Evil Geniuses confirm Stewie2K signing

18/1/2022 - 19:05

Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta and William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba are rumored to finalize the North American roster.

Evil Geniuses have announced the signing of former Liquid member Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip, unveiling the first of the three new players who will accompany Tsvetelin "⁠CeRq⁠" Dimitrov and Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte in the new lineup.

Over the past three months the organization parted ways with Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz, Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller, Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter, and Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele, while bringing in a new coach in former G2 skipper Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel to take charge of the new project.

Stewie2K has been formally unveiled as EG's third player

The final two players of the new squad under the American banner are yet to be officially revealed. However, multiple reports as well as a series of not-so-cryptic Tweets from EG CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson link the organization with autimatic, who recently parted ways with T1 in VALORANT, and former Complexity player RUSH.

Stewie2K has been appointed the team's new in-game leader, a position he is no stranger to after calling the shots on and off over the past six years in various versions of his Cloud9 teams as well as in Liquid.

With him at the helm, Evil Geniuses will hope to recover from their poor standing in 2021 and return to the kind of heights they reached in the previous two years, when the organization claimed several international and regional titles and spent a large of that time ranked within the top five.

Evil Geniuses have so far confirmed that the following quartet are part of their lineup:

Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte
Tsvetelin "⁠CeRq⁠" Dimitrov
Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip

Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel (coach)

2022-01-18 20:25

2022-01-18 22:52

he does speak english hes playing on international teams for a while now

2022-01-19 02:59

so then again why kick him?

2022-01-19 20:12

2 replies

same reason they kicked obo even though hes good, maybe just complete restart

2022-01-20 04:49

I would personally keep michu, every team you look at nowadays have 2 really good fraggers and michu could be that second guy behind brehze, I dont see either auti, stew or rush do the job that someone like hobbit does behind axile, or bit and elec, obviously im not comparing bit and elec to brehze and stew but if they really wanted to be a contender they shouldve kept him

2022-01-22 15:51

it was a joke ;)

2022-01-19 22:29

Auti did call for a bit but he was calling and awp so it wasn't the best BUT CeRq is the clear awp so maybe Stew/Auti with one of them taking mid round calling.

Yeah but English speaking will have the most top teams except the best one and Furia.

2022-01-18 20:03

you just said "US" an hour ago

2022-01-18 20:32

You think Vitality and FaZe are speaking British English? Same thing.

2022-01-18 20:48

"US will have most teams in top 30 out of all countries"

2022-01-18 20:55

Vitally is Indian, G2 is German, so you got NaVi, Astralis, North, and the Brazilians. It’s not even close with the best American team being FaZe. Every other team is American.

2022-01-19 11:21

2022-01-19 13:30

there will be no more than 3 US teams in the top 30 russia will still dominate in that aspect keep being delusional

2022-01-19 13:33

"british english" you mean english?

2022-01-18 21:00

He means bri-ish

2022-01-19 07:47

its not him

2022-01-18 23:33

It isnt hard to achieve top 30 considering the talent, definitely better than any current polish players rn rofl

2022-01-18 23:50

why do you bring up my country when we are talking about his delusions

poland 1 major usa 1 major stop embarassing yourself

2022-01-19 13:36

Im talking about currently, so you can move the major talk elsewhere, and top 30 isnt that hard again the teams formed

2022-01-20 00:48

You're sniffing solvents.

2022-01-18 20:02

WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF COMPLEXITY ANNNOUNCEMENT.

Let's go Stew4rd2K, Let's see what he can create with this new lineup, I don't really expect much but It's going to be amazing to watch autimatic comeback to this lineup.

big downgrade for both him and Liquid

when I call - pick the phone up

This is the reason esport will never be takin serious. These guys change teams like girl girl changes her cloth

He spent 2 years on liquid are u high

2022-01-18 19:10

Yes, eSports aren't taken seriously lol. They only compete in front of thousands upon thousands of people regularly and make hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars doing so. But yeah, yeah you're right. They aren't taken seriously.

2022-01-18 19:19

nice

PLEASE DONT SIGN RUSH

its too late buddy

he still not confirmed by them tho... only rumours so far

Why?

2022-01-19 00:33

bad

Gl to stewie aka the biggest player of NA CS story

2022-01-18 19:08

That’s old school HiKo or current EliGe

2022-01-18 20:07

i was here

just go to valorant...

Unless Cerq and Brehze step up, this roster is not likely to take off at all. Autimatic has been out for a while and Rush just doesn't have it in him anymore, I feel. Regardless, all the best :)

this player in whatever team is disadvantage

washed up

pog top1 na incoming

good

My favorite player, hope he wins another Major no matter how unlikely that is!

2022-01-18 19:09

2022-01-18 19:30

Easiest bet ever: 2v3 Brehze and autimatic vs EliGe, NAF-fly, and oSee

2022-01-18 20:12

That's what she said

2022-01-18 19:31

2022-01-18 19:32

sad, jks, BnTeT and AZR still don't have a team. I thought EG would sign one of them.

Australia minimum wage is $20.33. Could make more working at a grocery than leaving your family to play for a losing team

2022-01-18 20:22

Hmm that could very well be true

2022-01-18 20:26

Pfffffffff. Who needs this 10amStewart?

LMAO team

I love how a lot of these comments are about who is calling when it tells you in the article

2022-01-19 07:42

Auti? Yes. RUSH? No. They need some sort of IGL. Would be a VERY bad decision to let Stewie IGL tbh.

2022-01-19 07:54

2022-01-19 08:32

still meh. Should sign a proper IGL.

2022-01-19 09:21
