Evil Geniuses has joined the number of teams for which an unsuccessful performance at a major became a reason to reconsider their current roster. After EG failed to win a single match at the Legends stage of PGL Major Stockholm, its management decided to part ways with three players who were relatively new to the roster. St. Petersburg "stanislaw" will leave the composition. Yarguz, Owen "oBo" Schlatter and Michal "MICHU" Muller.
In 2019, Evil Geniuses performed successfully on the international stage, and in 2020 they remained one of the best teams in North America. However, after Ethan left, "Ethan" Arnold in January 2021, she was never able to reach the previous level. Despite changes to the roster and the appointment of a new coach (Damian “daps” Steele became), the team still did not show the best results.
Evil Geniuses made it to PGL Stockholm, jumping straight into the Legends stage thanks to its wins at North American RMR tournaments against teams such as 00Nation, TeamOne, Triumph and EXTREMUM. The tournament results for Evil Genius showed that its level is significantly inferior to teams from other regions that made it to this stage. Judging by the post published by EG about the departure of three players, she does not plan to play in official matches until the end of the year and promises to “come back stronger in the new year.”
