Evil Geniuses Drops Nearly Entire LCS Roster: Significant Squad Changes Ahead of 2023 Summer Split
A few times after Evil Geniuses hinted in a cryptic tweet that there would be significant squad changes ahead of the 2023 Summer Split, the company officially announced that nearly the entire LCS roster would be cut. In 2022, Evil Geniuses ruled as one of the top teams in North America. They enjoyed a lightning-in-a-bottle split in 2022, winning the League of Legends Spring Split by sweeping both Finals matches 3-0.
Even though they had to replace star ADC Danny at the last minute, they still managed to finish third in their domestic season despite not quite being able to reproduce the magic of Summer. Even though Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho and Victor “FBI” Huang were signed. Evil Geniuses’ Playoff run in the Spring of 2023 was cut short when they were defeated 0-3 by Golden Guardians. As a result, Evil Geniuses decided to part ways with almost all of their players and coaches for their LCS team.
According to reports, Evil Geniuses is updating its LCS roster significantly
Fans of the LCS got into a discussion after Evil Geniuses posted a somewhat mysterious tweet. The tweet only mentioned that changes were coming and provided very little information about EG’s improvements.
According to the statement, Evil Geniuses take excellent satisfaction in our dedication to competitive performance and talent development. We will make roster revisions that fully uphold this commitment following the results of our 2023 Spring Split season. No specific information was provided about what EG was planning, only an obligation to provide updates.
Following EG’s announcement, an esports report from Blix. gg provided more information regarding EG’s upcoming roster changes. According to the source, the company intends to let go of its roster. According to reports, Joseph “Jojopyun” Pyun was the sole person left. Along with FBI and Ssumday—despite the latter players only having received one split to demonstrate their value—longtime EG members Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme and Kacper “Inspired” Soma will also be leaving the team.
Following the news, Vulcan immediately started making fun of EG on Twitter while heavily rationing his own company. This information has subsequently been confirmed by Evil Geniuses, who also released a film documenting some of the team’s most memorable moments with the 2023 roster.
In addition, Evil Geniuses has yet to provide any further details on what they want to do with their LCS squad in the summer other than a few tweets announcing the departure of the majority of their coaching staff.
But if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s a Vulcan tweeting a joke. He came back to make fun of his previous organization, and he is anticipated to ratio EG once more.
