LOUD’s Saadhak believes EG’s blunder in agent select led to historic VCT beatdown

Evil Geniuses did end up making history in their VCT Americas match against reigning world champions LOUD on April 24, but not in the way anyone expected after how the series started. And according to LOUD’s in-game leader, EG’s crucial mistake in the agent select phase was the nail in the coffin.

In a match that most fans expected LOUD to run away with, EG came out firing on LOUD’s pick of Split and stunned the No. 1 ranked Americas team 13-3 on their own map pick, handing LOUD their largest map loss of the year so far. EG came just a few rounds shy of handing LOUD an unprecedented 2-0 loss on Haven but still had a chance to close out the series on Pearl.
