EG in talks to create two academy teams - Report

The North American organization could have up to 15 players on the payroll in the near future.

Evil Geniuses are in the final stages of creating a new academy division which could in the future include two different teams, Monday reports from Jaxon and Dust2.us claim.

According to both reports, the North American organization is interested in signing Carpe Diem and Party Astronauts, two lineups who compete without financial backing at the moment, and it has begun talks with both parties.

Neither team has inked a deal yet, as Carpe Diem appear to be significantly further in the process, while talks between EG and Jonathan "⁠Jonji⁠" Carey's team are in their infancy and unlikely to come to fruition soon, Dust2.us' report says.

Carpe Diem could become one of EG's two academy teams

Reports of Evil Geniuses' interest in expanding their CS:GO division come after the main team around Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip failed to provide results expected of the high-profile organization.

Following the additions of the Major-winning trio in the former Liquid leader as well as Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta and William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba at the beginning of 2022, the team has yet to find success, picking up zero wins across their BLAST Premier Spring and ESL Pro League Season 15 appearances and failing to qualify for either PGL Major Antwerp, IEM Dallas, or the BLAST Finals, which leaves their calendar empty for the rest of the season.

The prospect of an academy roster seems to be the organization's response to the main team's disappointing results. However, housing three different teams could cause a number of conflict of interest issues for Evil Geniuses due to ESL, which hosts a large part of the circuit in North America, having a firm stance against organizations fielding multiple teams in one competition.

You’re right technically. The two new DLC characters were available if you bought the expansion pack. And they sucked. And were banned in pro matches. If you reflexively laughed, R6 IEM Dallas was more money than CSGO 🤷‍♂️ Lol you can find butthurt COD players on their PS/Xbox crying because R6 had a bigger prize pool.

Talent will come with more orgs investing, no wonder there's no talent in NA since even pro teams like carpe diem and party astronaut have no financial backup. Hard to leave your job and practice for hours without getting paid. If the money is there, people will come, its as simple as that.

Why would you ever want any team to disband or a region? That would just mean less cs to watch. Less teams = less exposure meaning dying game. If anything we want more teams and more regions to join in and play. Sometimes teams just don’t work out but it gives others a chance. If anything this is really good, it keeps two teams in the mix with their players and gets them paid to stay playing.

Because the main roster isnt doing anything and yet they are paid with such a high salary. And now instead of fixing the main roster they sign 2 more unknown rosters that would take even more money? The orgs shouldnt divide their focus like this. Better to fix the main roster and strengthen its core before branching anywhere else. Unless you want 3 rosters with lack of attention and lack of success

Doesnt matter, it shows the younger players that there is hope for a pro career. Unless you have your parents to back you up financially which is almost impossible in the context of NA, there is not a single reason for anyone to go pro in csgo. It's a dead end where only the 3 top teams can grt paid. With academy's like that, it might bring some new possibility and maybe reignite the flame. They need more orgs to do the same.
2022-05-02 18:35
2 academy teams sounds a bit much but it could be great for the NA scene, hope something good comes out of this
2022-05-02 13:48
this is huge, good on EG, hope more NA teams follow suit
2022-05-02 13:52
So let me get this straight. The main roster hasnt achieved anything and yet these players are paid with such a high salary. And the fix was to sign not one but TWO academy teams which may or may not bring success + more money expended for their salaries. What is the logic behind this? 🤔
2022-05-02 13:52
2 replies
Probably benched players don't get much on their contracts and it is probably not a long contract. You can have two teams for the same money. I would prefer 1 main plus 1 academy.
2022-05-02 14:00
To give hope to the scene. Seriously, nobody wants to go pro in NA if you are never going to get paid. Those 2 were pro teams and they had no financial backup. That means they also had a day job and school. Hard to concentrate and be good at the game when you have so much on your plate. How do you get new talents? You give them a reason and an opportunity to do it as a career.

EG team fix is to relocate to the EU and keep playing (Attend as much as tier 2 or tier 3 events, keep grinding) like how col did in the 2020 season, sacrifice everything and do it, or else time to cut some players and get good prospects in before it is too late.

It is good, i mean the fact they kept supporting the main team they have - thinking it would work in th first place is odd. And how i read the article it feels to me they want to be presented in the top. They won't find that in NA atm. Supporting an academy team is something good though.

It's really cool that they're implicated with the NA scene but conflict of interest would affect them too much
2022-05-02 14:43
Bruh their main team is an academy team
2022-05-02 14:44
Whaat two teams seriously??? You dont need guys Already have 1
2022-05-02 14:45
Imo this is not as bad as people make it seem if EG are smart about it: Have Carpe Diem sent to evrnts like weplay to get the EU experience while having PA in other T2 events that main nor carpe attend. Then proceed to make changes in main roster, specially from PA. Something like Ben Pwnalone Autimatic Rush Brehze/jonji could maybe work better than whatever the current main is

So basically give a bunch of people experience and chemistry and then destroy everything pouching "the best" players?? beyond moronic, never been how you do things in this game. Academy teams are for emergencies and for development, not for team building......

1 reply
Looking back at it, you are right. Synergy would get extremely fcked and having two academies may not really be the best idea since both PA and carpe are in about the same level. For that reason, I believe a merger of PA and cirrent EG with the roster I mentioned + carpe as an academy team would be the far better option
2022-05-02 16:42
I like that roster you got here. Brehze over Jonji though for sure.
2022-05-02 15:24
1 reply
Yeah it's just bias on Jonji here since for the longest of times I've believed he could be the best entry in all of NA, but his aim and maybe versatility overall don't look great compared to brehze who can at least put ok numbers

Tbh i don't get it why they can't build normal roster XD How is Carpe Diem and Party Astronauts an academy roster? It's more like medium level NA teams.They could have played in normal tournaments and gain expirance
2022-05-02 14:56

How is carpe diem and party astronaut not getting paid for playing pro? Of course they are gonna be medium level na if the whole team also has to go to school or at work. How do you plan on making a normal roster if there's no upcoming talent? Going pro in NA csgo is not even a thought since there's no org backing any of them except for the top 3. No wonder they go to valorant or cod. What EG wants to do is great for the scene. Sure none of those teams are going to ve competitive for the moment, but at least you show the younger player that there's hope and opportunities. Thats how you build a scene.

No.That's how u waste players who could shine in tournaments.....Party Astronauts is not a young team....Carpe Diem need to work not as Academy team.Look at ex-ATK roster with Motm and c.o Look for that talent instead of signing already decent team in NA....

They sign the team to make changes on the long run and give an established team a chance to build something. Of course they are old and its pretty obvious the team wont be the same the next year, but you can't go and sign anyone and hope to build a team, you need a team first and then you make the change one at the time. How many times have we seen players making random teams, asking for orgs and actually staying together more than a year? That doesnt happens a lot. You need a core of experienced player with enough resources to let them build something. Even thought they are old, they never had that opportunity. It's the first time they can actually play 24/7. We will quickly see what's need to be fixed. Also, do not forget that EG is by now the first org in NA to try that, so they can't go all in on a blind bet, they need some stability to show that it can be done.

You know the C9 fiasco had 4 EU players in it right? Nothing to do with NA this or NA that, it was just an NA org that tried something stupid with a bunch of brits and Woxic/Esetag. This is weird but I'd wait to see what comes of it. I wonder if they'll take the best 5 of these 3 teams and make it the main roster.

I think it's cool for NA and I respect EG for such decision, withdrawal from CSGO would've been much easier choice. I guess their recent success in LoL after building the roster based on NA academy talents on carry positions might have influenced that.
