Evil Geniuses has been the laughingstock of Counter-Strike for the past couple of years. The insanely poor run of results mixed with an array of roster changes, bad decisions and a general lack of vision for the entire project has seen the once-famed North American Organization fall out of the rankings. It’s now over two years since EG was among the 10 best teams in the world. A win against European teams has been exceptionally hard to find for the different iterations of EG’s Counter-Strike teams.
But soon this might all be over. According to journalist Richard Lewis, Evil Geniuses are headed into a time of downsizing which has already begun with the Dota2 team. Both the Women and Mens CS teams are also about to be shut down according to sources of Lewis.
– They’ll plan to just stay in Riot titles. So that means they’ll keep the men’s Counterstrike team until December and will likely cut the women’s teams before that, Richard Lewis cites a source on his substack website.
Evil Geniuses has not commented on the story. EG was founded in Canada in 1999. The Organization has been part of the Counter-Strike scene since the early 2000s. Their biggest tournament win came in 2019 with a $250,000 win at the StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 8.
The current roster of Evil Geniuses:
Timothy “autimatic” Ta
Colby “Walco” Walsh
Jeorge “Jeorge” Endicott
Paytyn “junior” Johnson
Jadan “HexT” Postma
