It looks like Gênias do Bem (Good Geniuses) are about to "turn evil" in the Brazilian Game Changers scene. According to a report by THESPIKE Brazil, the Evil Geniuses organization is signing the complete lineup led by the ex-MIBR GC trio of Nicolas "srN" Niederauer, Giulia "lissa" Lissa, and Camila "sayuri" Obam. The move will complete Evil Geniuses' return to Game Changers after more than two years away from the scene.

The North American organization reached an agreement with the roster over the past few days, and only the contract signing remains for the deal to be finalized.

Evil Geniuses Win Out

According to our report, another two foreign organizations showed serious interest in signing the Brazilian lineup. The first of these was the newly founded ORA Esports, who seemingly reached advanced talks to sign the team. The second was none other than Team Vitality, who chose to start conversations to sign the squad but ultimately decided to withdraw from the deal.

Gênias do Bem was created at the start of the 2026 season in order to compete at VALORANT Game Changers 2026 - Game Changers Brazil Kickoff. There, the squad managed to reach the Upper Bracket Finals before losing consecutive matches to MIBR GC and Team Liquid Brazil to finish the tournament in third place.

Future Evil Geniuses GC roster:

  • Brazil Giulia "lissa" Lissa
  • Brazil Nicolas "srN" Niederauer
  • Brazil Camila "sayuri" Obam
  • Brazil Allie "allie" Garjioni
  • Brazil Vitória "vii" Rabelo
  • Brazil Beatriz "bebe" Hornes (Coach)

The last time EG fielded a Game Changers squad was back in 2023, where the team was able to come away with the title at VALORANT Game Changers 2023 - North America Series 3 - Main Event, but fell short of the mark at VALORANT Game Changers 2023 - Championship: São Paulo to put an end to their GC journey. If everything goes according to plan, Evil Geniuses will now return to Game Changers once more, this time to compete in the Brazilian scene.
