Evil Geniuses

Evil Geniuses is a professional gaming organization based out of the United States. Founded in 1999, the organization is known as being the premiere North American electronic sports organization, boasting highly successful players across each competitive genre. Evil Geniuses is a current member of the G7 Teams.

History
Evil Geniuses acquired a Defense of the Ancients roster on April 12, 2008, with the eMg DotA team. EG entered the StarCraft: Brood War scene on April 25, 2009, with the recruitment of World Cyber Games champions Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson and Dan "Nyoken" Eidson, along with Eric "G5" Rothmuller, Jake "LzGaMeR" Winstead, and Bryce "Machine" Bates. EG saw its North American DotA squad depart on December 3, 2009, following two months of minimal practice and insufficient exposure.

EG made its final expansion into StarCraft II for 2010 with the recruitment of the top American player, Gregory "IdrA" Fields, as well as the well-known commentator and player Nick "Tasteless" Plot, on September 9. In a controversial move, EG acquired the brand of fellow North American gaming organization, Loaded on October 9, 2010, but the deal only constituted the company sponsors, team owner and their Heroes of Newerth squad.

On March 31, 2011, long-time member Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, as well as StarCraft II division manager Nick "Tasteless" Plott departed from the organization. EG lost its Heroes of Newerth squad on July 8 to SK Gaming, due to sponsorship complications. Near the end of that month, the Korean North American Star League champion, Ho Joon "PuMa" Lee, joined up with EG, despite the lack of consultancy with said player's previous organization. Three weeks later, the top Canadian player, Chris "HuK" Loranger, left his long-time organization of Team Liquid, and joined EG, to compete alongside Gregory "IdrA" Fields and Lee in South Korea. On October 21, it was announced that the trio would be moving to stay with the South Korean team SlayerS, in accordance with a correlating partnership established between the organizations. EG saw the return of two former DotA players, Clinton "Fear" Loomis and Jimmy "DeMoN" Ho, with the acquisition of their first Dota 2 squad.
