Evil Geniuses began the series with a one-game advantage, having arrived in the Grand Finals through the Upper Brackets. Although C9 had a slight advantage early to mid game, Evil Geniuses would seize control around minute 18 with a beautiful Aegis steal by Saahil “UNiVeRsE” Arora, following a four-man wipe on C9 at the Roshan Pit. EG were able to maintain control all throughout the game. Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling had yet another amazing game on his Skywrath Mage, going 12:1:12.

The second game was just pure domination by the North American giants, with an incredible game by Syed Sumail “Suma1L” Hassan on Queen of Pain. He went 19:1:9, and at around minute 13 he went on a “Rampage”, wiping out all of C9.

Evil Geniuses

Evil Geniuses are the premier team of the North American region. Since placing third at The International 4, Evil Geniuses have continued to prove their talent, taking top placements in various tournaments. Despite a surprisingly subpar performance and placement at the MLG Pro League Finals, at X-Games, Evil Geniuses are still a main contender, after taking second place at ESL One Frankfurt 2015, where they fell, 3:1, to Team Secret in the Grand Finals.
