Evil Geniuses added MSS, Universe and Fogged to replace Bamboe, Bdiz and most surprisingly Demon from the team. According to Gamespot, it was tough for EG to let Demon go but the player left on good terms.
Just a few short hours before their post-TI3 debut game in WePlay Season Two, Evil Geniuses have unveiled their new roster and Alaan 'Bamboe' Faraj, Robert 'Bdiz' Tinnes and long time EG player Jimmy 'Demon' Ho are out of the team.
In place of the three outstanding players are former Dignitas players, Ioannis 'Fogged' Loucas and Saahil 'Universe' Arora, and new player to the competitive scene Arif 'MSS' Anwar. Clinton 'Fear' Loomis, EG's team captain, is allegedly given free reigns to decide who is joining or leaving the team. Gamespot reports that the main criteria Fear looked for when selecting these players are consistency and focus, stating the underperformance of the old EG team came from differing opinions and work ethics.
According to the same Gamespot article, the removal of Demon from the team was the hardest decision because he has been with the team since 2011. The final decision for Demon to be excluded from the new EG is a mutual one.
In addition, Braxton 'Brax' Paulson, current LGD.Int player, tried out for Evil Geniuses at one point but was dropped from the team after a two weeks stint because Fear thinks he is not as focused and dedicated during practice. EG replaced Brax with Fogged who is eventually added to the team.
EG is currently participating in WePlay Season Two, very likely to be invited to EMS One America groupstage and also the upcoming MLG Columbus event.
