    Known as one of the biggest orgs in the North American scene, many expected that Evil Geniuses would field a team to compete immediately. However their mixed roster failed to work, thus forcing many changes. After many trials, they will be bringing in Daniel "roca" Gustaferri, Brandon "BRANTED" Ballard, and Mike "pho" Panza.

    These three editions bring a plethora of experience over to the EG roster. Roca was an initial member of Spacestation Gaming until they decided to disband their VALORANT roster in April of this year, playing the Reyna character in 115 of 122 total matches. As for Pho, he has been on various rosters in his time in VALORANT, including both Built By Gamers and eUnited. Meanwhile Branted has been on a number of pug squads for the NSG and VCT tournaments, this will be his trip on a professional team.

    Evil Geniuses will be hoping that this new and improved roster will help them qualify and advance for many tournaments. As they have failed to advance to any of the Challengers main events, often getting ousted before the round of 16 began.

    After these additions, EG is now:

    United States Nolan "Temperature" Pepper United States Christine "potter" Chi United States Mike "Pho" Panza United States Brandon "Branted" Ballard United States Daniel "roca" Gustaferri

    United States Jimmy "LiN" Lin (coach)
