Evil Geniuses were flying high after their title-winning run at ESL One New York, but their wings were melted at DreamHack Masters Malmo<\/a> as they crashed out of the tournament on the second day.<\/p>\n

Every team is bound to have its ups and downs, however, there are rare occasions where a team experiences anything like EG did this Wednesday in Sweden.<\/p>\n

Only last week, Evil Geniuses entered ESL One New York as one of the underdogs and came away with their first win of the Intel Grand Slam<\/a> season.<\/p>\n

That impressive run featured a pair of shock wins over Astralis, including a momentous 3-1 victory in the grand finals.<\/p>\n

Having shown immense talent and great form in the Big Apple, EG arrived at DreamHack Masters Malmo as the team to watch and were considered by many to be a chance for the title.<\/p>\n

They were paired with Grayhound in the opening round of Group B, which looked like a very favourable fixture for a team fresh off a big tournament win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it came to execution, EG fell short. <\/p>\n

A close 8-7 first half was succeeded by a rather one-sided second half (8-3) when we saw Grayhound walk over EG, who did not have an answer for Ozzie’s T-side strategy.<\/p>\n

That 16-10 defeat saw EG descend to the lower bracket, where they met up with the ESL One New York 2018 champions, mousesports. <\/p>\n

While EG were still considered strong favourites to win, mouz pushed them to their limits and secured a spot in round two with a 16-10 win on Mirage and a 22-20 overtime victory on Train.<\/p>\n

With that, Evil Geniuses were sent packing from Malmo after only two days, joining Team Envy, TYLOO and North as one of the worst teams of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Those four teams will take home a consolation prize of $3,000 and an unenviable 13th-16th place finish.<\/p>\n
