Evil Geniuses are at the absolute top of their game presently. They are at the top of the LCS standings with an 8-1 record after nine games. In terms of form, they have won four on the bounce, and are looking set for a deep run in the LCS Championships. Counter Logic Gaming have also punched above their weight this season, with five wins in nine matches.
Evil Geniuses vs Counter Logic Gaming Match Prediction
Evil Geniuses
Let’s delve deeper into some of the reasons for this EG proficiency. For starters, they have deployed a concerted style of playing in Summoner’s Rift, which includes moving around the map methodically, picking up steam when required and then attacking in team fights when allowed. That is very similar to the DWG KIA style of play in the LCK.
They have an average game duration of 35 minutes and 42 seconds, which is the longest in the league. They gave a kill to death ratio of 1.79, which is also the best in the LCS. All the indicators point to a team that may be capable of winning the LCS championship at the end of the year. They may even have ambitions of winning the grand LoL Worlds but we shall reserve our judgement for later.
They have averaged 16.3 kills, comfortably the most in the LCS. Impressively, their defense has not suffered with just 9 deaths per map. They have destroyed 8.7 towers per game and allowed their opponents to average just 3.9 towers destroyed against them. Dominance by almost every reliable metric.
Counter Logic Gaming
CLG have not quite been at their best but they have won the key moments: the crucial team fight ahead of soul or stealing the baron or even flanking into fights fortuitously. Nonetheless, their impressive positive record despite having bad metrics, such as their negative kill to death ratio, is indicative of a team that can sustain their excellence by just staying alert during clutch moments.
They might need to improve on their overall kill rate and aggression though. Their most proficient offensive player is Luger, who has managed 2.89 kills per map. He also has the best KDA in the team. His returns include 2.89 kills, 2.67 deaths and 6.33 assists per map at a KDA of 3.46 along with a creep score of 241.33 and a CSPM of 7.29.

EG all the way. I do feel that CLG have exceeded their expectations and their poor kill rate will come back to haunt them at some point, starting with this match against one of the best teams in the league.
