Former Evil Geniuses CEO, players, and fans are outraged after sudden Dota 2 roster and region change
The North American Dota 2 scene was shaken by the news of Evil Geniuses fleeing their homeland to pursue a new strategy. While relocating a division is a common practice in esports, the way EG bid farewell to its iconic roster rubbed the community the wrong way.
EG’s legendary Dota 2 roster, featuring Arteezy, Cr1t, Fly, Abed, and Nightfall was released with a mere Twitter post. Considering the two members of the roster have been with the organization since 2016, EG’s goodbye looked nothing but disrespectful, even causing Alex Garfield, EG’s former CEO, to post a Medium post regarding the situation.
