MICHU, oBo, stanislaw part with EG
The North American organization has announced major changes within its CS:GO roster
Things have looked dire for Evil Geniuses in 2021. In late 2019 they managed to rank as the world's best team, according to the official HLTV rankings, for a duration of over three weeks. 2020 saw the North American roster continue their strong form, however, as of late things have been rough. After their recent performance at the PGL Major 2021 in Stockholm, having been knocked out of the event with a 0-3 record, the organization decided to make some big changes to the active roster.
Just announced on their Twitter page, Evil Geniuses part ways with three of its active players in IGL Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz, youngster Owen "oBo" Schlatter, and rifler Michał "MICHU" Müller. The three most recent additions to the team in the above-mentioned players will no longer be performing under the Evil Geniuses banner.
As to which players will be brought in to fill the void in the current Evil Geniuses roster is still unsure. Furthermore questions regarding the three now free agents have already been raised by the CS:GO community, especially in regards to the 27-year-old IGL "stanislaw". The Canadian IGL, however, has already announced on his Twitter that he will not be hanging up his mouse just yet, as he is ready for future challenges to come:
"We showed the world what we were capable of and I’m proud to have accomplished these feats alongside my team and our fans that stuck by us. I am by no means finished with competing, and fighting to become one of the best teams in the world again. I will bounce back, as always."
In regards to the roster of Evil Geniuses more will likely follow within the next short period of time seeing as their roster currently only consists of two players. As it currently stands, with the departure of "oBo", "stanislaw", and "MICHU" the Evil Geniuses roster looks as follows:
Vincent "Brehze" Cayonte
Tsvetelin "CeRq" Dimitrov
