This will be the blockbuster match of the weekend, with two of the best teams in the LCS battling it out to improve their bid for the top of the standings in summer. Evil Geniuses currently hold that position with a stunning record of 6-1, a far and significant improvement from the levels of mediocrity they hit in the previous splits. Not too far behind lie Team Liquid with a 5-2 record, joint second in the league.
Evil Geniuses vs Team Liquid Match Prediction
Evil Geniuses
EG have been the toast of the LCS this season, with 6 wins of 7 games. Like 100 Thieves, you will find that their calculated mode of attacking and moving through the lanes has lent itself to strong team fights prior to the spawning of neutral objectives. They average 35 minutes and 38 seconds in their games, which is a sign of strong defense, and that almost always results in a transition through the phases and soon into the opposition nexus territory.
They have a stunning kill differential, with 16.6 kills per game with just 9.3 deaths. That differential is one of the reasons for their stellar success so far. They have 1936 gold units per minute, with a +262 gold differential per minute and +949 gold differential at 15 minutes. They have also claimed the first tower in 85.7 percent of their matches, another indicator of their early game prowess in the LCS. Not many teams can match up with this level of proficiency early in maps.
Team Liquid
Team Liquid have gone the other way, opting to stay aggressive and stay hunting, either in the jungle or in the lanes this season. Their average game duration is 31 seconds shy of 30 minutes, which is even quicker than some of the best teams in the LPL, arguably the fastest league in the world.
Liquid average 12.4 kills and 7 deaths per game, with a solid differential in their games. They deal an average of 2013 damage units per minute, which is well shy of EG’s damage per minute metric, which is in excess of 2600 per minute. Like EG though, they have reliable gold numbers across the board, which includes gold per minute (1884), gold differential per minute (+211) and a gold differential at 15 minutes (+793).

This will be a battle of wits, it will be a battle of differing strategies and a battle between two of the best. Liquid have a way of finding their best against the best, which is why I would rather stay on the side of the more consistent team this year.
