Evil Geniuses and MIBR will meet on Saturday, February 1, in the lower bracket of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2025: Americas Kickoff in what should be an entertaining affair.

Following a tough loss to 100 Thieves, MIBR bounced back with a decisive victory against Cloud9 in the first round of the lower bracket. It was a pleasant surprise which pushed MIBR higher up the power rankings, but it is fair to question whether they can keep the momentum going.
Evil Geniuses also found more success in the first round of the lower bracket, which inspires some confidence, but they have not given me enough reasons to believe EG can stop MIBR.
- Expect a competitive game
- MIBR are finding traction
- Evil Geniuses have solid pieces but have yet to reach their full potential
Head to Head
Evil Geniuses and MIBR have yet to meet this season.
Evil Geniuses Form
Evil Geniuses started the 2025 VALORANT esports season with a 0-2 loss to LOUD, who bested them in a closely contested game (14-12, 13-10) in which EG showed some good things.
After the loss, Evil Geniuses bounced back with a 2-0 sweep of the struggling FURIA, who they beat 13-7 on Abyss and Fracture. It was a good win, but it also came against one of the weaker teams in the league, so I would not praise EG too much.
Even their close game against LOUD can be taken with a grain of salt, as it was the first match of the season. So the question here is how good Evil Geniuses really are.
Evil Geniuses Squad & Team News
Evil Geniuses have not announced any new roster changes.
- Derrek "Derrek" Ha
- Nicholas "NaturE" Garrison
- Phat "supamen" Le
- Jacob "icy" Lange
- Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker
MIBR Form
MIBR managed to pick up a win against Cloud9 in the first round of the lower bracket, which put them under the radar. It was a much better game compared to what MIBR showed against 100 Thieves in the upper bracket.
Erick "aspas" Santos was the key player on MIBR in their upset of Cloud9, as he averaged a 1.27 performance rating and 1.67 on Abyss. His teammate, Nozwerr also had a solid showing on the final map (Pearl), where he posted an 18/9/9 KDA and 1.65 rating.
The win against Cloud9 was a positive surprise from MIBR, but it is fair to question whether they can keep playing like that or whether the win was nothing more than a flash in the pan.
MIBR Squad & Team News
MIBR have not made any roster changes.
- Arthur "artzin" Araujo
- Eduardo "xenom" Soeiro
- Gabriel "cortezia" Cortez
- Agustin "Nozwerr" Ibarra
- Erick "aspas" Santos
Verdict
Evil Geniuses and MIBR have shown some good things this season, yet neither have produced enough to be considered a good team. So far, both can be described as good but not great.
However, while there seems to be very little to separate Evil Geniuses and MIBR, the Brazilians have shown more in their recent outing. With aspas in great form and Nozwerr having his moments, MIBR are a scary team to face.
Evil Geniuses also have players who can pop off, but we have yet to see that from them, so it is easier to make a case for MIBR as the most likely winners.
