What Happened in Team Envy vs Evil Geniuses — VCT Americas Stage 2

Evil Geniuses handled Team Envy across both maps without needing a third. Team Envy dropped Map 1 and fell again on Map 2, which produced a round total north of 20.5 — precisely what the Over market needed.

Map 2 was the decisive battleground for traders. The round total climbed past the 20.5 threshold, validating the YES side in full. Evil Geniuses closed out the map with enough rounds to secure a comfortable series victory, advancing with their Group Alpha record intact.
