It was revealed that Evil Geniuses’ entire squad is being replaced save for one player shortly after the team hinted in a cryptic tweet that there would be significant roster changes before the 2023 Summer Split. 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 Spring Split esports 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 want to change their squad in Summer 2023 to increase their chances. According to reports, they intend to let almost all of their team go.
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. She was following up on EG’s announcement, blix.gg published a report that clarified some of EG’s upcoming roster changes. According to the source, the company intends to let go of its roster.
If this allegation is accurate, Joseph “Jojopyun” Pyun would be the sole person left on the team. 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 squad. Following the revelation, Vulcan immediately started making fun of EG on Twitter while massively rationing his own company.
Jojopyun is the one who invented EG and was instrumental in the organization’s growth as one of the top mid-laners in North America. Even his continued association with EG is unknown at this time. Even though the article claims he will remain on the roster, more is still being determined. Fans of the organization are incredibly shocked by this statement. Whether EG intends to assemble a top-tier team with veteran skills or whether they intend to try to make a lineup with a focus on discovering young talent.
