Evil Geniuses suffer another defeat - Result of the last matchday of the second week of VCT 2024 Americas League

The group stage of the VCT 2024 Americas League is in full swing, and yesterday marked the end of the second matchweek. Only one match took place on the final matchday between the reigning world champions, Evil Geniuses, and Cloud9.

Despite EG currently holding the title of world champions, thanks to their victory at Valorant Champions 2023, their past glory is all that remains. After the championship, 4 out of 5 core players left the team, resulting in a new roster that appears to be less competitive compared to many of the top teams in the American region. This was evident in yesterday's match against Cloud9, where the latter emerged victorious.

 
 

Although the match started with the reigning champions securing a 13-9 victory on Lotus, it didn't instill confidence in EG for the subsequent matches. On the second map, Sunset, Cloud9 convincingly fought back from their defeat and secured their first victory with a score of 13-8. The final location, Split, witnessed a complete rout, resulting in the "geniuses" losing with a score of 4-13. As a result of the match, Evil Geniuses plummet to the bottom of their group with an overall match score of 0-2. Meanwhile, Cloud9 rises to third place in their group with an overall score of 2-0.

It's worth noting that the VCT 2024: Americas League Stage 1 is taking place from April 6 to May 12 in LAN format at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles. Eleven partner teams are competing for 3 invitations to the upcoming Masters Shanghai 2024, as well as 3 Americas Points for first place, which are necessary for qualification to the world championship.
