Histoire

modifier

Evil Geniuses a acquis une équipe compétitive de Defense of the Ancients le 12 Avril 2008, composée de joueurs venant de l'équipe eMg[2] EG est entré sur la scène de StarCraft: Brood War le 25 Avril 2009 avec le recrutement de Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson, et Dan "Nyoken" Eidson, ainsi que Eric "G5" Rothmuller, Jake "LzGaMeR" Winstead, et Bryce "Machine" Bates.[3] EG a perdu son équipe nord-américaine de DotA le 3 Décembre 2009, notamment à cause de manque d'entraînement.[4]



EG expanded into StarCraft II during the game's launch year of 2010 with the recruitment of top American player Gregory "IdrA" Fields as well as the well-known commentator and player Nick "Tasteless" Plott on September 9.[5] 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.[6]

On March 31, 2011, long-time member Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, as well as StarCraft II division manager Nick "Tasteless" Plott departed from the organization.[7] EG lost its Heroes of Newerth squad on July 8 to SK Gaming, due to sponsorship complications.[8] 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 his previous organization.[9] Three weeks later, the top Canadian player, Chris "HuK" Loranger, left his long-time organization of Team Liquid, and joined EG, to compete alongside Fields and Lee in South Korea.[10] 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.[11] 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.[12]

On January 7, 2012, EG announced the dismissal of its long-standing Counter-Strike squad.[13] In September 2012, Bulba and Universe left the Dota 2 team due to personal issues and were replaced by Jio "Jeyo" Madayag and Robert "bdiz" Tinnes. On December 5, 2012, EG signed the successful StarCraft: Brood War Zerg player Lee Jae-Dong. On January 25, 2013, EG announced their expansion into League of Legends with the signing of the former Counter Logic Gaming European division – in negotiations that reportedly spanned three months.[14]
