The American team Evil Geniuses announced that it has completed the formation of a new roster. Its latest participant was seventeen-year-old athlete Owen “oBo” Schlatter. He will replace Ethan "Ethan" Arnold, who at the end of February decided to leave Evil Geniuses and move to Valorant.
Schlatter has been without a team for the past six months after he unexpectedly left European Complexity in September 2020 to return to his home country, despite the fact that the team was participating in the playoffs of the previous season of the ESL Pro League championship during this period. The player’s future plans remained unclear for some time. At first oBo expressed his intention to find a new team in America, but later said that he would prefer to stay in Europe for a longer period of time. As a result, he managed to reach an agreement with the team from the USA.
Thus, Evil Geniuses completed the formation of the roster on the eve of ESL Pro League Season 13. In the group stage, which begins on March 25, the team will face strong opponents, including Astralis, fnatic and Virtus.pro. The players expect to break their streak of poor performances and play better than at IEM Katowice, where they were eliminated in the group stage, losing to G2 and Astralis.
