Evil Geniuses made it into the second round of the playoffs after crushing Dignitas (3-1) on Saturday. It was a fairly straightforward win for EG, who were a much better team on the day, and while they have had a few iffy moments, namely their members getting caught out of position, that mostly had to do with EG feeling a bit too confident with their lead.
Evil Geniuses’ next series is against 100 Thieves, which promises to be a spectacular matchup between two of the best LCS teams. If we compare these two squads, there isn’t a lot to separate them, although we like EG slightly better.
Evil Geniuses have been averaging some of the best performance metrics across four major regions and are 3-2 up in the head-to-head on the year (2-0 in summer), making them a solid bet at -102.04. You also can’t go wrong with a smaller stake on a -1.5 map handicap at +180.

MAD Lions are the reigning LEC champions but, if you look at their whole-season numbers and compare it to G2 Esports, it’s tough to make a strong case in their favour. MAD Lions are a good team; however, they don’t seem as solid as they were in April when they took the LEC trophy from Rogue.
Perhaps the whole-season numbers don’t show an accurate picture of how this match should go. But if we only analyse the performance metrics G2 and MAD have produced across the final few weeks of the regular season, it becomes evident that G2 are a much better team.
Across their last seven outings, G2 have managed 0.36 Gold Percentage Rating (GPR), 4.1% Average Gold Spent Percentage Difference (GSPD), 49.9 Early Game Rating (EGR), and the league’s highest 36.7 Mid Late Game Rating (MLR). In contrast, MAD Lions managed 0.03 GPR, 0.8% GSPD, 49.7 EGR, and 21.7 MLR.
We’re happy to take G2 Esports at -136.99.
