    Over the coming weeks, I'll be closely evaluating how different iterations of our roster perform alongside feedback from our VCT team. At the same time, we'll continue working closely with team members on our reserve roster as we evaluate the best next steps for their future,

    An update from our General Manager on our VCT roster.
    “Evil Geniuses was founded on competitive excellence, and those standards have not changed. Our VCT results this season have fallen short of the standard expected of this organization, and as General Manager, it is my responsibility to improve that.  Heading into our match against KRU, we are making roster changes as we owe it to our fans, our partners, and the legacy of this brand to put a more cohesive team on stage. As a result of this, meco1e, Okeanos and C0M have been moved to our reserve roster. We're genuinely excited about the talent coming up through our academy program and will be leveling up zerona and Paincakes to our VCT roster, along with Faded in an assistant coaching position. These team members have been putting in the work, and they deserve the opportunity to show what they can do on a bigger stage.” -Soham “valens” Chowdhury, General Manager

    even if your IGL has really insane mid-round calling skills, the rest of you should still be able to make calls based on your reads. what if your IGL is having a really off game, or he's frustrated at losing rounds in ways you've reviewed but it still happens? relying on (1/3)

    do you think Riot knows if they make the spray patterns consistent in Valorant that even more folks would swap? 🤭🤫😱

    It has been a pleasure to be able to get to know and coach @Stewie and @C9Skadoodle. Congratulations on making history, and an even bigger shoutout for taking the type of risks that shock others. I am proud of you, but more importantly, you should be proud of yourself :)

    Don’t let this distract you from the fact that FaZe Clan blew a 15-11 lead... In all seriousness, this news means our lineup will go down as the only all-american team to have ever won a CS:GO major across 11 YEARS! Yes, I checked all the lineups in the upcoming RMR
