fact is that the Evil Geniuses got zero Elders while Cloud9 got only one in 10 rounds. This is the time for Cloud9 to show their true potential and secure the first position. The revenge for a defeat in round four can be a real motivation for them to win this duel.
