The group stage at the IEM New York 2020 North America continues with a duel between Evil Geniuses, one of the biggest favorites to win the tournament, and Rebirth, who are candidates to make it to the playoffs.

Evil Geniuses Team Stats and Latest Results

Evil Geniuses snapped a two-game losing skid with a pair of victories over Triumph and New England Whalers, and those wins came in style, as EG recorded them with a big round difference. The one over Triumph was particularly pleasing as Evil Geniuses allowed just nine rounds in the process. Evil Geniuses won 12 of the previous 16 matches.

During the past three months, Evil Geniuses were unbeaten on Train and Overpass, and displayed fine performances on Mirage (80.0% win rate) and Inferno (72.7%), while their “weakest” results came on Nuke (60.0%). Evil Geniuses are playing with the current lineup since August 2020, and they appeared together on 35 maps with a record of 25 wins and ten losses. The team members are Stanislaw (0.97 rating), tarik (1.07), Brehze (1.23), Brehze (1.14), and CeRq (1.17).

Rebirth Team Stats and Latest Results

Rebirth suffered an expected loss to FURIA in the opening match of the IEM New York 2020 North America but managed to bounce back with a 2-1 victory over ImPerium, while they also recorded a win at the ESEA MDL Season 35 North America over Secret Club. However, they are absolute underdogs in this clash with Evil Geniuses, so another loss is widely expected. Rebirth won seven of the last 11 games.

In the previous three months, Rebirth played above average only on Mirage (75.0%), while they didn’t taste a victory on Vertigo and Nuke, although played only once on each of those maps. Rebirth is playing with a new lineup and this game will actually be their first with the following five players: phantom (0.99), retchy (1.04), Sneaky (1.00), nosraC (1.08), and Inseaniac (1.10).

Evil Geniuses vs. Rebirth Betting Preview

Considering the ridiculously low odds on Evil Geniuses to win, I am not going to back them here. Still, there is no big offer when it comes to betting on this match, and I have to predict something, so I am going with Evil Geniuses to cover-1.5 spread. The odds for this bet are also low but can be used as a part of the parlay, rather than a single bet.

The Pick: Evil Geniuses -1.5 (-500 @GG.BET)
