Evil Geniuses Dominates ESL One Los Angeles Online Grand Finals
In an impressive display of skill and strategy, Evil Geniuses emerged victorious in the grand finals of ESL One Los Angeles Online. Despite having two stand-ins, EG exacted revenge on Quincy Crew, the only team to defeat them in the group stage, and reclaimed the top spot in North America.
Arteezy’s exceptional performance on Terrorblade in the first game set the tone for EG’s dominance. With a 9/0/6 KDA, Arteezy outplayed YawaR and CCnC on the opposing team, giving EG an early lead which they continued to build upon through strategic map control.
EG maintained their momentum in the second game, with Cr1t on Mirana and Fly’s support on Snapfire providing effective backup for Arteezy’s Naga Siren. EG’s consistency and ability to pick off Quincy Crew’s support heroes early on gave them a significant advantage, leading to their overwhelming victory with only three core heroes’ deaths.
Despite losing the first two games, Quincy Crew fought back in the third game with Bristleback and Void Spirit picks. However, EG’s steady gameplay and unwillingness to concede any kills allowed them to secure the win, leaving Quincy Crew in a difficult situation.
In the fourth game, Quincy Crew initially showed strength but failed to secure an early advantage, allowing EG to gain control and slowly push towards victory. Costly decision-making and a lack of aggressive play in mid-game fights resulted in EG’s spotless 33-21 win.
Conclusion of North America and Southeast Asia Regions
