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.

This team stormed onto the American scene, going undefeated in CEVO-Professional Season 1 to take the gold, and only losing twice in Season 2 on their road to repeat. One loss was to team Pokerstars, with former EG players mO- and Fanat1c, but EG got the last laugh and won the championship. They had continued success in their first international tournament – Farm 4 Fame. In the debut tournament, Team EG beat The Elder Gods (TEG) in the championship in a clean sweep, 3-0. To get there, they had to beat notable teams such as Kingsurf.International and Ravens.

After a period of inactivity, EG was reformed with some familiar faces. They brought back former EG players Remstar and Hit0mi, and mO- and Fanat1c rejoined the team. As much as the new team tried, they could not keep up with the previous team’s success, though they still had very respectable finishes. They came in 3rd in IDEC End of Time, behind Ks.Int and Ravens who they beat in F4F. They also came in 3rd in ESL Major Series Season 4, losing to the eventual winners, Ravens, and getting knocked out by diamondZ (dmZ). EG saw its North American DotA squad depart on December 3, 2009, following two months of minimal practice and insufficient exposure.

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.

Fear is the hardcarry player for the Evil Geniuses, Universe plays the hard support role, Maelk generally takes the jungler/second support, Demon usually takes up the utility, and Bulba is generally the solo-mid semicarry.
