The American eSports organization Evil Geniuses announced that Tarik "tarik" Celik will leave the active roster. The player plans to step away from major competitions for a while and focus on streaming and content creation to begin the next stage in his career. His place in Evil Geniuses will be taken by Polish e-sportsman Michal “MICHU” Muller.
His debut as part of Evil Geniuses will take place in the finals of FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe, which begins on April 10. One of the leaders of Evil Geniuses, Greg Kim, notes that he is glad to have a new player on the roster who is excited about the opportunity to compete against the best teams in the world: “We look forward to seeing him become a part of Evil Geniuses and how the team continues to grow and go to success.”
MICHU has spent most of his career on the local esports scene, representing teams such as ESC, G2 and Kinguin between 2014 and 2018, and was considered one of the most promising Polish players. In 2020, Michal moved to Envy and played more than seventy matches for this North American team with an average rating of 1.09.
Tarik's departure from Evil Geniuses was the result of disagreements that he had with the team's management recently. Now the remaining members and the coach are hoping the addition of the Polish player will energize a team that has won just two of its last seven matches and is currently ranked 15th in the world.
